I watched it fairly soon after I'd finished the book, so I found it really interesting to see how the filmmakers translated the story to the screen.Memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922151273874989122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029029834485250516.post-39454453816869850472009-07-22T15:32:55.182-10:002009-07-22T15:32:55.182-10:00justareadingfool & Jeanne-Geez, now I'm st...justareadingfool & Jeanne-Geez, now I'm starting to feel pressure. I'm afraid people are going to go rent <i>The Hours</i> and then come back here and go, "What were you thinking?? That was terrible!" (You know, because I'm <i>sooooo</i> influential here in the blogosphere. LOL!) Then again, I have a whole slew of Professional Movie People who felt the same as me, so...OK, go ahead and rent it. ;)Dreamybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274518106482632672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029029834485250516.post-57123218203548832572009-07-22T02:46:59.867-10:002009-07-22T02:46:59.867-10:00I thought since I'd read the book, I didn'...I thought since I'd read the book, I didn't need to see the movie--now you've changed my mind!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029029834485250516.post-77083281546494056342009-07-21T08:55:34.409-10:002009-07-21T08:55:34.409-10:00I forgot all about Stand By Me.

As for The Hours, I didn't read it or see it but might should add to my Netflix queue after this. <br /><br />As for your local theater, have to love local theaters.

As I recall the only thing that was in there that wasn't in the movie was another one of Gordy's stories, like the story he tells around the camp fire of the guy at the pie-eating contest. <br /><br />Lahni-If you do pick them up, I'd like to hear what you think of them!<br /><br />Icedream-I agree with you about King's movies being totally hit or miss. Wow, 3 times is a lot of times to read a book whose movie you liked better!<br /><br />Kristen-As I said, it's definitely a moody film, so don't pick it up if you're looking for something light and airy. Melancholy and need to cry? This might be a good one.<br /><br />Cass-Yes, I am totally excited that the theater is reopening, and they are opening it as an independent theater, so we might get some movies that I'd normally have to drive an hour to see. (The 30-minutes-away theater is not independently-minded). Oh, that would be wonderful if we walked into a Majestic-type theater! LOL. I don't think that's going to happen, but if it's nice, maybe I'll post some pics.Dreamybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274518106482632672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029029834485250516.post-78533060654233866492009-07-18T15:21:19.869-10:002009-07-18T15:21:19.869-10:00It must be so exciting to have a theater nearby ag...It must be so exciting to have a theater nearby again! I grew up in a small town where our closest theater was about 20 minutes away, too. Independent theaters are so cozy. I just wish they all looked like the one in the Majestic (that awful movie with Jim Carrey).Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02177812350470523072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029029834485250516.post-71904451633986478882009-07-18T12:29:17.042-10:002009-07-18T12:29:17.042-10:00Stand by Me is wonderful!

His are usually hit or really miss!<br />I enjoyed the movie The Hours much better than I enjoyed the book (which I had to read 3 times, once when it came out and twice for book clubs).Icedreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343443042875160203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029029834485250516.post-63158145177487226022009-07-18T11:06:01.478-10:002009-07-18T11:06:01.478-10:00I haven't seen either of those, but I have hea...I haven't seen either of those, but I have heard of them.
