Started watching the 2020 version of The Stand. The 1994 production beats it all to hell!

Just my opinion!

1. And the book by King

Is best of all.

2. It is! Read it three times, including the original manuscript.

3. Oh yeah, it really does.

Tom and Trashcan Man just stuck with me. In fact I just might go watch it again. I read the unabridged book not too long ago. I’m a serious King fan. In general writers who know love his work.

4. Easily one of my favorite authors.

6. Never saw the re-make...

I thought the original followed the book very well. And hey! Stephen King was actually in it!

7. Perfect timing to Remind me... Have wanted to read this for a long time. Have 2 ebooks out now....

So I just put a hold on it. About 5 weeks till I get it.

Although I will probably skip a lot of the originating super-flu catastrophic events - having watched my mom with serious asthma, and living through the covid pandemic.... Eeeks, enough!
I'll go mostly to the aftermath.

Also have had on hold the start of the Pines books (Wayward Pines TV series).

9. The beginning chapters are a little disturbing.

10. I'll bet! 😄

It was like - I, who avoid zombie movies, TV shows; went to see I Am Legend in a big theater. What was I thinking?!!🤪😑 Apparently not!
I think bc it took place in NYC my hometown, and I like Will Smith. But still.... Duh! 😄😄

11. The initial chapters do however introduce and define the characters.

12. Oh, ok. Got it. I guess I can quickly gloss over, partly avoid the illness descriptions.

I'll report back in a few months! 😄
