So, a new stephen king movie is about to be aired on television. I don't know if people hear like mr. king but I do. Anyways, this movie looks pretty good and it's on ABC tomorrow night at 8 P.M. Eastern Time if anybody wants to watch it.
Here's a link to it:

A good read, if they stick close to the book(doubtful), it would be a good movie.

Great post! I'm reading it right now...I'm on page 520.
Great book so far...and I don't care if McFiend sings like Streisand tomorrow night, my vote's for Taylor Hicks.
I'll call during commercials during Desperation.
Damn, I hate that shallow b!tch Katharine McFiend.

I don't know how anybody can like Taylor Hicks, he doesn't have a good voice, he looks like he's 40 with all that gray hair and he acts like a dumbass on stage.
Anyways back to subject, I'm taking off work early to go see Desperation.

I'll definitely be checking this out, I'm glad they put it on a night that sucks.
The last few made for tv movies that King has done were pretty good. I think I'm one of the few that liked the remake of The Shining. Storm of the Century was my favorite though, great villain in that one.

Yes Storm of the Century was great and I did like the re-make of The Shining.
Most people say they didn't like the acting as much in The re-make of the Shining as they did the original. But, I love that movie.

I don't like him either. But thanks to TIVO, I won't be missing anything. Thanks for posting that Markus or I would have missed it for sure.

I didnt think there was anything wrong with the acting in the tv version of The Shining, it just wasnt the over the top performance that Jack Nicholson gave in the movie. Hell if anything at least the tv version was true to the book. Kubrick took alot of liberties with the film version.

I watched the first 2 hours....but missed the last hour (it's on TIVO..we'll catch it tonight).
It was...odd. Now, that may change when I see the last hour, and get some more information, but....
Just based on the first 2 hours, it was very odd.

Sounds like most of the details...though the dick sucking, at least in the first 2 hours, was not present.

Yes, it was a very odd movie but it was very ood book. But, they left out so many details in the movie (probably because they had to do 2 hours of a movie and 1 hour of commercials
), that if you didn't read the book, it might have seemed like a strange movie.
The DVD comes out in July 2006.
But, here's the story of Desperation:
People in the town of desperation start digging up an old abandoned mine and they unleash an ancient evil called: "Tak." It enters human bodies as it's host and at the beginning of the movie, it's in Collie Entraigan, who is the cop dude. He arrests people that are out on the highway because the town of desperation has been destroyed.
So, then the cop leaves with the mother of the 12 year old boy, the 12 year old boy whose name is David, puts soap all over his body so he can slide out of the jail cell. Then he gets out, runs out, finds a gun and kills the dog that is Tak's Security Guard. Then, he lets out the people.
So, Tak comes back but this time is in the body of David's mother. The 2nd half drags on a bit but Johnny Marinville, the author, finally goes into the mine, and pretty much blows up the whole thing and Tak is destroyed, the end. So, that's the story.
I don't know where you guys got that he made somebody suck his dick. That was kind of out there.
