ragnarok1945 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Keep it at Stephen King's books/films. All I'm saying is that in The Mist the government's secret backfired on them (but they were able to correct it quickly according to the film) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I have not, I devoted to The Mist and will soon watch the 1990 Lord of the Flies movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Lord of the Flies and The Mist's only difference is really just age. King must have wanted to show adults can be every bit as primitive as children once the circumstances allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Again, The Mist, Lord of the Flies, and I guess 1408 shows it quite well (though only the Mist's ending was the good one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsterikcAde Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 The trippiest Stephen King based movie I ever watched was the one with the Clown, I think the movie is called "The Thing" and also the Langoliers, those are my favorites.

ragnarok1945 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 When I first watched it many years ago, I had hoped for them to stay stuck in the limbo. I just don't see King giving happy endings to films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I would have liked to see the plane crash, or for the Langoliers to eat the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 actually I think it's King's style to leave things hopeless, not in death. That's why I liked The Mist's ending (though that was more Hollywood made up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 well that's why he did for the book The Mist, where they were simply driving off into a completely unknown future (they don't even know if anyone else is alive out there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
