Kathy Bates said that they were having a hard time casting a male actor pretending to be immobile for a long time AND being outshadowed by his female counterpart. They had approached basically now all older actors : Harrison Ford, Deniro, Morgan Freeman EVERYONE and they all say no. All respect to James Caan for taking on this role.
They also had approached Al Pacino, Michael Douglas, Kevin Kline, Dustin Hoffman, Richard Dreyfuss, Gene Hackman, Robert Redford, and William Hunt (two separate times). Warren Beatty wanted to do the role, but had to pass on the offer because of post-production issues with the Dick Tracy movie. But yes, I feel that no one could have played Paul quite the way James Caan did.
The literary agent is the legendary, Lauren Bacall. She has one of the most famous lines in film history, "You know how to whistle don't you? You just put your lips together and blow..." That line was from the movie "To Have and Have Not" (1944) that she stared in with Humphrey Bogart when she was only 19. While filming they started a love affair and then later the two got married in 1945. They were married until his death in 1957. Such an iconic old Hollywood couple. Even though this is such a small cast, it is a magnificent one. Every actor and actress...amazing.
Always thought it strange she was considered one of the Hollywood glamour girls. I mean, she's very attractive nut she's light years away from Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth and the like.
The literary agent is LAUREN BACALL. She was a legendary old Hollywood actress who was in alot of Noir films in the 40's with HUMPHREY BOGART. She was also a recurring character in THE SOPRANOS
_The Hand that Rocks the Cradle_ is another great early 90s horror/thriller too (don't think I've seen anyone react to that one yet). Great video boys! 💛
The ‘hobbling’ scene in the book is actually much more graphic. In the novel, she cuts off one of his feet with an ax, and then cauterizes the wound with a blow torch.
What i love so much about kathy bates in this movie is that her switches from this absolutely sweet seaming woman to crazy and genuinely terrifying don't seem cartoonish or over the top. You actually feel like the author is in danger during the movie because Kathy's character actually seems crazy and not a caricature
This was such a great and fun reaction! This movie is an absolute classic. Buster's death still infuriates me every time. I love him and his cute little wife/deputy! 😆😭
Mr King is a master of his craft, he knows how to draw you in and make you feel like you are there when you are reading his books. I very much suggest reading Misery, you will be glad you did. Kathy Bates and James Caan were not short of amazing in this film and Kathy deserved to win the oscar for her role
Now you guys gotta watch S2 of Castle Rock. Janis Ian from Mean girls (Lizzie Caplan) plays Annie Wilkes and she does a pretty good job and it’s so fascinating watching this take of her origin story.
king said that his original idea for a ending was for annie to kill paul and bind her new misery book in his skin. i think she would have fed his carcass to her pig, but i cant remember if he said that or i imagined it.
The first time I saw this film I couldn’t sleep at all the night after watching it. It was so chilling but I couldn’t stop watching. Kathy Bates absolutely earned that Oscar and this film is just so good. Your guys reaction to Sheriff Busters death was literally the same as me. He was the last person I was expecting to die, and it broke my heart. The hobbling scene makes my stomach twist but from what I’ve heard from the book we got at least a little bit of a more tame version of that scene
I just had this thought that Annie and Paul's hostage relationship reminded me so much of Nica and Tiffany in season 2 of Chucky. Though I do wish that one day, Nica gets the upper hand on Tiffany
This may be older but there’s no movie like this…most Stephen King books (I’ve read a million of them) translate awkwardly to film but this one is perfection
You guys should watch Castle Rock season 1 and 2, it’s based on Steven Kings books, easter eggs all around, but it has its own story. Steven King loved the tv series.
I have seen many reactions to this film and it's a shame that young reactors to this movie don't recognize the legendary Lauren Bacall as Paul's literary agent.
Stephen King adaptations were one disaster after another at the box office for years until some good filmmakers started sticking closer to the text of the books (and short stories). Then came a string of epic movies: Stand by Me, Misery, Christine, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Pet Semetary, and many more.
I had Spam for the first time just three years ago and was surprised at how much I absolutely love it. MUST be sautéed but I eat it at least once a month.
They ATE those roles! Especially Kathy. I have a deep respect and admiration for actors/actresses all around the world who can play as psychos. Even more so if then can also switch to acting like innocent sweet things as well. If any of y’all have ever watched the kdrama Vincenzo you no what I’m talking about lol.
both Kathy Bates and James Caan give ALL TIME performances in this movie, Kathy especially!! she earned every inch of that oscar statue that's for sure
Any time a person is adamantly against cursing, I think it’s because they are hiding some horribly perverse inclinations, and that prejudice is all thanks to Annie Wilkes lmao
Great taste! 😃 Fun thing is, Stephen King wrote "Dolores Claiborne" with Kathy Bates in mind, hoping one day the book would become a movie starred by her. And it worked 😄
It’s crazy how the book is even sicker than the movie, read it as a teen. Great book, great metaphor for Stephen King’s addiction struggles and the possible dangers of fame and obsession .
She can do super hero and super villian equally well. She was definitely the Hollywood darling that year. So iconic for us horror geeks in so many other projects. Loving mother and evil stepmother at the flick of a switch.
Congratulations on finally getting to watch this amazing movie. 😁👍 This is the kind of movie that makes you expect more from other movies. Dolores Claiborne should be next on your list of Stephen King and Kathy Bates cinematic brilliance " Justice for Baxter!!" Lol it's Buster 😘
I've always said that if there was a mystery TV series of Buster and Virginia solving crimes in their little neck of the woods, I would absolutely watch the HELL out of that show
Buster is such a great addition to the movie. Being that the book is in Paul’s perspective; that character isn’t in the book. And when an officer comes in the book it goes…. differently😳 But I love the character in the movie!
Kathy Bates said that they were having a hard time casting a male actor pretending to be immobile for a long time AND being outshadowed by his female counterpart. They had approached basically now all older actors : Harrison Ford, Deniro, Morgan Freeman EVERYONE and they all say no. All respect to James Caan for taking on this role.
They really couldn’t handle being overshadowed by a woman 💀
no way harrison ford or morgan freeman would have pulled off that role so well lol maybe deniro
They also had approached Al Pacino, Michael Douglas, Kevin Kline, Dustin Hoffman, Richard Dreyfuss, Gene Hackman, Robert Redford, and William Hunt (two separate times). Warren Beatty wanted to do the role, but had to pass on the offer because of post-production issues with the Dick Tracy movie.
But yes, I feel that no one could have played Paul quite the way James Caan did.
26:22 she actually did win the oscar for best actress because of this performance !
And the Golden Globe I think?
Kathy Bates is gold.
I love the Sheriff and his wife in this movie they're so cute.
When I'm watching this movie, " I'm enjoying myself. Thank you!" They really are cute together

Yes yes yes...to have and have not is sooo good

@@drewe4127 She's not actually. They are not related in any way.
It’s also in Breathe On Me by Britney Spears
iconic old hollywood couple lmao he was 44 and she was 19. yuck
This is every famous persons nightmare running into a crazy fan.
The literary agent is LAUREN BACALL. She was a legendary old Hollywood actress who was in alot of Noir films in the 40's with HUMPHREY BOGART. She was also a recurring character in THE SOPRANOS
It's MOTHER F'ING Lauren Bacall.... Are We really already all THAT old, that these Legends are going to die out.... 😔
@@Malekai2000 Yes
@Malekai2000 Misery is over 20 years old and Lauren's heyday over 80 years old.
@@lavinder11 Misery is over 30 years old
She was married to Bogart. I always thought she served classy dame
_The Hand that Rocks the Cradle_ is another great early 90s horror/thriller too (don't think I've seen anyone react to that one yet). Great video boys! 💛
YES! I can't believe reactors have been sleeping on "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle." I'm dying to see some reactions to it.
Definitely!!!! I cannot believe there is not one reaction to 'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle' on here!
I always flash on Pacific Heights. Michael Keaton scares the shite out of me in that. Peace, all 💕
@@janecrow1122that's a good film too and yes, Keaton makes a great villain.
@@janecrow1122Yessssss Me Tooo!!!! 👍🏾
20:44 "I don't get yelly either!" he yelled.
Sergio"Aww she seems so sweet”!
The rest of us " yeah you say that now!"
Clutched my pearls because they didn't know Lauren Bacall and came straight to the comments lol y'all didnt disappoint 😂
The ‘hobbling’ scene in the book is actually much more graphic. In the novel, she cuts off one of his feet with an ax, and then cauterizes the wound with a blow torch.

I find some of it over the top, spinning around and blowing a kiss.
This was such a great and fun reaction! This movie is an absolute classic. Buster's death still infuriates me every time. I love him and his cute little wife/deputy! 😆😭
I remember watching this for the first time. The ending I was shouting "GET HER! GET HER!" and I never get worked up. It's such a great movie.
20:21 I am fucking CRYYYYYYIIIIIING 😂😂😂
Amazing performance from Kathy Bates. Great film....Love your reaction, you both had me stiches.
Mr King is a master of his craft, he knows how to draw you in and make you feel like you are there when you are reading his books. I very much suggest reading Misery, you will be glad you did.

Omg...that Marc Rebillet/Wolf of Wall Street intercut had me rolling!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love it .loved Cody s recation when they were fighting
I loved Buster and Virginia in this, the little bit of levity they brought helped ease some tension
I was gagged when I first saw this and saw that the Sheriff’s wife was Trey’s mom/Bunny from Sex and the City, haha. RIP Frances Sternhagen.
Frances was really good on the Closer.

Kathy bates was absolutely magnificent! I think she’s probably her generations genius. I’m so glad she won the Oscar and Golden Globe.
So happy you finally watched! This is such a classic that I can never get tired of.
I was born in 90 and saw this sometime when I was a kid and loved it. Everybody would would constantly reference this movie when I was growing up.
I just had this thought that Annie and Paul's hostage relationship reminded me so much of Nica and Tiffany in season 2 of Chucky. Though I do wish that one day, Nica gets the upper hand on Tiffany
32 year EMT here and I have nothing good to say about those compressions, other than no bones were broken in performing them.
I did compressions on one of my residents and they cracked, it was an experience ingrained in my mind forever.
This may be older but there’s no movie like this…most Stephen King books (I’ve read a million of them) translate awkwardly to film but this one is perfection
Glad you guys enjoyed it! Misery is one of my favorites ☺️❤
Oh man, the book is even MORE wild. I read it when I was like 11 and it scarred me lol
A classic fs and the acting from Kathy being its signature villain is superb. When she broke Paul’s ankles it was like oooo shit.
I am a straight guy, but seeing how cute you two are together makes me question my hetrosexualness... lol
Nice video fellas.
I love your reactions as always 🥰
I will say, that the book is different, but has the same feel as the movie.
Fun watching you guys reacting to this excellent suspense flick I watched 30 years ago.
I haven't even finished watching the video and I'm hitting the subscribe button. Y'all are hilarious!
1:03 LOL THIS WAS SO REAL
This movie, and Kathy Bates are amazing! I really enjoy watching you guys react👊😁
I'm gonna call my next pig Mixtery in honour of Baxter.
Yes!! Misery reaction!!
Here we go!
omggggg!!!!! i have never clicked so fast, favorite movie ever
Iconic 🖤 This movie horrified me as a kid!!😂🖤
7:30 Lauren Bacall is a LEGEND.
Buster not Baxter lol I really believe this is pretty much movie perfection.
37:48 periodt. All the torture makes paul a mad boy
This movie cemented Kathy Bates as my favorite actor
R.I.P James Caan. He played Paul Shelton.
Misery and the Green Mile are my favorite Stephen King books! Please react to the Green Mile too, although it's not horror, it's a tear jerker
Corrasible bond paper is a real thing, made so that the typescript can be easily erased (and corrected).
I would love to see both of your reactions to The Mist. Also by Stephen King
You should watch doctor Mike lose his shit over horrible chest compressions in his medical series reactions 😅
The books are amazing
You guys should watch Castle Rock season 1 and 2, it’s based on Steven Kings books, easter eggs all around, but it has its own story.
Steven King loved the tv series.
I love this movie
I have seen many reactions to this film and it's a shame that young reactors to this movie don't recognize the legendary Lauren Bacall as Paul's literary agent.
@20:30 I laughed so hard hahaha
classic

Ya'll should watch the show "Castle Rock" if you're Stephen King fans. Great show! Season 2 in particular!
Is the CPR bad? Did he live? :p
Read the book! 💛💛
Sorry if somebody else mentioned but now you guys should do Dolores Claiborne another Cathy Bates & Stephen King classic 90s story
I'm your number one fan!😁
when buster gets killed i keep thinking of the family guy parody lol.
I read the book. Highly recommend
classic
Could you guys please watch Tell me how I die. I want to see what you guys think of that movie. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Sheriff's name was Buster, not Baxter.
We know 😂 We must have misspoke but we did say his name correctly earlier on lol
Gonna be getting ideas.....Cody gonna hobble Sergio azz.....LOL!!
Misery Loves My Company!! ❤🤘 Sorry I Love Three Days Grace
I had Spam for the first time just three years ago and was surprised at how much I absolutely love it. MUST be sautéed but I eat it at least once a month.
Follow up for peeps not in the know-when sliced and sautéed it becomes this beautiful lovechild of ham and bacon.
Yall should definitely check out Single White Female
This is a great movie.
❤🎬
Siete giovani.
Mi fate tenerezza 🤣🤣🤣😇
Harry Potter I wish y’all would react
They ATE those roles! Especially Kathy. I have a deep respect and admiration for actors/actresses all around the world who can play as psychos. Even more so if then can also switch to acting like innocent sweet things as well. If any of y’all have ever watched the kdrama Vincenzo you no what I’m talking about lol.
The hobbling scene is worse in the book because Annie actually cuts off one of his feet instead breaking both his ankles.
I didn't know that ._.
@@StevieMcKenna10 Yeah, Stephen King is no joke
I would love to see y'all react to Carrie and to Castle Rock!
@@mercuriallady And The Stand (the 1990s one, not the lame remake). One of my favorite books and miniseries.
@@StevieMcKenna10The description is incredibly graphic. Also there is some absolutely visceral horror that really goes above & beyond.
"she seems so sweet. how lucky..." 🙊
😂
Kathy won an Oscar for this role. While onstage she told the crowd "Sorry about the ankles"....LOL
20:15 I literally laughed out loud when the split screen with Annie listing items she does for Paul 🤣🤣🤣
both Kathy Bates and James Caan give ALL TIME performances in this movie, Kathy especially!! she earned every inch of that oscar statue that's for sure
Any time a person is adamantly against cursing, I think it’s because they are hiding some horribly perverse inclinations, and that prejudice is all thanks to Annie Wilkes lmao
She won an Oscar for her performance. Amazing!!! Thanks for the wonderful movies. xo
If you haven't already, another great movie with Kathy Bates is Fried Green Tomatoes. It's a wonderful movie.
That’s one of my favourites!
20:21 was pure comedy, that timing was too good
He was so wrong for doing that haha
I'd have to say this movie and Dolores Claiborne are my two favorite all-time favorite Kathy Bates movies ❤️
I’d LOVE to see them react to Dolores Claiborne! Such an amazing movie, and the book is even better!
When Dolores lets the dad have it. 👌
Great taste! 😃 Fun thing is, Stephen King wrote "Dolores Claiborne" with Kathy Bates in mind, hoping one day the book would become a movie starred by her. And it worked 😄
It’s crazy how the book is even sicker than the movie, read it as a teen. Great book, great metaphor for Stephen King’s addiction struggles and the possible dangers of fame and obsession .
Yes. He said that Annie is cocaine.
@@gardenplots283He didn't snort the cock-a-doodie line!!!! 😂
The Horror Band Wagon, I'm your number 1 fan. ❤
But in all seriousness this movie is SO GOOD! THANK YOU FOR THE REACTION. ❤
She can do super hero and super villian equally well. She was definitely the Hollywood darling that year. So iconic for us horror geeks in so many other projects. Loving mother and evil stepmother at the flick of a switch.
This movie has only aged better and better with how entitled and parasocial people have gotten over celebrities.
You two are such a cute couple…. And sooo funny ❤
You think shooting him was not nice you should see what Happens in the book
I clicked the video so fast. Can’t wait to watch this reaction
Congratulations on finally getting to watch this amazing movie. 😁👍 This is the kind of movie that makes you expect more from other movies. Dolores Claiborne should be next on your list of Stephen King and Kathy Bates cinematic brilliance " Justice for Baxter!!" Lol it's Buster 😘

But I love the character in the movie!
If you guys thought she deserves all the awards here, try "Dolores Claiborne" cause THAT'S her most iconic role, as she said so herself.
