Oh, I wanna see it! I've seen almost all of the Stephen King miniseries - The Stand, The Langoliers, The Tommyknockers - but somehow I missed this one. I wonder if Flagg is in it? I think he probably is or someone who looks like him if your icons are any hints. XD
Really? Cool! (I've mostly seen the Langoliers, the Stand and this one. I should get around to watching the others)
And sadly no, Flagg's not in it. The villain's name is Andre Linoge -- he's played by Colm Feore (he played Laufey in Thor), which was pretty cool to see. And he definitely knocks the role right out of the park; the cast is great in general, but Colm Feore was definitely my favorite part of it. :) It's on Youtube if you want to check it out:
Okay thanks! But Flagg is a man of many names, if/when you read The Dark Tower books you'll find out what I mean. Though I think it's mentioned in The Stand novel, too. I haven't read it in a few years. Did you notice the tie-in to in that the one the cult worships "He who walks behind the rows" is Flagg? So creepy! XD
No problem. :) And yeah, I think I remember it from The Stand novel. Considering that Linoge's name is -- well, spoiler here -- an anagram of "Legion" and Flagg was mentioned as being one of the spirits Jesus cast out in that story (from what I remember), Linoge being Flagg is pretty likely.
That's really creepy! And I definitely need to read Children of the Corn now. (And watch it)
