The fact that Michael Clarke Duncan did not receive an Academy Award for such a performance is a real crime. RIP 😢
RR: " I'm ready for this reaction".... Everyone : "No, you're not"
Stephen King can write some great horror. But his dramas are out of this world 😭😭
I always think, okay, this time I won't cry, and then John says he doesn't want to be in the dark and I bawl my eyes out.
I have no religion but I can feel that when he said "On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God, and he asks me why did I kill one of his true miracles?" So much regret, grief and helpless.
I cried when I read the books, and then when I saw the movie in the theater when it first came out. One of the best adaptations of Stephen King’s writing ever put to film.
“I’m sorry for what I am” always breaks me 👍🏽💀
The death of Delaquoix remains the most haunting imagery I've ever seen in a non horror movie
It's refreshing to see a reactor who immediately recognizes David Morse. He's such an underrated supporting film actor from the 90s and to early 2000s.
