That made me think of this:Back in the day the trailers were pretty campy, cheesy would probably be better description. Really though, they were only after thought they used promoting films in theater. Now the release of a trailer is an event unto itself. They put quite a bit of thought into that promotional tool today versus 40 years ago. Back in day there were only a few network television stations, versus the multitude of cable/satellite channels we see today. Then factor in the internet and the effect it has had on the way products are marketed today. My kids will be just as fired up by the release of a trailer as the movie itself. But anyhow, a year or so ago someone put together a trailer for the "Empire Strikes Back" with it having today's type of styling. Its quite good, and the original is pretty comical in its delivery, and I imagine it was not meant to be received that way.....
I love to read, The unabridged edition of The Stand is one of my favorite books of all time so it's not that number of pages is that King can just get tedious when the story falters a bit. Wizards did and it plus the time since I read it has kept me from continuingThe series does take a while to read. There are a total of 8 books now. King actually added and 8th book that falls between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of Calla.
I have only read the unabridged version of the Stand. It is still my favorite King story. FYI they are make 4 new big screen movies based on The Stand. The miniseries in the 90's wasn't too bad.I love to read, The unabridged edition of The Stand is one of my favorite books of all time so it's not that number of pages is that King can just get tedious when the story falters a bit.

Atomic Blonde is another trailer I was iffy about posting. Also worth a look.I can't post it here, but go watch the trailer for "The Hitman's Bodyguard". Watch the red band trailer, it is hilarious.
I didn't know that. I didn't care for much of the "who do we have on contract at NBC" approach to casting the mini-series other than Bill Fagerbakke at Tom Cullen, Rob Lowe as Nick and the dude that played TrashCan Man. I spent the entirety of the 80's trying to understand why they kept casting Molly Ringwald in roles where the character is supposed to be at least moderately attractive, having her as Frannie was a huge letdown. Thought they did the story justice thoughI have only read the unabridged version of the Stand. It is still my favorite King story. FYI they are make 4 new big screen movies based on The Stand.

Baby Driver for meAtomic Blonde is another trailer I was iffy about posting. Also worth a look.
That one also looked interesting to me. I'm a sucker for a quirky action film with a lot of interesting takes on things.Baby Driver for me
I love Edgar Wright's humor, Hot Fuzz is one of the better comedies of the last decade in my opinion. The title made me want to pass until I learned it was hisThat one also looked interesting to me. I'm a sucker for a quirky action film with a lot of interesting takes on things.
I'm the same on Edgar Wright. Most of Matthew Vaugn & Guy Ritchie's stuff ends up on my lists. Although I'm not sure Guy's style is going to work with the new King Arthur movie.I love Edgar Wright's humor, Hot Fuzz is one of the better comedies of the last decade in my opinion.

Wife and I still watch Hot Fuzz with regularity. Way more so than Shaun of the Dead and The World's End.I love Edgar Wright's humor, Hot Fuzz is one of the better comedies of the last decade in my opinion. The title made me want to pass until I learned it was his
Crank especially the first one cracked me up with how wild it was. Enjoyed both but don't remember the second one as well.Quirky action...so did you like the Crank movies? Those were definitely quirky. Lol
I thought you were talking about hits: "I can count on one hand the hits of King's books to movies."the Shining was awful compared to the book. The Body is Stand by Me. I will give you Carrie.
