Hey, night owls: "The Dead Zone" is about to start on TNT (3am EST) |
|
Great Christopher Walken, with Martin Sheen doing a creepy alter-ego of his President Bartlet. Excellent movie.

I am a King-o-phile, and I can tell you that most everything after "It" but before "The Regulators" is the low point of his work. His short stories are superior - Different Seasons and the Bachman Books are the apex of his talent. Firestarter is also quite good. The early stuff is best.

What you said.
My favorite Stephen King "reading moment" (ok, all night reading marathon) was when I was 16, in the hospital with the flu and stayed up all night reading...........I'm sure you can guess which one.
Of course, many years later when he had much more clout and much less sense, he put out the unabridged edition of the same book. I happily read it again but it actually gave me a far greater appreciation for his editor.
