  SK didn't care for it, so different strokes.

  • To be clear, SK stands for Stephen King here and not Stanley Kubrick, right? - JoshT 07:17:37 05/18/15 (1)

    Just checking.
    
    I think Kubrick was a genius and turned what was a so-so novel into a brilliant movie.

    • Yes, King did not feel the original (Kubrick) movie did justice to his novel... - DeKay 17:04:17 05/18/15 (0)

      As a reader of the novel (not the writer) I think Kubrick nailed it and then some.
      
      I enjoy a great deal of SK's writings, but feel that he should distance himself from the movie/visual aspect of anything he writes.
      
      My favorite SK novel is "IT" (recently finished "Doctor Sleep" which was pretty good).

    to Stand By Me and The Shining. I had to look him up on IMDB but I knew he had some other good ones, amongst all the VERY bad ones. The Langoliers anyone?
