I love a good sense if humor! Happy Thanksgiving!
It needs to be at least 10 episodes of 90 minutes... including commercials. Imagine showing the back stories in depth of the main characters. Video can never fill in the gaps in imagination, and that book goes on for a year in my head.
Mother Abigail was religious, and she was the focus for almost the entire book. The drug addict reformed, the deaf guy and Tom had deep beliefs, but they couldn’t put a finger on it.
M O O N, and that spells Jesus.
King has a lifetime obsession with “The Dallas Police” which I guess means he blames them for JFK’s assassination. In fact, some of them helped cover it up, but it was BIG GOVERNMENT that planned and hired the assassins.
“Happy Thanksgiving!”
Thanks, you too!
Even though I can’t stand Stephen King personally, The Stand was my favorite book by him. No way any movie or series could ever do it justice though.
Stephen King’s The Stand is a great read and a very prophecy and very insightful in into human behavior an9d as well as the workings of the forces of good and evil. The 1984 is a well-done movie and a great ‘Cleft Notes’ version of the story.
The only book of his I’ve read.
I thought book and the movie (1994 vers.) were both good. Can’t stand the man but he does write some good material mixed in with trash thrown in for good measure (he can’t help it).
The book was much better. I think it’s his best book.
I always wondered if the mysterious plague was something like a biological weapon gotten out of hand (Super-COVID?) or if it was the remaining population’s rationalization for the Rapture.
Ya’ll forgot that the book’s main villain is a member here at Free Republic. Happy Thanksgiving, Walking Dude!
Oh, I was posting, “Trips, Trips, baby,” on FR when covid was just starting its rampage, and the commies were demanding conformity.
Coincidentally, I go by RandallFlagg because back when The Stand aired in the 90s, my little sister said I looked like him.
