So Stephanie, Ron and I were watching The Green Mile....again. It's pretty much my new favorite book if you haven't caught on. The movie is very good, too.

And they're idiots.

Ron: (during one of the many scenes where Paul is dealing with his infection) I used to have a urinary tract infection...
Stephanie: ...Oh my God...
Me: *evenly* Did a very large black man help you?
Stephanie: ... *stares at me and bursts out laughing*

Stephanie: What would you do if your name was Percy? (referring to one of the characters.)
Ron: If my name was Percy, I'd be watching Without A Paddle!
Stephanie: Oh. Too bad your name isn't Percy.

Me: *randomly* I love Dean.
Stephanie: ...Oh. Ok.
Me: You just want to grab him and...*does weird thing with arms that is meant to look affectionate*
Stephanie: *laughs and imitates arm movements* Strangle him?
Me: No, I -  ...never mind.


Stephanie: What happens to him after everything? In the book?
Me: Who, Dean?
Stephanie: ...No...Percy...not everything is about Dean.
Me: Oh, well, Dean...Percy...
Stephanie: *snicker*
Me: Shut up. Dean, he - PERCY. Damn it.

Ron: *as Del is burning to death* So if the guards like him so much why don't they let John Coffey bring him back to life?!
Me: Because it doesn't work that way...
Ron: I'm just saying! If they like him why don't they let John bring him back to life?!
*later when they show Del's charred body*
Stephanie: ...I don't think they want that coming back to life...

*when Jack is crying in the control room*
Stephanie: Jack doesn't even know what everyone is crying about!
Me: I know! He doesn't know who John is!
Stephanie: Oh God. That's annoying.
Me: He just wants to be like everybody else.

Character in the movie: "I hope he knows the imps in hell are lurking and the devil is waiting!"
Stephanie: *jokingly* He just stole a purse!

Me: *referring to Del* ...Awww! I'd hug him if he wasn't a rapist!

Ron: *mocking John* I helpeded Del's mouse Mr. Jingle. I takeded it back. Boss Percy bad. Mr. Jingle gonna be a circus mouse, boss.
Me: Oh my God. You're going to hell.

Character in Movie: "So what happens if you don't wet the sponge?"
Ron: OH MY GOD HE'S GOING TO KILL DEL BY NOT WETTING THE SPONGE.
Me: You learn fast.


Good times.

Once again, I cry like a baby.

Del's execution wasn't as bad as it was in the book. No popping out of eyes that resembled jelly that dripped down his cheeks when the bag burned away.

Thank you God.

Coffey's execution was terrible. I couldn't help it. I started crying and my mum (who I talked into watching it with me) teared up too. But she won't admit it.

And when Paul told Dean to wipe his face off before he stood up in front of the crowd that was watching the execution...ahhh! Dean! I love Dean so much. He was just sobbing the whole time. And then Jack Van Hay in the switch room was crying too. And Brutus. And ahhg. But Dean's crying was what got me. And then Coffey won't let them put the bag over his face because he's scared of the dark! AHHH.

The guy who played Percy was PHENOMENAL. So hilarious and such a jerk. He was perfect. And the scene where he goes mad and won't talk and is all eerie and creepy before he shoots Wild Bill...wow...that was great. So creepy.

Excellent adaptation. I wish they had the scenes before the executions where the prisoners pray. And the accident where Paul sees John Coffey's ghost. Basically my only complaints.

Excellent. Makes me want to read the book again.

Cheers The Green Mile! You are officially the only book that has made me bawl my eyes out!

Ahhgg. John Coffey :[

Del was still my favorite. All my favorite fictional characters die in the most morbid ways. And Del had to die halfway through the book. Of course. Couldn't run the course of the whole novel.

Mr. Stephen King, you have mesmerized me.

Onto The Gunslinger!

....!!!!

...is a genius.

Just finished Carrie and I'm already a fan. I'm going to start The Green Mile tonight, and then the first book from the Dark Tower series.

Carrie was the best book I've read in awhile. I already saw the movie, so nothing was really a surprise to me...other than the ending, which they completely butchered in the movie. But I haven't seen The Green Mile yet, so it's all new to me.

I can see where Lost gets it's inspiration from him, though. There was a character in Carrie named Henry GRAYLE. I laughed out loud. Great book.

I have four seconds done of my Chesmond video.

It's the title.

And it's a four minute song.

Adding the next 25 seconds tonight.

Which will mean I'll have nearly 1/2 of a minute done!

It's an exciting thing.
