Guest nellie2 Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Read the book............ it is a lot better than any old film :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 I agree with Nellie here, in the transition to the screen it loses something, the same thing happened with King's "The Green Mile" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Oh yes........... The Green Mile was a good film but million times better as a book. Did you get it in installments Mark2???It was murder waiting for the next book to come out!! :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 I scour all the charity shops for Stephen King books. I do however think that some of the films are superb. I particularly enjoyed 'Green Mile', and 'Salem's Lot'. I also enjoy James Herbert. If you enjoy vampire books, I can thoroughly recommend Anne Rice.

mark2 Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Nellie, I bought "The Stand" when it came out in paperback, raided the local library for "The Green Mile" when i found it was one of several SK books I hadn't caught. :P Can't handle instalments tho :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyhanger Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 I first got my copy of "The Stand" in the mid eighties. Absolutely gripping reading. I have re-read the book 5 times since buying it. Great stuff. ;) I did see the film or was it a TV movie in the nineties. It was good but they could not convey the terror or suspense you found in the book. :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title...R2&title=121335I've already looked there, but there is nothing to say that is the SK's The stand...I did see the film or was it a TV movie in the nineties.

Guest northamuk Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 If you have a standalone DVD player you'll have to hack it, not difficult on most of them. Or, get another DVD player for the PC, use one for Region 2 and the other for Region 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyhanger Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 powerlessIf you post the make and model of your dvd player. I will look for the hack. :rolleyes: We have 4 dvd players here, all are region free with macrovision disabled. Richer sounds always sells their players with the region free code and the macrovision codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyhanger Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 It would appear that this player can only be region free through a chip or maybe a firmware upgrade. :( http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdhacks.php?dvdpl...+&Search=Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Richer sounds used to be a bit cheeky as it happens.A mate of mine was buying one from there and narrowed his shortlist to 2 players.They looked identical and were from the same company....The only difference being that the cheaper one was R2 and the other(£10 dearer) was multi-region.He bought the dearer one and it was only when he got it home that he realised the difference...it had a scrap of paper in the box with the hack codes scribbled on,which any f00 could have downloaded from the internet :oThe machines WERE in fact identical :blink: Do they still do this??Shirl.
