Everything.

Why are Stephen King adaptations either classics or the worst movie of the decade?

It didn't have enough gunslinging

The man in black is white

Stephen King is a hack author and translate to hack films in adaptions

>>85997287
Because sometimes they actually adapt the source material and with a little artistic flair de-King it
Other times they take it 1:1 and just like the books it's fucking awful

I'd take it a step further. The only good Stephen King adaptation is the one he personally hates the most, because an actual visionary made it something better then he ever could.

THE NIGGER!

I've never read a Stephen King novel. Is he a complete hack? What is so bad about his writing?

>>85997220
What do you think?

>>85998420
Let me put it this way, he inserts himself in every protagonist, and in one book the protagonist actually MET Stephen King.

Idris Elba

>>85998420
He's a very creative person with lots of really cool and unique ideas but his prose is just no good. It's incredibly dry, like reading a phone book or something.

>>85998420
basically the next level up from Rowling

>>85997287
Because Steven King is actually really shitty and when reading your mind forcefully fills in missing detail which is not possible in movies

>>85998646
That's a bit much, I'd say about a head higher than her and that's it

>>85997220
Literally everything
