Let& #39;s see a show of hands:
Who& #39;s going to watch The Stand now that we know that Whoopi Goldberg is playing Mother Abigail?
@realDonaldTrump? How about you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l--4gu4CQBM">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

It looks like a pile of crap anyway, but Whoopi is the cherry on top.
A Nebraska resident living next to a cornfield, and she has...blonde dreadlocks.
And John Lennon sunglasses.

The Walkin& #39; Dude was a smiler.
He was zany and on the edge of control.
This series looks as heavy as a female social-justice warrior and just as grim.
The Walkin& #39; Dude is Alexander Skarsgård.

HORRIBLE casting.
Fran sounds like she& #39;s 15.
Basically nobody has character.
No interesting faces or styles.
Guess what the problem is?
The material.

The two best movies based on Stephen King& #39;s novels are Misery and Dolores Claiborne.
The common denominator?
Kathy Bates.
EVERYBODY in Dolores Claiborne is great.
But Bates made both movies.
I hated The Shining.
There& #39;s a reason why.

I picked up on the fact that Kubrick tortured Shelley Duvall until she lost her mind.
He was a notorious sadist.
The only Kubrick Film I like is Doctor Strangelove.
Even so, it& #39;s as subtle as an anvil falling on your head.

General Jack D. Ripper?
Colonel Bat Guano?
Major King Kong?
Kubrick was a giant time waster. You know what he reminds me of?
The type of scale-model builder who superdetails engine on aircraft and then glues the engine panels shut.

Some guy saw the best aircraft model I ever made and was horrified that I hadn& #39;t painted and weathered the parts of the engine that could not be seen.
"I can& #39;t enjoy this model knowing that the engine isn& #39;t completely painted," he said.
"I can& #39;t enjoy this model knowing that the engine isn& #39;t completely painted," he said.
I asked him if he painted model soldiers.
He did.
"How can you enjoy them knowing that you didn& #39;t paint the soles of their boots before epoxying them to the base?" I asked.
No answer, of course.

Kubrick made R. Lee Ermey extemporize all the insults in the boot-camp sequence of Full Metal Jacket.
He transcribed them and made Ermey memorize them while catching tennis balls thrown at him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHxf17yJsKs">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

GUESS WHAT?
Kubrick& #39;s fabled "attention to detail" is a MYTH.
Ermey& #39;s punch starts with his left fist and finishes with his right after the edit.
A basic continuity error.
Full Metal Jacket is full of them.

I could list 100 such errors, but the point is that Kubrick was FAR more interested in inflecting suffering than making great movies.
Today& #39;s entertainment is about being "woke."
WHOOPI GOLDBERG AS MOTHER ABIGAIL.
CBS lost its marbles.

I have thousands of old movies I can watch.
Movies I never saw before.
I& #39;ll still with those until 2024.
Things will have changed drastically by then.
