The Stand (1994)

All PNG's now deleted

Okay I put that job off for as long as I could. All images are now jpg. --Jcordell 17:31, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Screencaps

Please? I've done everything I can. --Jcordell 00:45, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll take that deafening silence as a no. I have to download the software so I can do screencaps. That's all there is to it. --Jcordell 21:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Use VLC Media Player.-Oliveira 22:00, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Right now I'm visiting. But when I return home I'll do that. --Jcordell 22:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Better late than never

Okay well just a few months later, but I've jumped into the water. Actually they don't look too bad. I'll continue to work on them. --Jcordell 19:43, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Did you use VLC? By the way, put "." at the end of every caption, please.--Oliveira 19:45, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes I used VLC. Could you demostrate please?--Jcordell 19:46, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Demostrate what? The points?--Oliveira 19:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

What do you want me to put the quotes around? The whole caption under the screencap? --Jcordell 20:18, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh. Sorry. I'm talking about the period. I'm going to fix it. Don't worry.

Great. Thanks. So what do you think? Evidently I should have formatted the screencaps in JPEG and not PNG. Well now I know. Guess I'm blowing my own horn but I think it's looking pretty good.For some reason this page ,above all others, has really been bothering me. It really needed screencaps. --Jcordell 22:11, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

It looks great. Good job, Jcordell.--Oliveira 23:16, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Chuck Adamson as Barry Dorgan. Real life inspiration for Vincent Hanna in Heat

Go to the section on the Winchester Model 1300 Defender. In the screencaps he's the older guy in the blue blazer. He retired as a Lt. with the Chicago PD. He was the guy that Micheal Mann modeled Vincent Hanna after. He was the technical advisor on Heat and I believe the televison series Crime Story which was alos produced by Mann.Chuck Adamson passed away on 02/22/2008. --Jcordell 21:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Done

Okay that's it for me. If anyone else sees some models that I missed (I'm sure that I did) feel free. Next stop Rough Riders . However this was actually alot of fun and a good experience. Made a few mistakes, but not as difficult as I thought it would be. Glad I finally took the plunge.--Jcordell 02:05, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Whoops

Sam Raimi is using an H&K MP5K-PDW not an H&K MP5A3. I've corrected it. --Jcordell 01:30, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

This is quite clearly not an MP5K-PDW; it does not have a folding stock. It's an H&K SP89 that's been fitted with an MP5K forward grip and converted to auto.

Organizing firearms by type

I'm just organizing some pages. I'm not changing the text or screencaps, but I'm anal and I am grouping the firearms by type. --Jcordell 21:42, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Imitating Bronze Bruce?

I just saw The Stand for the first time on Netflix, and I couldn't help but notice a certain similarity between Gary Sinise's pose in this scene...

...to this statue:

Is this just a coincidence, or did Gary Sinise (loosely) copy the pose of the Special Warfare Memorial Statue when he filmed the scene? I know he's a supporter of veterans in real life, so it seems possible (even likely) he knows about it. I hadn't seen the statue myself at the time that Jcordell created the page (in 2009), but I saw it when I was at Fort Bragg for the first time a few years ago. So I didn't entertain the possibility until just now. If I'm not imagining things, this might be a neat bit of trivia for the page. -MT2008 (talk) 21:40, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

I see nothing similar. They aren't wearing the same clothes, sun glasses, the left hand pose isn't the same and he isn't even holding the rifle like the statue. Excalibur01 (talk)

Well maybe it is a type of homage. I know that Sinise is a big supporter of our military. --Jcordell (talk) 14:48, 17 September 2014 (EDT)

It does seem to be a pretty natural way to hold a rifle, especially if you're leaning against something. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:12, 17 September 2014 (EDT)

Excal, the fact that he is holding an older-model M16 (pointed upwards) and has his head turned left is still close enough. I admit that it's probably coincidence, but it's a pretty big one. -MT2008 (talk) 21:19, 17 September 2014 (EDT)

New CBS Miniseries (2020)

Well for those who are interested CBS has released a few photos from the remake. It actually wrapped just days before everything shut-down for the real pandemic. Talk about timing. --Jcordell (talk) 13:53, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo) and Rita Blakemore (Heather Graham) on their now legendary (in a literary sense) journey out of the dead city of New York.

Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgård)visits a desperate,and very hungry, Lloyd Henreid (Nat Wolff) in his prison.

Amber Heard as Nadine Cross (facing).

Gas Mask Dude in the first photo has a gun. Excellent. I'm already sold. --PyramidHead (talk) 14:43, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

Alexander Skarsgård as Randall Flagg? I feel like he gets typecast as the evil handsome guy in Hollywood, but I can see him pulling off the role. I’ll definitely watch. -MT2008 (talk) 20:05, 26 May 2020 (EDT)

590s

Is it because of the lighting, or are they blued on the last screencap? --Slon95 (talk) 14:02, 20 May 2020 (EDT)

That's exactly how I found the photo. --Jcordell (talk) 14:10, 20 May 2020 (EDT)
