OKay well, of course when I haven't been here in a couple of days a thread gets started like this.... go figure...anyway, I LOVE Stephen King, seen every movie, read every book (at least twice) every short story.. heck I have every hard cover book in print, except for his newest collaboration, adn the Rose Red Diary, which hopefully I'll get for my B'day (hint hint San)..

I've been enthralled with Rose Red, mostly because I know how he likes to hide things in his movies along with referencing at least one or two other books that he's written in the past. Ya'll know he always plays a part in his movies right??? In this case he was the Pizza delivery guy, small part, but he's in every single one.

Just so happens that one of my old student used to live down the street from him, so I got his address and the directions. Haven't made itr there yet, but one day, I'll just get some pix of his house. that would be cool.

I can't wait for the Thursday show, it will answer lots of questions, as he always does, and probably open up a few more....

I watched last nights episode, and I thought it was great! I too have alot of unanswered questions, though...but hopefully Thursday night will clear it up!!!
I would love an autographed book, but I don't think I'd better shell out the money, there are other things I need worse.

EXCUSE ME.....

But when was the last time ANYONE heard Arnold, or Jet or any other guy flick person fart in the movies????? You ONLY hear that in CHICK flick in order to ease the boredom of men DRAGGED to them by their (as AP puts it) SO's...

You also forgot 1 VERRRRRRY important part of a guy flick...
The impossibly young looking female character that gives barbie a run for her money, with little or no lines (doesn't matter cuz who listening anyway) that always manages to have some article of clothing missing during those points at which there is no bone breaking, weapon reloading, blood spilling or car exploding...

Sheesh... get your facts straight goils, it's painfully obvious that you guys aren't subjected to as many guy flicks as we are chick flicks.. I mean really it's happenned so often, that there is even a recognized name...... CHICK FLICK..

How does one get "too" naked in a porn flick... although Ive never seen one, I would imagine that it's a bit impossible... kinda like being alittle bit pregnant...

As for the names Cat has for guy flicks... hey man... whatever your into.....

Hey AP

If I can come up with the cash, and if your going, then I would love it... gotta check with the Joint account owner though.. ya know..

Ken, it was just a joke, and I was just speaking from experience with my hubby and his "guy" flicks...if someone is farting or something is being blown up...he loves it. Sorry if I offended.

The only to books that I have read by Stephen King is Firestarter(The girl who sets things on fire!) and It. I never really finished It because it scared me very badly! I can't watch the movies because I scare easily.

You should try Dream Catcher... It's not really scary and can be a bit slo in the beginning, but the story is good...

did you like dreamcatcher? I really didn't care for it much. I thought it was one of his weaker books.

Now, I went to King's webpage and I looked at all his work. I remember one book I've read but wasn't scary at all. It was the Eyes of the Dragon, a medival novel. It was okay. anybody read it?

I thought it waas VERY hard to get into, and it stayed likr that until about 3/4 of the way into it, but it got better, although the ending wasn't one of his best... all things considered, I'd have to agree with you.

That book originaly started out as an on-going fairy tail for his daughter. I didn't much like because it wasn't his typical work, although I thought the story was good.
