Drains still weird me out
From It? I loved the book, and read it voraciously, racing to the end with bitten nails and a nervous stomach...but the end was a massive disappointment to me. Maybe nothing would have worked, for me at least, since the whole "what you fear is the evil" theme was carried out so well (i.e. what one thing could encompass all that effectively), but the end felt like a huge copout.
Still love the characters, though. I had a girl in a day camp where I worked that summer who was completely Beverly to me, minus the abuse. She looked and spoke exactly the way I pictured the character.
Yeah, it should have been harder to kill It, methinks. But was still good.
But then, neither the book nor the movie of The Exorcist spooked me even remotely, so I be weird.
The movie didn't do anything for me either. But then again, neither did Kubrick's
Shining.
Love the book, though.
And my all time fave is It. It grooves on the "the monster is what you fear the most" theme, and I think King is at his best when writing from a child's innocent/sophisticated POV.
Yeah, love that one. I want to read it again.
I just read
The Stand.
That was pretty good stuff, though the last few hundred pages felt a little anticlimactic.
I have mad, mad
The Stand
love. Have since I was a kid.
Even with Molly Ringwald? *snerk*
Especially
with Molly Ringwald!
Well, throw in Lieutenant Dan and Parker Lewis, and it looks like I've got myself an army!
Throws down.

Wow. A girl takes a day off and GWW turns into a brawlhouse!
Feels bad.
I'm sorry. I'll be good.
Takes has-been army and sits in time-out corner.
