Reading every book, watching every movie, binging every TV show, listening to every podcast related to Stephen King and his vast output.

In Dec of 2021, I turned 50.
It was time for a mid-life crisis.
It was going to be either a sports car or to embark on a journey to revisit a favorite aspect of my youth:

Reading Stephen King.

Finishing the Firestarter remake that was made last year. It’s been a decent film so far. Not blockbuster material, but definitely passable.

Can't seem to reply to his post - but if he sees this, definitely read "Revival". If he likes that, then "11/22/63" should be next!
"Under The Dome" looks good, but is also six million pages long. I've heard that "Revival" is good as well (but bleak).

Well, alright – it’s time to move on to the next blockbuster in the Firestarter franchise.

Since the original story had such a cliffhanger at the end (whatever happened after Charlie spilled the beans to the New York Times???), it demanded some sort of follow-up.

Every single podcast reviewing the 1984 Firestarter film mentioned that John Carpenter was initially tapped to helm it. Much speculation was made about what that would have looked like.

Nice Stephen King Dark Tower reference there.
i do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the names of all the muppets. i shoot with my mind

Dreamed I got a chastising message at work that said, “You should know the names of all the Muppets,” and someone stuck up for me, saying, “I don’t think this one has a name,” and they attached a picture of like a white Gonzo with no eyes

Tonight, I get to watch the first half of the 1984 film adaptation of Firestarter. I don’t think I’ve seen this movie since I was a kid!

But with the book still fresh in my mind, I’m sure it will be an interesting watch.
