TraeHave you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?
ganksyThe Dark Tower. Was so embarrassed that I brought my wife thinking someone could possibly take 8 books and boil them down to 95 minutes that I made us leave a half hour in. It trivialized everything about the books in the worst way possible.
Also, Nacho Libre. Just couldn’t do it. I don’t ding JB for it at all but really bad.
There are bad adaptations, and then there’s the Dark Tower, which was akin to a full palm-open slap to the fans while desperately hoping they could maybe appeal to some movie goers that were unfamiliar with the books, which it failed to do spectacularly.
Most of Steven King books end up this way. It’s pretty much expected at this point.
Hey now, The Mist, The Shining, Salem’s Lot, Storm of the Century, 1408, Rose Red (Depending on your tastes of course, it’s bad, but very watchable) that would like a word. Hell, Silver Bullet and Maximum Overdrive Are also not bad if you enjoy less than great movies.
Yea, but most have been a bust and pretty bad in my experience.
And Shawshank Redemption! People always forget it’s based on a King novella
