There's a new The Stand miniseries coming out this week and I had no idea...

I love that book, one of my all time favourites. Sucks that Whoopi Goldberg is in it, but will definitely check it out. Hopefully it does the book justice, unlike the chitty Dark Tower movie. The 90's series was ok.

Book was one of my favourites of all time. Amazing writing. But that trailer looks like they gloss over the people coming together and just rush straight to the good versus evil. Hoping that's not the case. Not 100% on the casting either, Stu should be older than that guy for sure.

Apparently they skip the start of the whole thing and go straight to muh Good vs Evil chit.

I watched The Stand as a kid and loved the apocalypse starting. Thats the whole point of watching this stuff - to see the end of days. I wasn't going to watch this anyway and the author is a fukin soy lord these days.

Read the book in 5th grade. Shouldve waited two years, while nothing went over my head, I took for granted the detail and emotion and just liked the cursing, sex, and violence. Trash man was awesome.

The ABC miniseries was pretty good. Good casting.

M o o n... that spells awesome

Edit - my teacher called my parents and was concerned I was reading Stephen King lol. Cuck

All they had to do was social distance, close restaurants and wear masks.

I feel like Steven King books to movies are either god tier or completely chit tier.

Misery, Stand by Me, Shawshank, Green Mile, The Shining. All of them 10/10.

Dark Tower, Carrie remake with Chloe (sry pwally), Pet Semetary, and all the B-class horror movies from his novellas and short stories. 0/10 not even worth talking about.

This one looks like the latter.

Agreed, with one exception. The original The Stand miniseries was the definition of not bad, 7/10.

Watched the original ABC miniseries quite a few times. Really hoping they don't butcher the remake. Can't say I am a huge fan of the cast, but I figured they would ruin IT with the remake and they came through. Cautiously optimistic. Won't forgive them if they screw it up.

May have to listen to Anthrax "Among The Living" to get psyched up for it.
