How is the 1979 Miniseries not good, Op?

>>212370284 (OP)
I like Chapelwaite. It would've been 10/10 without the forced racial drama, but I liked it anyways.

>>212370284 (OP)
what is it called?

>>212370384

It took the time needed to make you care about the town when shit gets real. The 2024 version is beyond awful writing.

>>212370284 (OP)
miniseries will work so well. But they probably will fucked them up

>>212370557
>>212370384
the 70s series is the most boring shit I ever watched in my life.

>>212370585
Vampire kids were creepy, but overall it is quite boring.

>>212370384
haha NO

>>212370557
Face the Master!

>>212370284 (OP)
i like it as it is. A masterpiece not ruined by jewliwood

>>212370284 (OP)
Uh The Shining, Misery, The Stand and IT are all better works.

>>212370284 (OP)
The part where they unknowingly deliver a casket with a vampire in it was one of very few book scenes that's actually scared me. King can really write sometimes but he's put out so much trash it's easy to forget that.

>>212370284 (OP)
that's not Desperation or The Regulators, though.

Once he was off the blow and booze, he dipped severely. Only modern ones I kinda enjoyed were Doctor Sleep and the JFK one. I have yet to read anything as frantic as The Shining, though.

>>212371886
You're absolutely right about him getting off the blow, the dip in quality in The Dark Tower is astounding.
You absolutely need to read The Shining though, it's one of his best works and written while he was drunk and high 24/7.

Dean Koontz > Stephen King and yet somehow we have never had a good Koontz films meanwhile Stephen HACK has had master film makers like Kubrick create kinos like The Shining.
Make it make sense.

>>212372157
>>212372755
I think Shining is one of his worse books and one of his worse movie adaptations

>>212372157
Wasn't all just the sobriety with Dark Tower though, the series takes a full retard nose dive in the first book after his accident. Makes me wonder what we would have gotten if he didn't get his brains scrambled by a speeding truck. Certainly not a story about a crippled nigger throwing metal frisbees at doctor doom wolf robots wielding literal lightsabers and throwing harry potter quidditch bombs.

>>212372755
I liked Odd Thomas.

>>212372157
I have read it you dummy.
>>212372851
No shit the tv movie sucks dick but how can you possibly say the book is bad?

>Smith told friends later that he thought he'd hit 'a small deer' until he noticed my bloody spectacles lying on the front seat of his van. They were knocked from my face when I tried to get out of Smith's way. The frames were bent and twisted, but the lenses were unbroken. They are the lenses I'm wearing now, as I write this.

>Smith sees I'm awake and tells me help is on the way. He speaks calmly, even cheerily. His look, as he sits on his rock with his cane drawn across his lap, is one of pleasant commiseration: Ain't the two of us just had the shittiest luck? it says. He and Bullet left the campground where they were staying, he later tells an investigator, because he wanted 'some of those Marzes-bars they have up to the store'. When I hear this little detail some weeks later, it occurs to me that I have nearly been killed by a character right out of one of my own novels. It's almost funny.

Life imitates art.
