If classic rock is your thing, do yourself a favor and rent this rockumentary. Some of rock's legends all boarded a train and proceeded through Canada in 1970. It features The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, The Flying Burrito Bros, Buddy Guy...aah, to have been a passenger. It has one of the more impressive liquor store runs, minus a curb jump, I've ever seen.

Well, apparently an Alaskan senator is pushing yet again to give the FCC regulation over cable and satellite radio. He feels they are the biggest violators of 'indecency'. He made these (paraphrased) comments before some board of broadcasters if I'm not mistaken. I'm thinking about writing Mr. Stevens a letter.

Comments on Desperation from Stephen King
Posted 23 February 2005

I ordinarily don’t comment far in advance on films based on my work, especially TV films, but in the case of Desperation I am going to make an exception because my old partner in crime, Mick Garris, has produced an extraordinary piece of work, and the ensemble cast is outstanding. Ron Perlman as Collie Entragian will haunt your dreams. You might want to consider making time in May (tentative) for this one, which is when ABC plans to run it.

One word of warning: this is TV and it’s impossible to tell in advance how much of a given piece of work will be cut. The version of Desperation I saw was graphic and very frightening. This may make the network uneasy.

Desperation Updates
Posted 3 February 2005

Desperation is now in Post-Production, but there is still no firm date set.
Director Mick Garris recently sent us some exclusive pictures from the set of Desperation, click here to check them out.

I just saw this movie yesterday. It stars Cary Elwes, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Anna Sciorra. Leigh plays a reporter who receives a tape of a stripper being kidnapped (this is after the woman has been killed). The sheriff just writes it off as a porno considering they already have her 'killer' behind bars. I'm a little confused here, but she eventually receives a tape in which the stalker has her on tape. I see why this didn't make theaters, but it has potential. The cinematography is reminiscent of Fight Club in how the camera weaves in and out of objects. As the movie progresses it sends you in a tailspin as to whom the killer actually is and a minor spoiler here...


you won't know for certain which person is the killer, if they've shown him at all.

I'm curious if there is any plans to release The Christmas Thingy to a mass market audience? I'm surprised it hasn't been yet considering it's a childrens story written by a well known author.

Has any publisher expressed interest in releasing it to a larger audience?

Has anyone else watched this series? I remember Tony mentioning it on here about a year ago. Finally rented the first season and am loving it. It's strange, quirky and mysterious characters are well written and interesting. Micahel J. Anderson heads the cast as the boss of the carnival and really shines in my opinion.

What's really interesting is how there are two separate storylines thus far (one with the carnival folk and one with Brother Joseph and his missionary work). There are threads tying them together but nothing concrete. And it doesn't feel contrived which is good to see.

Season 2 is currently airing on HBO. If you haven't seen this series you should give the first season a try. Well worth your time.

If you wanna feel a thrill, I highly recommend this movie to you.

While I'm watching movie, my adrenalin ran fast in my body. Especially, opening scene surprised me! :eek: At present suspense movies, those require cell phone. In this movie, "Cellular" was cell phone was most important stuff. Speaking of phone, I saw another thrilling suspense movie, "Phone Booth", "Murder for Dial M", "Knight Moves", "Nick of Time".....also those were good suspense movies.

Oh, btw, Kim Basinger is back! Her frightened face, I felt it real. But in this movie, Chris Evans as Ryan, he was good. What a kind guy!

I've been looking for several weeks for a hardcover, first edition of "The Tomb"
I've seen some exlib. editions going for close to $200 and first editions for around $400. Anyone have a duplicate for barter?

greetings everybody!

i have only recently discovered repairman jack for myself (4 weeks ago), but am already halfway through crisscross.

craving more i wanted to order the adversary cycle but had to find out that it is out of print with the exception of the keep (which i of course ordered).

i find this mindboggling: rj is obviously quite successful and directly connected to the adversary cycle, they advertise the adversary cycle in every rj novel's flap - but they don't reprint it?

i used the search function here on the forum but found no definitive answer: will there ever be a reprint (apart from the limited collector's edition)?

kind regards

My friend told me about this movie and how it was practicly trash caned in the theatres. This movie was classified as an action movie, but is actually an action comedy. I loved it! I wish I was good at being a movie critic, but I'm not. But here goes, This movie started out a litlle slow but had enough cool scenes to keep me in the movie through the first forty five minutes. The whole time I'm thinking, "A friend recomended this movie and searched high and low to buy it, and he's gonna make me watch it next time I'm over. So I'll set here and watch this here so I can tell him I've seen it and we can spend our time playing pool, maybe it'll get better" IT DID! If you love those old Kung Fu movies where the lips don't match the voice, and you are ready to laugh, and some great graphics with a soccer ball, then you will absolutly love this movie! I watched it on STARS last night, and my friend found it at the video store.
I loved the iron leg technique the best!
