It's The Story -- Not He Who Reads It


Since Eli Roth removed himself from work on Cell, not much news has come out. Until King made a recent appearance and mentioned that he had just finished a script for the movie. Cool! He also mentioned that he had gotten so many complaints about the end of the book that he "I changed everything."
.
So, uh. . . all the constant readers whining does matter! Does Annie Wilkes really get to decide what will happen to Misery?
.
May I say, simply, that if it's about the story, not the one who tells it -- it is also not about the one who reads it.
.
Since Annie does get her say. . . I might lodge the following complaints:
.
1. The ending of The Mist. That was messed up! Bachmanesque.
.
2. The end of the Dark Tower VII. Constant readers know what I mean.
.
3. Where's the sequal for Eyes of the Dragon? Come on, the Talisman doesn't end, but Eyes just slips off the radar.
.
4. Give us the orginal endings to the shining.
.
5. The death of Nick.
.
Now the deal is: Constant reader, constant complainer, reviewer and so on really shouldn't get a say. The story is simply the story.
.
By the way, it's been a pretty busy week for King fans. Summerized pretty well here:
