The 1982 flick is not only far superior....

according to you...so what?.

but it is far more accurate to the original story

means nothing....

for instance....2 Jack Nicholson Movies are (far) better than the books they came from....’One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest’ and ‘the Shining’

both authors near had a coronary with what was done with their 'masterpieces' but the movie going public and the critics for once agreed...2 of the best movies ever.

TCM is running "The Thing From Another World" at 8PM Eastern.

About a month ago, somebody posted a link to the BBC Radio version.

I don't remember the where, but the file name is "Who Goes There by
John Campbell.mp3" if you want to try to hunt it down.

“a better movie than the 1982 flick... “

And THAT was according to you...so what?

Then you said “the Shining’ with Nicholson was better than the book???

Wow. That just says it all.

[NucSubs]

Naw. Just pushed aside.

I hate the works and the politics of Steven King...had either one or the other been positive to me, I might feel different...

after a friend loaded me down with Steven King books I read one or two and returned them and said...'Thanks, but no thanks'....and his ultra left wing zer0bama love fest put the icing on the cake
