just watched Dolans Cadillac, a new stephen king film i think, and was wondering if Jim Dolan supposed to be Flagg? Theres so many things that point to it directly, at least in the movie, havent read the story.
So has anyone else seen the movie and thinks the same?

Seen it and read the story. No connection. Dolan is just a hood.

Ok, so this has been driving me crazy - WHAT King story contains a scene beginning in an abandoned diner with a white children's tennis shoe? I know that is super vague, but it is one of those "tip of the brain" things that is absolutely KILLING me, do ya kennit. Help?!? Thanks!!

In fact, there is a connection! The movie begins with the description of Randal Flagg from The Stand! They used it to describe Dolan! It was very strange! And stupid, i think! Flag is way more evil, interesting and "classy" character than Dolan. Dolan was a small fish! He didn't earned this awesome description!

The first thing that came to my mind was "Cell"...but it was only the child's shoe bit that made me think of it.

I'm thinking Cell also, but like you I think it's just the child's shoe that's leading me there.

I think this may be something that happened in DT books but I can't be sure and it's driving me nuts: whose father poisoned a neighbor's horses during the Depression and forced the farmer to move on? I read a ton of books this winter and for some reason the little backstory bit is stuck in my head and I can't place it. It was a white guy who was a kid in the Depression and the farmer was black. I don't even remember what the point or context was. The only character I can think of Prentiss. Is that right? Anyone? Sorry for putting this in non-DT questions but I can't remember. I read all seven of them a couple months ago and then a wack of other King novels. It may have been in Blaze?

Not what you are looking for but there is a Pimli(?) Prentiss in one of the DT books. He didn't work with horses though

^ is a major spoiler for people who haven't read DT: VII, maybe it should be in a spoiler tag.

What do you think that happens after, in the book Cell...
Spoiler:
Clay makes a call to the 911 and gives the phone to his zombie-son
I would kill to know what happened after the book finished, and who made all the mess...
And... this will be stupid but I am a Cat-Lover, yes... What happens with Tom's Cat...
The one that Clay mentions "President of the US" :doh:
PD: Cell was the first S.K. book I ever red...
I could not sleep the first night after reading it... that means that I did not get to the part that says that the phone-crazyes do not enter in the houses during the first night XD

@savvy yeah I remember Prentiss, it is just the backstory I can't place. It just reminded me of the Hanlons in It, but in a different novel. Any help?

Its really annoying me now :panic: I seem to remember something like the back story but I'm sure it wasn't in DT books:arg:

I keep thinking of The Eyes of the Dragon
Spoiler:
where Ben Staads dad Andrew loses his farm and he joins the exiles

I have a question about The Breathing Method. Does anyone have any idea who John, the English teacher at the end is? I wouldn't put it past King to hint at someone who appears in other works but I can't think of anyone except John from The Dead Zone.

I have a question about Wizard and Glass. I have the first plume trade paperback edition. I saw on Dave Mckean's website that there were more illustrations from Wizard and Glass. Were there more in the first edition hardback than in the trade paper editions?

BUMP!
I'm still unable to find the answer to this question. If anyone knows, I'd greatly appreciate it.

excellent. Thank you. Wizard and Glass is the next Dark Tower first edition I plan to get. I'll probably have to get The Gunslinger last since it's so expensive. Anyone know why some of the illustrations were removed for the Plume and subsequent editions? Just out of curiosity.

Sweet! Went ahead and edited the wikipedia page for Wizard and Glass so that this information is available to anyone else who is looking for it. :)

I would venture a guess that it was cheaper to leave out some of the illustrations. Just for the record, the UK Hodder & Stoughton trade paperback has NO illustrations.
