And “Needful Things” wasn’t bad either.

I liked it a lot better than Carrie, The Shining and It

King is a radical lefty. But I like his books.

So, you’re saying it’s just like all his other books?..............

Infinitely worse.

I like The Green Mile. Watch it whenever it’s on the TV. And I think we have the DVD too. I like all the actors, even the mouse.

The Stand? Running Man?

I found both entertaining. Pet Semetary(sp).

Not surprised, the Dark Tower series is meant to be read.

Nothing can be as bad as the Under The Dome miniseries!

The movie plot for Cujo followed your garden variety disaster movie from the 70s.

Confronted by a disaster, with a lot of emotional people whining and crying with someone dying or about to die that adds urgency, and finally the lead character gathers his or her wits and she finally overcomes the threat and wins.

Interesting: a lot of King's books follow this plot line.

"11-22-63 was pretty good . . . adapted for television."

Didn't read the book, but enjoyed the series.

Never read the Dark Tower series either. It's probably been 20 years since I've read any of his books. I like Idris Alba and Matthew McConaughey, so will watch this movie when it's available on Netflix.

By the 3rd season I was praying it would be cancelled, and it was. I don't think I even watched the last episode.

“Christine” is a much better book than the 1983 film adaptation. That movie is fairly watchable but again, I enjoyed the book much more.
