The Shining miniseries from the 90s

King wrote the teleplay for this and it only solidifies how terrible he is at writing dialogue. One of the most overrated authors ever.

He's a Biden lover, but I'm a fan

I'm not even taking his absolutely retarded political views in to mind. He has good ideas but his dialogue is awful. Hes almost an inverse of Bret Easton Ellis but Ellis at least admits he shouldn't be taken seriously

He always gets the most annoying kids in his tv movies

remember that kid in the movie monster squad with that "stephen king rules" shirt? when i was younger i wanted that shirt so bad

The mini series was so bad. I think i have it recorded on vhs somewhere at my parents old house.

I'm watching it right now out of spite.

I remember the naked tub chick being hotter than in the movie, but that just might be a weird memory I have from being a horny young kid.

I've reflected on my love of King recently. Given all of the terrible adaptations on the big screen makes one wonder....was he ever really any good at all?

yes he was

his books are fine

He could set a scene. But, he can't write an ending. And, you could easily cut at least 100 pages of unnecessary scene setting and exposition from any of his books and still have the same stories. I grew up reading everything he put out. I still love his stuff. But, objectively...
