Would anyone like a banger in the mouth?

And here is why Cell is going to be a crap movie. D:

"I f***ing love that book. Such a smart take on the zombie movie. I am so psyched to do it. I think you can really do almost a cross between the Dawn of the Dead remake with a 'Roland Emmerich' approach (for lack of a better reference) where you show it happening all over the world. When the pulse hits, I wanna see it hit EVERYWHERE. In restaurants, in movie theaters, at sports events, all the places that people drive you crazy when they're talking on their cell phones. I see total armageddon. People going crazy killing each other - everyone at once - all over the world. Cars smashing into each other, people getting stabbed, throats getting ripped out. The one thing I always wanted to see in zombie movies is the actual moment the plague hits, and not just in one spot, but everywhere. You usually get flashes of it happening around the world on news broadcasts, but you never actually get to experience it happening everywhere. Then as the phone crazies start to change and mutate, the story gets pared down to a story about human survival in the post-apocalyptic world ruled by phone crazies. I'm so excited, I wish the script was ready right now so I could start production. But it'll get written (or at least a draft will) while I'm doing Hostel 2, and then I can go right into it. It should feel like an ultra-violent event movie."

Said by Mister Eli "Hostel ZOMG BLOOD AND BOOBLES" Roth himself, who is slated to direct the film adaptation of Cell. While not being one of my favorite Stephen King books, I would still be interested in seeing someone good direct the shit out of that book -- you know, someone who knows what they're doing with King's stories (*cough* Frank Darabont, George A. Romero *cough*) and not just making a gore-fest for the shits and giggles of it. Did he even read the book? D:

DID YOU NOT GET THE MEMO THAT TORTURE-PORN IS SO FIVE DAYS AGO? Yet, they're making ANOTHER SAW (WHHHYYYYYYYY) and turning CELL into GORE IN YOUR FACE AND SOME CELL PHONES AND JUST STFU. (P.S. Saw should've stopped after 2.)

Anyways, Darabont and Romero are going to be doing The Long Walk and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, respectively, which are two of my favorites. So, have your fun with Cell, torture-pr0n fans. :P

I figure the next book I will start after The Dark Half will be Everything's Eventual (omg short stories) and then Desperation/The Regulators (HELLO RICHARD BACHMAN <3) -- then Blaze (HELLO BACHMAN AGAIN, I ENJOYED YOUR LONG WALK BOOK THX) and probably by that time (with the release of Lotf: Fury in there somewhere) -- it will be time for Duma Key! And then after that maybe I'll finally get to the Dark Tower series. MUAH. So yeah, continuing the King kick. D:

MAN. I want to go to Vegas to see KÀ. D: Like really bad. I've seen Quidam, O, Mystere, Dralion and La Nouba (CAN'T PICK A FAVORITE D:) but this one has the crazy moving stage. And I thought the trampoline/walking up the building shit was crazy in La Nouba but OMG THIS IS AMAZING. Kfjds asjdf -- when the stage changes into a WALL AND THEY HAVE A WAR ON IT. Then they get all floaty and omg who WANTS TO GO TO VEGAS????/

Also, KOOZÅ is coming here the Fall of next year. ewhfaehfd heeeeeeeeeee~~

EDIT: If you ever get the chance to see a CdS show, YOU MUUUUSSSSSSST. MAGIC, FO' SHO. XD

Roth sucks and torture pr0n is lame.

And Despertation/The Regulators are full of teh awesome :D

[tenel-ka.livejournal.com]

AMEN TO THAT, YO! XD

And yay! Then I'm glad it is high on my READ THIS SOON!!111 list~ hehe~ Any suggestion on which one out of the two to read first?

[enkiae.livejournal.com]

I don't think it matters...I read Desperation first, which I liked more (though Regulators is awesome).

But do read them one after the other, to catch all the inside jokes and WTFs XD

Have you read Bag of Bones?

[tenel-ka.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeeeet, I will read Desperation first then. Hehe~ And no, I haven't! I just bought it though, so it's sitting by my desk waiting patiently to be read. Is it good? :D

[enkiae.livejournal.com]

Desperation + The Regulators + Bag of Bones= my Stephen King Trinity XD

[tenel-ka.livejournal.com]

OKAY! Then this is totally next on my list since I already have it. I will start it after I finish Everything's Eventual! <3 THANK YOU SO MUCH. Heee!

I want a better version of the stand, ya know something not made for TV. Don't get me wrong the Tv Movie Series was ok...but I want something a little better.

[tenel-ka.livejournal.com]

I loved the miniseries -- but I agree that another version, like maybe a longer miniseries (like Kingdom Hospital long -- 12 hours or whatever XD) would be awesome. The kind of crap they can do with the effects and hell, even the marketing. They could do some crazy viral marketing with The Stand. :D
