Tracey has to work late this evening so I have saved the new #StephenKing horror DVD to watch while she is at work. I also have a back-up scary movie in case I have time for two. Nothing like scaring the tar out of yourself on purpose on Halloween!

Odetta, widely honored as the “Voice of the Civil Rights Movement” died Tuesday, Dec. 2^nd at age 77. Odetta Holmes was born in Birmingham, AL, on Dec. 31^st, 1930, in the depths of the Depression. The music of that time and place - particularly prison songs and work songs recorded in the fields of the Deep South - shaped her life.

Odetta Holmes was also the name of a character in the Dark Tower book series authored by Stephen King. Perhaps some insight into Mr. King’s belief in civil rights and those who helped proclaim them.

My favorite author is #StephenKing. I recently discovered his son is writing now too. I bought one of his books and I think he’s not too bad —— I also think it is probable his Dad is helping him edit.

He is writing under the name Joe Hill and will probably soon add his real last name since the two books he has written so far are doing very well. It has to be nice to have a rich, well known father!

I am a fan of #StephenKing’s writing. I think I have read everything he has published and most books more than once. For this reason I usually watch the movie and television adaptations too. I really tried to watch the current TV series Under The Dome. The book was a little weird, so is most of King’s stuff, but this TV thing just plain sucks. It boggles the mind how ridiculous the writers have botched the most basic aspects. Tracey and I forced ourselves to watch the first few episodes but now there are several on the DVR and we will probably delete them without watching them. If I were King I would be totally embarrassed to have my name associated with this travesty.

We watched the 1^st episode of a made-for-TV series the other evening. The Mist is supposed to be based upon the short story by #StephenKing.

I am an avid fan of Stephen King’s writing and almost always disappointed by the TV versions of his work. I understand he is well paid for his original work and again for the rights, but I think most of his real fans find these adaptations to be lacking.

The last time I was this disappointed was the TV series Under the Dome which at least had a passing resemblance to King’s story.

In my opinion The Mist just plain sucks. Completely. If you have read the original I think you find this series puzzling to say the least.

Spoiler Alert!
This link will take you to my explanation of only some of the reasons why the 1^st episode (I may not watch another) was so utterly disappointing to me.

I watched The Dark Tower yesterday on DVD. I am so glad I didn’t waste any time and money watching it at the theater. It is the worst movie adaptation I have ever seen. Absolutely. The. Worst.

I would imagine anyone who has read the #StephenKing books would be as thoroughly disgusted as I was. I almost turned it off after about 30 minutes but decided to simply realize it had nothing to do with the books and just try to enjoy the special effects. Maybe some day somebody will make a real adaptation of the books.

I started watching IT: Chapter Two yesterday afternoon and had to stop after about 15 minutes. I tried again today and soon gave it up. It is so far from the plot #StephenKing wrote in the original I can’t stand to watch it. I understand creative license, but why bother to take the name if you twist the plot around backwards?

An obvious riff of [Don’t Fear] The Reaper by Blue �yster Cult

I also love this song as it was featured in the movie The Stand,
based on the book by my favorite author, #StephenKing.

In 1986, the Robert “Rob” Reiner coming-of-age film Stand By Me was put into wide release by Columbia Pictures. #RobReiner #StephenKing

Wasn’t impressed —— the book is better.
And Stephen King got little credit for writing it.
Rob Reiner is completely off the rails Blue MAGA.

My brother Alan texted me an interesting link about a #StephenKing documentary: Stephen King: A Necessary Evil. Since he is my favorite author I decided to watch it.

I was not a all impressed with the woman who narrates it, but there is so much live footage of Stephen it is easy to form your own opinions without her leading questions and bias. He is a bit weird but I love the way he writes.
