I re-watched the original after having not seen it in decades. It has not held up well. Comes off as low budget even with its big-name talent. It certainly has its moments but mostly cringe worthy...

I don't remember that either. Can you refresh my memory.[/QUOTE]
There is a reference in the epilogue (page 527 if you have the 1st edition). I believe there is an earlier reference but can't...
What are you referring to?[/QUOTE]
There are numerous recent examples of debates about the role of government vs parents in making decisions regarding children. Do you really want to go down...
If you have extremely low expectations, then you won't be too disappointed. There are a few unintentional Ed Wood-like moments like the scene with the cat, but this is basically typical soulless...
Demystifying Pennywise by filling in a lot of background material is the typical lazy Hollywood approach. There is no plausible explanation for Pennywise. That's part of what makes him interesting....
Reading that the axe used by Jack Nicholson in The Shining is going on display at the Stanley Hotel. Part of a " film museum" to be incorporated into the hotel. Someone apparently purchased it for...
I had forgotten or didn't realize that the concept of the "Outsider" was introduced in this book.
I know but CAN you blame him? Its his son. WE would all do the same brother.[/QUOTE]
I think the frustration is mostly at the incredible delays in releasing many books. Some that reach back for...
Just started re-reading this BoB after completing Insomnia. What strikes me is how much tighter the writing style is than Insomnia. Insomnia was often a long-winded book that should have been 100...
Dark Regions Press has them listed on their website. 12 items left.

Thanks for posting. I was able...
It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. King is entitled to his opinions just like anyone. It is the endless nature of it. Completely obsessed on the topic. Tiresome.
I kind of like how the abortion issue is handled in Insomnia: King gets irritating when politics overlays the story and characters like ugly paint on wood (lime green paint doesn't help the bookcase...
Ralph Roberts is one of King's more likeable characters. I always envisioned him being played by Jack Lemmon. The book itself is middling. It's unfortunate that it contains so much in the way of...
Not to judge a book by its cover, but I really don't care for the version being shown by B&N which I assume is the final version. Seems more appropriate for a Murakami-type novel. The plot doesn't...
Two new books coming this Fall. Wow.
The tiresome political commentary of the book is unfortunate, but predictable. King is like the old guy in the neighborhood whose favorite activity is yelling at the kids to keep off his lawn and he...
Nice to see the book dedicated to Marsha DeFilippo who was the moderator on the old SK forum.
I had forgotten all about "In Sunlight or In Shadow." And that has only been pending six years or so.
Memories, light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories of the way we were.
It is going to be published by CD. There is a blurb about it on their Production Updates page.

Thanks! It's harder and harder to...
Any plans for Alabama Booksmith to have a McCammon signing for the upcoming book? That's a great source of signed trade editions.
