i dont get it whas with all the haate?

according to the trivia on here it hurt i forget the name of the guy who wrote well co-wrote and directed the film, well it hurt his career i dunno why? it wasn't that bad of a film. the movie isn't an Ishtar for example.

nor is it a Z Grade film either. i love both the book and the film. yes they did change some things, such as Duddits being an Alien in the film and he's human in the book. if i'm repeating myself i apologize but i just don't know why people hate the film so much. weather it's by people like me who have read the book or people who haven't and have no desire to read it.

they like to say where he wrote it when he was on drugs in the hospital after he had his accident. yes he did that's true but nobody ever brings up that the wrote Cujo and a couple other novels drunk off his ass. Cujo is one book of a couple that he drank so much back than he doesn't even remember even writing yet those books are loved. this is one of his i think Underrated films and Underrated books.

the problem we have here and i'm guilty of it too, is for people who have read the book we expect it to be the book. and we hope it at least follows it and sometimes it does and it's pure utter crap. and when it doesn't and the film is still crap we complain. this film follows the book i think pretty well,

it does leave stuff out. certain stuff i can live with, Pete's Death in the book is much more gruesome than in the film. he gets infected by the byrus which is what the real name of the ripley is called.

there's 2 kinds of that the one that will give ya sh*t weasel and that one can of course kill you. than there's the other kind of bryrus that grows crap on you. in the scene in the film in the barn they show you it.

in the book Pete Gets infected with it, and you get infected with it if you cut your hand open or have an open wound. Pete Gets it and it kills him in the book but that's only cause Mr. Gray makes it worse with his powers and it cracks his skull open. the bryus hates the cold and it can't handle the cold weather.

Henry gets it at some point and so does Owen Underhill and it never gets as bad as Pete got it in a book. mainly cause nobody was making it worse. and at some point due to the cold weather it dies at some point. a side effect is Telepathy

that for awhile Henry spoke to Owen like that. and Kurtz that's what he's called in the book chases after them and he grabs Freddy, and a couple of infected one who is infected with the sh*t weasel and the other just the bryus

a big black dude i forget his name. he gets killed by Kurtz cause he got pissed at him. anyways they track Owen & Henry from Main to Mass. and they have the infected follow them through telepathy. but once Henry and Owen Pick up Duddits in Derry. they are blocked. this should have been in the film but it's not.

not even having henry and owen get infected is in the film. this is a rare time where i enjoyed both the film and the book. they didn't change so much like say a Harry Potter film where they leave out extremely important stuff. but my take on it is no matter who makes it, cause of it's story it would be a hard film to make cause it's not one of his better known novels.

and as for reviews i could care less about those. they have been plenty of times and i decide to watch a film if i like the cast or the trailer looks good. or if it's a book i've read where i'm curious how good or bad it turns out.

in short it's my own decision and not no reviewer like Roger Egbert for example.
oh and sorry about my ramblings on here i didn't mean to make to this long a read
