In Reply to: I read the book and don't compare books to films: different media. posted by tinear on August 13, 2009 at 17:52:23:
I've always been a fan of Jack's. The last few years he's simply being playing himself but his body of work is impressive.
It wasn't the "Here's Johnny!" quote. His whole performance rang false for me. I haven't seen it since the theatrical release. Who knows, I may feel differently now.
Film and books are different media. My point was I found the book truly frightening in a way the film missed entirely.
