Stephen King is crap...always was and always will be...

None of the movies he has made or are based on his books are worth anything.

He just has some stupid (and yeah, really really stupid) idea that should be a shortstory at best and blows it up to full size and it just comes apart.

This movie, that has so many plotholes, dead ends and just ludricous elements is exactly typical for that.

How that hack ever get any recognition boggles the mind...

So you don't like Stephen King? Why do you watch these movies? Rather odd behavior.

Yet here you are wasting your valuable time talking about the man.

-Green Mile is great.

-Shawshank Redemption is straight up considered a masterpiece.

-The Mist is decent.

Therefore, you are wrong.

There are several that have been excellent, but in others they need to continue to be concerned about Constant Reader and tell Basement Fanboy to *beep* off. If his name is on it there is no happy or normal ending.

In any case, he wrote this book as a tongue-in-cheek satire. I don't understand why he wrote a different sort of screenplay.

OP sees a bad movie and starts barfing out ignorant generalizations that have no basis in fact...

Hey! I think I just summed up almost every IMDb post...

1 hit book you could consider maybe a fluke. A Lifetime of them, mostly all turned into movies and a personal net worth of 400 million? Well that has to be the most profitable crap in history he is serving up.

He has come up with genre changing ideas all over the place. Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining, all re-defined how school bullying, vampirism, and the classic ghost story could be told. The Stand is an opus to the end of the world. Think of the creativity in novels like The Dead Zone, and Firestarter. The fear of clowns and childhood fears in general carried with children to adulthood in the novel "IT".
