I liked that film. I thought it was very different and almost tragic in places. Mind you I've always liked Stephen King's stuff.werty10089 said:Perhaps few of you may recognize this after so many years... <font color=red> 1408
- I've been told for years now that I'm despicable for liking what is acclaimed to be one of the worst Stephen King film-adaptations known to date. In it's defence, I can admire how it touches base with Dante's Inferno and how delusive it is in playing with the concepts of suffering and fear. On a physiological level, it's brilliant. On a level of fitting the horror genre, it's not so. I find myself respecting the former above the latter.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, I like that movie too. And for the same reasons as you said.St.Augustine6 said:I hear from pretty much everybody that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a bad movie, however, I found it to be quite good.
Two things, first, this may have a lot to do with Sean Connery, who in my opinion, can pretty much do no wrong.
The second is that I have never read the graphic novel, and perhaps those people who have get ticked off about some change or other, I don't know.
Funny, I actually liked this movie too. I also didn't hate the Postman, I thought it was an intriguing idea, though a little drawn out.antidonkey said:The one that comes to mind immediately is Waterworld. Seems like damn near everyone hated that movie but I enjoyed it. Not sure why but I did. People still give me grief over it however, I don't really care.
Hell yeah, I loved 1408! And I'm really picky about my scary movies; it has to be EXACTLY the right kind of scary or I won't like it, and 1408 hit all the right buttons.werty10089 said:Perhaps few of you may recognize this after so many years... <font color=red> 1408
