Speaking of Stephen King on a Half-Life forum, didja know that Half-Life’s plot was heavily influenced by The Mist?
The Original Name of the project was Quiver (Quiver, Arrowhead, geddit?)
Yeah, I knew that, but I had forgotten.
I will admit that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen isn’t great, but V is still one of my favorite films. It strays from the novel a fair bit, but it also comes good with some excellent casting and acting, especially from Weaving, who makes a perfect V.
.
Alan Moore is an arrogant ass for disowning any future adaptions before they are made. He can’t see the future and know that everything of his will come out crap no matter what. It is the height of foolishness to think that his work could never be done justice in movie form.
And League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a guilty pleasure. It isn’t good, but I find it to be a fun enough movie to watch on a rainy Saturday morning. 
It was a TV Movie split in to two parts. Tim Curry as Penny Wise is fucking brilliant. See it just for his performance!
The fact that it did so poorly in the box office, meaning it was hated by the general mass gives me a smug satisfaction that I was able to see it and love it as a good movie that doesn’t pander to popular beliefs of what dumb people think makes a good movie. It was beaten by Paul Blart, AND Fast & Furious…c’mon people!
…Whoah I think I’m swimming in my own smug…suddenly feel the urge to buy a prius…
I AM TRYING TO DRIVE THE RIGHTS OF THREAD, AND A TOTALITARIAN MOD DECISION STAGGERS THAT EFFORT.
Quality spoof of the shining imo.

^ This. This this this this this this this.
Though I admit, I’m not one who really throws myself into comics/graphic novels, so I can’t really compare. Read about 1/3 of VFV then got bored
Hav som riddle
looks smug cos he already worked it out in chat
I won’t spoil it for the rest of you though 
Simple math that I’m too tired to solve.
I hate those kinds of riddles 
I actually have a course compromised mainly of problems such as those and because I simply cannot solve them I end up failing it horribly. It is the third time I failed the course now and it really bugs the hell out of me.
It ain’t maths. It’s more like logic with a little bit of psychology thrown in for good measure.
answer: A
answer: Because he can see through walls.
B
Because the wall is made of mirror bricks duh!?
/me is now trading riddle hints for sexual favours. Roll up! Roll up!
Pray tell. The nitty gritty of payment will be sorted in the chat, to avoid prying eyes.
(or, its all just a ruse to get a record number of people in chat )

Is it something to do with guys assuming who might be behind them? They presumably have no idea there’s someone on the other side of the wall so D for example might assume there is a fourth man behind him and be wondering why that man doesn’t call out the answer.
Hang on… C?
He can see a single white hat, and without knowing there’s anyone on the other side of the wall all he knows is that no-one behind him can see two white hats or they’d know their own was black, so he figures his is black and calls that out? Whereas D can see one of each, and yet hears no call from behind him and so realises there isn’t anyone behind him (at least not facing the right way), because they’d know for sure. A and B both simply don’t have enough information to guess anything, and more tellingly they both have exactly the same amount of information as each other so there’s no way to pick one of them over the other.
I’m not sure because there are holes in this (it hinges on C assuming a few things), but that’s the best I can come up with.
You’re on the right track, but also on completely the wrong one. The four guys all know where the others are.
