This is the best review of Misery ever! I cracked up reading the part when you wrote “Fuuuuuuuuuuck” because that’s exactly what I think every single time I watch that part in the movie, where it’s written all over Paul’s face. My favorite part of the movie is when he doesn’t fix the damn penguin! Anxiety inducing!

Oh, and of course I completely missed thanking you for this stellar, recap, and exploration of this absolutely bat shit crazy horror movie. Richard Farnsworth forever.💖

I absolutely love this movie. I saw it in the theatre and I owned it on VHS tape and I’m sure I’ve seen it at least 10 times. 💕

I have read every Stephen King book (a not-guilty pleasure), and this one is quite a fun read. It contains excerpts of the Misery novels that Paul is working on.
