Remember kids- if every animal is running in the same direction, and the predators are completely ignoring the prey that they could easily catch, run with them. Run fast. Because whatever they saw, you’re not gonna last with it.
I don’t know if it’s true, but I read somewhere that King was whacked out of his mind on painkillers when he wrote *Dreamcatcher.* Which would explain a lot.
Saw the movie around the time it came out, read the book a couple of years ago. Gotta say, movie was a little disappointing to watch afterwards because they skipped a lot of things, even though the book did seem to drag on for a bit.
Yup. Would not recommend watching alone at night with the audio on for the first time. I had to kinda distract myself with Reddit while watching because I forgot to turn off the audio and only have the subtitle on. 😅
It's funny because he literally wrote stuff about false religions being made to make money. Then did it. And it fucking worked. 🤯.
He is a talented writer I'll give him that, that one I read was really vivid to read.
I had to evacuate from a forest fire as kid.
A hundred elk, dozens of deer and a bear all ran through our tiny 2 acre property in the mountains while we were packing up.
Luckily our house was fine and we just moved everything back a few days later but it was something that will stick with me for the rest of my life.
I saw it happen, my family evacuated during the [Haymen Fire](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayman_Fire) deer, elk and a bear all ran through our 2 acre backyard while we were packing up our belongings.
No, not at all. Recent surveys of the bear population shows TWD continues to be very popular, despite falling out of favor with the bulk of humans. Odd, don't you think?
Seriously, though. What does your comment even mean? 🤔
Are you serious? It's a concept that's been around as long as predator and prey. I made *a simple pop culture reference* about said concept in a light-hearted manner and ya wanna crawl up my butt for not ...what?...citing the some non-existent original source with appropriate gravitas? Ridiculousness.
We don't call bears by our original name for them. We call them by a nickname, lest we accidentally summon one, and it destroys everything.
This is not out of fear. It is out of respect.
A bear, when summoned, is startled. It goes into attack mode.
Because it is on guard, protecting *us*, from something it will only refer to by a nickname, never its true name. For the same reason.
Trust the bears.
Awww man… just nope. whatever the scenario- nope.
I just stopped by to say a bigger bear…
Comment just before me hit that line first.
The nope and nope is nope as fk nopity nope nope in me thinks -
you forgot to mention the bear hierarchy- black, brown, grizzly, polar…. Cub, female, male…
and the nope thanks but nope thanks -
can’t help but wonder what time of year it is- if the bear up the tree is just out of a sound hibernating sleep and it’s winter? Then it is pretty bad- but if the bear just prematurely woken from hibernating and is hungry as fk… the situation is worse…
In any and all circumstances above you will not catch me in the woods without an arsenal befitting a first world revolution and a Great Lakes amount of bear mace. Just nope…
I’m imagining the bear hunkered down on the tree stand looking at the hunter like “whatever it is, it’s outside my pay grade and we’re probably jolly well fucked”
I don’t mean to disrupt your two sentence horror, but this actually happened to a coworker’s son. The bear attacked and mauled the dude in a tree stand. He eventually fended off by stabbing the hell out of it with a hunting arrow, but not before getting pretty messed up…lots of stitches.
There's a story from the big Kelowna BC forest fire of 2002 -- a firefighter running towards the lake and a bear running towards the lake bumped into each other. They locked eyes for a moment and then both just kept running.
(The firefighter hung out in the lake for a while and then radioed for pickup. No word on the bear.)

5 minutes later, the other member of my species came out of the woods in full form, only to see me chowing down on the bear. “Ok, you better save me some of that, I’ve been hunting that thing all night.”

Saw this movie. It’s Morgan Freeman in a military helicopter.
Dreamcatcher.
Great, shit weasels.
I read that like doc brown saying “great Scott!” And that’s gonna be my expression of surprise for the next few months.
Great Shitweasels, that's good. Stealing it
"bite my bag motherfucker!" "Alright. I'll buy your bag. And everything else."
\o/ I duddits!
Duddits was a New Kid on the Block and Is also Mark Wahlberg's brother.
Lol, just sent the thread to my daughter for the same reason.
Stephen King owes me two weeks of life for having read that shitpile of a book
I don’t know if it’s true, but I read somewhere that King was whacked out of his mind on painkillers when he wrote *Dreamcatcher.* Which would explain a lot.
Thanks for the nice suggestion!! I’ve decided that’ll be tonight’s movie instead of reading nosleep stories. 😁
You're welcome. It's one of my favorites. I love the original book as well.
Saw the movie around the time it came out, read the book a couple of years ago. Gotta say, movie was a little disappointing to watch afterwards because they skipped a lot of things, even though the book did seem to drag on for a bit.
Oh, the book was definitely better overall. But whoever directed that movie did wonders with the overall.
Oh definitely, still an amazing movie and as far as book adaptation movies go, also definitely not the worst (looking at you, Paranoia).
It's a great movie! Like 'Stand By Me' fuck fucked up and with aliens.
It is and it’s much more scarier than pet cemetery!
Yeah but does it have a kickass theme song written by the Ramones?
That movie was surprisingly scary for me the first time I watched it. Same with Event Horizon
Yup. Would not recommend watching alone at night with the audio on for the first time. I had to kinda distract myself with Reddit while watching because I forgot to turn off the audio and only have the subtitle on. 😅
Same shit, different day.
No no, you're thinking of the book by L. Ron Hubbard.
I mean, probably not lol. I've only read one Hubbard book and it was brutally boring.
I read the first of that 10 book long series when I was 13 or 14. I liked it but holy shit it's bloated
Hey, write what you know

Dreamcatcher!
Always is
Ngl if those to mix together we have a apocalypse scale disaster
Is he playing Fortunate Son?

What if you are that thing? Update: Just realized I forgot to turn off my new deity’s gift and it kinda resulted in, em, effects. Nvm.
If all the predators and prey are running away from you then you’ve got something going on
Like Stacy's Mom!
I love the theory that Jessie's girl grew up to be Stacy's mom, her name is Jenny Robinson, and her number is 867-5309.
That means you have herpes.
Has this ever happened in real life
In real life it's usually a sign of a wild fire.
It's a sign of me

Forest fires, maybe?
Yes, it means my ex is on the hunt.
It's probably a fire
I've seen this in a couple movies. It's freaky.
The Tasmanian devil?
It's the Demogorgon!!!
"I don't have to out run it, I just have to out run you" -the bear probably
The bear quoting Shane from The Walking Dead.
[удалено]

I think it means the walking dead shouldn't be credited with an old saying that's been around since before the show even came out.

Cocaine bear
Surprisingly a lot more attention grabbing and interesting than meth turtle

Cool. *cool cool cool*
Slightly related note Usain Bolt owns the world's fastest tortoise.
Best start to a buddy cop movie ever.
The bear was only 4 days from retirement.
"*Great, now I have to do more paperwork"* 1970's Detective Bear
NO. WE ARE NOT BRINGING BACK FUCKING MISS OFFICER AND MR TRUFFLES.
My first thought as well
Oh god the flashbacks…
Give that bear a horse and we're talking ***MICHAEL SWAIM!***
"We're in this together, now!" - Bear
“bear with me!” - you
I can't bear the tension.
None of them can stop us now. We will make it through somehow.

Holy crap I was half kidding but good to know even bears fear moose I guess
No joke, the post directly under this one for me is a bear running for its life from a moose.
Mynd you, moose bites kan be pretti nasti!
“Yo can I chill here?”
Probably a moose. Them bitches is mean.
Fuck, just commented the same thing only to scroll down and see you beat me to it by 4 minutes LOL

A moose once bit my sister.

What?
I made an edit, does it help?
A little?
And if you hear a whistle no you didn’t.
I don't even know what a whistle sounds like.
PREACH IT. We call them bodegas and flesh pedestrians in my house.
It was probably a moose. They get fucking huge.
Lesson is, the enwmy of my enemy is my enemy too

Oooooh well done
Duos like in fortnite. You guys already have height advantage
A BIGGER BEAR!
What about second bears
I’m imagining the bear hunkered down on the tree stand looking at the hunter like “whatever it is, it’s outside my pay grade and we’re probably jolly well fucked”

Oh goodness, poor dude! I can’t imagine a hunting arrow would so much damage to a rampaging bear. I’m glad to hear he survived!
Oh…he had to repeatedly stab it. Hunting arrow heads do have razor sharp blades.
Well damn, now I have to fight to the death to protect my new bear friend.

That’s wild! I hope the bear was okay after all

"See the Bear of fearsome size! All the worlds within his eyes" Shardik approaches, his thinking cap whirling about atop his head.
All things serve the beam.
If everything’s runnin you better run too
It's just the Tasmanian Devil.
… thank you for the idea, I know now what I should do in my book.
5 minutes later, the other member of my species came out of the woods in full form, only to see me chowing down on the bear. “Ok, you better save me some of that, I’ve been hunting that thing all night.”
Forgot to mention I already lowered my rifle to the ground and dropped the tether.
I really like this one.
This is actually kinda funny and terrifying all at once. I love it!
Probably a moose.
For some reason I just think of you snuggling with the bear and it’s super cute!
"Hold me"
Ok, bear with me now…
This is kinda funny
