Revisiting The 1994 Miniseries of Stephen King’s The Stand

New DVD release, , ,
This article contains spoilers for the 1994 miniseries The Stand and likely the 2020 series by extension. The Stand is considered by many, to this day, to be one of Stephen King’s three or four finest novels. It is certainly among his most beloved by longtime readers, because of its sheer size (more than 800 pages when originally published in 1978, more than 1,000 in the unexpurgated version released in 1990) and the scope and breadth of its storytelling.

Justice League: The Snyder Cut Will Be a 4-Hour Miniseries

New DVD release, , ,
Mythical. That is a word Zack Snyder and his collaborators like to use when describing Justice League and its lineup of superheroes. To be sure the character of Wonder Woman is inspired, at least in part, by ancient Greek mythology, but they all take on a mythic bent in Snyder’s mind, which he expanded upon during the DC FanDome panel for “The Snyder Cut” of Justice League.
