Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

It's one of Stephen King's creepiest stories that was adapted into a decent horror movie and a really good movie too. Kathy Bates is what makes the movie scary though.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Excellent film with superb performances by Kathy Bates and James Caan.

Yes, this is really me.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Well it is kind of hard not to be afraid of Kathy while she was in character. I'm just saying.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Kathy Bates is very frightening in the scenes in which she acts crazy. Totally deserved the Oscar she won for her first-rate performance.

Yes, this is really me.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

I know. She didn't even seem like campy at all. She seemed deadly serious. Magically. I have no idea how she transformed Annie into a real life Looney tune.

When Kathy yells that line
"I don't want her spirit! I want her! And you murdered her.."

The bitch ain't fucking around. He will do what she says. He will write those books for her. He is her slave now. She planned that shit from the beginning.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

The fact that Kathy Bates played it deadly serious is precisely why Annie seems like a real crazy person instead of a campy caricature of a crazy person.

Yes, this is really me.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Well not that alone. But, let's stop talking about it because there is someone here that wants to become me. I'm not helping them do that.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

If everything you say is true then you deserve everything you get for staying around.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Suck a big black nutsack.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

I flinch at the sledge hammer part, raining storm scene and the part where she turns up with a syringe and knocks him out.

Yanks can't locate their own state on the map

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

It did justice to one of Stephen King's greatest stories. 10/10.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

It wasn't a great story though. It was long and boring. The movie was far better.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

I voted "Yes", I think that it is an alright Movie.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

A very good book to movie adaptation.

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

It's Going To Be A Bumpy Night!

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

I loved it. I rewatched it recently and it has stood up over time

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Essentially a two-person tour de force with actors who can hold the screen and ramp up the tension to the breaking point between those moments when the audience is allowed to breathe.

James Caan, a forceful actor, submerges his macho image to great effect and delivers a performance of subtle intensity that perfectly balances Kathy Bates's barely controlled insanity.

A special mention of Richard Farnsworth, one of my favorite character actors, who plays the sheriff (all too briefly) before he is dispatched.

Certainly among the better King adaptations.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Yes! However, technically I feel Bates is too erratic in her performance and not in the sense that her character is erratic. She has been better.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Oh yeah? Which parts did you see her erratic acting?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

I do not really get the nuances of Wilkes insanity in her calmer moments. She was this or just then that. She was mimicking Reiner’s direction on how to play the part. It is like she was shouting out at an audience, rather than being with her characters disordered mood swings.

Her stage training at that time was how she appeared to be playing her role. Anjelica Huston was better that year in The Grifters.

cuz of where his camera angled. It's the affect of that moment in the scene. That's what made his direction brilliant. It's sort of from Paul's point of view lying in that bed injured and helpless. That's what he sort of sees but it's large screen. Annie had the same fits in the novel as well. It's accurate.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

I'm talking about her acting of the crack pot Annie Wilkes and projection of her line readings, not the camera angels. Pay attention please!

Annie had the same fits in the novel as well. It's accurate.
Mimicry is not in-depth. Don't get me wrong about Bates, as I think she is an excellent actress and its not a rotten performance by any measure, its just not as layered as later ones. She was superior in Dolores Claiborne. I could read her face and what was behind it in that one.

Reiner went for a very black humour approach with Bates's interpretation of Wilkes than the novel. She wasn't even sympathetic.

Compare her psycho to Glenn Closes' in Fatal Attraction a few years earlier and Close was spot on with her interpretation and the layers she brought to her role.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Oh now I remember you. We had the same stupid fucking argument at a different message forum about Misery and Kathy Bates performance. It was imdbV2.


I basically told you to fuck off because you wouldn't stop arguing with me. You just don't like Kathy Bates, so you will find any reason to put her down even when she gave one of the best performances in history. She's a legend because of that movie. No other project Kathy has worked on was as noticeable.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

You were a troll on there too? Heaven help us stinky sock creep!

You were that honolulu cretin!

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

I left v2. You came here. Why did you come to the forum I hang out at?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Why did you come back AFTER I started posting here?

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Very soon I will be placing you on block list again. How long have you been a member here? I've had to block you due to harassment 3 times now.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

You are the biggest harassment trannie around here and then you have the gall to tell others they are picking on you.

Why don't you just leave me on BLOCK next time? I guess you won't have anyone to pay you any attention, so be grateful for whatever you get….

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Nobody cares what you have to say. I left here to try v2 because nimda lets everyone abuse each other. I was at v2 being friendly. You guys at v2 attacked me first.

No wonder you take the side of the abusers in this. You're just like them.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?



Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Go back to v2.
Film boards is where trolls discuss movies. We discuss movies, act ignorant, and argue for days. Alliance are destroyed while others are made. People get harassed in real life including the staff here.

You're next pal.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Yes, I know you are pretty darn ignorant. That is why you are easy to harass. You leave yourself open.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Toasted cheese just made another bitch out of you

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Oh for God's sakes. He names himself based off of a grilled cheese sandwich. That alone make him insane.

You'd be no fun at a party….

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

I feel like I wouldn't want to be at the same party with you.

So now I'm blocking you again.>
If you want people to read your stupid posts, try not offending them as often.

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

If you're precious offended, then my work is done….

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Lol, my ex said I reminded him of the woman in misery and it wasn't until years later that I realised what he meant after rediscovering the movie! The cheeky cunt! The narcissism with him, I tell you..

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

You shouldn't have called him a dirty birdie….😉

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

I don't understand the reference

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

It's one of Annie Wilkes' lines.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

Oh I see. I haven't watched the movie 😅

Re: Did you like the movie MISERY?

When you mentioned rediscovering the movie, it sounded like you had seen it.

Norman! What did you put in my tea?
