But yet these movies they have to just throw out everything and condense it to 95 minutes? WTF is that? Cowardly movie making, that 's what. From the studio, from the director, and even from the writer, Stephen King. JK Rowling stood her ground and had movies made that were faithful to the books. As much as I dig King's works, one thing strikes me again and again. He really doesn't give a shit about how his books turn out as movies. After seeing that movie, I have no idea how he can allow that to be made and happily promote it.
