I think you are confusing James Caan with Dennis Hopper who was in Blue Velvet. James Caan was Sonny Corleone in The Godfather. Kathy won an Oscar for this. She was largely unknown previously. Stephen King wrote the novel Delores Clairborne with her in mind after seeing this. She played the lead role in the film. Director Ron Reiner's early work is all fantastic. Spinal Tap, Princess Bride, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men.

The movie is a little more literal, but King has talked about the novel being a metaphor for his drug addiction at the time and a sort of cry for help. Cocaine was "his biggest fan" and alternated between making him feel good and feel trapped, but always kept him writing. At a certain point he wasn't sure if he could write without it. The end of the novel is Paul, a year or so after finally being free of Annie, discovering he can still write and love writing.

The passages in the book about waiting in pain for the meds is great. He describes the pain coming and going like the tide coming in and out, his broken legs are rocks that are either exposed because the tide is low (no drugs) then covered by the waves (high on pills).

The fact that this movie is 2 actors in 1 room for like I dunno, 80% of the runtime, often gets lost because of just how nail biting the story is. Really unreal work from Bates and Caan, and the director Rob Reiner. He and King teamed up for one more film that maybe you'll get to, "Stand By Me".

James Caan and Kathy Bates are both unbelievably talented, I don't think this would have worked with lesser actors. And I know Annie is described as sort of dumpy and homely in the books and they really tried to make Kathy Bates look plain...but no, she's still beautiful imo. I absolutely love her.

I'm sure you heard this already but, when I saw this at the cinema the audience was quiet up until she whacked his ankles and then the whole audience let out a loud AAAHHHH!!!! and then everyone was quiet again. Well deserved Oscar for Kathy Bates but James Caan should have gotten an award as well. One of the best movies ever filmed.

"if they caught them they had to make sure they could go on working, but they also had to make sure they could never run away" It was at this moment he knew....he fucked up. Amazing movie with awesome performances, and awesome reaction bro, keep up the great work man!

The hobbling scene is tamer than what she does to him in the book. Much tamer. Now we must cauterize.

In the book, when he uses the wheelchair to get out of the room, his wheels scuffed the door jamb and Annie also found the broken Bobby-pin in the door lock. Instead of hobbling him though, she actually chopped his feet off with an ax.

Great reaction of a great horror film. Think you may be mistaking James Caan for Dennis Hopper or Dean Stockwell who were in Blue Velvet. James Caan's most memorable film other than this one is definitely The Godfather.

you can really understand how Paul felt "hobbled" by the fanbase that kept him writing about Misery. It really puts the scene in the beginning into context, where he celebrates his new book being finished, then flies down the mountain and keeps his hand on it even in the crash- how it must have represented freedom and a new beginning to him. Makes it even more painful that he was forced to destroy it.

Great story, great acting, great direction, and that hobbling scene is one of the most unsettling injuries ever put to film. Absolutely horrific. Everything came together for this one. Brilliant film in nearly every regard.

Your reaction to the "hobbling" was priceless. Laughed so hard I was in tears.

Im fairly certain that I remember hearing (though I dont remember exactly where) that even though Kathy Bates was a completely unheard-of actress at the time of casting this movie.. the director said it absolutely had to be her. Specifically because the well known actresses of the time, who audititoned for the role... either wouldn't or couldn't portray the character of Annie Wilks, in a way that made them look unattractive, or undesirable lol. Basically the other actresses would only portray her as the as the 'femme fetale' archetype.. and not the weird mentally disturbed, unstable, and unhinged lunatic, that they were actually looking for. But Kathy was different because she was absolutely willing to go there, to make the character believeable, and make the movie that much more terrifying in a realistic way.

“You need to figure out how to ice this woman.” The scene, wherein he does, is one of the most satisfying moments in film history

Kathy Bates' performance as "the internet" is phenomenal in this.

At this point in her career kathy was still extremely new to screen acting she had mostly been in theatre at this point aside from a few small parts on screen This was where she secured her position as a master actress in hollywood

The other is that book also takes place during the early spring. When one of the officers arrives, Kathy runs and chops him up with a lawnmower. James Caan wasn't in Blue Velvet. He's also known for playing as Sonny in The Godfather, and he also plays as the father in Elf. I think you're confusing him with Dennis Hopper, who was a brilliant actor in his own right.
