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?
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.
Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"
Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
I'm thinking Cell also, but like you I think it's just the child's shoe that's leading me there.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

Sounds like BLACK HOUSE if memory serves.

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?
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"
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

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.

There are 18 illustrations in the hardback and 12 in the Plume.
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.
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.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
