Misery (film)

I liked the movie Misery well enough.

It didn't scare/disturb me, but no horror films whether normal horror or phycological horror have scared/disturbed me yet.

My favorite character in the film was Paul Sheldon.

Also, there was one part where I actually got pretty annoyed with Annie Wilkes. I know that she is supposed to be crazy and all, but the fact that she doesn't know that fav characters in books (or films for that matter) tend to get killed off was annoying. Obviously I'm referring to when she burst into the guest room all angry because Paul had killed off Misery in Misery's Child.

Also I read the wiki's summary of the book's events, and it said that Paul had burned a fake manuscript instead of the real manuscript of the Misery book that Annie made him write. Then it said that he published the book the freaking crazy lady told him to write??????????????!!!!!!

That is actually kinda angering and I definitely prefer the movie's ending where it was the real book manuscript that he burned and the end of the film showed that his next published book was not a Misery one.

Anyways, that is all I have to say for now.

Nobody who has watched Rob Reiner's Misery will ever forgot the infamous "hobbling" scene, in which obsessive, deranged fan Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) breaks the ankles of author Paul Sheldon (James Caan) with a sledgehammer to prevent him from escaping her clutches. The controversial scene caused many actors in talks to play both Annie and Paul to exit the project, including Warren Beatty and perhaps most notably Bette Midler, who was straight-up offered the role of Annie and turned it down due to the graphically violent outcome of this scene. Upon reflecting that the part ultimately won Kathy Bates a Best Actress Oscar and made her an overnight star, Midler called herself "stupid" for turning it down. Though Midler has two Oscar nominations to her name to date, she hasn't ever managed to win one outright.
