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 […]

The Stand (2020) – Ep. 1 “The End”

There’s no point in a long-winded intro here. Let’s just see where this takes us. One can make assumptions based on the book and the 1994 mini-series. Let’s try this out. I present “The End” Start The Stand Ep. 1 “The End” The fuck is this shit? I pay money for Paramount +. Why am […]

The Stand (2020)

I really was so excited when the remake of The Stand was announced. Unfortunately, as details rolled in, I cringed and cringed and cringed a little more. It was mostly from the casting. But then I slowly started talking myself into The Stand remake. I still feel that they were 5-10 years too late and […]

The Dark Half (1993)

I have never seen The Dark Half. It has a good enough cast. First of all, Stephen King wrote it and George Romero directed it. Do I need to delve into the cast? Timothy Hutton stars in it as Thad Beaumont. We have Amy Madigan as Liz Beaumont and I just loved her performance in […]

Apt Pupil (1998)

I saw Apt Pupil once shortly after release in video stores. I saw it only because of Stephen King. At the time, I wasn’t very familiar with much of the cast. In 2021, I can say that it’s an incredible cast on name value. It stars Ian McKellen, Brad Renfro, Joshua Jackson, Ann Dowd, Bruce […]
