The Langoliers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhbrLjcAP...
On a red eye flight to Boston from LA 10 people wake up to a shock. All the passengers and crew have vanished. When they try to contact the ground they make no connections. They land the plane only to discover that things haven't changed. But its like the world is dead. No one is there, the air is still, sound doesn't echo, the food is tasteless. And a distant sound is heard coming closer. A race of monstrous beings bent on their destruction is heading for them, eating everything in sight.

What does Langoliers mean?

The Langoliers are a fictional entity created by Stephen King as his representation of what happens to the past when everyone has 'moved on' to the present....it gets eaten up/erased by these 'creatures'. The concept, demonstrated by the character of Craig Toomy through his fear of the Langoliers, is that if you are lazy and lag behind, you will get swallowed up and forgotten in the past. So you're as good as dead.

As the Jewish proverb goes: The only truly dead are those who have been forgotten.

In the movie the langoliers wat did tey mean by new people at the end?

Awakening on the other side, they find another deserted world. At first, it seems identical to the dead world they left behind, but when they land they find that sounds echo, food tastes fresh, and there is a peaceful hum in the air (in place of the ominous noise of the Langoliers). The rift, it turns out, has taken them into the future. Soon the present catches up with them, and people and activity materialize around them as they rejoin the natural flow of time.

Sounds very confusing, doesn't it?

Have you ever appeared in a movie by accident?

I used to do long weekend training runs along the Delaware Canal Towpath, traveling south from Easton, PA towards Riegelsville and back. It is a beautiful setting, The Towpath is elevated, separating the Canal from the Delaware River, and the Canal separates the Towpath from Rte 611. You really feel close to nature. No traffic; no intersections. I always enjoyed watching fishermen, canoers, and tubers out on the water.One day I was feeling especially full of energy and was really kicking it on my downstream leg, shirtless, sweating like a horse. Coming around a bend, I surprised a group of about 20 people who were standing, and talking, right in my path.I cleared my throat and they quickly moved aside to let me through. What didn't move, however, were the three canoes lying in the middle of the path.I could have skirted them, but decided to try and look cool. Without slowing, I hurdled the first, then the second, then the third. Then without looking back, or saying a word, I continued running south.After my turnaround I saw the group again, on the river this time. They waved, and I waved back.A few weeks later one of the senior officers at the bank where I worked stopped by my desk on his way to a morning meeting."I saw you in church yesterday," he said."Huh?" I replied. "What church?" (I'm an atheist, and Jack knew it.)"My church. Actually, you were in a movie… I promised to get your autograph for one of our ladies.""Huh?" (Obviously my conversational skills needed improvement.)"One of our people is making a documentary about recreational activities here in the Lehigh Valley. After services he showed us some of the stuff he has so far.""He said he was getting ready to shoot some footage on the river, and cameras were rolling as they were preparing to launch their canoes.""All of a sudden, some half naked guy pops out of nowhere, jumps a bunch of canoes, and disappears downstream. It was over in five seconds… it looked just quirky enough… he left it in his clip.""When you showed up on screen folks were asking 'Who the heck is that?' They really looked at me funny when I admitted to knowing you."I picked up a blank scrap of note paper… drew a stick figure of a running man… and scribbled a likeness of an autograph at the bottom.,,, and for just that one moment, felt like a celebrity.

What are some horror movies involving/based in airplanes?

Like snakes on a plane, or flight of the living dead, things like that, I don't mean like final destination type stuff, I mean bermuda triangle stuff, weird stuff happening on the plane, etc. Sorry if this question is asinine.

Do you ever wake up, sometimes in the dead of night, get up for some milk and cookies or a smoke or whatever and think, hold on, this life isn't real?

No, because when I was a teenager I read Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, wherein he explains his own take on reality thus: "Because waking I often observe the absurdity of dreams, but never dream of the absurdities of my waking thoughts, I am well satisfied that being awake, I know I dream not; though when I dream, I think myself awake." That made perfect sense to me, and so I never awaken thinking life isn't real.

Which movie adapatations of his books did Stephen King appear in?

Big screen: Creepshow, Pet Sematary, Sleepwalkers, Thinner. TV adaptations: Golden Years, The Stand, The Langoliers, The Shining, Storm of the Century, Rose Red, Kingdom Hospital, Under the Dome.
