Maybe he needs to get out and bash Trump some more.
Didn’t Carrie and Cujo do reasonably well?
I read his first book, all of the ones to follow used same outline - boring.
Yeah they did. His recent ones have flopped.
Saw it last night and it was better than I thought it would be. Nice plot, good acting, and they aggressively pursue the bad guys. Well worth a couple hours of popcorn and diet Pepsi.
Another victim of self-inflicted get-woke/go-broke syndrome.
King is a Trump hater. Therefore I do not watch his movies nor do I purchase his books.
I liked “The Shining” - both the novel and the movie, though they are very different. I didn’t like the “Doctor Sleep” novel sequel, but the reviews I’ve read say the movie is quite decent. I’ll probably try to see it while it’s still in theaters.
I saw The Shining. Why pay money to watch a remake when the previews don’t look as good as the original?
For someone who wrote “The Stand”, he sure has difficulty with the Good vs Evil story in real life.
BLM and SJW are the ones who look, act and talk like those in Las Vegas.
I’ve read a lot of King. The Outsider is a fast read and very intriguing, unlike most of his paid-by-the-word works. I learned about Doctor Sleep from a movie poster in the theater where I was seeing The Lighthouse.
not a remake of the shining, a follow-on story about the little boy, all grown up.
Too bad, so sad A-HOLE.
I stopped reading King after I finished the game unabridged version of The Stand. Only one worth reading. Any movie hes associated with stinks. Shawshank Redemption was fantastic, but he wasnt involved in filming.
I loved the horror genre when I was a teenager. Not so much anymore.
They seem to be popular, though.
Stephen King on the dismal opening.
“Trumps fault”:
Sorry to hear the movie isn't good.
His politics are irrelevant to me. People who are in the arts or literature usually have no sense when it comes to good sense and good judgment.
Never met one of those types who could cut it running a business or even had any idea what a business was all about (and a country is all about business in one way or another).
Nothing like the two of them toot their own horns. It gives me so much pleasure to see the Left stumbling so badly this year. Its the Trump zeitgeist.
With that said, I think the majority of his stories made into films are not that good. He seems to just sell the rights and be damned if the director sticks to the story. The worst of his stories made into a film was The Lawn Mower Man.
I read Doctor Sleep and actually liked it. However, when I saw trailers for the film, it seemed they changed the female character with the shine from white to black. Why do that? Will probably see it on Amazon Prime or Netflix.
He is not only a never Trumper but a leftist and anti-Christian bigot. He also got caught echoing John Kerry's remarks concerning those going into the military - if you can't get into college, you go into the military. Basically saying those going into the military are too stupid to do anything else.
