That's what people said about the 1984 movie.Villeneuve with all he had managed to put a knife into the book by not understanding the bookS.

The BIG difference is that Lynch said he could not repect them. Villeneuve said otherwise.That's what people said about the 1984 movie.
That is a shame. Maybe it was my age at the time but I found the book frightening at times. I remember reading alone in the house and actually feeling spooked. Netflix or another streaming service should invest in an update that will scare the bejesus out of us.4/10 – Salem’s Lot (1979) – This is the mini-series version with David Soul, Lance Kerwin, Bonnie Bedelia, Fred Willard and James Mason. A younger friend of mine expressed in an interest in Stephen King, so I got this from the library as I remember it being very popular when it came out. But we only watched half an hour as nothing happened. I ended up watching the rest later as I have a bad habit of finishing pretty much anything that I start. I found it to be almost shockingly slowly paced and very cheap in production, effects, costumes and make-up. It almost has the look of a production put together by a small-town TV station. The performances are quite good, but it just feels like the director had to fill up four hours of the TV schedule when he planned to make a 90 minute movie. And the production budget was slashed by 90% one month before filming was set to begin.

The book was excellent in my opinion and scared the hell out of me as a teen.That is a shame. Maybe it was my age at the time but I found the book frightening at times.

Teaser trailer for Joel Coen's (of the Coen Brothers) new film, The Tragedy of Macbeth starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand:
It looks like Bergman's The Seventh Seal and I'm here for it.
It’s actually the original full title of the play, so I wonder if this will be a “faithful” adaptation in the sense that Kenneth Branaugh’s Hamlet was the full unabridged adaptation (making people scratch their heads as to why it was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay back in the day since all he did was make copies of Shakespeare’s full text). It’s hard for me to believe Joel Coen can do a straight adaptation though, but maybe he has a more seriousI'm glad they added tragedy to the title so we know that the peppy comedy of the original Macbeth is something we won't be seeing once again.
9/10 – Minari – Another nominee for best picture at the last Oscars and it made me start feeling confused about which picture should have won…as I loved this movie. So beautifully directed by Lee Isaac Chung! And Alan Kim is so adorable as David. I’m happy that Youn Yuh-jung won the Oscar for supporting actress, but I’ve yet to see three of the other performances. And happy to see Steven Yuen with a breakthrough role after enjoying him on The Walking Dead for so long. Some of Yuen’s upcoming projects:

It’s crazy how much we differed. I thought Minari was cute at best, lacking a bit of depth, and was too afraid to deal with issues Asian-Americans would face in the South, speaking as an Asian-American growing up in the period the young boy in the film did in the state directly south of where the movie was set.
Yes, she was wonderful. And deserved all the awards she got.To me, the grandmother character played by Youn Yuh-Jung saved that movie and not only gave it real gravitas and some form of compelling conflict, but also provided the film some star quality. Oscar well deserved.
He's having quite the year, isn't he? Both this film and Power of the Dog look to be outstanding performances from him, and then we have him returning as Doctor Strange in the new Spiderman movie. He also starred in two other excellent film releases earlier this year, The Mauritanian and The Courier. For us Cumberbatch fans, it's quite the feast. I'm loving it.Benedict! And cats!
