It's the rare King book that doesn't include things I wish weren't there. I feel like he gets carried away with certain moral or spiritual messages or just has a penchant for the supernatural that sometimes distracts from the stronger details. Another example that was an improvement in the adaptation was the removal of the topiary animals in the shining, in my opinion.

Really? After 17years you still want spoiler alerts. I can understand for the first 6 months or so after a film is released. After that, its your responsibility to avoid spoilers. The rest of us would like to discuss the film without worrying about who didn't see it.

I've seen three movies this week that I never saw before. Two were from the 1940s, one from the '80s. And I've been a movie fan since the 1950s. Not everybody has seen every movie, much less all of them from the past six months. So yes, really. It's a matter of courtesy.

So we shouldn't talk about the plot or details of any move at all? Ever? After all, you might not have seen it?
Yes, there are many movies I haven't seen. If its recent, I agree it is a matter of courtesy to put a spoiler warning in the subject. However, there has to be a point when that is no longer needed. My line is 6 months. After that, it is the reader's responsibility to avoid being spoiled. Either avoid the board (from whatever site) or realize you may learn something from the film.
The whole world (literal or metaphorical) should not have to twist themselves in a knot to avoid saying things about a movie (or book, or stage play, or sports game or whatever)forever. -

Why are you even here in the movie discussions if you haven't seen it? You can't offer any valid discourse on something you haven't seen, so why tease yourself and come here? Why blame those who have seen it for your lack of self discipline or control to stay out of a discussion board about a movie you have yet to watch?

Correct. There is nothing wrong with giving spoilers on a film this old. By the way in The Wizard of Oz it was all a dream at the end. There's a major spoiler for you.

The immortality didn't come from John bringing him back to life (taking his problem away,"helping him"), it came from John trying to absorb the pain of Del's execution while holding mr jingles. It was such a massive amount of energy to do that some of the life force shot into the mouse too. I believe that's why jingles was literally blown from Johns hands.
