unlabelledView post →“Misery” premieres 35 yrs ago today. “What I loved [about Caan] is that he wasn’t the obvious choice,” said director Rob Reiner. “He was Sonny Corleone .. With Jimmy, you’re always waiting for him to explode, and the fact that he can’t — that’s what makes the movie work.” @stephenking.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →Rewatching Misery and I was already thinking about how fandom obsession has evolved since the movie’s release Annie going on an extended rant about continuity in old serials is especially chilling with today’s context Her manic fury over continuity feels so believable now youtu.be/Br5umHOm3TM?...

unlabelledView post →Anyway my favorite Rob Reiner movie is “Misery,” an absolutely perfect adaptation of one of the best Stephen King novels with Kathy Bates earning her Oscar every second she’s on screen
unlabelledView post →Misery (1990) is a Christmas movie
unlabelledView post →Rob Reiner did such a great job adapting Stand By Me, legend has it that Stephen King sold the rights to Misery to Castle Rock Entertainment only on the specific condition Rob Reiner direct the film. King went on to praise Misery as even better than the book. RIP to the absolute legend.

unlabelledView post →Rob Reiner was such a real one bc his film catalogue was so diverse. He got the mums and romantics with the princess bride, the horror fans with Misery, the growing boys with Stand By Me, the dads and courtroom lovers with A Few Good Men, and comedy/musicians with Spinal Tap. The x-over is wild

unlabelledView post →idea for a movie: Misery, but with Sandal and Freya and instead of breaking his legs Freya bats him in the face and he's too lazy to move
unlabelledView post →In addition to being an incredible suspense movie MISERY is also hilarious, which I guess is unsurprising.
unlabelledView post →The movie Misery should be called Mystery. Who are these characters?
unlabelledView post →Demanding perfect characters who never make any mistakes and only make the morally correct decisions forever is deliberately hobbling yourself, and not in the Cute Movie Adaptation of Misery way - the Actual Book Misery way.

unlabelledView post →Fave Rob Reiner film: MISERY its one of the all time best thrillers Ive ever seen. just directed brilliantly. the chemistry between lead actors, the mix of humor and suspense is A+
unlabelledView post →Ok, hear me out... Kanga, but possessive. Misery (1990 film) levels of possessive. Does not release you from her pouch until you have to eat or bathe. Snuggles are mandatory. Escape attempts lead to prolonged pouch imprisonment. The long short: thirsty for aggressive Kanga doting 👀
