NOS4A2

[316zombie]

this is one of my new addictions. the other is the inbetween. anybody else watching?

[Alex]

Not yet, but it is on my to do list.

[316zombie]

it's REALLY well done! and has many nods to stephen king's stuff, being based on joe hill's book. the inbetween is good too, but not as good as NOS4A2.

[Alex]

Not really a King fan. His stuff strikes me as ok, but overlong. I'd like to see him to a normal sized novel, but I am digressing.

[316zombie]

joe's work is strikingly different, as is tabitha's. have you read any of stephen's novellas r short stories? curtis won't read the bigger books , he agrees with you, but he likes the shorter stuff.

[Alex]

I've read a couple of his short story collections. 1/4 past midnight was one of them if I recall rightly.

the mist is in dangerous visions, i think, or the sequel. i forget who edited that, bloch, i think...

so far i've only watched the pilot and it looks promising actually, i did buy the book last week as i've never read it or Joe Hill's stuff and hell i've known he's King's son for years.  i'm only i think 30 pages into it, how did you guys like the book/show?

by not reading some of king's thicker novels you are missing out but oh well. not everything by king is good regardless of the decade it came out  in.

i expect the books in the mail over the next few days, but i think i'll wait and read after the season one finale. so far, it's REALLY good. i NEED to know who the actual artist is for vic's drawings, they are superb.

[pennywise37]

it doesn't matter to me if the show is still on or not. i'm now only 45 pages into it so i read a bit more, the book will prolly be better than the show, but when it comes to when they make a film out of a book or a tv show. i try and keep an open mind too cause some stuff i get why it wasn't filmable depending on the book and story. but at times the film and/tv show can be better than the book too. but most of the time the book doesn't

[316zombie]

did you lose the end of your last sentence somehow? 

[pennywise37]

yea i did i guess, i started to say something than i think what i put came out wrong or i just posted too soon i forget which. what i more or less are saying is most of the time you aren't going to love the film or tv show that it's based off of. though it does indeed happen i think i've said on here how i think the film the godfather is i think better than the novel was. 76 Carrie is far far better than the actual novel that is very poorly written and over it's one of king's worst.

though i am grateful for it being a hit as he is as well. i had a chlidhood of growing up on his films and i'm grateful for the novel even if i think it's medicore at best
