Watching Cell, adaptation of the Stephen King book

2. I agree

It seems the only full length novel of his that was completely successful as a film was Misery.

I have mixed feelings about The Shining. The book is fantastic, the movie is wonderful, but they are totally separate in my mind. Almost like the movie is a parallel universe version of what happened to the Torrence family.

One thing I have noticed is a lot of the dialogue in his books sounds great in your head while reading it but sounds cheesy when spoken out loud.

Another director, Mike Flanagan, has taken on The Dark Tower. It is planned to be several tv seasons plus two movies. That’s the right way to do it, imho, the only way it can be done. He’s a die hard fan but I am still anxious about how it will turn out (if it happens, at all- we’ve been down this road many times before)
