The Shoutbox
I haven't seen much of his newer stuff. In the Tall Grass he wrote with his son which I liked. I can do some digging.

Some have been yeah. I mean I liked Misery and Dead Zone was good and I know I've seen other good ones. Some are just garbage. Apt Pupil sounds interesting.

Have you seen some of the newer least known stuff? I really liked Gerald's Game and Mr. Harrigan's Phone.

There are a few others I should rewatch.

A movie is to be enjoyed. Just sit back and take it for what it's worth.

Like they say, Not everyone can be a winner.
Apt Pupil is similar to A Clockwork Orange. You don't go messing with someone's psyche because you don't know who you are really f***ing with.

I have read a few of his writings. I have seen a lot of films based off his writing.

Apt Pupil is a favorite.
I've read three of his novels and like three short stories, and they're all great. Then I watch the movies, and there's always something missing. Maybe I'm being picky.

Yeah

It's based on a short story by Stephen King.
