Thanks! I used to stream football games that way (I lived in an apartment at the time where the tv and my office desk were close to one another). I wouldn't averse to returning to that technique, but I'd need a much longer cable now, or a series of them connected to each other.

It seems like it's tailor-made for me, but when I initially subscribed, it wasn't Chromecast compatible. I've gone to their customer service, but there non-answer is always along the lines of "We're working on it, and follow us on social media so we can let you know!" Kind of annoying, but let me ask you: How do you…

I agree with the points you make, and yet I still would choose the movie over the novel 10 times out of 10. I think streamlining the POV strengthened the narrative for the film version, for example, and I found Lindquist's prose to be awkward and clunky (yes I know it's translated, but this isn't the case with other…

Let the Right One In. I know Lindquist adapted his own novel, but he made all the right changes (and deletions).

Here's mine: I grew up in upstate New York, but read Cuckoo's Nest at a young age, so Kesey was one of my heroes. I made a short road trip to Albany to see him give a talk at SUNY, and even got to meet him and ask him a question. This was just six months before he died so it was (is) sort of a Big Life Event for me.…

Sounds like it falls into a trap most found footage films fall into - someone had to find the footage, and do the editing to lay it out in the manner and order in which we are watching it.

How so? I'm not trolling you, genuinely curious. Because I tried to take the same approach: I'm not really liking this, and is that because I'm holding it up to this impossibly high standard?
So in thinking about it on its own merits, I thought small chunks of it were good - Danny's intervening years, his struggles,…

Same for me, re: Gerald's game. Though I read it all the way through (this would have been around the time when it was new, I think, and I would have been 13ish), it was easily my least favorite King novel until Buick 8 years later (and the final three Dark Tower novels after that).

Have you read Doctor Sleep? Let's not encourage King to write any more sequels. (I wonder what a Neil Gaiman or Dan Simmons would do with such material, though.)

Well stated. My most personal example is Bart Sells His Soul. I was a teenager when it first aired, and thought it was hilarious, mainly due to the B plot of Moe opening a family restaurant. I'd seen the episode a few times over the years, and caught it again, very recently. I was absolutely floored to the point of…

I enjoyed his Black Mirror episode.

That's great, now just leave the rest of your suggestions on the floor there…

I just read through all the comments to make sure someone already pointed this out.

At first glance at the top photo, I thought 'When did Cillian Murphy morph into a young Dolph Lundgren?'

The Rock could probably send him to Mars, where he'd be Starburst.

Nick Cannon, Mena Suvari, and Ving Rhames (who was also in 2004's Dawn remake but plays a different character here. Huh?). Directed by Steve Miner, who's kind of a hack, but has made horror movies (e.g. a couple Jasons, Lake Placid). How they assembled this group for a Day remake is beyond weird. As to the original, I…

A wizard did it.

IIRC, it was yet another example of a great trailer but a 'meh' movie. Everything was there for it too succeed: R rating, Olyphant, Mitchell (I love gals who aren't afraid of doing lots of genre pics), and despite the remake taboo, a timely story, and I'd argue that not all Romero remakes have been bad. Yet its…

Lawnmower Man! (Get up offa my lawn…)

I dig everything you're saying here, just want to point out that they did make a movie (direct to video) of Dolan's Cadillac, and it was fucking terrible. They changed the Cadillac to a behemoth SUV (albeit, the Cadillac brand), and cast Christian Slater as Dolan and Wes Bentley as Revenge Dude (forgive me not…
