Stephen King Insisted ‘The Long Walk’ Audiences Watch Teenage Characters Die

gizmodo.com Gordon Jackson 2025-10-14 21:38:50

Following decades of false starts from previously-attached directors including George Romero, Frank Darabont, and André Øvredal, a film adaptation of Stephen King’s 1979 novel, The Long Walk finally hits theaters later this month. It’s been a long road gettin’ from there to here, and King recently told the Times of London he had one condition before he allowed his story about a peculiarly vicious walkathon be made into a movie: Its doomed teenage cast must be shown getting shot—none of that Old

We’re Stunned by Just How Powerful and Brutal ‘The Long Walk’ Is

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-15 01:00:08

The Long Walk is brutal. It’s not for the faint of heart. It can be violent, disgusting, and incredibly hard to watch. But if you do watch, you’ll be rewarded with a surprisingly beautiful, nuanced, human story. One that’s about friendship, hope, life, love, family, and everything in between. The Long Walk is a horror movie for sure, but it’s got a massive, massive heart too. Based on one of the earliest novels by a little-known author named Richard Bachman (most know him by his real name, Step

SQLite's documentation about its durability properties is unclear

news.ycombinator.com Andrew Ayer 2025-10-17 11:30:29

One of the most important properties of a database is durability. Durability means that after a transaction commits, you can be confident that, absent catastrophic hardware failure, the changes made by the commit won't be lost. This should remain true even if the operating system crashes or the system loses power soon after the commit. On Linux, and most other Unix operating systems, durability is ensured by calling the fsync system call at the right time. Durability comes at a performance cost

Influencers Will Have to Complete a Long Walk to See ‘The Long Walk’

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-18 13:15:19

The rules of The Long Walk are simple. Participants must walk at a minimum of three miles per hour until only one remains. Dip below that, and you get a warning. Three warnings, and you’re out. So, basically, it’s walk or die. The concept makes for a very tense, emotional film, which hits theaters September 12. And now, a group of influencers will do their best to complete the same task.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Would Prefer If You Moved on From Hating the Ending of ‘Game of Thrones’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-27 12:15:00

Game of Thrones was beloved for much of its run—winning awards, topping “best” lists—before it famously went off the rails in its eighth and final season. Time hasn’t softened the blow one bit, even with the subsequent success of the prequel series House of the Dragon. Fans will likely never forgive the show’s disappointing downturn, and that’s something one Game of Thrones star in particular hasn’t quite come to terms with: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who played Jaime Lannister.

Japan's Creepiest Station

However, if travelling northbound in the direction of Niigata, the station takes on a vastly different character. The northbound platform is a 15 minute walk away from the main station building. A majority of this walk consists of a 70m descent down almost 500 steps into the Shin-Shimizu tunnel. The descent is terrifying, with little vision of what awaits you at the end as you venture further and further into the depths. Water from the nearby rivers can also be heard trickling into the tunnel at
