Aww, I wish we could have a "Stephen King Day" in the movie theatres.

Now I really don't have money, trying to make my own success and something out of my life.

Things pop up out of my head.

I recently found this site and I'm enjoying it.

I think the moderators are doing a great job, and I hope Stephen King knows how wonderful it is to feel "safe" to come here and just "talk".

But I have ideas all the time in my head.

Right now, this second it popped into my head.

Why couldn't there be a Stephen King Day in the movie theatres.

Yeah I know it's alot of work.

Look, I know as silly as it sounds or corny, but I did move to Maine, and over in Westbrook,
there is a Cinemagix.

Why not honor Stephen King?

I mean, we honor so many people when they are "passed away" and saw how much
they "were" talented.

We should have a Stephen King day and celebrate him.

Yeah I know everything is about money, but I have a blog talk radio show, in which
I did almost 184 shows with many great martial artist/stunt people even from Hollywood
and I could promote it on my show.

Of course everything is money, and I wouldn't even know how to start this.

Between looking for a better job, and doing films and other things myself, I do
know everything is about "money" and I wish I had it, and I could throw the whole thing
together.

Maybe we could get "Maximum Overdrive" and a couple other features shown.

Like I said, ideas pop into my head, and would it be so bad to have
a Stephen King day in theatres?

The films are already made, but I know there's so much red tape and
everything, but the way I look at it, it would make alot of Stephen King
fan's happy and we could honor Stephen King at the sametime.

Funny you should mention that! :smile2: If anyone is near Skowhegan, Maine, in August they're doing a Stephen King Movie Marathon Fundraiser at the Skowhegan Drive-In. They're trying to raise money to purchase a digital projector system or they won't be able to continue operating as the 35mm reels aren't being used for new movies. I think you can get to this FB page without having a FB account if you want to check it out. Not all of his films, but they'll be showing Christine, The Shining, and Pet Sematary. Plus you get to relive the old days of going to a drive-in while helping out a good cause. =D

wow, I'll check it out thank you!!!
Also, every October we have a horror movie marathon for the members of this board, where people try to watch as many horror movies as they can, with the goal of 1 per day. It doesn't have to be all SK movies but there's nothing that says you couldn't try!

This is an excellent idea! I'm going to suggest it as a fundraiser for something I do here. Smart move! To see those movies in the drive in would be so great. Remember the scene in Twister at the drive in and they're showing The Shining?

Technically, you would need a Stephen King "2 days at the movies" or maybe more if you include all the 'Children of the Corn' movies. And the cow went flying and said, "Moo". Bill Paxton, I think, has had plastic surgery on his face. If you have seen him in Marvel's 'Agents of Shield', you'll know what I mean.

I wish our theaters made something like that, too. But I do not know theaters here that would show old movies, they show only premiers, and that's all. I have been long thinking why they don't show popular old movie, they could make good money with it, why not? And different marathons would be even cooler, definitely Stephen King deserves such a marathon having made so many stories.
