Did you read the first one? Was it any good? All the plot synposes I've read sound like cover blurbs, and advertisements.

You mean I went thru all that crap just for Roland to start over. Y*&#(&#*#&(*

Absolutely my favorite, thu i read it too young. Probably explains why I hate going to the grocery store.

I have to agree The Stand tied all of it together for me too.

Ok all this talk about Stephen King maybe ya'll will know. Do they sell a complete box set?? I remember seeing one that had like 3 movies in it. I have the Stand which by they way I think is one of the best movies ever.

According to King's website, Darabont is supposed to be making a movie of The Mist. The one I'd like to see tackle King is Robert Rodriguez. Could you imagine his version of The Stand?

I seriously thought this thread was about someone else.

I haven't seen a "complete" set. But then with all the books and short stories he's had made into movies, you would need to carry them home in the bed of a pickup truck. I usually see one good one and two stinkers wrapped together
Like "Carrie" with "Maximum Overdrive" and "Tommyknockers"

I think that is the same set I have seen.

It would make the book look sober in comparison. I just watched his "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" - exceptionally campy. I wouldn't have understood his methods if I didn't know he and Tarentino are very tight. They definitely have the same outrageous in your face style.

Yeah he is a little over the top, but he is sincere about staying true to the author's "vision". And he is a genius at casting. Did you see "Sin City"? There wasn't a false note in that movie. I even enjoyed Mickey Rourke who is a buffoon. And his use of music to set a mood is better than any I've ever seen!
