Stephen King's Four Past Midnight

I'm trying to get a copy of the Langoliers movie, but can't find it! I agree that most of his movies are nothing compared to the books, but I still like to see the movies after I read the book, I like to compare. After reading Secret Window, Secret Garden and then seeing Secret Window, I was hugely disappointed. The ending of the movie is different from the book, and I much preferred the books ending. It seemed more...right...for Stephen King. If you liked the movie I think you'll really enjoy the book. What are some of your favorite Stephen King stories? Any recommendations? Have you read Rose Madder or The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon? Those are a couple of my favorites.

The Langoleirs is a really low budget TV film but worth a watch if you are are a fan. I must read it now as I loved the movie but I have Depp in my head as the character of Mort lol. I have read a lot of Kings early stuff not so much of his new stuff, its hard to keep up. I have read Rose Madder a few years back, her husband! what a .... well you know. I wold say my favorite books of his would be IT and the short story collection, Skeleton Crew.

It seems like a lot of King movies are low budget. But I saw that David Morse is in the Langoliers and I really like him. You can still picture Depp as mort, that won't ruin the book for you! He works as mort! lol I LOVED Rose Madder. Yeah her husband was BAD! What a creepy character! If you were to read a new King novel, I would definitely recommend Under The Dome. It is super long (1,000 pages) but I loved every minute of it. The ending was a little, unsatisfying but it still didn't take away from the story. His new book, Cell, isn't really worth the read. It wasn't BAD, but if you don't read it you won't really be missing anything. I'm not sure I would be able to handle IT...I tried watching the movie and I had to turn it off before I finished it, it was really disturbing for me. i turned it off during the Chinese restaurant scene with the fortune cookies. When the baby bird came out of one of the cookies, oh I was done! lol I do own Skeleton Crew, haven't read it yet, but I will! Glad to know you liked it.

Nope...just four... "The Langoliers" "Secret Window, Secret Garden" "The Library Policeman" "The Sun Dog" Read any of them?

I realized that "Secret Window, Secret Garden" was one story after I posted it... No, only thing of King's I've ever read is Firestarter.

Hehe yeah, I know now the way I spaced it may have been confusing, but I tried to make it clear! I failed I guess lol. I have not read Firestarter, not sure I have any interest in it. Is it any good?

Yeah I am a huge fan of kings!! I think he is really talented, and he is really good at scaring me!!! I finished Langoliers, I really liked it. And I'm on Secret Window/Garden right now, and I'm enjoying it well enough so far. Both of those were made into a movie. I saw Secret Window, I don't really remember it. I really want to see The Langoliers, if I can get my hands on a dvd of it! Thanks!

I am enjoying the book still. I am almost done with Secret Window Secret Garden and will be moving on to The Library Policeman soon! :) I knew their was a Langoliers movie, but before reading the story I was never really interested in seeing it. Now I really really want to see it but don't know how I'll get my hands on it since it is not available through netflix! lol Thanks!

I didn't know about the The Langoliers movie, I'll probably look for that one soon. Thanks for this information. Hope you are still enjoying the book.

I really enjoyed The Langoliers, and now I hope I can get a copy of the movie somehow. I really want to see it! I am almost done with Secret Window, Secret Garden. The Library Policeman is next. Jim Carey wasn't the lead in Secret Window, it was the more sexy Johnny Depp. :)

I just finished The Langoliers (literally) and will try to get the movie (I just checked on my Netflix and it's not available right now!! ) I did see Secret Window, didn't really care for it. But I also don't remember it much, so it won't take away from my reading of "Secret Window Secret Garden." Esk, you made me kind of nervous about the Library Policeman! lol. Is it really scary, or just graphic? I heard of Different Seasons (had to get it for Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption for my class) but my teacher said Shawshank is the only good story from it. She said the others ones kind of sucked...I guess you disagree! Maybe i'll have to look into it! Thanks!!!

^ My favorite novella from Different Seasons was "The Body", it's the story where the movie Stand By Me was based on.

Yeah my teacher said Shawshank was probably the best, but The Body was okay too. I saw the movie Stand By Me, I don't really remember it though lol

I'm doing the opposite of you! I just finished reading The Langoliers, and now I really want to watch the movie (but it's not available on Netflix!!! Boo!!) I don't remember liking the movie Secret Window, I'm on that novella now. It's okay, but I'm with you, I would have done things way different then he has so far! Thanks!!

He was your daughter's favorite author when she was little???? How little lol I like a ton of his stories. I will admit there are some I pretty much hated (with me it's usually either you love or hate one of his stories) but I go love most of them. I wish I was as talented as him!!!
