Ewan Mcgregor I thinkIs that one of the Ewans?
Yep, that's him.Ewan Mcgregor I think
Yes, it's on Amazon Prime. I gave it a try twice and gave up after 45 minutes. It just came over as a bland TV movie and I just couldn't get into it at all.Didn't King write a more faithful TV version, which is shit?
It's years since I read the Shining and though Doctor Sleep followed on well. It's a while since I read Doctor Sleep also, but I took the "Great party, isn't it?" line as a nod to the film, and the endings are quite different.At least King has the good grace to accept he has a different opinion to a lot of people on Kubrick's Shining, and gave this sequel his blessing knowing they were going to merge the Kubrick with his follow-up novel. And he has said he loves what they did.
What I'm interested in is how - his book was a follow up to The Shining book, not the film, and doesn't take into account any of the changes Kubrick made. One crucial character didn't die in the source, and he's in the sequel book. Also, the Overlook has... a different fate in the book, that's reflected in King's Doctor Sleep. The only bit that made me wonder if King was making a nod to the film was when a ghost says "Great party, isn't it?!", which I don't remember from the first book, but I could be wrong. Anyone remember?
The Banana Splits Movie trailer is here to creep you out
These aren't the Hanna-Barbera characters you remember. Mainly because they never killed anyone. That we know of.

While we sit and twiddle our thumbs waiting for a Five Nights At Freddy'smovie, Syfy's Banana Splits Movie will seemingly go some way to keeping us sated for a bit.
Gore is not the first thing you tend to think of when reminiscing about the beloved live-action Hanna-Barbera series, but Fleegle the Beagle, Bingo the Gorilla, Drooper the Lion, and Snorky the Elephant are coming back in a rather more violent capacity to dish out some bloody vengeance in The Banana Splits Movie.
Is this for real? I love the trailer. I used to watch them as a kid lol
The whole show was a collection of good stuff. I loved it!Fond Saturday morning memories! I loved the Arabian Nights cartoon featured in the show.
Tasty.I know nothing at all about this, but I'm paying attention. In production now.

Don't Look Now review – Roeg's scary movie can still make you jump
Peter Bradshaw
Fri 5 Jul 2019 11.00 BST
From its red stalker to its eerie strangers, this suspenseful classic set a template for horror – but its sexual intimacy adds a dramatic counterpoint few films can match
This week sees the restored rerelease of Nicolas Roeg’s eerie masterpiece Don’t Look Now from 1973, adapted by Allan Scott and Chris Bryant from the short story by Daphne du Maurier. It’s a film that apart from everything else popularised the classic scary-movie template: start off with a family tragedy, follow it with an apparently therapeutic retreat or escape, an illusory easing of the sadness burden, then pivot to a horror nightmare, in such a way that the grotesque denouement appears to flower as a mysteriously logical escalation of that initial heartbreak. It’s a form taken up by Lars von Trier’s Antichrist and, this week, by Ari Aster’s Midsommar.
Boar. A movie so bad its crap. Then goes down hill in the last few minutes. The most terrifying thing in the movie is the script, i expect the actors where happy to throw themselves into the jaws of the giant animatronic boar as its stood menacingly still.
