    Misery is probably one of my favourite Stephen King stories because it seems so personal and sort of relies on a very real fear/situation of mental illness, addiction, as well as the side effects of becoming someone in the public eyes.

    The reason Annie had a Sharpened Cross is because one of her Farm Animals named Bossie died, and she buried Bossie, and used the Cross as a Gravestone to mark the Grave. EDIT: This is another example of a Deus Ex Machina in the Story, because it's never mentioned before the Officer's Death. It should've been Paul's rescue, but it just so happens that Annie had a Sharpened Cross just sticking out of Bossie's grave to use as a weapon.

    CZs World videos were what I mostly watched apart from horror movies when I was weaning off morphine. Got addicted after a mugging.
    Been clean 3 years.
    Thankyou.

    I guess I missed what they decided to diagnose Annie with. It's jarring when you have the same diagnosis with a character, and how Hollywood shows your illness in the media. ANYWAY I bring this up because it's nice to see it not get made fun of by the reviewer. Usually when I get jarred like that I leave. But you were not a jerk which is super radical. I love your channel and I am going to hit that like button every time

    Never seen the movie but I read the book when I was around 16. Started it in the evening, could not put it down. Bit past dawn I finished it. Absolutely riveting novel, I ought to re-read it, I had forgotten a lot of these details.

    I think it would be cool if you did Haunting of Hill House. AND other Stephen Kings. I was really captivated to hear how Some of IT was linked in to other Stories. I would like more of those. It really helped me understand alot of the books i had read and couldnt quite put it together.

    For anyone struggling with quitting cigarettes and don’t really want to try patches/pens my mum smoked from 14 all the way to when she discovered she was pregnant with my last sibling, that’s about at least 35-40 years and she ended up reading a book that really helped her take her mind off of smoking but also had tips on ways to help cope and hobbies that can help get your mind off of it. It was 12 years ago when she stopped and she’s much healthier now and happier, and she says that the book was a big part of quitting. I don’t know the name of it but if I find out I’ll post a link.

    I watched season 3 of Showtime Affair when Brendan Fraser was a guest cast member. Protagonist Dominick West character is a writer and John Gunther/Brendan Fraser is correction officer (Dominick West is in prison because a car accident he pins on himself when his wife was the driver, it was a way to redeem himself because the death of his mother during his childhood). It was Misery like. The Dominick West character was addicted to pain killers and had hallucinations while on parole.
