The Stand Is Stephen King’s Best Miniseries Adaptation

As a big Stephen King fan, I remember being completely hooked by The Stand. It’s his longest book, over 1,100 pages, and tells this epic story of a battle between good and evil after a devastating plague wipes out almost everyone on Earth. The TV miniseries was really well-done – it even won Emmys for makeup and sound! While critics and viewers generally liked it – it has around a 67% and 72% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, respectively – it was always clear that squeezing such a massive story into just four episodes was a huge challenge. But honestly, even after 32 years, no other Stephen King miniseries has ever impressed me quite as much as The Stand did.

Planet of the Apes’ Biggest Twist Might Get a Remake

The original Planet of the Apes was so popular that it led to four sequels, though none of them matched its success.

The franchise continues today, and upcoming Planet of the Apes films may revisit the iconic twist ending of the 1968 original and tell that story again.

He assured us the war would be over in four weeks, but here we are, still waiting for the curtain call. Oh, and let’s not forget his claim that Iran was begging for a deal-a notion as plausible as a teetotaler at the Savoy. Iran, of course, denied it with all the grace of a society matron refusing a second helping of trifle.
