X-Men III - The Last Stand
- Thread starter MrBishop

Carrie...still haven't read-don't want to find out how bad bad the movie really is.
Apt Pupil-didn't see but that's a short story right? Harder to screw those up.
Cujo, Christine, Delores Claireborn & Pet Semetary were awful.
The only one that really came close was (Kathy Bates as the crazed fan of the writer). It at least used Stephans outline.

They actually did a fair job with that one. Shock.
Novella. It's tough to call a 120 page story a short story. I haven't seen the flick, though. I did see "Stand By Me" which was based off of "The Body", and "The Shawshank Redemption", which was based off of "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption", both of which were movies made from novellas out of the same collection as "Apt Pupil" - the collection was called "Four Seasons". Both were quite good.
The Bates one was "Misery".

How about a 30 page comic book?

– SPOILER ALERT !! – The Post-Credits scene -
Once the credits are done rolling, a strange scene opens up. We’re brought into a bright sun-lit room with life-support medical equipment buzzing away. A female docter walks in to check on a male patient… whom we don’t have a clear picture of. Suddenly the patient turns to face her and says “Doctor Moira?” (I think he said that), to which the doctor was surprised. She knew that voice (you would to) and she muttered the following word… “Charles?”.
Some people were confused by this scene: First, recall that Charles was killed by the Phoenix. Now return to the earlier part of the movie and you’ll remember that Prof. Xavier (Charles) was teaching a mutant class about “ethics” and proceeded to show a case study video of a living man without consciousness. He posed the question of whether it was ethical for mutants to transfer the consciousness of a terminally-ill person into that body. After which he was interrupted by a powerful force.
Connect both scenes together and you would have figured out that after the Phoenix pulverized Charles, he must have transferred his consciousness into that very same patient in the case study. As an added bonus, we learn that the Dr. Moira is quite important in Charles’ life, as seen in the Xmen comic book storyline.
Hope this helps everyone… and btw, someone posted the last scene on YouTube as well. It’s not the whole scene, but gives you the general idea.
