15. I loved the book years ago, but just saw the film for the first time.

:bounce:

3. good book

and the movie wasn't that far off...about the biggest spoiler was...Ginelli's twist...if you know what I mean...:)

[Broken_Hero]

4. also

i think the ending of the movie, was a bit better IMO than the books...;)

[Floogeldy]

5. You have convinced me.

I haven't read that book but I am going to now. I love what Gineli does in the movie. :evilgrin:

:)

11. Ginelli was a damn

savage, rampaging beast, in the book...On the commentary of Thinner, the director knew that, through a preview screening of the movie, the crowd didn't like it...











Spoilers....





When Ginelli died...he dies in the book, and when they did a preview of the movie, the crowd was pissed that Ginelli died, so they didn't say if he died, or lived...but gave the impression, that he lived. I was pissed, beyond belief when he died in the book...;)

6. Read the book, but have not seen the movie.

What is the date that it will be showing?

[Floogeldy]

7. It is going to show again . . .

. . . next Saturday, July 15, at 3:00 a.m., HOWEVER, after watching it they cut a lot of the good parts out. I would highly recommend that rent the DVD or tape.

9. Thanks, I'll do the DVD.

I didn't realize that a film had been made from the book.

8. I tried staying awake but, alas, I couldn't

[In_The_Wind]

10. I've never seen the movie but I loved the book.

We don't get that channel in our hotel room down here in the Keys. :cry:

[Floogeldy]

14. How do you like living in a hotel?

Could be good. :)

[zonkers]

12. Was it a TV movie?

[Floogeldy]

13. No

Major motion picture that obviously did not do well.

However, for several reasons, it is still one of my faves! :)

[zonkers]

16. I watched a bit of it.... The guy getting thinner had a great panicked

energy to his performance. I'd like to see it from start to finish. Might have to IMDB it and find out a bit more. I just saw another classic on TV that I never saw before... the Hotspot directed by D. Hopper. I will watch anything with Bill Sadler in it. Powers Booth, too.
