Maximum Overdrive..

[matt8568]

This film should be preserved in time capsules. A truly great piece of American cinema accompanied by the greatest soundtrack in history.

What say you Paddock?

New board. Who dis?

New board. Who dis?

He's Matt8568 and he loves Maximum Overdrive.

 

[funKYcat75]

Oh. You mean Matt with the sweet Mitsubishi Galant. He's a legend.

This topic is funny cause Maximum Overdrive isn't a very good movie at all. In fact, I would say it's a terrible movie! I think the OP is being sarcastic.

wait....did Bachman and Turner quit, so the band was renamed?

MO is a great movie and delivers exactly what it intends to deliver.

Sound track by AC/DC good
Movie itself was fair.

Nothing special enough for a time capsule.
One of many lesser Steven King tales, not bad just not supper good.

A fancier version of "Kill Dozer" or whatever that movie was called about that possessed bulldozer

Who made who?

The syntax always gives it away. Who else begs for posts?

 

[DaBossIsBack]

This movie was always on tbs or TNT during the 90s. It's total garbage. But fun garbage.

The book was way better.

Mitsubishi Galant

My first car. Classic automobile imo.

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

The book was way better.

Which was always the case when it comes to King. The Shining was the only movie that really delivered. The rest were somehow garbage compared to the books.

This is the case 99% of the time with any book.

hmn, this calls for a song:

 

[DSmith21]

Is Matt8568 the same poster who wanted crowd funding to get his wife pregnant?

Of course, the extra details in the book were good, but the movie's ending was better.

 

[UKserialkiller]

I loved that Stephen King movie where Jack Tripper and Judge Harry Stone fought an evil clown.

The Shining didn't really follow the book that literally at all. One of the reasons why it did so well. The made-for-tv remake was more true to the book. Okay version at best.

Very true. Just seems especially so with his work for whatever reason.

Shawshank says hello.

Good catch. I was thinking about his horror writing, but totally forgot about him writing that one.

Of course, the extra details in the book were good, but the movie's ending was better.

Agreed.

I read 1000 pages of the Stand. Then quit. Only book Ive ever done that with. It was garbage. I know people love King, but think its crap.

That's why I don't invest my time reading anything over 32 pages.

"It" was the garbage book for me. Never forgave him for that tripe.

 

[DSmith21]

I loved that Stephen King movie where Jack Tripper and Judge Harry Stone fought an evil clown.

"It" also starred Venus Flytrap (WKRP), John Boy Walton and Dr. Frank N Furter (Rocky Horror) in addition to those already mentioned. Interesting casting to say the least.

The Stand is a good story IMO but would agree it's too long.

Dark Tower is also good and could be a great HBO / Netflix series if done correctly.

Yeah, but they were B-List 80s stars (Except Curry). Judge Harry stone and Jack Tripper were ballers back then.

and I hated that bearded ginger friend in It too. reminded me of some jagoff from "30 something"

I used to read a lot of King but then I got started reading this guy named Richard Bachman, I think it was. Anyway, much better style, not as wordy.

 

[BlueRaider22]

The Green Mile
Stand By Me
Carrie
Misery

I also think that Needful Things was decent/fair.

My favorite writer when taking a long walk during different seasons. If only everyone was such an apt pupil and appreciated the body of his work.

 

[RacerX.ksr]

If only...

 

[dezyDeco]

Thinner

Yeah, not as well-known, but a good one... and the movie was a faithful adaptation, IIRC.

 

[RacerX.ksr]

Thinner

Thinner was a Bachman book that King stole.

 

[LordEgg_rivals16573]

loved it...when i was 12
