I always interpreted it as a comment on the persisting power of evil: as long as there are humans to corrupt, Flagg will endure. The good guys in America dealt a huge blow, but it's not like they completely rooted out all evil in the universe forever.

Just make sure to wear reflective clothing at all times, and keep an eye out for erratic drivers.

The problem with King endings is that he always builds this grand structure of dread, excitement, and horror, then invariably wraps it all up with some random deus ex machina, often in the form of the protagonist suddenly and inexplicably realizing how to resolve the conflict/defeat the antagonist. Needful Things, IT,…

I agree that Harold is one of the stronger characters in the book, largely because of the mingled disgust and pity that King evokes in the reader. He's the Gollum of the book, repulsive yet so obviously damaged that you can't help but feel for him.

Wow … I guess I don't get jokes? How did I miss that?

McPickle, he was in "The Time Machine" and "Bedtime Stories." I like him, but he's not exactly Daniel Day Lewis here.

Seriously, no Chicago screening? Some random Atlanta suburb can get it, but not here? Bullshit.

Link pls?

Isn't there a rumor that Neil Gaiman might be into Scientology. There was a profile written on him recently in the NYT (or the New Yorker, I forget), and the journalist wasn't able to get a straight answer out of Gaiman regarding the rumor. If that's true, then the Scientologists have really upped their game.

@Judgy: I thought they did sleep together fairly early, like in the second or third episode. To the show's credit, it doesn't make a big deal of the event or anything. It's almost as if it sneaks that part in to defuse any sexual tension right off the bat so that it can explore more interesting sides of their…

There was a thread a while back where all the commenters posted their year of birth. The median seemed to fall in the early 80s/late 70s.

Yeah, Steinfeld is up for Best Supporting Actress because it's the only way she has even a ghost of a chance at winning something. It's kind of dumb but not terribly confusing.

My favorite explanation of it came from somebody on these boards. Paraphrased: People may be going to see THE ROOM "ironically," but they're still paying for their tickets with actual money.

Normally I'd agree with you, Flaubert, but JGL did a good enough job playing an all-around badass in that film that I totally bought him as some sort of dream-world fighting master. Plus, that single-take hallway beatdown in the middle was so awesome that Jim Carrey could have been playing the part and it still would…

Come on Steve, be more constructive with your feedback!

Yeah, that made me utter "Yikes" under my breath when I read it. Time to drown the pain and awkwardness with junk food!

Don't forget his turn in 28 Days Later. His performance in that film is largely responsible for it rising above similar genre entries.

… and that mule went on to save Spring Break!

He looks like that guy at the end of the parasite episode of Star Trek: TNG. Picard needs to phaser that thing, doublequick.

Let's talk some more about "The Invention of Lying." Because, wow, it had a killer premise. And, wow, did it start sucking like crazy in its second half.
