Gibt es etwas wie das #cannondalecujo #cannondale #cujo 24zoll auch für Erwachsene? Also in 26 Zoll oder größerer Rahmen?

***circling back***

This morning, I'm listening to the Kingslingers talk about the movie Cat's Eye. It's rather timely that they put out this episode last week since this film was directed by the same guy who directed Cujo.

Before I start the next book (title to be revealed!) there were two podcast episodes released covering books that I've already completed. So I'll circle back to those stories and then on Monday start the next big step in my Stephen King Journey!

#Cujo #StephenKing

Step rankings in my journey (based on entire experience – not just the book):

1. The Stand
2. Doctor Sleep
3. The Shining
4. Night Shift
5. ‘Salem’s Lot
6' Carrie
7. Cujo
8. Firestarter
9. The Dead Zone

#Cujo #StephenKing

In summary, I found:
🟢 The book to be merely ok.
🔴 The 1983 to be overrated by the podcasts in general. Yes it had some things to be proud of but I feel no urge to rewatch it or to recommend it to anyone else
🟢 So thankful there weren't any sequels, mini-series, or remakes. One book, one movie. How refreshing!
🔴 Lessoned learned for young mothers: If you cheat on your hardworking husbands, you'll be attacked by rabid dogs. You've been warned.

One of the things most notable about the movie Cujo is how it dropped a lot of the dog POV aspects that the book did very well.

Last week I had asked if there were any movies that did dog POV very well. In this episode, I learned about the 1980 French horror film Baxter, which was described as being about "a fascist bull terrier".

Day 594

The Kingslingers take aim at the movie about the big dog.

Not much interested uncovered in this interview (and the recording quality was quite poor) but the recounting of how the movie producers attempted to dress a Labrador in a Cujo costume and get it to jump through the window (because Saint Bernards couldn't be made to do that) was rather amusing.

Many other podcasts referenced the book "Nope, Nothing Wrong Here: The Making of Cujo".

In this episode, they interviewed the author of this book!

Day 593
=======
Just a few more episodes to go covering Cujo the movie before I get to move on to the next book.

Today, I spend some time with The Stephen King Podcast and their discussion about Cujo.

This article repeated what has been said in several podcasts:

"You lose Cujo’s heartbreaking point-of-view ('He had tried to do all the things his MAN and his WOMAN, and most of all his BOY, had asked or expected of him')"

Has there been a movie that has successfully entered into the mind of a dog (aside from cartoons?)

#Cujo #StephenKing

"Cujo’s decline into indiscriminate murderousness is slobbery and swift."

Yep.

Next is an article from the "Streamin' King" series in Decider about Cujo, the movie.

#Cujo #StephenKing

https://decider.com/2019/01/16/streamin-king-cujo/

This reviewer had given the book a poor review, yet he rated it better than the movie. He argued that had the movie focused MORE on Cujo and the captivity of Donna and Tad, it would've been a better movie.

Day 592
=======
The Stephen King Cast has a word or two to say about Cujo.

#Cujo #StephenKing

https://stephenkingcast.podbean.com/e/episode-fourteen-cujo-movie-review/

"Shame on the movie for allowing the kid to live."

That's a take I didn't expect to hear!

#Cujo #StephenKing

Oh - this is the guy who wrote the most popular book everybody's not read: "House of Leaves"!

At least, this book has sat on MY bookshelf collecting dust as it intimidates me daily from reading it.

Day 591
=======
It's The Kingcast's third episode on the subject, this time with author Mark Z. Danielewski.

While they agreed with me in having a more tempered view of Cujo the movie (it was good, not great), they had a take that I didn't expect:

It needed more fleshing out of the Camber family.

Just about everyone thought the book was too long with unnecessary subplots and POVs. The movie, to its credit, excised a lot of that out - but here they are, thinking it should have been put back in!

#Cujo #StephenKing

Both The Losers' Club and The Kingcast praised the Cujo movie. Will the streak continue with Chat Sematary's review?
