syscall girl posted:The one that had The Breathing Method, right? Yeah. It's the only story in that book that wasn't turned into a movie, and I think there's one or two other stories with the Story Club in other anthologies, like the one with the guy who wouldn't shake hands.

I dunno if it would work padded out into movie length, but I'd love to see a version of The Jaunt from Skeleton Crew. e: Hmm, well maybe I'll get my wish? http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Stephen-King-Teleportation-Tale-Jaunt-Heading-Theaters-70303.html Didn't see anything more recent though, so dunno if it's still in development or what.

Groovelord Neato posted:unfortunately it fell into the king trap of here's a really loving terrible ending after you just spent 1000 pages reading my book. I had zero problem with the ending, but then I have almost zero problem with the ending to The Stand either. the meth lab fireball just ripping through the town and incinerating everything was terrifying Groovelord Neato posted:problem with pet sematary is it's a 300 page novel stretched to 600 pages (another king trap). Huh? Pet Sematary is only like 350 pages.

My copy of Pet Sematary seems to be well over 900 pages, please advise. A copy of Pet Sematary that just kept getting longer and longer would be an ok King story.

I read part of why they stopped is because it was so expensive to make due to the specialized editing and audio production required to make it sound like crap.

Casimir Radon posted:There are so many of them printed that picking up hardcovers for cheap isn't too hard outside of a few exceptions like the original Dark Tower hardcovers. Yeah, I have most King books in paperback but if I see a hardcover at a thrift store that I think I don't have, I grab it. Rirse posted:I got my copy of It from a yard sale for 50 cents, so yes! That's the poo poo. I got my first King from a hospital waiting room and read most of his other work by grabbing them from yard sales. I think Bag of Bones was the first New King I bought.

I'm still trying to find a paperback version of the original The Gunslinger, with Michael Whelan's cover art. I missed most of Kingchat, but goddamn do I wish more of his stuff got proper adaptations. I don't think anyone else in recent memory has done so much mass market weirdness, and I really want to see crazy poo poo like a kid traversing across time and space to talk to a giant turtle so he and his friends can defeat a murderclown.

I actually got Under the Dome in hardcover because Walmart and Amazon got into a dick-waving contest over the pricing to the point where it was $10 at release from Amazon. It might be the last new physical book I've ever bought and at over a thousand pages long is probably the largest too.

It involves Dean going off on a rant about wet wipes. Dean Learner posted:It's very difficult to find a good quality wet-wipe in any case, because I took Satu to the Ivy recently, and I asked for a wet-wipe and they said 'We don't do wet-wipes.' I said, 'The gently caress you don't do wet-wipes! I'm paying two ton a head and you don't do loving wet-wipes?'
