Yeah the Talisman took a bit to get the whole thing revved up but not as bad as how Black House seemed to have draggged on.
I'm surprised The Talisman was never made into a mini-series (I was soooo disappointed by the ending of Storm of the Century) but maybe now, with the second book out, someone will.
Funny you should say that, I was thinking the same thing this summer when I re-read Talisman before I read BH. I think it would be neat to see it as a mini-series but I'm afraid as to how much they will ruin or cut important things out. I don't recall seeing much of Storm but I did see Rose Red (which is funny cause King even mentions it a little in BH) which was really fucked up. I think some of the older movies that they made from his books should be re-done considering all the stuff they can work with now a days. Such as Salem's Lot (could the vampire in the movie be a little more cheesy??!! sheesh!) and Cujo. But I think that my fav. so far from his short stories turned movie was Maxium Overdrive and Stand By Me.
And I'm glad to hear you are working on some fics, now how about getting one of them finished and posted?
I'm crossing my fingers on that. I have so many that I've started and would love to finish, if only myself would co-operate with me to get motivated. I get sidetracked easily =3
