this is one of those movies that I never watched from begging to end. I would see a bit here and part of it there.
the film seems to be on t.v. all the time. I always enjoy it for time I watch it.
it seems to be laid out like chapters in a book. when the chapter ends you put the book down. only to pick up the book land continue to the next chapter.
It always felt like "Stephan Kings Greatest Hits" to me. It's a story that just hits every note we've seen before. This is a shame as it is a very good movie. I just never felt like there was anything fresh to it.

The Missus busts out crying during most of the movie. She is, what you might call, a King enthusiast; read all the books, etc. I have the dubious distinction of having read maybe a quarter of his output, so maybe that accounts for me not knowing where he has repeated himself.
I guess I wasn't motivated to keep up after seeing the movie version of "The Langoliers". Please tell me the book wasn't as bad!
The last King I read was Desperation. Not his best. He can take any ridiculous scenario and stretch it with that unique literary descriptiveness of his.
It can also be something of a quasi-depressing experience, turning the pages on one of his numbers. I remember Christine and those grinning corpses glimpsed through the car windows - George Lebay et al. Creeepee! Wait a sec, wasn't that The Stand?
I liked the book and the movie. In my opinion, the movie was well-acted and well-made. Watch all of it, doggie. Avoid popcorn and have some milk bones while watching.

GEEE WIZ ---- Joan what do you mean no popcorn? just because I'm 30 pounds over limit.
