The Stand - the mini series

Date March 28, 2008

I was hoping to have timed it better, but it just didn’t work out. I know, this post is almost a week old too (well that I should have written it a week ago). But I just can’t stand it anymore.

Sometime ago I recall Stephen King saying he would rather work with TV rather then movies, in context with his stories. When I first heard that I thought “What? No way, you can’t get all the gore and stuff on TV”. I wish I could find a quote of it, but this was years ago, and before the internet took off in any way, shape or form (like early 90’s). At any rate, I still hold to what I thought back then. It just wouldn’t work, he remade The Shinning for TV and, well it rightly sucked, same with his TV version of It. I was sorely disappointed and it just added to my growing dislike for his “progression”.
