I loved “The Stand” when the book came out. I visited many of the places mentioned and always said the book will better than any movie version they could ever come out with. I think I’ll let that claim “stand” rather than suffer whatever is required to watch See BS premium channel just to watch the execrable Woopster murder an important role.

I think “11.22.63” is his greatest. It is a fantastic love story.

The Gary Sinise version was pretty good.

I've read The Stand a couple of times. May do so again. I generally agree with you that the book is better than anything they could do with a movie. Especially if they plan to cast the ugliest woman in America as Mother Abigail. However...the original movie, made for TV, with Gary Sinise is well worth watching. Great cast, IMHO, M-O-O-N...that spells great cast.

And BTW...I watched 'The Sum of All Fears' this weekend. Gawd! What an awful, awful adaptation of a great book! I was originally looking forward to the release until I heard that they replaced muslim terrorists as the bad guys with Neo-Nazis. I then and there vowed not to watch. But Q has made so many references to the book, and after the Nessun Dorma performance at the WH I decided to break my vow. Shouldn't have!
