Posted: 5/21/07 at 6:36pmHer Misery is really quite a classic early 90's performance to be remembered and it saddens me that she doesn't get as much notice either for her forceful Dolores Claiborne. It doesn't really make much sense actually.

Posted: 5/21/07 at 7:33pmIt's my favorite, too. Although, Shawshank is right up there! My favorite of the TV stuff is Storm of the Century.

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Kathy gave an utterly unforgettable performance.
I also got a kick out of this lady:

I love this movie, and Bates's performance. Caan was great, too.
One of the successful "King" movies. Others include: Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Shining, Creepshow, Cujo, It (I don't care, it scared me!), Shawshank, Night Flier (no one's seen this! scary ****!), Dark Half, Dolores Clairborne, and Green Mile.
Secret Window wasn't bad, and featured an inspired performance by Depp.

Posted: 5/22/07 at 8:00amImagine how VERY different the movie woulda been if the original person they wanted to play Annie Wilkes had accepted it!

I love Bette, but I think she is ALL WRONG for that part, and am glad that she declined.

Posted: 5/22/07 at 11:40amNo, but Eli Roth is going to do CELL.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Rose Madder is a great book, if a bit schizo.
I would love to see Bag of Bones done as well.
