Oh wait, I was wrong - King likes this after all and this is probably going to be v bad, haha.
This movie is going to blow your mind. If you have any left after IT CHAPTER 2, that is. https://t.co/cUPCfwZS08— Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 13, 2019
I still think Gerald's Game is a great watch as long as you skip the last five minutes or so.

King likes or claims to like any/all adaptations of his work these days

that said I like Flanagan in general, more for how humane, well-edited and well-acted his movies are than how "scary"
― Simon H., Friday, 14 June 2019 02:46 (four years ago) link
humane unless you have acromegaly :(

Why does King think all Indian burial grounds spawn evil
― | (Latham Green), Friday, 14 June 2019 14:49 (four years ago) link
he invented that, it's his thing
― mark s, Friday, 14 June 2019 14:56 (four years ago) link
it's not the burial ground that spawns evil, it's the desecration of the burial ground iirc? tho maybe pet semetary iirc it wasn't bc it was desecrated but bc it was a burial site for cannibal victims or something?

Exactly why I love what Kubrick did with The Shining (esp. through the Room237 filter!)
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 14 June 2019 16:18 (four years ago) link
The “Indian burial ground” is not in the novel, it’s kubrick’s addition (although yeah king later used it in pet sematary)
― shhh / let peaceful like things (wins), Friday, 14 June 2019 16:22 (four years ago) link
The best example of king getting owned by filmmakers will always be that he wrote a mallet attack into the shining and Kubrick changed it to an axe to much better effect, and then years later he wrote an axe attack into misery and Reiner changed it to a mallet... to much better effect
― shhh / let peaceful like things (wins), Friday, 14 June 2019 16:27 (four years ago) link
amityville horror was one of kubrick's favourite films

TIL that poltergeist does NOT feature an IBG (technically I learned that when I watched it, but I misremembered it as having one until reading this article just now)

so I got about 1/3 of the way through this book and it was hokey and kind of dumb. holding out hope the movie is better but the book didn't impress and King's kindly magical negro stuff really grated (it's been ages since I read one of his books so it's not like that's new, but I'd forgotten about it).

One thing about the Shining is it seems like its one of those movies that is all about creepy mystery and if you tried to explain it the thing would fall apart - creepy mystery is only good when its in a quantum state

Damn. For a second, I thought Jim Carrey's acting skills had jumped a mile.
― pplains, Thursday, 11 July 2019 01:17 (four years ago) link
The only way to make that more terrifying is to deepfake Carrey's face on to Shelley Duvall too.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 11 July 2019 01:33 (four years ago) link
Please explain what a deepfake is. I love that clip, but I'm confused as to what's been done.
― clemenza, Thursday, 11 July 2019 01:38 (four years ago) link
Using AI to CGI humans, is how I understand it - instead of painstaking work to change faces frame to frame they use machine learning to do it faster and better.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 11 July 2019 01:42 (four years ago) link
That's the original movie with Jim Carrey's face wrapped around Jack Nicholson's head.

the crossed eyes at the end are pretty creepy

The Stallone Terminator 2 clip has some transitions where it's clearly still Arnie's face, I couldn't tell if it was done on purpose or a function of the angles/lighting in the bar scene.

You can now just about watch the last act with Ace Ventura as Jack Torrance:

Stuff might DIOT but these deepfakes are wild. It's one thing to add the dead guy back into Fast and Furious or the dead guy back into the new Star Wars movie. You still need some anonymous stand-in to drive the car or whatever.
What about All the Money in the World, replacing Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer? Seems a little less ethical though likely cheaper to downgrade an actor's performance to just being a stand-in. Though is that much different than, say, overdubbing Andie Macdowell's voice in Tarzan the Ape Man with Glenn Close?
The more I watch these, the more I see where they're not so accurate. It's crazy how well they fit into the lighting and shadows, but kinda lose their luster as soon as something partially hides the face, like a chopped-up piece of a door.

The Shining seems like particularly fertile ground for this dumb tech. Would like to see Halloran’s face on the Grady twins, or Ullman’s visage on the old woman in the bathroom.

lol 12 years ago I called this Kubrick's second worst movie (after Eyes Wide Shut) although after watching most of it over the weekend in a hotel room (lol) I feel a bit more generous towards it.
Which makes uh Full Metal Jacket his second worst movie, I guess? The back half of that is a slog.
