This idiot is very lucky Brady walked away from his accident or he would be moving to Emmett, Idaho right about now.

It could have been worse for him. You don't ever want to hit Stephen King.

He should move to New Mexico and they would make him Governor with that driving record

I don't know. I've read that Brady's bodyguards are a little trigger happy.

True, but King kills with his mind when you think you're safe at home.

Hmmm. Good point. Can't top that one.

So we agree that the guy's a lucky sonofa***** for several reasons.

Yeah, then he'll trash you up and down in his terribly dissapointing, bloated Dark Tower finale.

I knew the guy who hit Stephen King, and he died of heart failure a few years back. You might be onto something...

Yes, yes we do.

Ogunquit, Maine scares me.

That's what he was getting at. And the date he died...

Dark Tower Movie and TV Series, Baby!

I'll give you "slightly disappointing." Anything more than that and it's pistols at dawn.

And that lowlife deserved to get trashed.

Knowing this town... he may still have to.

Eh, I dunno, he really wasn't such a bad guy. He had a pretty rough life, before and after the accident; I always felt kinda bad for him.

You're right, I'm being unfair; I didn't know the guy. King's account of his behavior immediately after the accident didn't exactly make him sympathetic in my eyes, but I wasn't there.

Hmmm, I will reread it one day and get back to you. My expectations were ridiculously high.

I don't get how Mr. Howard plans on doing a movie AND a TV series. Won't one kind of negate the other? A trilogy all filmed at once like LOTR was I am on board with...I wish they had waited for all the Harry Potter books to be out and done that series the same way.

My expectations were as high as yours, and there were definitely some things that irked me (Flagg's exit, for one). Overall, I loved it, though I will readily admit that 5,6,7 paled in comparison to the first four.

It goes Movie 1, then TV series 1 bridges into Movie 2, then TV Series 2 bridges into Movie 3...all of it filmed at the same time. It's, uh, ambitious.

Incidentally, I saw King in Portsmouth last December for a reading of "Under the Dome." Got a signed copy, too, though I didn't get to meet him. It was a cool thing.

No biggie, he certainly was no saint, and he didn't really do himself any favors with how he acted after the accident.

Odd side note, though: when driving through Lovell, it used to be pretty common to see King walking/jogging on the side of the road with a book in his hand. We would joke that it was only a matter of time before someone hit him, but we didn't think that it'd actually happen.

Yes, yes we do.

But Ogunquit is such a "beautiful place by the sea", literally
