So we all have our fave book, character and movie, but do the books of Bachman outshine the King. Is The Long Walk a better read than Firestarter.? Desperation or The Regulators.? Blaze v Cell.? Does Pet Sematary creep you out more than Thinner.?
So all SK fans know almost everyone of his stories that goes to the big screen gets botch and cut to you know what. My question is what movie totally disgusted you. By this I mean because it was cut so bad it had no business having the SK name attached to it.
The movie that did it for me was Needful things. The book was great but the movie was just sad
The skeleton crew short story to big screen. I hope its better than 1408. I was really dissapointed with it. but not as bad as Lawnmower man runningman adapts I guess. I just felt that 1408 lacked anything spooky in the movie special effects are great but stink for scares. I am crossing my fingers when i see this one. Hopefully it will be like the stand, or secret window.
There are so many vivid, real characters in Kings fiction. Which one stands out for you. My personal favourite is Bart Dawes from Roadwork. Some of the minor characters are memorable too, how about Henry Bowers (IT),Collie Entragion (DESPERATION), Ginelli (THINNER), Le Bay (CHRISTINE) and of course Stephen King (THE DARK TOWER) I could go on, but, hey you guys tell me who you love and why?
So c`mon guys who makes your toes curl?, who gave you sleepless nights?, who made you wanna scream? Kings biggest and baddest villain award goes to....... Well for me it has to be IT, aka PENNYWISE aka BOB GRAY etc I mean that character ripped kids apart, murdered and mutilated and terrified. As bad as it gets surely,,,,, or do you guys know different?
There as sadly been lots of talk since THE ACCIDENT about King retiring. (God forbid) However when the fateful day does arrive which book would you choose to remember the great man by. What novel would you reccomend to future generations as archetypal King.?
Hello everyone. For those who have seen the movie "the Mist", check this out. The main character in it is an artist who designs movie posters. I think in one of the scenes early in the movie, when we're in his studio, I see a movie poster w/ a gunslinger on it, he looks eerily close to Roland in the Dark Tower! Anybody see this? Am I just imagining things or could this forshadow an upcoming Dark Tower movie? Thoughts?
I know this will stir some people up, but I know all of you have some stories or novels that just didn't appeal to you. What Stephen King stories have you read that just left you thinking, "man, did he really write this garbage?" Of course, this is all just opinion, so please explain why you don't like something.
I really did not like The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon, Dreamcatcher, and From a Buick 8. None of these books ever sat right with me, and I regretted losing the time spent reading them.
Perhaps it was the lack of supernatural in Tom Gordon, but I was very disappointed with the ending.
In Dreamcatcher, everything seemed implausible, even for a Stephen King novel - and nothing flowed well - it seemed choppy.
Finally, From a Buick 8 just didn't make sense, and no questions were ever answered.
I just finished reading his latest collection of short stories. The book's title is "Just After Sunset". Usual King, as good as ever. Oh yeah, hi everyone.
Amazon and Walmart are having price wars over Stephen King's New Novel Under the Dome! The suggested retail price is $35.00. I just pre-ordered mine from walmart at $8.99 with no shipping costs!
Take advantage of it now. No telling how long these deals will last.
I have been collecting and reading a lot of SK short stories lately. Just curious what everyone else thinks might be his best? My personal favorite has to be The Jaunt.
In Stephen King Goes to the Movies, he comments on five films made of his works: Shawshank Redemption, Children of the corn, Hearts In Atlantis, 1408, and The Mangler. Which is your favorite adaptation?
