Prepare For Revival

Posted: October 30, 2014, 23:07

StephenKing.com has launched a site called Prepare For Revival. This is a social experiment intended to help readers understand just how dark Revival actually is. Here is how they describe the site:

As Revival is perhaps Stephen's darkest novel to date, some Constant Readers may wish to take some time to prepare for the experience of reading the story.

Prepare for Revival is intended for Stephen's fans to explore the dark side of the human condition in anticipation of reading the novel. Prepare for Revival invites you to explore and anonymously share your innermost thoughts on the major themes contained within the story.
Users can safely and securely post their experiences and feelings about Faith, Tragedy, Disillusion, Addiction, Curiosity, Obsession, Death and The Afterlife.

Once users have read the novel, fans can also post their thoughts on Revival, its plot, characters, events and the larger-than-life climax.

King on Horns & Hill On Good Marriage

King and his son Joe Hill comments on eachothers movies in Vulture.

What Do They Think of Each Other's Movies?
We reached out to Hill and King to find out what the father and son had to say about the other's movie.

Hill: "A Good Marriage explores a grim subject — what if the person sleeping next to you every night was a monster? — with a moral intelligence and a calm, clear-eyed authority that is rare in any form of storytelling, but especially in the movies, and especially these days. I'm a words guy, and I thought this film was full of great ones. Also I'm sick of CGI skyscrapers collapsing in a big crash of digital dust and Dolby noise. I'm bored of CGI robots beating dents into each other. All the software in the world can't give you a great story or a wrenching performance like you get in MARRIAGE from Joan Allen. To me, those unique human contributions are the first and best effect of them all ... and the one reason to still love the movies."

King: "I liked Horns for the crisp, bright cinematography, but what I loved about it is the fearless way it mixes humor and horror, creating an all new taste treat. Daniel Radcliffe's performance encompasses both the laughs and screams effortlessly. I go to the movies to be entertained. Horns was big entertainment."

No Word on Season 3 Yet!

Posted: October 3, 2014, 09:19

Still no word on a third season. The second season of Under the Dome had concluded but CBS is still keeping quiet about the future of the hit sci-fi TV drama. Fans are left wondering about what is in store for the Chester's Mill residents after the end of the season. Will they find their way out of the dome? When season 2 was announced the producers made the renewal announcements before the first season ended last year. Yet they failed to do the same this time around.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you want a third season or have you had enough of Under the Dome as a TV show? Personally I feel done with it but I also feel sorry for those of you that enjoyed it to be left like we were in the end of season 2. Leave you comments bellow or on facebook or twitter.

King on BTK's Daughter's Comments

Posted: October 1, 2014, 09:26

King comment on BTK's daughter's comments on A Good Marriage.

I don't think Mr. Rader's daughter has to worry about her father getting a big head; there's nothing glamorous about the portrayal of Bob Anderson in A GOOD MARRIAGE. He's depicted as a banal little man, and none of the murders are shown. As for making millions from the project…not going to happen. AGM is a very small, independently financed feature that is opening in less than two dozen venues. How it does as a video on demand feature film (VOD) is hard to predict, but we don't expect huge returns. The story isn't really about the killer husband at all, but about a brave and determined woman. And while I understand Ms. Rawson's distress, the BTK crimes have already been chronicled in no less than 4 feature films, and there may be more in the future. I grant there is a morbid interest in such crimes and such criminals--there have been at least a hundred films about Jack the Ripper, who claimed far fewer victims--but there's also a need to understand why they happen. That drive to understand is the basis of art, and that's what I strove for in A GOOD MARRIAGE. I maintain that the theme of both the novella and the movie--how some men are able to keep secrets from even their closest loved ones--is valid and deserves exploration.

A Second Review of A Good Marriage

Posted: September 30, 2014, 10:21
_
This time it's Dread Central who's seen the movie and they aren't that impressed.

And so begins the game of cat and mouse. Who’s who swaps and spins on its axis throughout, and that’s fun to see, but overall the film feels stale. Worse, I didn’t buy Allen and LaPaglia as a couple. That’s the lynchpin of the whole story: devotion vs. duty, love and loyalty vs. evil and ethics. It’s quite a conundrum to be sure, and while the actors themselves are good in their roles, they simply do not have chemistry.

The movie’s worth a watch, but just one.

First Review of A Good Marriage

Posted: September 30, 2014, 08:51
_
A first review of A Good Marriage has been published by JoBlo and it indicates that the movie might not be as good as we hope... Personally I didn't get a chance to watch it in advance so this time I have no inside info for you.

Sadly, King's connection is really the only thing that distinguishes the movie from your run of the mill low budget thriller. It's not an especially exciting film, even if the premise is solid.


Thanks to Ari.
