Apparently, your professional career as an antangonist and contrarian has spilled over to your personal life. Once again, are we to rely upon those numerous movie goers and professional critics who feel this to be a very good to great film, or DUILAWYER? The jury has spoken. Although you, like Geragos, will undoutedly tell us that the jury was wrong. And another thing, King did not write the screenplay, upon which the book was based. Your analysis, of which there is precious little, would therefore seem to indicate that a movie based upon a Sharespeare play would necessarily be great because he wrote the play.
- Quite right IMO, and besides, King has written *killer* (as it were) short stories for the New Yorker. nt - clarkjohnsen 13:38:27 01/12/05 (0)

I have long suspected he DOESN'T write... - grinagog 22:46:58 01/11/05 (0)
anything and some editor is simply slapping his name on the product knowing it will sell, all written by some committee so of course it's rubbish
There's a formula; but not enough of a common literary style,if you view "his" novels in a certain light
Betcha that's what's the deal with Stephen-King-the-Industry
As the TV exec. says in the movie Quiz Show: "It's all entertainment...."
