Lil...you know me pretty well, right? I barely EVER get to see a movie in the theatre. So, what I do get to see is probably better to me than to some of the more critiquie (word?...is now!) type of people who have seen as many movies as Siskel and Ebert (yeah...I know Siskel is dead...but I prolly ain't seen a movie since he had a chance to critique it...lmfao!).

Anyway...my point? I get to see movies when they come to "On Demand, Pay Per View" or on regular TV. I love Stephan King and I've never liked any of his books that they've made into TV movies!

I was a "Tommy Knocker" addict! That book (as do most of SK's books) had me paralyzed till I could finish it. I had to take it everywhere I went. I ignored people I love just to read one more paragraph. I snapped at Mr. Lixy when he rushed me out of his mother's house and I left the book behind...and, I made him drive me back so I could get it!

When they announced that they were going to make it into a movie for TV...I was all over that like white on rice.

IT SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry...but any story they do of SK's...just doesn't translate when they do the screenplay!

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE DO JUSTICE TO A STEPHEN KING BOOK!
