I completely forgot Jake was a nickname, and he was actually named John by his parents. Huh.

Looks good, although Randall Flagg’s face doesn’t really fit my mental image of him.*
*Yeah, I know, he can look different to different people, anyway.
I hadn’t heard of The Vulcan Reporter either, but this is the second item of (likely) fake news I have read tonight from them. The first news was that the British superhero comic book series The...
This is true :lol:[/QUOTE]
Heh. I really got the impression Kate Mulgrew enjoyed herself in that role.
That was interesting, but I'd have preferred they hadn't mashed up The Gunslinger with Wizard and Glass like that. And not keen on the character changes either. I don't mind them starting with...
It's news to me as well! The outline in the first article looked promising too. (The second link seemed to take me to a completely different article.)
Mixed feelings. A faithful series would have...
Heh.
Here’s my take on it:
Having opened all his mind boxes, all ghosts were there and came for him at once. He was overwhelmed and possessed quickly by the Overlook. In the case of his father, it was a...
I think this is the only published King work (aside from some short stories and poetry) I haven't read.
I have seen the film though. I can't say how good an adaptation it is, for obvious reasons,...
That would be good, but I think it will likely be set in the present day. (Those locations would still work.)
Might not be a bad thing, mind you, done right. You'd need to get round the fact a...
Hmm. So series 2 will jump to the events of book 3 (or do its own thing)? Essentially keep the series Brady centrified?
I guess I can understand that, considering the focus of much of book 2 was...
Wow. Fast. I haven’t even read the novel yet!
Coincidentally,* this very day, (just 2-3 hours ago, I’m still in a Cafe in town right now) taking the countryside walk into town, I was walking a path between two lakes, and there, strewn across the...
I started this a while back, but finished it early this morning. I didn’t dislike it. The premise was interesting, and I enjoyed it well enough while reading it, but I didn’t feel strongly inclined...
I read Laurie a couple of days ago. A very touching sweet story, I thought. (Even including the dark stuff.)
If this is a precursor to The Outsider, what’s the betting the neighbour was not...
Interesting! Coincidentally I’ve been working my way through the the two seasons of Riverdale on Netflix*. I haven’t got to that episode yet. Looking forward to it.
* I only started watching it a...
Yes, I think The Stand would fit an episodic series format very well.
I liked that a lot! Wonderfully atmospheric. (As for the placement of the eyes, isn’t his head tilted upwards?}
I hope we get a nice cover in the UK. Outs tend to be a bit generic, although the...
Wow. That... is something special.
Heh. Really good point about the 'throwing shoe' bit. I felt he was way nitpicking a lot of those points though, but it was amusing, overall.
