The original story is actually a pretty good one. It is a metaphysical reflection on the futility of life and struggle.

Of course, Hollywood had to muck around with the casting and the ending and basically render it all fluff.

And the rumor is that Steven King’s accident in 1999 has left him unable to write anything. Anything with his name on it since has been ghostwritten.

He wrote plenty of stuff after 1999.....Duma Key was 2008.....he’s just like a lot of other libs, he let his political stupidity affect his craft and bow its crash and burn time.

Kimmel is learning that lesson right now.

“futility of life and struggle.”

So basically anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-Bhudist, ant-Hindu

Interesting. I read some of his early stuff and liked it back then. Along around “It,” “Tommyknockers,” “Needful Things” and “The Dark Half,” I got very bored with him.

The only one I’ve read since the 80s-90s is “11-22-63” (I think that might be post-1999) and that’s only because I have a weakness for time-travel novels and movies.
