    I would honestly like to know why every King book HAS to be made into a movie by some folk?? I LOVE Cell, as I LOVE Dreamcatcher and I'm afraid they'll pull a Dreamcatcher on us with it. The ending made me want to lay waste to a nation, blacken the land for thousands of years...wait...where have I heard of something like that before?

    The ending of Cell already makes me want to do that, and line 19 babies up in a row and punch them all in the mouth. So, I can't imagine that Hollywood changes could bother me much more. haha.

    Yeah a lot of folk didn't like the ending to Cell. I thought it was awesome.

    Yeah, the part at the end where the giant pink bunny rabbit hops through that window and bites the main characters head off is awfully disturbing.

    I thought the ending of Cell was great...I don't always feel the need for closure and/or sentimentality at the end of a story. The setting and happenings in Cell were all about uncertainty, I thought the ending carried on that theme.

    Same here, and the weird part is that I usually do need closure (which is why I loved HP so much) but in this case, it really fit for me.

    You're perceptive and wise. You know, because I felt the same way.

    Aha! thing is though...
    Spoiler:
    I actually thought what probably happened next was that it worked, but his son would be like a toddler mentally (what with the supposed reboot) so he'd have to start his life over in a way - plus also the dad would then be getting his wish but in the "bad fairy tale" sense where he got his little boy back and then some!

    I'll admit, I'm a sucker for closure, and thats one of the reasons I didn't like this book. That, and the fact that the Harvard guy is one of the worst villians EVER. Honestly, everytime I read about him, I pictured Dave Chappelle's homeless guy character, with those chaffed lips.

    Well, the Harvard guy wasn't a villain.


    Eli Roth is horrible. Cabin Fever had a good premise but a bad movie. Hostel...don't even get me started on those movies. Mindless, mindless movie.

    I'd rather have Uwe Boll behind Cell. Well, maybe not that far. But Eli Roth is still really bad. It's no talent hacks like him that makes me want to make good horror movies.

    He was the vessel of the collective conciousness (hive mentality) the phonies chose to relay messages to Clay and Co. It's not as if he was an individual bent on their destruction. Not like the Borg Queen whom (not too knowledgeable on star trek) whom is apart from her colony.

    If Harvard man was working on his own and had his own personality I would agree with you. The phonies were the villain, as a whole, not Harvard man.
