    the stand is damn cool and storm of the century is my 2d fav king mini after "salem's lot."

    i just re-read "it" not too long ago. that is a king book that could certainly use a good redo in the mini-series dept. i didn't like the cast in the 90 mini-series at all. i found it very hard to take venus flytrap, john ritter, and the dude from "night court" seriously in those roles.

    I'd be tentatively interested to see where they go with it, though we've seen the "signal turns all us all mad" done a few times in recent years, it'd still be fun to see another one if decently executed.
