It was on TV? I read the book and would love to see the movie. If it was disappointing though, maybe I better just stay with the book, which I thought was good.

Luckily, we recorded both the Sunday & Monday night portions & will watch during better evening hours. I got through part one last night.
I never find time to sit still long enough to read a book... short stories, newspapers & magazines are adequate to fill my commuter lull periods.

I usually read when I crawl in bed at night. Reading for about an hour makes me sleepy -- but, then, if I read a horror book I have nightmares. Best to read something sweet and romantic before sleeping. So good to see you back, Beetle -- in fact, it is wonderful to have you back. Of course, your spirit is always here with us in the forums, so I did not miss you. Does that make sense?

Makes lots of sense. Just glad there wasn't too much NON-SENSE...

There is only NON-SENSE going on around here when you appear, dear Beetle. That is why we have so much fun when you are here. Are you going to the moon with Francine, Mona, and me? We have to take Sandy also to mix the cocktails. Oh! and we all wear hooded cloaks. No space suits needed.

Oh! No! Come on, Rosie, I will not run away. When I say I do not miss someone it is because they are always with me in spirit, meaning close to my heart, as good friends always are. Like you -- you are always with me in spirit because we are good friends.
You and Beetle are such active posters and so well-loved that your spirits are always here in the forums even when you are away.
So - you did not like the movie 'Bag of Bones'? Who acted in it?

Phyllis, Your leaving me behind Awww! that is what you meant. The moon trip. Of course you are going with us. It would not be the same without you. I will bring the 'Bag of Bones' book so we can take turns reading it out loud. The 'imaginary' trip is going to be leaving from Mona's Astronomy forum -- uh...space ship. "What Would You Like To Do On The Moon?"

Who played the old lady in the wheelchair? Were the actors good for the character parts?

SPOILER AT END OF THIS!!!!!!
Saw by DVR'd episodes today. Don't know if it moved slow or if it was a shorter story with too many commercials.
Was it adapted from a novel or short story? If so, is there more to the story? Who was the crazy old lady who took care of old man Devore?
By the way, the ending was still creepy, I didn't want her to go out on the lake with him. Did anything happen that my DVR cut out at the end because I thought, "oh no, this is the end for her"...?

It was a book by Stephen King. The book was really good, I thought. I did not see the movie, but would like to.

I really loved the book - think it was one of King's best in the last decade. I can't see it translating well to TV or film though at all, and I can't stand Pierce Brosnan - he's such a poor actor (and singer - what were they thinking casting him in Mamma Mia?!?) LOL

Pierce Brosnan singing? I cannot imagine that.
I agree the book was one of King's best in a long time. It seems like the casting for the movie was not very good.

It was OK. I wouldn't watch it again. There were definitely many loose ends that I would read the books for.
I don't mind Pierce at all in the role, Mamma Mia or otherwise. Maybe it was because I grew up on Remington Steele.
I find generally, when King's books are made into tv shows/movies the actors are not top of the line to begin with.
Anyway, glad I finally seen it, wouldn't watch it again.
