This is a thread about the mini series Storm of the Century.
So, how did you like it.
And who is the mysterious man Andre Linoge remind you of?

[alinda]

One of my fav's .......Flagg

[Heather19]

This is one of my favorite King movies. I loved it.

[Mattrick]

linoge really reminded me of the the old man in Needful Things.

[Odetta]

I really liked it as well

[CPU]

I really liked this mini-series (so much in fact that I bought a DVD copy ;)). It raised some really interesting questions (imo); such as does the good of the many outweigh the good of the one (thank you Star Trek III). Would you trade a single life, not a death either, to save the lives of hundreds? Would you send your child off to live a long-life as a "Demon" in order to save other children?

Beyond those big questions I always had a few more after watching this mini-series:
Was Linoge telling the truth about killing everyone in town if they didn't give him what he wanted?
Linoge said he wasn't a God, or one of the Immortals, I wanna know more about the Immortals :lol:

All in all this is one of my favorite King mini-series.

[Storyslinger]

I'm glad that so many found this to be an enjoyable series. I ranks as my top King movie, and just the fact that Linoge reminds me so mauch of Flagg puts it in the Tower connections for me

[IWasSentWest]

Linoge def. reminded me of a mixture of Flagg and Gaunt from needful things. there all creepy, but yet likeable....i know. im wierd

[Storyslinger]

Personally, after the town folks decision, I wanted Linoge to get his way. What a bunch of pricks. But, yes. I ve always been drwn to the evil side in most of Knigs works. So I guess we're both weird

[IWasSentWest]

and theres nothin wrong with that! those townsfolk were some serious nutcases.

[Storyslinger]

you say true, I say thankya

This is a thread about the mini series Storm of the Century.
So, how did you like it.

Loved it! :harrier: Caught it every night on tv when it came out. One of the many things I have to buy.



And who is the mysterious man Andre Linoge remind you of?

I can't believe I'm the only one who thought this..Ronald McDonald of course! Damn, guys.

[Storyslinger]

Nice CK, Thats definitly you.
I can see the crazy clown angle.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Jean Luc Picard...











No just kidding... but there is someone he reminds me of that I can't put my finger on.

[CRinVA]

Not sure who, but not Flagg in my mind - perhaps someone that is sort of on the same 'team' as Flagg.

As far as the mini-series goes - it was da bomb - Awesome to say the least! By far the best TV production of any King Story.

[LadyHitchhiker]

I think the man who played Andre Linogue was on Stargates sometime but I could be remembering incorrectly

[Storyslinger]

CRinVA~My thoughts exactly, best King TV Series yet.

Lady~Try Checking Colm Feore on imdb.com

[LadyHitchhiker]

THAT's Where I know him from... La Femme Nikita a very underrated sexy smart show!!!!! *AND* City of Angels....

[Storyslinger]

Yep, he's been in quite a bit.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Funny how when he was in City of Angels he didn't give me the creeps at all but in the other numerous parts he was in he did... maybe I just can't get him out of my head as being Andre Linogue. He did THAT good of a part...

[Storyslinger]

I found it to be the beat acting he has ever done, in any movie I've seen him in

[mia/susannah]

Personally, after the town folks decision, I wanted Linoge to get his way. What a bunch of pricks. But, yes. I ve always been drwn to the evil side in most of Knigs works. So I guess we're both weird

I agree, I love the movie, Storm of the Century. Linoge reminded me of Flagg and Gaunt from needful things as well. More of Gaunt though:orely:

[Storyslinger]

Thanks for stopping in, Yeah he does seem a bit like Gaunt

[Storyslinger]

I just recently got it on DVD, and it was well worth the money. I like the commentary by SK

[Storyslinger]

Cheers to you! :thumbsup:

[Heather19]

I didn't know King did commentary on the film either. I'm going to have to pick the dvd up.

[alinda]

Damn! I have the DVD, but havent ever watched any extra's.....I'm going to look when I get home. Actually this will sound weird, but I have a copy of the
screenplay ( book) and always wanted to watch the film, while reading it....
home subtitles? :orely: I havent tried it yet tho'
