And I always found it funny that, for an adaptation he supposedly hated so much, he ripped off like 90% of Kubrick's visuals for the TV miniseriesGuest wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 6:15 pmI always found it funny how King hated Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation and ended up making a shittier TV mini-series version as a result.

Most of the King books I read were mediocre. I'll give him credit for The Shining. I enjoyed that one. But then I read Carrie and thought it was shit. Same for the Stand. I have a massive fucking volume of The Stand somewhere in my piles of books, and I regret owning that.

Stephen King is mediocre and very overrated. Carrie is a shit book, but De Palma made it a really good movie. The Shining isn't anything special either, Kubrick fixed the shortcomings of the story and made a great film of it.

I assume the actual main character is not the 3DPD that is front and center on literally every related ad banner and other promotional image I have come across.
And whatever the actual books were like, I assume the adaptation is more like Game of Thrones. Probably with more magic.

That's exactly what it is. All these streaming platforms are trying to make their rival to Game of Thrones, except all of them have got to be woke as well. Amazon have this and they're also doing an adaptation of Tolkien's works that promises to be a piece of dogshit. Kikeflix have Witcher which is likewise a piece of woke dogshit.VoiceOfReasonPast wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 10:15 pmI assume the adaptation is more like Game of Thrones
