The Langoliers (1995)

I know The Langoliers isn’t great. A lot of people would call The Langoliers below average. I call The Langoliers nostalgic happiness in the form of a mini-series that never truly knew what it was doing. In the same way that I find charm in The Happening, I do derive joy from this mess. It […]

Salem’s Lot (1979)

Once upon a time, probably 6-8 years ago, I watched Salem’s Lot for my October marathon. I want to post what I had to say about it. “Sigh. I wanted to like this movie. I had never seen it, and I gave it a solid effort. but it just wasn’t happening for me. Maybe if […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 9 “The Circle Closes”

Okay, we get some new original content here. I bet the IMDB scores for this have to be decent, right? The ratings per episode, by episode, starting with 1 and the episode number is in parentheses are: (1) 6.9, (2) 6.6, (3) 6.8, (4) 6.9, (5) 7.0, (6) 6.6, (7) 6.6, (8) 6.5. This episode […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 8 “The Stand”

This looks like the group will be put on trial. That sounds dumb as hell. Maybe it will be funny or better than expected. I also hope to see Kojak help out Stu. That was one of my favorite aspects of the book that the 94 version didn’t show enough of. And of course, this […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 7 “The Walk”

My biggest question for this episode is absolutely ridiculous but important. Can James Marsden fall as cool as Gary Sinise did? I’ve got an Oscar Meyer P3 protein pack with turkey, bacon, and Colby Jack. It’s pretty tasty. Hopefully, I don’t fall asleep. This episode is called The Walk and yet I feel like I […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 6 “The Vigil”

The stage is set for things to happen in Boulder. Harold is now in his sixth episode of plotting and being vengeful. It’s time, dude. More importantly, we finally get to meet Trashcan Man. Why the fuck did it take this long to get to one of the most beloved characters in this story? Ezra […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 5 “Fear and Loathing In New Vegas”

Wait, are we gonna play Fallout New Vegas? Just curious. That game is pretty good, although I prefer 3. To catch you up, Boulder now has electricity, Teddy has been shot and killed by Nadine, Dayna Jurgens, Judge Harris, and Tom Cullen are on their way to New Vegas to be spies, and Harold is […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 4 “The House of the Dead”

Right now, I am hoping that we meet a few more side characters, and of course, Trashcan Man. By the looks of it, we should meet Dayna Jurgens and Julie Lawry in this one. Also, I know it isn’t as important, but I hope they spend more time in Vegas at one point or another. […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 3 “Blank Page”

In my opinion, the show improved from Episode 1 to Episode 2. I also feel that has a lot to do with how much I like Larry and Rita’s story. Now, it appears that we will get Nick, Tom, and maybe Nadine’s story in Episode 3 “Blank Page”. Tom is my favorite character in the […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 2 “Pocket Savior”

My question after Episode 1 is wondering how many episodes will be told with flashbacks. I would guess 3 or 4 more. We know that around episode 5 or 6, we will get the big boom episode. We aren’t there yet based on some obvious things for those who know the story. I wasn’t a […]
