But, really, the movie is SO different from the book, in atmosphere and everything else. If I was an author (O someday pls god) it would tend to make me more irritated as time went on and I realized how far from my vision the movie was... especially considering it is Stephen King's characters that are very deep and unique, so real you miss them when you close the book covers.. and the character departure, I felt, was one of the great divides. Especially, for example, Jack's portrayal, although so brilliant, like everything 'ol Jackie does, not anything like the character in the book at all.
messy.. so, so agree here. Disjointed and jumpy. Again, I did love it tho!
