 I actually like the film, mostly.  |

I'm going to be a difficult audience for Spike to win over.
I love the Novella and view it as one of King's best, so if it's not done really well I probably won't like it much.

I'm going to go into this with a Marvel mindset, not expecting it to be very much like what I read. That might give it a fighting chance, but I don't remember reading that the mist "new" anyone.

Yeah, me either. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from Under the Dome, which I thought was a weak effort by King and an even weaker TV production by CBS.  |

To be honest, most of Kings work hasn't translated well to screen.

Darabont is really the only one to come close to trying to stay faithful, but I think King is just difficult outside of print.

I'll just watch The Stand again The Stand should have been a 5 parter because they completely ignored (or underplayed) the free zone section of the story. And the relationship between Harold and Fran was all wrong. |

And the relationship between Harold and Fran was all wrong. Yeah, there were issues. I didn't realize how much had been changed until I read it the first time (complete and uncut book version). It would have been awesome if they could have done it in a mini season format, like is done with some shows today. That was probably unheard of back then though |

I'm curious why they wouldn't want to remake it now in that type of format. They could tell a more complete story

It's not like Hollywood is afraid of re-makes or anything. Hey, Hollywood! Why you keep re-making good films? There was nothing wrong with The Manchurian Candidate. The first The Mummy was good. Why not take BAD movies and re-make them, eh?  |

I gave it a shot.
The writing is really bad.
I can't even force myself to watch it when nothing else is on.
