As a second generation Stephen King fan (My Mom was reading “Christine” while she was pregnant with me and liked the name of one of he lead characters, “Leigh”), I think that his work often smacks of Christian themes. THE STAND is the best example of that. There is always darkness in his books but it’s often defeated with humility, fellowship and simply doing what you know is right even when you have to pay a great price for it.
Thanks for the article!

I have to admit I haven’t seen either the movie or the miniseries. Its been on my “to watch” list for years. But when your backlog of movies, TV shows and so on gets to the 300+ stage I think I just have to admit to myself its not a “to watch” list anymore but a testament to not having time (in this season of life anyway).

Dare I say that the Kubrick version isn’t a very good movie? It’s straight up boring. The identity issue doesn’t come through in it at all, really, because Jack is already creepy at the beginning. Kubrick wasn’t much of a storyteller.
