[edit] Plot

Buster is not fan of the books. Buster researches Sheldon by reading his books. Buster finds the quote about justice and later finds Annie made the same quote in a newspaper article. Then Buster pays Annie a visit. Synopsis needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[edit] Spoilers Removed

I removed great swathes of plot since they are unnecessary and spoil the book/film somewhat. I'm not too precious though, maybe someone prefers it all in there - if so, please add a big SPOILERS warning! Sweavo 08:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC) Bold text

[edit] Split from Misery

See Talk:Misery#Split_off_film.3F for discussion about taking the film info from Misery and placing it in this article. Also note that if that goes ahead, the GFDL authors list will have to take into account the history found at Misery.--Commander Keane 06:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Misery page move

FYI, there's a current proposal to move Misery to Misery (book) and Misery (disambiguation) to Misery, since there are a lot of uses of the word Misery, and at least the book and film should have equal notability, instead of preference given to the book over all the other pages. If you have any input on the matter, please make it known at Talk:Misery#Requested move. --Maelwys 18:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Rationale

Trimmed the image fair use rationale notice from here, since the image is gone anyway!

[edit] Re-wrote the plot synopsis

Today (08/08/07), while watching "Misery" in fact, I rewrote the plot portion, since the one that was there was really poor, not to mention gave away the ending without a spoiler warning.

   Not even to mention terribly inaccurate, before I took care of it it said that he killed her
 by taking her gun and shooting her.  Citanul 16:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference in Superbad

I was hoping someone could include the quote given by Seth Rogan's character in Superbad where he mentions "Misery". I do not remember it exactly, but it's in there. Zeppelin462 (talk) 06:14, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
