Nope.

Not Steinbeck

Sometimes one familiar looking character actor is all it takes.

Next:

Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat?

Frodo got it.

No sir.

Well if we must get on with it:

Yup, The Lawnmower Man, an adaptation of Stephen King's short story that carries so little resemblance to the original, King sued them just to get rid of his name from the title.

And the movie is much better than the short story, which is pretty crap.

But Stephen King also hated The Shining so...

The short story isn't anything special but King was still right to sue.  It's disingenuous of the movie studio to buy the film rights of a minor short story just to use the title and King's name in the marketing.  I know that the movie rights for a novel called "Blade Runner" were purchased just so the title could be used for the adaptation of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep " but in that scenario they weren't using the authors name to sell the picture.

The Lawnmower Man?

The Wiz

Oh we've moved way on.

If Ben wants next go that's fine with me.

The nice guys?

Blow Out?

Let the Right One In?

Yeah, I just googled "Spike Jonze EMT".

I won't have a chance to post a new entry for a bit so someone else can have my go.

The Game?

You got it.  Wasn't sure if that shot would be a stumper or a dead giveaway.

Not Prometheus or Okja.

Nothing so far.

Not that either.
