Stephen King thinks Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is shit.
Because he completely changed everything about King's story and characters. The movie is a poor adaption of the book, i'd be pissed to.

The book was shit, if anything Kubrick made it better
The only way to make a decent movie from any of Stephen King's works is to completely deviate from the source material.

>Because he completely improved everything within King's story and characters. The movie surpasses the book and makes King look like a total hack, i'd be pissed too.
FTFY
Reminder that The Shining was good as it was, because Kubrick deviated from King's shitty novel and actually made it something interesting.

This. Stephen King wrote a shitload of books, and very few of them are even decent. Interesting basic ideas for a lot of them, but you have to change everything except for the basic idea if you want a good movie.
Kubrick made it into pseudo intellectual nonsense with a retarded ending.

It would be very difficult to cast a 5 year old protagonist in a role that would traumatize them for life.
