The guy from Wings? Do you mean Paul McCartney? Ha ha. Seriously, yes that was blasphemy: the nineties re-make? Ouch. I got it on DVD and will watch it occasionally, because like you I am a hardcore King fan myself. Empry mentioned that one, too, like I told him the ball room scene with King's cameo as an undead conductor made the movie for me but I couldn't stand looking at that kid's lips.

I didn't know King hung out in the airport in Bangor with soldiers, cool. I thought he moved to Florida. Well, a very surprising answer, Banning. I though for sure you were going to go into defense of dark fantasy, given that much of your work is in that vein.

Since I like the movie better does that mean I am not a literary snob? Then I change my mind. Damn it, the book is always better! Ha ha
