I agree to a point, the actress who played Nadine was horrible. Molly Ringwald wasnt great either. Tom Cullen was great, Stu was fine. Larry sucked and so did Julie Lawry. Harrold was fine. Widh they would remake this as a feature!
shareJust seen this is was on the horror channel few weeks back and was on my planner.
I liked parts 1 and 2 more than 3 or 4.
but then started to get a little boring.
Have seen a lot worst though so gave The Stand a 5.
Next I try watch The Langoliers , It and some of his other stuff.

Just seen this is was on the horror channel few weeks back and was on my planner.The Stand is easily my favorite SK novel and one of my favorites by any author. And because the mini-series followed the book so well, it is one of my all-time favorite films.

I have Misery on DVD and have watched it, but for some reason I did not seem to care for it all that much. The story just did not hold much appeal for me. I have not read the book.
What do you think of misery Gary? Also your for a treat with the shinning.

So what did you think Gary of the shinings?Because it is said to be a lot closer to the book, I decided to watch the Garris version first, but unfortunately, my DVD player chose that time to act up, so I had to use my portable. The disc works in the portable just fine, but I only got to finish Part I.
Ditto, old fríend. For anyone who read the book, this would be a másterpiece, its so close to the story as your imagination allows it. I've missed talking about it as i ve missed talking to you.
Well, I certainly hope that you were referring to me and if you were, then thank you. You're much too kind to this old man. Are you the lady whose first language was Portuguese?

Close. Spanish.
And i was talking about you. I finished reading IT like in 4 days. Have you read it?
Thank you; like I say, I appreciate the very kind words. Yes, I have read It, and I have seen the mini-series as well. It ranks very highly in my King universe. While there were differences, the mini-series was reasonably faithful to the novel.

While there were differences, the mini-series was reasonably faithful to the novel.Kubrick's version of it was decent as well. I'm not overly fond of Jack Nicholson, and I thought Rebecca de Mornay was better as Wendy than Shelley Duvall. On the other hand, Scatman Crothers was the better Dick Halloran. Over-all I give a slight edge to the Garris version.
Incidentally, I just finished the Mick Garris version of The Shining, and thought that it was really pretty good.
Next DVD to watch is the Kubrick version of The Shining.

Julie Lawry at the pharmacy was my favorite scene of the movie. She was so cartoonishly evil normally I hate this type of character but she sells it so good. It's downright hilarious and I loved it.
shareI don't disagree with you about Molly Ringwald. I don't think they could have miscast the role of Frannie any worse if they had tried.
Having said that, after watching the mini-series and having read the book, oh, about 50 times now, I have begun to actually picture some of the characters in my mind the way that they appeared in the mini-series.
Stu will always be Gary Sinise, Larry is Adam Storke and I can't think of anyone better to play Tom than Bill Fagerbaake.
But there are others aside from Frannie who were miscast.
Corin Nemec? Really? Laura Sangiacomo is not Nadine. Rob freakin Lowe as Nick? Nuh-uh.
And imho I think Justin Long would be a great Nick Andros.
I remember this film not leaving a strong impression on me. Probably because it felt to tv-acted for me. But i didn't understand the genre at the time so more than 20 years later I'd like to rewatch this if i can find it.

hey leyenda61. I just found it on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUs-1ejBVfU&t=163s
plus 3 other parts.
It's now on Youtube in 4k in full for free. Just search for "The Stand 4k" and you'll find it. Feels like a new experience in such hi-definition.
shareCompletely agreed. And the production values are embarrassing. Awful.
shareIt was a made-for-TV mini-series made in 1994. What were you expecting?
And, please don't say anything trite like, "high-production values" or something like that.
My curiosity is piqued here. What do you mean by this? share
Completely agreed. And the production values are embarrassing. Awful.
He means the sets look cheap, the special effects are bad, and it’s shot like a soap with lots of close-ups instead of a cinematic style with vast widescreen expanses and complex camera moves.
While I agree, I don’t mind the restrained style, it puts the story and characters front and centre.
ABC kept the series on a fairly tight budget, so it was shot on 16mm film to save money. In 1994 large screen televisions were still something of a rarity so the filmed for the television perspective. In 1994 it didn't seem so cheap. I was 26 when it aired, and I thought it was pretty impressive for a television production. Now 29 years later I agree it looks rinky-dink in places. But thanks to the power of nostalgia, I am willing to overlook such things.
shareI kind of feel the acting is ick in most Stephen King productions. It flowed like his remake of The Shining (shouldn't be remade).
