Janet0312 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Interesting to know what my fave author likes to watch. I'm not particularly into horror stories, but am confidant that when I pick up a Stephen King novel, I know I will not only get a good story, but the grammar and punctuation will be spot on. There's a book club at work that likes to read werewolf and vampire stories, but the authors stink. Good for 16 year olds, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpompper Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I belonged to a book club once. It lasted for only a few months. The books the women selected really didn't appeal to me. Then, I wanted to discuss them critically (but politely) -- and they just wanted to talk about how much they loved the books. Guess I don't play well with others. . .

sfpcc1 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 If you want to know Stephen King's thoughts on Movies, Tv, Bokks ,etc, you might want to pick up Danse Macabre, (although it's close to 30 years old.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet0312 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Got Danse Macabre. His Book "On Writing" is more entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 "Danse Macabre" is good. My biggest gripe about King( and not really HIS fault) is that movie makers rarely translate his books into movies very well. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest gripe about King( and not really HIS fault) is that movie makers rarely translate his books into movies very well. The 1997 tv mini-series remake of THE SHINING is...IMHO...better than the 1980 Kubrick/Nicholson movie as far as how it tells the story. Possibly because King himself was directly involved in the production of the remake. The second remake of CARRIE coming out next year (there was a 2002 tv movie already, as well as the original 1976 film) is still not portraying Carrie as she was written in the book: a somewhat homely and overweight girl.
