makes it even more pointless the fact that stephen king felt for some reason to remake the Shining into a TV miniseries a few years ago.

I dunno. The Kubrick version was beautiful and creepy, but the TV version was much closer to the book.

I've always thought King's work translated better to the medium of the TV miniseries than to movies.

I'm not a Stephen King fan. I could do without him or his movies in my life.

Kubrick has done some good work though.
