Get busy living, or get busy dying (1 Viewer)

Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope...

Probably in my top (3)... if not #1.

Strange thing is that my favorite Stephen King "books/movies" are the ones that he was actually pretty tame with.

Shawshank
Stand By Me
The Green Mile

* ”Today we were reshooting a scene where I pick a maggot out of my oatmeal,” says costar Tim Robbins. It is August in the drought year of 1993, and after three months in the heat and gothic gloom of the old Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, cast and crew are attuned to the tiny gestures of defiance that make life inside bearable.

”The first time we shot it,” Robbins continues, ”someone from the ASPCA was on the set because we were using a bird that day. We were informed by the person that we weren’t allowed to kill the maggot on screen. So today (for the reshoot) someone made a little matchstick director’s chair with a star on it and ‘Maggot’ on the back. We put the maggot on his chair between takes.”

30 years ago this week - Shawshank Redemption was released.

A poor showing at the Box Office, but an enduring legacy.
One of the greatest sentences ever written. For me anyway.

I don't watch movies, never have really, kind of wish I did. But if there is one line that stuck with me more than any other, that's it. So true.

Andy Dufresne:
Can you get her?

Red:
It'll take a few weeks.

Andy Dufresne:
Weeks?

Red:
Well yeah, Andy. I don't have her stuffed down my pants right now, sorry to say, but relax, I'll get her.

:lol:
 
The real question is where it ranked in the top Horror movies of all time. I mean Boggs was scary and it was an adaptation from Stephen King afterall.
 
When I bought my house 7 years ago. We had a house warming party. I may have had one or two too many. I got on a ladder and wrote "Brooks Was Here" in red sharpie on the beam in my garage. It's still there.
