Can't remember the exact page, think it was during their visit to Topeka after Blaine, but Adam Sandler is mentioned as something like an unknown comic or something similar, does anyone know if King is referring the the actual Adam Sandler from The Waterboy?
He's only unknown to Eddie, who also didn't know about Stephen King in his universe. At the time of W&G, Sandler would have been known primarily from Saturday Night Live and from the movies Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison.
well he wasn't known to "Eddie" cause "Eddie" was a junkie. & it's actually surprising he didn't know who "King" was cause in (1987) they had done a few movies of his by than. my guess is he was just to damn stoned to pay any attention
It's also possible that in Eddie's reality, which wasn't the Keystone, that Stephen King didn't write The Shining, which was something Eddie was familiar with.
or "Eddie" was like one of those people who have seen "King's movies such as say "Shawshank Redemption" or "Stand By Me' & they see it many times over the years. & they find out that it was written by "Stephen King' & that what the hell? he wrote that?
cause not everyone reads the credits while watching a movie. i do but not everyone does. & yes i'm sure there are people like that. & since he was a junkie he may have seen the film of 'The Shining" on tv while stoned out of his mind. & therefore remembered watching it. this is just all guesswork you understand
The suggestion in the later books seemed to be thatQuote:
