    Re: This movie is one of my favorites.

    Book??!!?
  2. Why did King write one story as John Swithen?

    Much has been said about why he was Bachman. I don't know anything about John Swithen or why he decided to use the name?

  4. Re: Sundown by Donald "The Goremet" Kendall

    Ah but he only ever posted 13 times, admittedly his review of 11/22/63 was a doozy... I'll wait until Marsha or GNTLGNT write a book and read that.

    Re: Films That Are Better Than The Book

    The Shining is one of my favourite horror films. If it had been more true to the book... it wouldn't have been nearly as good. What works in a book doesn't necessarily work in a film.

    The bit where the horn honks made me laugh so hard when I was 14 or so.
  8. Re: Has Anyone Ever Told You. You Look A Famous Person?

    Katie Holmes and Superman... Never happened. She looks a bit like Kristen Kruek from Smallville though and KH was in Batman Begins.

    I can't do audio books either. My mind just drifts off after a little while and I suddenly realise I haven't heard the last five minutes and have to go back!

    You're being defensive and taking it personally. Almost as though you ARE Dean Koontz... are you? Sorry Dean.

    From a completely selfish perspective (no disrespect intended to victims of sexual abuse) I feel like my childhood is being stomped all over, all the people on TV when I was little are one after...
  13. Re: Shop names/Business names that make you chuckle...

    Theres a shop in my local mall specialising in tights (British English for pantyhose). The title is not a pun but it always amuses me, I'm not going to explain why it sounds funny to me just yet as...

    I did the exact same thing in February! Really enjoyed them. (and it had a Stephen King quote on the back cover!)
  16. How does Stephen King choose character names?

    Has he ever discussed this? He must have a cast of thousands across all his novels and short stories including characters that only have small roles or are just mentioned. All the surnames can't just...

    No truly fact based lesson ever needed such a defensive question as the 'were you there?' one.

    Re: What non-King do you recommend?

    Have you read 2001, 2010, 2064 and 3001 by Arthur C. Clark? They're really good sci-fi and the first book is a lot more digestible than the film.

    Re: jack Reacher

    I saw the film with a friend who'd read every single book and was really annoyed they'd cast Tom Cruise in the role. When the credits went up at the end he grudgingly admitted that he was pretty good...
  20. Where do King's quotes for other books come from?

    I've just finished (and very much enjoyed) the Hunger Games trilogy, I would never have bothered with it if I hadn't seen the quote from Stephen King on the back. I'd dismissed it as a cheap book...

    Green Mile round the world?

    I wanted to post on the book round the world thread then realised it had been closed, but I really want to say this:

    There are six volumes of The Green Mile. And six major continents.

    To be fair people notice the King books on a bookshelf because there's so many of them. If Harper Lee was your favourite novelist no-one would notice from seeing your bookshelf. If I entered someones...

    Re: The Twins

    The last family that spent the winter there had twin girls who I believe met a sticky end. They're merely mentioned in the book and Kubrik obviously expanded on it.
