This is completely unrelated to Nietzsche, but that reminds me of this

And to add: In the "X Marks The Spot" book, (which I started reading
Laura because of the interesting things you've shared) it states:
"This episode (Chinga) was written by horror guru Stephen King, although
Chris revised the entire episode as it orinally read like a feature film
script, and would have been impossible to shoot within the eight-day
schedule."
--Donna <--who just happened to be reading that very part...
laura capozzola
I like the part in the book where crazy naked guy comes out of his house
to yell at them for filming so late.
I always think Stephen King needs lots of time to tell his stories
effectively. I like most of his stuff that gets aired as a multi-part
TV special/movie. He usually needs more than even the 2 hours that he
gets in the movies. That's why I think those are not that successful.
He just needs more time.
I still wish he'd do "The Long Walk." There are so many good young
actors who could be cast.

And William B. Davis as the principal. IT is one of my small arguments against
King investing himself too heavily in miniseries for his his story vehicles.
If he sticks to network programming, he's faced with censorial standards which
can and do dilute his work. In the case of IT, the gangbang was completely cut
which, for me, was integral to explaining the unity of Losers. I am strongly
in favor of King working with HBO or Showtime if he wants to pursue television,
but I think to work in network television would be a poorer choice.

*That's* why I didn't watch it. Really. There are some of his stories I
won't watch because I can't imagine any movie doing it justice. "It" was
one of them. Scared the b'gezzes outta me.
Salem's Lot, The Shining <imo> did not make the transistion from book to
movie very well. Carrie did though.
However, SK stories like Cujo and Christine although not the greatest
movies in themselves made a fine transistion to film I thought. Many of
his novella's also would work well.

True. But I still think that much of what SK writes is 'censor safe' and
would work well for TV (as in mini series, due to time contraints)

For quite some time I was an advocate for Apt Pupil to be brought to the big
screen. Good God, how can you mess up such a great story? Yet, somehow it
happened. It amazes me how, with King stories, sometimes the most obvious
successes are failures and vice versa, imo. The Night Flier, a story I like a
lot but not too much, turned out to be one of the best of the King movies I've
had the pleasure of seeing. The best SK, imo, was Dolores Claiborne (based on
a rather mediocre book, imo).

Here's one that's too cool for school: I hear that a PBS station in Maine is
filming/videotaping/transfering into moving pictures King's short story "The
Last Rung On The Ladder" and when King found out, he gave them like $20,000 or
something. I'd also like to see Survivor Type made into a big movie. Hey, now
there's a DD role! He plays Mulder and my favorite Mulder episode is either
Little Green Men or Paper Hearts.

>>movie very well. Carrie did though.
I enjoyed Salem's Lot . The ratings in 1980 or so went thru the roof around
Halloween . I thought the movie was better than Carrie .With King's injuries
from his accident , it may be years before he writes again ?

I read The Langoliers first and then I saw it. I believe it was in a
huge sized hardback book with 4 stories and that one was the first
story. I liked the book better than the miniseries although casting
Bronson Pinchot as the rotten guy actually worked out pretty good
because you just kept wondering where Balki got this mean streak (which
is probably why he wanted the role).
I would like to see "IT" as a mini series
> also.
"It" was a miniseries. That's the clown one, right? It starred the
actor who played John Boy Walton (Richard Thomas), Harry Anderson, John
Ritter, Tim Reid, Annette O'Toole and Tim Curry was Pennywise. I just
looked it up on the IMDB and it says that Seth Green played one of the
characters (Anderson's) when he was 12 years old. There's a popular
actor now named Seth Green, isn't there? "It" is 10 years old. I think
it also came out in video.
> I thought the movie "Stand By Me" that came out of his novella "The
> Body" was also a thumbs up. :P
Yeah, that was pretty good.
laura capozzola
Have to agree. When Salem's Lot originally came out as a two-parter it
was really good, and that's my all-time favorite Stephen King book which
was actually the first Stephen King book I ever read and he wasn't very
popular at the time I read it, either. Salem's Lot, however, did not
stand the test of time.
Personally, I didn't like "The Shining." But, "Quitters Inc." with Alan
King and James Woods, as part of a conglomeration of SK stories that
were made into a single movie, was just as good as the short story.

Seth Green is (was) Oz on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
He played Scott Evil in the Austin Powers movies.

I only remember Harry Reems (and only one part of him) and Linda
Lovelace from "Deep Throat." The actress who was Linda Lovelace married
a cable guy and lived in the next town to me on Long Island. I
recognized her in the supermarket one day but didn't say anything. I
later read that she had disappeared from the porno spotlight and lived
with her everyday husband on Long Island so I knew I was right. Her
book, "Ordeal," was a pretty good read. Oh wait a minute, you meant
"Deep Throat" the X-Files ep, didn't you? ;-D To be honest with you, I
have no idea who Seth Green is other than I've heard his name before and
even though I now remember the character, I wouldn't match it with the
actor, Seth Green. Now, if he had a memorable body part like Harry
Reems...maybe he would have stuck in my head. ;-D

Hey, you've seen the TAMI show? Recently? On TV? How could you not
remember James Brown from that one. I haven't seen that movie (and it
