I once said the same thing about "The Shawshank Redemption".

Anyone remember the scene from Shawshank Redemption where they are tarring the prison roof? and the "Red" character (Morgan Freeman) has a voice over about how it was just like being any group of men working on one of their roofs and they finish with a beer?

Doesn't Netflix have Dagon and Necronomicron: Book of the Dead? I looove John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy and The Mist RULES! Frank Darabont has also made many a Stephen King flick (Shawshank especially).

Off the top of my head, I would say HP Lovecraft isn't simply about madness driving horrors, it's biological horror, rather than supernatural. So almost anything by David Cronenberg, a lot of Japanese and Korean film, such as Akira, Uzemaki, The Ring movies, (which is based upon a Japanese folklore, but in modern times became biological horror, the Ring is actually a hybrid biological, technological virus), etc.

Also, the Matthew McCant-spell-his-last-name's True Detective breeches the Lovecraftian realm on a subtle and then not so subtle way in the end, such as the concept of "black stars" in a constant daytime of white background. I would say it's pre-Lovecraftian mythos from authors in the 1800s writing nihilistic almost biological horror, more just heavy uncomfortable writing. I can't recall the primary author who inspired Lovecraft beyond Bram Stoker's The Lair of the White Worm.

Anyway. I love horror, thrillers, suspense, nihilism, pulp and gothic literature.

Your video, Morgan Freeman Looks Back on The Shawshank Redemption, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I like him a lot.

He did a great job narrating The Shawshank Redemption.

Had a friend here in Texas who was a member of IATSE Local 729 (Motion Picture Set Painters & Sign Writers) whose biggest claim to fame was Andy Dufresne's cell in the Shawshank Redemption-She's gone now, but I'm wondering what she'd be doing now since digital technology has no-doubt changed the trade.

We loved you Kelley Collopy!!

The cop at 3:02 looks like Capt. Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown) from the Shawshank Redemption.

My favorite part of Shawshank isn't any one part, but it is the "love" story between 2 male friends, without a female love interest or it being gay. Not a story that gets told very often.

Makes me want to watch Shawshank again - such a great flick.

Enjoyed the fact it began and ended with Shawshank redemption, definitely one of my favorite movies.

The fact that "the guards say they are powerless to end the abuse" is completely ridiculous. The reason the abuse continues is simply gross negligence on the part of the corrections staff, plain and simple. I work in one of the largest maximum security prisons in the country. Most of the men I deal with on a daily basis are serving life sentences for murder. You don't need 600 million dollars to fix the problem (as the officer suggests), you need officers who do their job. What was the reason they don't have an officer watching the inmates at all times? -- "They can't function," "they don't like the idea of having an officer with them"...so what? "They want to run things"...ok so, you let them?

Why in the world would officers only see the men when they're feeding them or making a head count? Especially when you know that they are brutally attacking one another when you're not around?

Unfortunately, I fear that violence continues like this in jails and prisons because it is tacitly condoned, if not perpetuated, by the corrections staff. It is a means of control - keep them afraid of each other, and leverage for extortion, as we see in Shawshank," "do this or I'll cast you down with the Sodomites."

Another thing I've learned...people in prison (both employees and inmates) act very very different when cameras are around.

Yes, it's by Thomas Newman. The guy who also did Shawshank Redemption and the Road To Perdition.

Reminds me of Shawshank Redemption when they read Brooks' letter after he got released from prison..."the world went and got itself in a big damn hurry". Until people realize that its not worth their or someone elses life to save a few seconds, or they just gotta send that text, accidents like these will continue to happen. I know not all of these are from carelessness or speeding, but thats the majority.
