Two Adaptations

I watched Mazes and Monsters, hoping it would be as funny and stupid as the book. It ended up being just stupid, for the most part. It was about on par with Reefer Madness, which I didn't enjoy at all. I was able to fast forward through the boring shit in order to find out if the main character would be sucking any dick like he did in the book, but they cut that part out. That was the best part, too! (He flips out and thinks he's in a D&D game and gives a blowjob to a 'paladin' he meets in the streets of NYC, convinced it's part of his quest.)

That aside, they made a movie out of The Mist, and I'm totally looking forward to it. It's one of Stephen King's better stories, especially if you get the campy surround-sound radio-play audio version and listen to it in a dark room. Just the other day I was wishing they would, and now suddenly it's about to be in theatres. Heh.

Left wrist has deteriorated and is constantly braced. Typing is a real pain in the ass. On the bright side, I have hazelnuts and a nutcracker, and life is good.

  1. Yea I couldn't sit through Mazes and Monsters, it wasn't even bad enough to be entertaining.

    On the other hand, The Mist, was awesome. They did a really good job with the creatures and the acting is awesome.

  2. the mist was balls. Stephen king succeeds once again at taking an incredibly intriguing concept and turning it into a long ramble about how terrible religion has made people act to each other. If i wanted pointless social commentary, I would have watched a Michael Moore documentary.
