About this deal

The Box is a 2009, American psychological thriller film written and directed by Richard Kelly, who also serves as a co-producer. It is based on the 1970 short story " Button, Button" by Richard Matheson, which was previously adapted into an episode of The Twilight Zone. The film stars Cameron Diaz and James Marsden as a couple who receive a box from a mysterious man (played by Frank Langella) who offers them one million dollars if they press the button sealed within the dome on top of the box, but tells them that, once the button has been pushed, someone they do not know will die. There is something to cater for every taste nearby; from the awe-inspiring Peak District National Park to the shopping haven of Manchester. The setting of this book kind of made me laugh. Has any King book taken place in space before? This may be the first. We are in the year 2026, and COVID-19 is still a thing, but with vaccines people have moved on. We have Donald Trump and the current GOP in this world and it made me shake my head. I don't really care about Stephen King's politics or him talking about them via characters in his books. I know some readers got mad about it, but it is what it is. I think he's going to keep inserting Trump in his books because he writes about terrible things all the time and I think he can't quite grasp how Americans fell for someone he sees as worse than Greg Stillson (The Dead Zone). I also thought that King was taking a swipe at the whole rich men space race that was going on a few months ago in this one too and showing why he thinks it's stupid to uplift billionaires. One maybe “complaint” is that this book gets very political. I didn’t used to have an issue with politics in books, but after the past few years I am exhausted by it and want my books to be an escape. You are definitely not escaping modern political opinions in this one. I am not going to focus on which side of things the politics fall in this book (I am bet all of you probably can guess which way they fall) because all of it exhausts me! I’m not gonna give much away. I know when I start to talk about plot, I cannot stop myself without giving too much spoilers! I can only say I loved this thrilling wild space ride!

I can only hope that Chizmar got his retirement fund out of his connection with King and doesn't continue to milk the everliving shit out of it.Very easy to deliver - the children wanted to sing the songs - I incorporated the Infants and they loved it! Ending made me sad as expected but I always cry when something is too good eventually runs out of its own time. I’m saying goodbye to this brilliant trilogy with misty eyes and highly recommend to you read each book, enjoy the talents of the authors! Everything you need is there. Owners left extras in fridge. Well worth the money we paid. Thanks to the owners. The children enjoyed the performance. The Button Box songs are easy to sing and are very good for developing awareness of other cultures.’ We've just finished our performances of 'The Button Box'. It was my second time doing your show and once again it was a huge success. The structure of it works so well for a primary school production... It's light-hearted, warm and very enjoyable for teachers and children to work on. Every night the audience walked out humming the tunes, so that's always a good sign!" ~ L Dryland, Teacher, New Zealand.

The only downfall we found was the parking, our car is only small, but it was still tight getting in and out of the space due to the caravan that is parked at the side.Open Over 50 Hi-Res Stills from Richard Kelly's The Box". Bloody Disgusting . Retrieved October 19, 2009.

A leisurely stroll along the canal to the west will take you to the delightful village of Slaithwaite, full of artisan and locally sourced food, independent shops and an award winning homemade bakery with cafe. It happens again, not quite as egregiously, but still someone felt the need to cap several chapters with a completely unnecessary extra two-word paragraph. Following a mysterious phone call leaking information that Gwendy was seeking but was otherwise stonewalled, All our Yr 3 and 4s performed 'The Button Box' - a total treat for everybody. The children were still singing the songs well after the production was finished! Such Variety
