Comparison of the movie to the miniseries and which did you prefer?
Haven't read the book yet, should I wait?
Shouldn't Norman be malnourished *spoilers*
Best movie/tv review site other than IMBD?

I'd guess halfway through the season.
I don't think the repairman was real.
I prefer holding a book in my hands, it feels good, I love the smell, the whole shebang. Courtesy of unkind aging, its easier to read on Epub. I also live outside a small village in Michigan, a bit of a drive away from any library.
I had to do a couple hours wait 2 hours drive away, did it in a library out there. Sat reading on my Kindle. Mannnnnnn I miss libraries.
When I listen to audiobooks, its at home or, if I don't have the epub, home or if I'm waiting somewhere. I concentrate too much to do so when driving. Audiobooks make migraines less boring... sit in the dark with a damp washcloth over your eyes, and are still able to read.
Doing a quick look at those Joe Hills, they look up my alley. Thank you!
Edit... woot! Courtesy of a horror loving friend, I'll have Heart Shaped Box and NOS4A2 tomorrow (epubs). Edit again... Noice! I'll have 20th Century Ghosts (audio) in a couple of days. One of the benefits of epubs and audios.
I read on Epub with a less eye punishing color or on audiobook and, I forgot to mention, the above was after re-reading the Dark Tower saga. I have migraines so will swap between epub and audiobook copies. I've become good at finding my place between the two.
I've heard of Joe Hill but not read any of his work. What book would you recommend as a first Joe Hill read?
This was my 1st reading of The Stand expanded (only 2 readings before that of the first version) and was also happy that it's held up so well. I really can't say which is my favorite King novel because it depends on my mood. Today, its the Dark Tower saga, if I had to pick one from the saga, it'd be Wolves. Tomorrow, it might be a different book. It is often The Stand... it hits my sweet spot on so many levels.
I've heard that they are thinking of redoing The Stand and, unless its a mini-series on HBO or something like it, I hope they don't. While I liked the new It and am happy that its doing so well because It'll increase interest in other books, I was less impressed than I expected. This guy [url]http://tinyurl.com/y9eg2z2z][/url] ... summed it up nicely. That's a link to a comment on one of my posts here.
Also, Dark Tower was... bad.
I'm hoping that It's success will overshadow DT's failure and bring some decent adaptations.
I can hardly wait to see Gerald's Game. Before I knew they were filming it, if you'd asked me what one S. King book can't be filmed, I'd have said "Gerald's Game".
You nailed it.
I wish we could "like" posts here.
Yup. Just finished It to boot.
I'm already planning on the trilogy... I just hadn't started it yet.
I think I am definitely going to wait until after the show ends, aim for 4 months. I am in a King mood so I have The Stand to reread, Dr. Sleep, and miscellaneous others. That should get my mind away from Mr. Mercedes enough to hit the novel somewhat ready to look at it with new eyes.
Thank you!
If the two are close, I usually have a 6 month rule to avoid spoiling my enjoyment of both.
I am very eager with this one so I will probably cave at 4 months.
I found Tim Curry's jovialness extra creepy. I read that the cast didn't like being around him on set because he stayed creepy throughout filming. I would have loved to see Tim Curry's performance unhindered by the requirements of 1990 network television, like, if it was done on HBO today. /That/ would have been a thing to behold.
For me, to really be gotten by a horror movie, I need creepiness along with horror.
As a flat out monster, the movie does it better. However, if a monster is always horrifying, is always "on", it doesn't really get to me past the first few times.
