I just wanted to post this, no particular reason.
I don't care if I get criticized, but I adore Stephen King. He's an amazing storyteller and is excellent at characterization; though, admittedly, I feel the endings he comes up with leave a bit to be desired, but everything before then more than makes up for it.
He was honestly the one writer who made me really wanna write more than anyone. He was the first writer that I actually read for fun and not just for schoolwork.

They did a phenomenal job with "IT" , despite changing many elements. It's a fuckton more creepier and funnier than the original made-for-TV mini-series.
Personally, I think it's great to see Stephen King has become comfortable with various adaptations that stray from his books.
Movies only draw more attention and introduces them to more readers.
It's when a movie fails to do anything different from a previous, then it is like, Why bother? There have been 3 versions of "Carrie". The 3rd was basically updating the story into smart phone era, but I still enjoy it. I could never get involved in theatre - acting out the same lines would make me insane.
ps There is a #StephenKing theme now for any of your poems inspired by his stories.

Most of the movie adaptations of his books, even those whose screenplays he wrote himself, are pretty terrible and not at all an accurate representation of his actual work.this this this
love settling into one of his books, even if a lot of them now feel like old, familiar territory - he can still have me sitting turning pages on a big fat book well into the night just to finish the story. he has such an easy style of writing that invites the reader directly in.
endings? not so great
his dark tower series is my out and out favourite; i love the connections with his other books, like the other realities glimpsed from the beam
overall, i am always left with the impression that almost everything he's written was practicing for writing the dark tower
read sleeping beauties yet? co-written with his son. i think it shows that there's a different voice going on in there, which i found a little distracting.
