Part of why I rarely went to the movies -- I mean besides I always had something else to do. The movies ALWAYS messed up the book.
Only 1 movie was good that had a cameo of steven king in it, that was "Creepshow." Movies that were books written by steven king that were good were "Christine" and "The Dark Half." Please note there was no steven king cameo in those. His cameo's are the kiss of death to movies based on his books.
