Has @Donald_Petersen seen THIS?

  1. Riding the Bullet

Mick Garris directs Jonathan Jackson, David Arquette, and Barbara Hershey in this adaptation of King’s first e-book. It’s about a hitchhiker who takes a strange ride on the way to visit his dying mother… and you’d be much better off reading the story than watching the movie.

  1. The Shining (1997)

Another one from Mick Garris, who is no Stanley Kubrick, starring Jake Weber, who is no Jack Nicholson. This six-hour TV remake was touted for being more faithful to King’s book; King, who famously disliked Kubrick’s version, wrote the teleplay this time around. But how do you compete with a pre-existing masterpiece? And why would you want to try?
