Hand of Doom.

Pet Semetary is totally better as a book than as a film. Don’t get me wrong, the movie isn’t bad, but the book’s way better :]
The film’s also missed out LOADS like Jud’s wife dying [I think], as well as some bits at the College Infirmary. I think in the book these things and others built up the tension, bulking out the characters for the watchers. With a film like Misery, I could imagine Cathy Bates as Annie Wilkes as I was reading the book [before watching the film], but I wouldn’t have thought of these actors as being the characters.
Despite being a psycho zombie baby, I still think Gage is SO cute. Plus, I think the way Louis is portrayed in this film is pretty damn good, especially near the end.

ANYWAY. I totally passed my driving test last Wednesday, happy happy happy :D
And I decided to drive into Street today, cause my sister broke the fucking butter dish AND i wanted to get some blank tapes for my car. I came back with a magazine.
The magazine was Classic Rock, and the cover is AWESOME. I took a picture on my webcam [yes I know it's terrible quality...]:

Of course, it’s much better if you buy the damn thing :D
This is a pretty good issue of Classic Rock. As the cover says, it’s mostly about the story of Metal.
