It isn't very good at all. In fact it's pretty much an object lesson in the dangers of over-faithful adaptations.

Can one really say that the supernatural element has been toned down? Lloyd and Grady appear out of nowhere, the ghosts that Wendy sees at the end, Jack in the picture.

The Dissolve had a pretty good article a while back about what a dickweed Stephen King has been over the film version of "The Shining", paying specific attention on his 1990s TV adaptation and how much it sucked.

Or Mrs. Krabappel's 98.6 degrees status.

I don't know what purpose Barney would fill if not the town drunk. Then again, I haven't watched "The Simpsons" reguarly for about 12 years.

The AV Club has certainly become much more of a contemporary pop culture website. Which is fine if you want to talk about "Saturday Night Live" but a problem when it comes to lists like this.

Exactly. Don Birnam is drinking heavily from the first scene of the movie and doesn't quit until the end.

I saw her naked onstage in "The Graduate" 13 years ago. It was weird.

Irish-Americans Gear Up For The Reinforcin' O' The Stereotypes

The last couple of seasons of "Mad Men" have been the Don Draper Humiliation Tour, which in my humble opinion is why they've sucked, but maybe the most depressing thing was seeing Duck Phillips lead Don's replacement into Sterling Cooper. Maybe next seasons Weiner can have Don wet the bed or something.

The AV Club reviewed it for a while. It got something like two dozen comments per review.

Yes, what happened to Lacey Chabert? She should be more famous, dammit.

"Lost in Space" would have been a good time to have him on.

This is the best comment I have ever read here.

I think I remember reading that LeBlanc was sleeping on a friend's couch and had something like $12 to his name when he got the part of Joey.

Basinger is nearly a foot too tall, IIRC

Or maybe she was involved in the murder of the other spy family.

Paige is going to find Jesus? That's hilarious, can't wait.
