Ooo. Yea. His credits are some of my more recent favorite thriller/horror movies.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I didnt even know he wrote a sequel to it. Oops. My girlfriend is a huge King fan and she missed that as well.

[epilogue]

Hopefully Flanagan can do for this book what Kubrick did for The Shining.

If so, I'm all in.

But the source material has me beyond skeptical. Fingers crossed.

I sure did. When it first came out. So, it's been a while.

So you were not a fan?

Ive only read a synopsis of it now and it seems rather strange but I never judge a King novel until i read it.

[epilogue]

It was one of the least interesting of King's recent books. It was unnecessary and silly and forgettable. But The Shining (for me) isn't a great book either. And Kubrick made that thing OUTSTANDING. So maybe this will be another rare film that far exceeds the source material. We'll see.

And that means Ewan is busy and not doing Obi Wan

Did we really need Obi Wan though?

Man, I can't wait. This was one of my son's favorite films when he was little and it's been great seeing the characters grow along with the kids watching it. Kind of like Harry Potter, in a way.

Though seeing a bearded Hiccup and he sounds like Jay Baruchel?
