I just saw this movie based on a Stephen King novel on TV.

I really enjoyed it, the ending kinda fell flat though. I read that Kathy Bates received an Oscar for her part in the movie, and I must say she deserved it. I also noted that the guy who played Buster killed himself in 2000. This saddens me as he was very sympathetic in the movie.

So what are your thoughts on this movie if you've seen it, or the book if you've read it?

Is that the movie Moe jokes about in that one where Homer writes the Flanders Christmas carol?

I don't know.

Misery is awesome. The hobbling sequence is one of the most gruesome things I've ever seen - the way it just looks like a real injury is horrendous.

Kathy Bates was in indeed excellent in it too.

I haven't seen it in so long that I can't remember much more than the sledge hammer scene, which is enough for me to remember how much I enjoyed it.

I think it was one of the first Stephen King novels I read in English. I liked it.

It was a good book. It was also the most depressing book I've ever read. I can't fault Stephen King's writing, but I think I prefer his supernatural books. In the book, she cuts his foot off with a knife instead of just smashing it, and then instantly cauterises the wound. It was painful to read, and I've gotten through Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho.

Investigating police officers or freelance meddling would-be-saviours always die in Stephen King's works

It's like the classic Star Trek red-shirt thing.
