Hearing Morgan Freeman's voice read the plot summary for "The Stand" was absolutely brilliant!

Next for today is a recent The Kingcast episode about The Stand featuring voice impressionist Josh Robert Thompson (who does a really good Matthew McConaughey).

Stephen King said this about making a network TV-series about "The Stand":

"People have told me that The Stand would make a great TV miniseries, but I just can't see the end of the world being brought to you by mouthwash and toilet tissue."

That's funny, because I remember this nuclear holocaust made-for-TV film in 1983 being one of the biggest events on television ever!

Day 573
=======
This morning, I'm reading about Mick Garris's adaptation of "The Stand" from 1993 in "Creepshows: The Illustrated Stephen King Movie Guide".

#TheStand #StephenKing

I know Mick Garris is something of a legend in the King world. I really thought his handling of #TheStand in the 90's was masterful. But The Mangler and the TV Series version of #TheShining were low points for me in my journey so far.

There still a couple of adaptations of his that I still have to see: Sleepwalkers and Riding the Bullet come to mind. So I'll see if his legend is cemented in those works later on.

Derry Public Radio is more of a split mind when it comes to Firestarter. Most thought it was great, but one was less than impressed.

A cool observation though:

"You believe that happy crappy? Don’t tell me, I’ll tell you."
- The Kid, from #TheStand

“Don't tell me, I'll tell you.”
-The cabbie, from #Firestarter

Are they related? 🤔

#theStand 2020... Folge 2... wenn man das Buch kennt, ist der Zusammenschnitt gewöhnungsbedürftig. Und wie immer frage ich mich, ob man den Plot erfassen kann, wenn man die Bücher nicht kennt... 🤔

It’s okay for a mini-series. Not great, but interesting enough. Kinda slow to start, but builds up some along the way. Some scenes are a bit graphically violent but not overtly gore. Kinda interested in reading the book. Need to remember that for King, the journey in the story can be more of the point.

The Stand (2020–2021)
After the world is in ruins, due to a man-made plague, a battle of Biblical proportions ensues between the survivors.

It doesn't count as an Easter Egg when its a blatant ripoff.

Here, the books store clerk blatantly rips dialogue out of Harold Lauder's mouth from #TheStand.

Johnny has a painful fall down an embankment and wrecks his leg. A callback to Stu Redman from #TheStand perhaps?

Needed some optimism.
So I'm watching "The Stand" again.

So Twitter is Flagg's Las Vegas, and Mastodon is the Boulder Free Zone in Colorado, right? #StephenKing #TheStand

Stephen King in **1978**!
