Imagine reversing the roles in today's socio-cultural climate, lol. A dude would never be considered as Oscar material inflicting such sadistic harm on a female in a film; even American Psycho 22 years ago won nothing.
I remember Kathy Bates saying she got shy when filming some scenes because she fancied one of the camera guys and had to act like a lunatic in front of him lmao
One of my female relatives in The Business used to say the best looking guys in Hollywood were behind the scenes. So, that's something women should think about when drooling over some actor. Ha. They never say as much about the other women. Wonder why? I also wonder if she ended up getting with that cameraman
Kathy Bates rightly gets a lot of praise for her performance here, but I think that James Caan deserves a lot of credit, too. He very ably played a man struggling in multiple ways and his reactions to what's happening are incredible. Like at the end when a well-meaning fan says the one thing guaranteed to most dredge up that horrible experience and look at his face, he's desperately trying to be polite and gracious while, at the same time, struggling not to vomit. Also, I love that at the end, most reactors relax when they see the actual waitress and not Annie, then go "augh don't say that" when she tells Paul she's his #1 fan, but you just say "kill her".
haha, when he shoves those papers into her mouth..it must have been a heck of a film to make, loved him in The Program as well, would love to see them react to some U.S. football films
That's the annoying part of Oscars. They only reward over the top performances and not realistic performances like caans.. There's been so many performances that people are like this is Oscar worthy and they were never even mentioned
@@KSDVLmom yeah, winning an oscar basically just requires a certain formula and those who win the oscars..well most of the time you'll never want to rewatch those films again, fun fact, Sandra Bullock won an Oscar and Razzie the same year something I realized today is that when the characters of a film are having the time of their life, those are the films you'll rewatch the most, the oscar-winning films..well those characters are having the worst time of their lives, haha
“She’s gonna burn the script. They should have done that for Game of Thrones season 8.” For real though! Been saying that for years since the show ended. Great reaction btw
I literally laughed out loud. So accurate. I feel like any fan could have even written a better ending. I mean, talk about the all-time worst final season. It prevented the show from literally being the greatest show in the history of television.
In the book, she used an axe - a hatchet, and stopped the bleeding with a blowtorch. The end of the book was better: Except for the top sheet to fool Annie, Paul burned a stack of blank paper. Misery's Return was his best work, so he hid it under the bed to keep it safe. After his rescue, it was published, revitalized his career as a huge bestseller, and led him to continue on with writing Misery novels. Suggestions: James Caan in Alien Nation with Mandy Patinkin, and Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes with Jessica Tandy.
She also kills officer by running over with riding mower, leaves him for 3 weeks causing him to lie in his own toilet needs, drinks pee to keep hydrated, withheld pills for days, killed family she was babysitting for, forced him to drink dirty mop water. Also threatened a film crew on her property.
Hum, I beg to differ. He didn't continue on with writing Misery novels, he actually got writer's block and spent months without writing a single word. He finally came up with an idea after randomly walking in the streets and seeing a kid carrying a skunk in a shopping cart.
the fact that kathy and james carried this movie with most scenes just being the two of them and for the audience to fully be on the edge of their seats the whole time is amazing. this movie is so good and so rewatchable. love it.
Kathy Bates won an Oscar for that role. Should see her acceptance speech; has a couple of funny moments. 😄 Another claustrophobic thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat and where the protagonist is confined inside a house is WAIT UNTIL DARK. With the lovely Audrey Hepburn. You’ll feel her helplessness, her being trapped. Through a series of events in the prologue, a doll ends up in a blind woman’s basement apartment. It is stuffed with heroin and three crooks want it. What starts as a hustle gradually evolved into a nail biting battle of wits. And there is a jump scare in the climax; makes your heart leap out of your chest like Misery.
Fun facts: 1. The hobbling scene was so heavy, that the crew only filmed one foot, while they skip the other foot (Stephen King loved this adaptation) 2. Kathy Bates has been the only actress to win an Oscar in a suspense/ Stephen King movie
Misery is essentially a two person movie. And yet it does a better job of engaging the audience than some films with a cast of dozens. It certainly didn't hurt hiring William Goldman to write the screenplay.
My favourite scene hands down every time I watch this movie is When Paul lights the match with his thumb and does not blink holding his stare on Annie while he burns the book while Annie is saying “Paul you CAN’T” and his reply saying “Why not? I learnt it from you.” Is one of the best scenes in the movie. James Caan killed this role and how he went absolutely feral in the end was absolutely amazing.
I watched this with my wife recently after she said she wanted to watch a romantic movie. She knew nothing about it and asked why it was called Misery if it was a romantic film? I said dont worry its about some author, that's just the name of his book... I think my wife has just about forgiven me 😝
@@theshadowfax239 I can already tell that you’d be a nightmare to deal with in relationships. The only thing disappointing here is your inability to take a joke
Kathy Bates deserved that Oscar. Absolutely spectacular performance. Dolores Claiborne is another great movie she's in that's also based on a Stephen King book. Kathy said Dolores is her favorite character that she's played.
Idk if you know it but his agent the older lady is Lauren Bacall, who was married to Humphrey Bogart, both Hollywood major stars of the 40s to the 50s. If you like classics they met on the set of To Have and Have Not 1944.
“I don’t trust the wallpaper either. She picked that wallpaper so therefore she’s untrustworthy!” I can’t even!!! 😂😂😂 that so funny! Love it! 😂 and spot on!
Kathy Bates and James Caan were equally amazing and had great chemistry. Rob Reiner is one of my top 20 25 Directors as well to make timeless films, laugh out loud comedy's and this was insanely terrifying.
Kathy Bates is amazing. All of her characters in American Horror Story are some excellent f the best acting I've ever seen. Everything I've seen her in has been an amazing performance.
"The hobbling" scene is famous. In the book, Annie uses an axe and chops off one foot and burns the stump with a blow torch to cauterize it. God bless Stephen King.
I love this woman! Fried Green Tomatoes is another Oscar winner she starred in. A totally different side. Just an incredible movie. In my top 15 and I'm an old bat, which means I've seen a lot of great movies. Haha
Kathy Bates is an AMAZING actress. To play Evelyn Couch in Fried Green Tomatoes and Anne Wilkes in Misery-two TOTALLY different character's; and play them with EXCELLENCE -AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Roles completely different from each other.
Don't forget Kathy Bates' performance in Dolores Claiborne. That's another character that shows her versatility as an actor. Dolores Claiborne is her favorite career performance as she told Anderson Cooper in an interview.
In the book she literally torture him as hell. She doesn't break Paul's ankles, she cuts the two feet away with an axe, forces Paul to drink his own piss, and so on. One of the best book adaptation though, Kathy Bates pulled out the character from the book and won a deserved oscar.
@@hornets06 makes him eat one of his other digits in a bowl of soup after starving him. Before he finds his own finger in the bowl, he starvingly and ravenously thinks to himself "When Annie be treatin, you best be eatin." Dont know why, but i never forgot that line.
@@slchance8839 that's odd, I know the book almost by memory, and I definitely don't remember that part about him having to eat his own finger in a bowl of soup.
@@saimon1969 technically, it was his thumb, not his finger. In my book, on page 225 Paul says he raised the one hand "with the thumb still on it". This is the **second** reference to Annie cutting off one thumb. The original reference is somewhere 13-18 pages prior, but i'm having trouble scouring all the words. Steven King makes a few other references throughout the book in moments about how he has trouble operating the manual typewriter, with the missing thumb, etc... I think i was in changing the ribbon, which needed two hands and two thumbs to hold open the top and simultaneously release the spool.
She knew about the knife and the penguin right away. She just didn't say anything. Also, she didn't know the wine was drugged. She spilled it accidentally. Regards from 🇺🇸 🤘😎
"if this actor didn't get an Oscar for that performance, stop watching this shit!", quote by Ash. Oh well, Kathy Bates got her Academy Award for best female actress, this time 😉
This is one of my favorites from Stephen King and the casting was fantastic. Kathy was so convincing as Annie, but it takes tremendous talent for Caan to be bed-ridden and still give such a performance. I was waiting the whole time to see y'all's reactions to the hobbling. Haha And Ash is spot-on with the research. For my writing, I've gone down some serious rabbit holes that have likely put me on some watchlists. As always, loved the reaction!
Paul is such a smart man, he thinks of everything, he taste the painkiller beforehand to make sure it has no taste and he practiced lifting up the typewriter, last thing you want to happen in the middle of a fight is to find out you cannot lift the 'weapon' and get killed or beaten up and have no backup plan. He is also very good at remaining calm and just keeping Annie focused on the novel everytime she flips out.
Kathy Bates is amazing. I think she is even better in Dolores Claiborne, which is another Stephen King movie. Kathy said in a interview that Dolores Claiborne is the movie she is most proud of. It is great!
You guys have got to watch One Flew Over Thé Cuckoo's Nest. You are gonna love it. It was written (and filmed) here in Oregon. It's fictional but it's about the Oregon state mental hospital in the 1970s. So so so good. Jack Nicholson is the main character.
“Someone should have done that to Game of Thrones Season 8” 😂 I was wondering whether Ash had warned Hannah what that show has in store towards the end.
I think Green Room (2015) would probably be Hannah's favorite thriller, mainly because 1) There's things for her to figure out, and 2) Most every action is believable.
i’ve read the book many times and it gives me so much anxiety and they did really good casting bc that’s exactly how i visioned paul sheldon and annie wilkes. very great book very good movie and an amazing reaction
In case you guys didn't know James Caan passed away on July 7, 2022. James caan best acting performance is in THE GODFATHER (1972) as Sonny Corleone. I recomend you to watch , its a masterpiece and a classic and The Greatest Movie Of All Time.
One of my personal favs! Directed by Rob Reiner who also made The Princess Bride. Awesome reaction. Btw, I don't feel Hannah has trust issues lol. The truth is women are able to understand and see right through other women in a way most men generally can't. I think your girlfriend has a gift for discernment and can judge a person's character rather well (based on what I've seen here and other reaction videos). It's also really cute to see how comfortable and free you both are with each other. P.S. If Hannah can tolerate your beard smell, she's DEFINITELY the one, mate. Haha ;)
Fun fact, William Goldman who wrote the Princess Bride (book and film script) also wrote the script adaptation for misery! Weird there are so many connections but such different films
I love this girl. She's super cool, so feminine and sweet with her emotions yet so strong and smart. Thanks guys for the fun reaction! Your both great!
This was the first rated R movie I saw in theatre, my dad took me to see it when I was around 9 or 10. NO F’N IDEA WHY lol, but I’ll always remember this movie for that. Oh and the block of wood/sledgehammer & ankle scene; crazy even for adults, imagine it for a 9 year old kid
“His tibia and fibia are going to be all over the place!” OMG! I just discovered this channel today and I love ya’ll! New subscriber and follower here!❤
Glad you guys reacted to this. Whether or not it won a poll isn't really important. It's a fantastic movie regardless. If all of King's movies were adapted correctly, the guy would have as many hit movies as he does books. Crazy how the source material is right there, but are studio execs that think they can do it better somehow, and then turn around and fuck up a guaranteed success. Like Ron White said, "you can't fix stupid."
Love this movie so much ❤️ Watched it so many times as a kid with my cousin. We were like 8 years old the first time we watched it. Still remember that summer we watched this and some of the best horror movies at my aunties. Misery, The Shining, The Exorcist, IT, Silver Bullet, Poltergeist, Amityville Horror, Hellraiser, The Thing and some 90s horror movies i can't remember the names of lol
I'm not that fond of the films based on Steven King's books, but this, Carrie and The Shining are definite classics. Great reactions from both of you! Keep up the good work!
I said this before, but the energy you guys have is infectious and an absolute joy to watch. You make me love watching my favorite movies all over again.
When they where checking what type of film this is at the end I remember my college film professor telling me this was a suspense film or suspense thriller. He told us many film mentors use this film to teach film students how to capture suspense in film-making. 😊 we had to watch and do reaction paper on this… I couldn’t watch the hobbling part hahaha.
Thanks for doing the live chat premieres on these...super fun watching these in real time with the rest of your community. Good stuff. Another killer reaction. 👍❤
"He's walking like a penguin." That's probably the funniest thing I've heard someone say in response to the hobbling scene, and I decide to subscribe because of that!
It's about time you two watched this. Will No Neck Hannah make an appearance? Ash, lovely looking hair. "I don't trust the wallpaper either!" That comment from Hannah had me rolling! I never thought about a penguin reference to Paul's ankles. "Walking like a penguin" - nice one Ash.
I have to say.. . You 2 are my favorite reactors, you are amazing, funny and work so well together. Hope you stay together forever, you compliment each other so well. Love you guys. ❤❤
Kathy Bates won an Oscar for her performance in this movie. She's incredible.
Yep. And for context, she beat Julia Roberts for her iconic role in Pretty Woman and even beat Meryl THEE Streep.
Back when the Oscars took horror movies seriously now and then. Yes, I'm still salty about Toni Collette.
Imagine reversing the roles in today's socio-cultural climate, lol. A dude would never be considered as Oscar material inflicting such sadistic harm on a female in a film; even American Psycho 22 years ago won nothing.
she's always incredible
@@Wraiven22 you consider this a horror movie?
When she accepted her Oscar she told the audience "Sorry about the ankles." Lmao
I love how Hanna is clearly seeing Red Flags and Ash is just like
🙂
It's the Farrah hairstyle. It gives you powers
Women know women.
I've noticed in multiple videos that Hannah has excellent insight into human nature and the direction a story might take.
Hannah*
I remember Kathy Bates saying she got shy when filming some scenes because she fancied one of the camera guys and had to act like a lunatic in front of him lmao
I can see that. She had to be a real boner-killer in this one.
Yes!!! It was the camera man! She would get thrown off character because he was handsome!!
One of my female relatives in The Business used to say the best looking guys in Hollywood were behind the scenes. So, that's something women should think about when drooling over some actor. Ha.
They never say as much about the other women. Wonder why?
I also wonder if she ended up getting with that cameraman
@@LA_HA no she didn’t. Kathy was already in a relationship. She married Tony her boyfriend of 12 years shortly after she won the Oscar for Misery.
@@Zenobiadream Oh, okay. So, it was just a tiny crush then
I am so pleased that Ash knows not only who James Caan is, but that he's a boss actor. So few of his age would be aware. This was fun.
As a british man, i always confused James caan with the dragons den entrepreneur who had the same name
He was perfect for this role. Just as she was for her.
Perhaps this could be a lesson on assuming based on something as silly as age...
He's a fan of The Godfather, so yeah, he knows who James Caan is. 😉

Agree with you about James Caan. Great actor. He died last year though, aged 82.
"She picked that wallpaper so therefore she is untrustworthy" hahaha. True tho.
"He hasn't got legs now, he's got fin's" had me 💀💀💀
“She’s gonna burn the script. They should have done that for Game of Thrones season 8.” For real though! Been saying that for years since the show ended. Great reaction btw
Feel like that show was never going to have a satisfying ending. Even the author can't figure out what to do with it.
Wow such an original though haha
That line was hilarious and true i love it
I literally laughed out loud. So accurate. I feel like any fan could have even written a better ending. I mean, talk about the all-time worst final season. It prevented the show from literally being the greatest show in the history of television.
I'm with you on GoT. Season 8 sucked! I was sooo disappointed.

It's also really cute to see how comfortable and free you both are with each other. P.S. If Hannah can tolerate your beard smell, she's DEFINITELY the one, mate. Haha ;)
Fun fact, William Goldman who wrote the Princess Bride (book and film script) also wrote the script adaptation for misery! Weird there are so many connections but such different films
This was fantastic Ash and Hannah, Kathy Bates was phenomenal in this role and terrifying. Simply marvellous, keep up the good work you two.
I love this girl. She's super cool, so feminine and sweet with her emotions yet so strong and smart. Thanks guys for the fun reaction! Your both great!
This was the first rated R movie I saw in theatre, my dad took me to see it when I was around 9 or 10. NO F’N IDEA WHY lol, but I’ll always remember this movie for that. Oh and the block of wood/sledgehammer & ankle scene; crazy even for adults, imagine it for a 9 year old kid
"It's gonna end, how it started."
"Throwing a snowball?"
😂🤣🤫
“His tibia and fibia are going to be all over the place!” OMG! I just discovered this channel today and I love ya’ll! New subscriber and follower here!❤
I literally just re read this book yesterday. The movie is fantastic but man that book. It’s truly haunting
Glad you guys reacted to this. Whether or not it won a poll isn't really important. It's a fantastic movie regardless. If all of King's movies were adapted correctly, the guy would have as many hit movies as he does books. Crazy how the source material is right there, but are studio execs that think they can do it better somehow, and then turn around and fuck up a guaranteed success. Like Ron White said, "you can't fix stupid."
As opposed to the entirely unchanged adaptation of Misery?
Stephen King saw Kathy Bates in this and wrote Delores Claiborne specific for her. Another great movie for your list.
Woah never knew that. Makes sense looking back.
Love this movie so much ❤️ Watched it so many times as a kid with my cousin. We were like 8 years old the first time we watched it. Still remember that summer we watched this and some of the best horror movies at my aunties. Misery, The Shining, The Exorcist, IT, Silver Bullet, Poltergeist, Amityville Horror, Hellraiser, The Thing and some 90s horror movies i can't remember the names of lol
Fried Green Tomatoes next! She’s awesome in that one as well.
Love that movie. Needs more reactions for sure.
Yes! Such a great movie
Glad you liked this one
Kathy Bates has had and still has such an amazing career. This movie is a crown on her head for sure!
Appreciate your reactions as always. This one is intense. And glade you experienced this film. So great.
i just wanna say Hannah's hairstyles are just **chef's kisses** 👩🍳💋🤌
Hannah's hair on point 🔥🔥
You guys are the first reactors I have seen watch this, that has known before hand what she was going to do before she actually did anything. Kudos
Who deserves the Oscar - James Caan, Kathy Bates, or Hannah's hair?
29:41 That scene that had me laughing out loud. Especially when he's telling her to eat it as he's doing it lol.
KATHY BATES!!!! Now watch her in “The Waterboy” she’s incredible
So many symbolisms!
all I can hear in my head now is "he's walking like a penguin! he's walking like a penguin!" in Ash's voice...... dayum!! Epic reaction you two!
I'm not that fond of the films based on Steven King's books, but this, Carrie and The Shining are definite classics. Great reactions from both of you! Keep up the good work!
I said this before, but the energy you guys have is infectious and an absolute joy to watch. You make me love watching my favorite movies all over again.
I’ve gotten into the habit of throwing the thumbs up as soon as the vid loads….love you guys!
Favorite movie top 10. Thank you for watching.
Don’t know if anybody else already recommended this, but I think you’d both enjoy Fatal Attraction from 1987
Recently watched this film, it's sick. Loving the reactions lately guys! I've been binging, always cheer me up considering I'm not too happy lately.
So glad you guys did this reaction...I love this film so much. Thank you.
my man learned the term symbolism in middle school english and never forgot it. he never learned anything else, but he remembered that
Oh yes!! This movie is damn scary. Can’t wait to see your reactions! Kathy Bates rules.
My mom introduced me to a lot of these movies. It's thanks to her I enjoy psychological stuff. Thanks mom!
I love y'all, and Hannah you're beautiful and emotionally intelligent, which is rare 💖💖❤️💕
When they where checking what type of film this is at the end I remember my college film professor telling me this was a suspense film or suspense thriller. He told us many film mentors use this film to teach film students how to capture suspense in film-making. 😊 we had to watch and do reaction paper on this… I couldn’t watch the hobbling part hahaha.
2 minutes in and I already know way more about Ash’s beard than I ever wanted to know!!! 😂
Thanks for doing the live chat premieres on these...super fun watching these in real time with the rest of your community. Good stuff. Another killer reaction. 👍❤
So glad I found your channel. Love you guys, watching with you guys is always a blast ; ) keep up the classics, please 🙏
I have been waiting for you guys to watch this classic :) knew you would love it.
"He's walking like a penguin."
That's probably the funniest thing I've heard someone say in response to the hobbling scene, and I decide to subscribe because of that!
It's about time you two watched this. Will No Neck Hannah make an appearance? Ash, lovely looking hair.
"I don't trust the wallpaper either!" That comment from Hannah had me rolling!
I never thought about a penguin reference to Paul's ankles. "Walking like a penguin" - nice one Ash.
I have to say.. . You 2 are my favorite reactors, you are amazing, funny and work so well together. Hope you stay together forever, you compliment each other so well. Love you guys. ❤❤
The hobbling was much worse in the book.Great reaction.
Best reaction I’ve seen to this movie 👍👍👍👍
