If it got you into SK then it served a good purpose. I'd forgotten about Don't Fear the Reaper. That was good.Well I watched it as a young teenager and it got me into Stephen King - at the time I thought it was amazing. So it can't be all bad! On revisiting it though - not so much.
That said, I still think the opening of it in the lab with 'Don't fear the reaper' playing is pitched perfectly. As an adaptation, I think its heart is in the right place.
I like the 400s too.There are some movies I can just sit down and enjoy at any point.
The Stand is a book I can just pick up, open to any page, and enjoy. Not many books are like that for me.
What did you guys think of
the stand ? And how long did it take you guy's to read it?
I've got 50 more chapters to read!!
