I agree with the OP.
Plus, I think that the 1994 series is far superior to the 2020 effort, although there are things that the later CBS series did better. The addition of Rita's character, for example. The weak point of the 2020 effort was, I think the script.

Who knows? What do you think?

I hope so too, but judging from the little that I've seen so far, I doubt that it will.
So do I Stones, but I'm not optimistic.
This is one of my favorite films because it is so faithful to the book, which is my favorite story by King and one of my all-time favorites by any author.
Liking Post-Apocalyptic stories in general, I consider this story to be King's best work. My understanding is that he disagrees, giving that status to the Dark Tower series, which BTW, includes Flagg as one of the villains in that series.
These boards have been dormant for so long and I hope that we can have many conversations about the books and both series in the future!
And being a guy, I don't think that Flagg is hot. But since I gather that you are of the female persuasion, be my guest.
You won't find out by reading the book, as it doesn't tell how Barlow became a vampire either.
Louis Jourdan was the Count and Frank Findlay was Dr. van Helsing. But, sorry; no Christopher Plummer.
My fear is that this film will spend more effort on being 'woke', than they will in telling the story.
The '79 version of SL was good; no denying that, but the best vampire film of all time was the 1977 BBC effort, 'Count Dracula'. In part, this is because it was the most faithful to the 1897 book by Bram Stoker.
I have had it for a long time. It is not bad, although it was not quite what I expected.
Creepy Uncle Joe was ALWAYS worse than Trump. And I don't particularly like Trump.

While I'm not 100% certain about it, I don't think that it is Belinda Meudjilk. I could be wrong though.
I'll have to check that out.
Thank you.
Another example might be the 1994 ABC miniseries, The Stand. I loved it but some hated it. Instead of attacking them, I spoke to them in a reasonable manner and for the most part, we had good conversations.
Just because you don't like TKAM doesn't mean that you are a bad person. Personally, I liked it, and re-watch it from time to time.
I dislike a couple of films that others greatly admire (Arlington Road, and 2001:A Space Odyssey). I was called all sorts of names for saying that, as some felt that EVERYBODY just had to love these absolutely GREAT pictures and if you didn't there was something wrong with you.
As I say, I loved TKAM, but I don't demand that everyone like it just because I think it is a great film.
You're entitled to your opinion.
No takers??
I really have my doubts that will happen, though. Rittenhouse will likely be pursued by a bitter vengeful media because they did not get his head on a platter that they so desperately wanted.
Does anyone remember George Zimmerman?
The name I always heard was Walter, as well. Thanks, folks, I appreciate the responses.
Agreed. It's long past time to tell the emperor that he is being scammed, and he really has nothing on.

And you still can't accept that because he acted in self-defense, he is not a murderer.
BTW, I notice that you still haven't answered my question about what legal issues you have in the way the trial was conducted and it's been nearly two weeks since I asked.
Care to answer?
