I don't know. If singing Jesus and Judas are ok - and even someone who is very anti-Christian would admit, I hope, that at least as literary characters they don't exactly belong to Singing in the Rain, - why not Roland?
Daghain: about books and musicals again - the best Shakespearean adaptation I know is West-Side Story.

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could look into your mind Jean and I could see that musical.
Roland would have understood.
I haven't actually sat through all of West-Side Story. I guess I'll have to, someday.
I DO know the worst one ever had to be the recent Love's Labor Lost - I think Nathan Lane needed the rent money. Hideous.
Hmmm. Which makes me think of a new topic.

Silence Of The Lambs was an awesome movie, I found the book to be rather bland in comparison.

for the most part, I would prefer the books to the movies...
In SK books, that has ALWAYS been true.
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
Sorry to say this but most of the SK movies are horrible.
Roland would have understood.
You look surprised Monte...
What about Shawshank?
What about Misery?
What about The Green Mile?

Well, she said most, not all.
But yes, you guys are correct, those are definitely exceptions.
Feverishparade is the exception!
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
Yesyes. I have said most and not all so don't be so surprised.Originally Posted by Daghain
The Green Mile is the bestest exception. That film.. rocks.
Roland would have understood.
I am afraid I am the only one who didn't like the Green Mile. Neither the film nor even the book. The only King movie I loved was Shawshank.

Don't be afraid dear Jean. I would be very surprised (and I don't like being surprised) if you liked any of them.
Roland would have understood.
Stand By Me? Easily the best!
Jean, I wasn't a big fan of the movie but I did enjoy it. I actually thought it was better than the book, in terms of entertainment. The book was pretty good but I'm in no hurry at all to read that a second time.
I don't know why, but this is cauisng me great amusment in my current drunken-state.Feverishparade is the exception!Gracias Señor Mordred.
Well, the Green Mile movie was definitely shorter than the book, and I am very sorry to say that it was what really made it better (a very rare case with King). I still feel kinda ashamed for the filmmakers when I remember that stardust from John's mouth... so very Disney-ish.Jean, I wasn't a big fan of the movie but I did enjoy it.

This made me think of Clint Eastwood singing in Paint your Wagons. While I love that movie, Clint should not sing.
He did try hard though didn't he?
That movie is a classic!!
Nice to see you Telynn
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Thanks, nice to see everyone too.
Yep, Paint Your Wagons is one of those must rent and show to the younger generation movies.
I think one of the best movie adaptations, was Secret Window. I was nervous when I first saw it, but surprised that it kept true to the book.
I have heared about that movie I am planning to watch it.
Roland would have understood.
