Rereading Stephen King

Rereading Stephen King: week six – The Stand | Books | guardian.co.uk:

'via Blog this' He is able to be the father to Frannie's child.
That's not an accident. Nothing in The Stand is an accident. As much as it's a novel about the battle between good and evil, it's also a novel about fate. These people – the American contingent of the 0.6% of the world's population who survived Captain Trips – manage to meet up in Las Vegas, called from all around by dreams. Did they choose to find each other, or was it chosen for them? Mother Abigail's dreams come courtesy of God; she is his prophet, and she assembles her own biblical-type followers. Pregnant Franny, whose child can assert the human race's survival; the forgiving and ailing Glen; deaf-mute Nick; mentally challenged Tom Cullen, who will save Stu Redman; Larry Underwood, who starts the novel dreaming of Flagg, and is filled with darkness, but somehow finds the light. All the cast are put upon and challenged.

Stephen Kings miniseries about a plauge, its survivors and the battle between good and evil. I just love it! Song by Crowded House called "Don't Dream It's Over".

The Stand (1994). I discovered this Stephen King movie trailer on videodetective.com. I am only posting this because i could not find the original movie trailer of this awesome movie on YouTube.

This epic 4 part, 6 hour, Republic Pictures movie was available at one time on one single DVD through Artisan Entertainment. Artisan eventually got bought out by Lions Gate Entertainment.

You can still find the two disc DVD at such places like Amazon, etc.

While I'm not a big Stephen King fan, I believe this movie is his best work of all time. I turned the comments off because this is not my work. It is only for reference and archive purposes.

Fascinating interview with Stephen King on February 16th, 1997 on the "60 Minutes" program. Also features parts of an interview with Tabitha King.
