I believe Bentley Little thinks he IS Stephen King!!!

Bentley Little
 

I don't think that's a very fair assessment, but that's just my opinion. What Bentley Little books have you read? I can see some King influence in Little's work, definitely, but there are few similarities between their work technically.

PERSONALLY I DON'T LIKE STEPHEN KING THAT MUCH HE DOES'NT DETAIL ENOUGH. AND MOST OF HIS MOVIES ARE TO SLOW TO GET INTO.

Not enough detail? I don't really understand this argument, but maybe I'm just missing something. Hell, that's the thing that's turned me off about most of his later works -- the fact that he goes on and on *too* much, and needs to be edited. Then again, who am I to judge the master? :)

As for "his" movies, you shouldn't blame King for most of them being terrible. I mean, he wrote the original novel, but had *very* little to do with 99% of the movies that have been adapted from his work. MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE he directed, THE SHINING miniseries he may have written the script for, but how many others was he really directly involved with?


I never understood folks who dissed King because of "his" shitty movies. He would probably agree with you about those movies being shitty.
