She comes off like a 12 year old to me I’m not sure why but I couldn’t even watch this like you said it kinda reminded me of trying to explain something to someone who has no idea what’s going on nor do they care. Have you ever been in the middle of explaining something or in the middle of a conversation when you realize “oh this person doesn’t understand or care” ? I’ve had that happen to me multiple times I have a family friend who’s like that he will talk for hours and as soon as you chime in he just sits there completely silent pretty much not paying attention to you he won’t acknowledge what you’re saying at all. Whenever he does that too me now I just stfu in the middle of whatever I’m saying and walk away then he usually comes chasing after me because he wasn’t done talking he just didn’t want to hear you talk.

Stephen King actually wrote about this in his introduction to The Stand (uncut version). He uses the word "limiting". As in, once you've seen the movie (take The Shining, for example), you'll read the book and be unable to picture anything but Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance. In King's words: "it's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is limiting." Solid point there, I think.

When i was 15 my family moved to Maine from the suburbs of NJ a 45 min train ride to NYC it was 79 an exciting time for the city. It was a depressing feeling to be moving to a farm as a teenager. City slicker, flatlander or greenhorn, were common labels, i was definitely out of my element, but it didn't take long to understand how cool it was to live in a rural setting. Cars, bikes, snowmobiles, boats, lakes, ocean, forest, great parties and Good People who know the value of a hard days work and how to live in Harmony with Nature. What's not to like? As a teenager even the harsh winters were fun. As someone who has lived many places Maine is one of the better places to grow up.

Joe covered a lot of the good reasons books tend to be better than movies, but he missed a **really** important one: When reading, we actually insert ourselves into each character. We're accessing parts of our brain, often in ways we otherwise couldn't, by empathizing with and considering the thoughts and actions of each of these characters. Even though the words are there to guide us, we are the ones creating these characters.

She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a cork board like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew.” I saw the trailer for Stargirl and I thought they did a great job capturing what star girl felt like when you read it, especially because I was familiar with girl they casted for the role, and her uniqueness and weird charm fit perfectly with the character. Until someone commented the quote above. That’s when I realized, anyone watching the movie without reading the book will definitely not have the same experience. The way an intelligent author is able to make a reader feel with words is something technology cannot always grasp.

Watching a movie shows you what something looks and sounds like. The descriptive language an author uses tells you how he or she feels about what they're describing. That's *easily* just as important as what's being described, and it's something visuals don't generally capture. A scene narrated by five different perspectives maybe sound very different each time.

Steve has said several time that he had a good healthy childhood, despite his Dad stepping out of the picture when he was young. But in an interview with his mother she said how Steve witnessed his best friend get hit by a train as a child. The moment was so traumatic for him he black it out, walked home and couldn't remember what happened. His mother pieced it together later on when they found the boys body.

Stephen king’s imagination is awesome. He wrote a few books that are almost foreshadowing of real events. The dead zone, 11/22/63, insomnia. The stand could be an even deadlier version of what’s happening occurring now.The political upheaval that’s going on is something right out of a Stephen king book. Really dark, but really fascinating. The man is genius.
