for selling out to Hollywood. I suspect that the high ratings from this series are from those viewers who did not read the book. This bullcrap series bastardizes the story.

....not to sound flippant, but it's amazing how many people know what's in Steve's mind and heart huh?....Shame on...well, not Stephen King.
I'll let you guess.

DFTT !
One thing a King fan has to learn right away is that most adaptions of his work suck. You get used to it after awhile.
Yeah, this is true, altho 1408 is the only movie adaptation that i love. I would say that the others rank from good to mediocre to bad and lastly, suck
Oh, there's a few I really like, but most of em...ech.

I do not understand why we expect writers to do what we wish in regards to selling their products. Would we tell a florist not to sell flowers? They have every right to make their living. If you do not like adaptations, then do not watch them....I do not. I read the book....which does not change. I would not want people poking their collective noses in my affairs, that is for sure.
Except this new film version of 'It'. I was really impressed by how well it was done. I did not like the tv mini series. As far as other film adaptations, Pet Semetery was probably the closest that Hollywood came to matching the book. In the movie version of 'Cujo'Yeah, this is true, altho 1408 is the only movie adaptation that i love. I would say that the others rank from good to mediocre to bad and lastly, suck
I agree. After seeing movies such as Firestarter and Christine when I was a kid, I came to expect that the expectations weren't going to be all that great. I know it's a whole different monster writing a novel than writing a screenplay though. It just seems that they're unable to get across on the screen what SK can in a book.One thing a King fan has to learn right away is that most adaptions of his work suck.

Can't really call him a sellout, though. That's kinda harsh. Let's just say that, when it comes to movies or teevee, he sometimes makes poor decisions.
