In the Halloween special he did for TCM this past year, he takes a few potshots.<br /><br />Oh, well. In the vast majority of his thoughts and opinions, Stephen King seems to be a rational, sensible, and nice fellow.

Maybe he just hated Kubrick as being a "Film" and not a "Movie" maker?<br />It's weird that Steve would be snooty saying Kubrick didn't "get" the Jack character, ect. So he in essence was being snooty about his horror story.<br />I don't know it's weird.<br />Could have been the cocaine.<br />-mikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175798629534874434.post-34805184978841811102012-01-20T19:01:15.480-08:002012-01-20T19:01:15.480-08:00I love Stephen King. He is my boy, no question.
...I love Stephen King. He is my boy, no question.<br /><br />However, I've never been able to take his side when it comes to Kubrick's movie. I get why King would dislike it, but in so many other instances when talking about movie adaptations of books (both his and other authors') he just kinda shrugs and implies that books are books and movies are movies and there's no need to worry about it much past that point.<br /><br />That's a very logical and reasonable way to look at it, of course. So why is he so unable to do that with Kubrick? Personally, I think far greater harm was done to King's work in something like "Bag of Bones," which omits huge chunks of the emotion that make the novel work so well. <br /><br />So does Kubrick's "The Shining," of course ... but it has superior technical artistry to make up for that, whereas "Bag of Bones" has only a decent Pierce Brosnan performance to fall back on. Numerous King adaptations have had similar problems, of course, but as far as I can tell, King doesn't seem to mind any of those (except "The Lawnmower Man," which he sued to have his name removed from).<br /><br />Why, then, the continual poo-slinging toward Kubrick?<br /><br />Seems like a bit of a shame to me.Bryant Burnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189356171455609865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175798629534874434.post-45809918513952375322012-01-20T15:55:31.836-08:002012-01-20T15:55:31.836-08:00The movie is a Masterpiece.
