he made TWO movies based on books that were better than the books which is insane, The Shining (some people might disagree) and A Clockwork Orange (anyone who disagrees is a goddamn moron)

All Steven King is better on film than in print.

well Shawshank Redemption certainly is too and writing TWO things where the film version is better is crazy

Delores Claiborne is a third. King is about characters and their interactions, it works gloriously well on screen.

That's sounds like Kubrick to me.
