Title: Kingdom Hospital (Stephen King mini series) Post by: UD_Delt on March 24, 2004, 10:55:40 AM Has anyone watched any of these yet? I have the first 3 episodes on my DVR but haven't gotten around to watching them yet and with the 4th coming out tonight it's going to be a 5 hour commitment to watch them all. 5 hours is a lot of time to waste on something that sucks...
Anyone catch the first 3? Edit: Fixed the name of the show... Title: Kingdom Hospital (Stephen King mini series) Post by: Snowspinner on March 24, 2004, 11:04:56 AM That would be Kingdom Hospital, mate. Kingdom Hearts is a Square game featuring Disney characters.
I missed the first two episodes, caught the third, will be catching and reviewing the fourth tonight. Title: Kingdom Hospital (Stephen King mini series) Post by: UD_Delt on March 24, 2004, 11:08:19 AM Well I'll go ahead and DVR the one tonight then and wait to read the review to see if it will be worth 5 hours of my time.
Thanks. Title: Kingdom Hospital (Stephen King mini series) Post by: Hanzii on March 24, 2004, 11:11:23 AM I like King and it's based on a Danish show, so I'm naturally curious.
I rarely like King on the screen and American adaptations of anything are usually shite, so I'm naturally wary. Colour me ambivalent. Title: Kingdom Hospital (Stephen King mini series) Post by: Zephyr on March 24, 2004, 12:35:23 PM It seems ok so far, although fairly derivative of King's past works. I am not sure, but I don't seem to remember seeing his name listed as a writer, but only as a director. I will keep recording it for now.
Also what is the deal with King and Down Syndrome characters? It seems to be a running theme with him lately.

Kingdom Hospital appears to be a close adaption, at least visually, of the Danish show, minus the satanic bits and naked women.
Title: Kingdom Hospital (Stephen King mini series) Post by: schild on March 27, 2004, 02:31:46 PM TMAX? I don't get cinemax. But Lars Von Trier did Kingdom Hospital. I for one have it on dvd, and I can't stand the way that motherfucker films. He needs to get off his high horse, remove the fucking camera from his hand and get a goddamn motherfucking Tripod.
If TMAX stands for Trier-Max, I would say one of the seven seals should be popping open any minute now. |
