Hey Sup Forums!
I was considering watching the television series of my favourite Stephen King book, Under the Dome. How is it?

Rotten shit. Really: don't bother.

Atrocious, and went on for too long.

it's fucking awful
not even worth it for the qt actresses

Do not do it user, The tv show destroys everything that's good about the book and totally changes characters.
Different people do what another character did in the book.
I would advise not to.
After this cop out from King and having a black guy as Roland, I'm really starting to get pissed off with him selling out .

I've read most of his books.

Possibly the worst book-to-film adaptation I have ever seen. Even manages to be worse than Eragon, by virtue of being many times longer

You can replace Roland with a black man, and I would not give a fuck, but only if the ending is completely changed, and the face off with the Crimson King does not go FULL FUCKING RETARD. Holy shit the last book was a disaster.

>favourite Stephen King book,

I've read everything he's written. Much of it twice. Under the Dome is absolutely terrible and the fact that at its your favorite means you're retarded.

>Under the Dome
>Muh Favorite King Novel

You've either only read one King novel or are a very "special" person

I don't have much faith in the adaptation... in fact I have zero faith in it,
, They'll do it lazy and only show one aspect of the adventure.
I'll disagree with you on the last book, but opinions are opinions.

Plus Roland isn't black, there is no way of making me picture that character as a black man.
Nor do I want to.

>there is no way of making me picture that character as a black man.
>Nor do I want to.

I'm re-reading them for the 4th time and am putting Idris in there. having zero problems doing it, too

I'm not OP but Under the Dome is a top class King book.

Lets change Moby Dick into a Giraffe, lets fuck up all books and not give a shit about the people who have been looking forward to it.
Sorry, I'm not angry at you, I'm absolutely livid about this.
I do get what you are saying. But no, I'm not buying into it.

First season was 6/10 at best.

Cool premise, atrocious execution. Watch Storm of the Century or The Stand instead. Even if you have multiple times already.

His race comes into play, only slightly, in one book. It's not a big deal.

They are going to change much more important things.

Reasonable enough.
imagine many conversations with different people about what actor could play Roland (and casting other characters) over the years and they through this crap at us. I'm really not ok with it but that's my problem.

Oh my God. It's awful. Right up there with Dreamcatcher

Are you more of a Dolores Claiborne person?

Has anyone read End of Watch? Someone borrowed it out the library for me but it had to go back quick because it's a new book and I only got to read 30 pages or something.

I haven't yet. Did you read the other two yet?

is this trilogy any good? seems shitty t bh

Ohhh crap, because it wasn't me who got the book I never looked into it, it's the third in a trilogy, just looked it up. Lucky that it went back then!
I didn't know there were 2 books before it.

I liked the first two. They're detective novels. Still his style and voice, just no spoopy ghosts (ok, maybe a little)

>favorite stephen king novel
movie adaptation when?

it's my favorite too, no idea why it has no movie yet

>Dreamcatcher
I liked dreamcatcher
It was different, but not bad.
Not a fan of Kingkino btw

Because its 90% internal dialouge and would be very hard to put to screen.


A faithful adaption of the running man would be good.

I haven't read the book, but the show was awful....and I loved it. Right up until the final season. They went full retard with the nigger alien being a wedge between Barbie and Julia. It's bad, but it's almost unbearable when they start introducing new people into the dome.
