* not comics: I was a huge Stephen King kid like a lot of my nerds of my exact generation. Anecdotally, most of us started with Salem's Lot and seemed to have bailed after Cujo. The idea that there's a good version of The Stand to be put on film at a few hours or a few dozen hours strikes me as an interesting one, but I'm not sure it's possible or even desirable. It reminds me of the way certain people are convinced their favorite comic will make a great movie and it seems upon a second look there's very little that's uniquely film-able.
