Road House remake

[lovecraft68]

I liked Kubrick's 1980 The Shining film *A LOT*. Yeah, it left out some stuff from the book (what screen adaptation doesn't?), and Himself wasn't happy with it (he was much happier with the 1997 TV miniseries remake seen by comparatively few, which I also haven't seen), but artists complaining about other artists' adaptations of their works is hardly new. I thought 1986's Maximum Overdrive (which adapted his Trucks short story) was silly fun, in part because he got AC/DC to write a song (and "learn a new chord", he said at one point) for it as well as do the soundtrack. Yeardley Smith got a rare onscreen role. And Himself, a young Giancarlo Esposito, and Marla Maples got parts as extras. Silly fun.

The Stand is my favorite of King's works by far. I liked 1994's TV miniseries adaption, but haven't seen 2020's remake.

Alan Moore got so disgusted with the adaptations from his graphic novels he no longer wanted his name anywhere on the credits. Which was a shame because V for Vendetta came along, finally getting it right. If memory serves me, Moore gave the artist his share of the royalties-not sure that's verified.

It makes sense, its their work, they have the perfect vision in their mind, so anything less is less.

I liked Snyder's Watchmen, but sadly by the time the movie came along, everything shocking about it(the comics were a massive shock back in the 80's) nothing in there hadn't been seen before.

And on topic of remakes HBO's Watchmen was such absolute trash I felt offended by it. An example of changing something to the point just make a new show....oh, wait, then you don't sucker in the base.

The Shining was awesome party because of the great cast. I am one of the few who saw the mini series and...you're missing nothing.

King in general as a person I see as a whiny twit so I pay no attention to his opinions other than giving him credit for admitting since he sobered up, his writing went downhill.

I still wait for some type of drop that his son "Joe Hill" is really King going Bachman again.
