    Maybe this is an stupid question but does Disney now have total control on Fox 2018 movies? If that is the case I don't see how they will let 'Deadpool 2' open 1 week after 'Han Solo' and 2 weeks before 'Incredibles 2' which are likely to make +300M DOM 

    It will take at least a year to go through and be, hopefully, subject to DOJ regulators who can stop it, so until then fox is still its own thing

    The Shining is the best adaptation of a King novel and probably the best horror movie ever made. Unbelievable. I love alot King novels but the one that pissed him off the most crushes other adaptations, sorry Stephen.

     

    And now I notice Coolio made this point already but I already typed that and I'm too lazy to delete it and not have a point so.....+1

    No Shawshank really?

    I don't see any way that it reaches 100 million. This is going to be very front-loaded first of all. Second the hurricane is going to kill a lot of the Southern States movie business and third you have the NFL kicking off on Sunday which means 45 to 50% drops. 100 million is a tall task in my opinion.

    It's not going to be that frontloaded this won't play like regular horror it's the dead pool of horror films it will do at least 90. The southern states won't make that big a difference in terms of gross maybe 4-5 million and while the NFL does start this isn't exactly a kid friendly matinee type picture

    And they left out the bird on Mike's end.  They made Ben the city historian when it was Mike.  Mike, as you said, in the book was very well developed.  I have no idea why they made him so insignificant here.  Also, they left out the mysticism.  I mean, at the end, they just beat Pennywise with bats and chains.  That makes no sense.  In the book, they beat him with their wit, intelligence and because they are kids, they have child like minds.  Eddie uses his placebo aspirator as battery acid.  And so on.  They missed the point of all of that.  

    They kinda showed that with the cattle gun it wasn't loaded but still damaged it. They did well enough showing they could only hurt it when they were no longer afraid of it and realized it was just reflecting their fears

    He is right though, Cinema Sins is pointless.

     

    Imagine if you made a movie and the title is EVERYTHING BAD about your movie. And the first two sins are. it Says South Pacific, and the first shot of a Kong movie is the sun? Thats 3 seconds into a 18 minute video. 

     

    They don't even watch the movies thats the issue he has. They flat out say WHY DOES THIS MOVIE TAKE PLACE in the 70s and why IS THERE AN ISLAND THEY ARE JUST FINDING NOW. I would be pissed too (however you guys are blowing his statements out of the water). They get character names wrong too.

     

    First off they make it very clear how and its actually a true historical thing, oh and its also a king kong movie you fucks, you cant say finding an uncharted island is a Flaw.......

     

     

    Thats not playful fun, its straight up just annoying and as a filmmaker the issue is they come off like people who doest actually understand the process of translating/making a movie work.

     

     

    They are just jokes he adds sins for nothing it's just nitpicking for the fun of it, it's not real criticism. Complaints against come off as thin skinned and cry baby ish

    There's always connection in Stephen King films or at least the books to other films. I can definitely confirm there is one massive connection between it and another property but it does not take place until the adult story. Every time I read it I giggle.

    Could you remind me?

    Thanks for the recommendations. I was actually looking for some summer reads on the subject :D

    For Caesar Adrian Goldshworthy's book is pretty good or read Caesar own writings he's mostly fair on himself. FOr ALexander, my favorite, there is of course arrian JFC Fuller( really good), Robin Lane Fox, Theodore Dodge, NGL hammond, and Bosworth

    I actually wanted to write the same Top 3! Those 3 are the Holy Trinity of war.:lol: Gosh, I want some historical movies!

    Supposesdly there will be an HBO adaption of Kubrick's unmade Napoleon Movie, but for reading I would recommend Andrew Roberts book on Napoleon, and if you can find it David Chandler's campaign's of napoleon

    Really showed his military "brilliance" through the Russia campaign.

    An unfair point while indeed the Russia campaign was a failure that was more logistical than purely tactical. Nevertheless it was a failure hoever it does not take away from the brilliance of his Italy campaign or Austerlitz, Jena, his campaigns up to and after leipzig where he often won, except for leipzig, while being outnumbered 2-1 or even Waterloo where the battle was incredibly close at nearly impossible odds. Napoleon fought the enitirity of Europe often due to their attacks on him, while he did make mistakes he redefined warfare and defined an era of history
