NFT: Stephen King fans: 11/22/63 mini-series

LawrenceTaylor56 : 2/4/2016 11:12 pm
I picked this book up when a few of you suggested it on some of those book threads. Absolutely loved it.

Fast forward two years and we have an 8 episode miniseries starting February 15. Looking forward to it, even though it's starring James Franco.

Anyone else plan on watching this?
Sorry

Forgot the link.
Hulu 11/22/63 - ( New Window )
I bought the Jailbroken

Amazon Fire Stick solely to watch this only to find out it isnt compatible with Samsung TV's made before 2013. Not sure what I will do, may just have to subscribe.

Franco is actually a good actor, he just does a lot of stupid studio comedies. But if you watch the many indie and lesser known movies he has done, his work is good. He produced this show as well as star in it.
Really enjoyed the book

I hope this does it justice.

With the fire stick, can you tell me what apps are good? I just put Kodi on it. It seems like there isn't good streaming content, or I'm just downloading the wrong apps.

Unfortunately, I cant

Because the fire stick is not compatible with my TV's so it doesn't work. Apparently only pre-2013 Samsungs are impacted, which both of mine are. Of course they dont tell anybody this despite both companies being aware of the issue.

The one I bought had kodi. I tried it on a speakerless monitor and the picture looked good, but I didnt leave it up long.

Jailbroken. Paid $65 instead of $30. Here is a video that explains how to do it.

Actually there are some better ones on youtube. I think the video I posted is a guy trying to sell downloads. You can do it free if you locate the right video.
Loved that book

it always surprised me it wasn't adapted as a movie or tv show. Excited to see how this turns out.
that book reminded me what a great writer King is

I'm not much of a King fan because I don't read Horror, but it's amazing how this guy will grab you in the first couple of pages and will not let go. I think it's on Amazon Prime as well.
Would 2 (or 3) months of Hulu been cheaper

then paying extra for a jailbroken fireTV stick?
I will check it out

Loved the Dark Tower series. I wonder if they could ever do justice to it in a mini-series.
I like Franco as well,  
barens : 2/5/2016 11:38 am : link
even his comedies. What can be off-putting sometimes, is how he wants to be known as an artist, and how he's marketing himself in so many different ways, but he's got good acting chops.

Probably, but I figured there would be more originals on Hulu and Amazon and other networks I dont get that would make the $65 I paid worth it. They also have a lot of movies on there, including movies still in theatres. Thought thise benefits outweighed just subscribing to Hulu for a few months, though now I will probably have to.
