The Feud: Stephen King by Candide [Game Over]

The Game Room
61

back in 2009 it was annouced that a new It was in production and a screenplay being written… not sure what is happening with it now though.

62

Langoliers was really bad. But it was on SyFy , so I watched it.

63

Funny…I loved both “It” and “The Langoliers.” Yeah, they were kind of cheesy (and that spider thing at the end of “It” was positively laughable) but I thought they were both fairly true to the stories and enjoyable. There was a lot of wooden acting in Langoliers, though, including (suprisingly) the guy from Quantum Leap who I thought was better than that.

One of my favorite King TV miniseries (I’m actually watching it on DVD this weekend while I do some cleaning–also watched “It” so I’m current on that one too) is “Rose Red.”

Whoo-hoo! Top 10! I missed two. Stupid Jack Nicholson.

68

Wow. I’m a huge SK fan and I got a rock. :stuck_out_tongue: Ah, well, I kind of expected it because I had a couple of very unpopular answers where I went with my own personal opinion instead of the popular vote. Fun Feud anyway! :slight_smile:

69

You and me both, Infovore. I’m a Constant Reader, dammit!

70

Me, too! Stoopit Jack Nicholson. I think I thought of Tom Hanks first because I just watched a watch-a-thon of all 3 Toy Stories…

71

Even given that there were only 34 players this time around, I’m still impressed with placing 15th, after completely borking the villain question. (Seriously. Pennywise. Ffft.) Guess the other near-conches really helped. Glad I settled on Shawshank Redemption, instead of the Shining.

72

Me too, and I had a dickens of a time with the location/town question. Duma Key? Puh-leeze!

I went with Ringwald for the actress question – everyone howled at that casting, and I figured they’d still be pissed.

73

Damn

74

Sorry, never read it !

75

I was 10th and do not like King at all. I do watch SyFy a lot though.

76

I’m such a fan that not a single answer in post 65 was unknown to me (except Jessie Burlingame?)… and I finished, what, 6th from last?

:smiley:

77

Jessie Burlingame was the protagonist in Gerald’s Game.
