Emily and I watched Firestarter last weekend, and I told her "Zeke mentioned this was not a good movie!" After we got done, we agreed you were 100% right! Terrible, terrible, movie. This is sad to hear because I was really looking forward to watching this... I was cautiously optimistic because so many of Mr King's recent adaptations for the screen have been quite entertaining. I agree that there have been some excellent recent Stephen King movies such as It Part 1, It Part 2, Pet Sematary (although I personally liked the 1989 version a little better,) and Doctor Sleep. I would highly recommend all of those movies and I even own It Part 1 and It Part 2 on DVD. but this new Firestarter was absolutely horrible, I have seen 9 movies in 2022 and it is the worst one by far and that is a tall statement as it is even worse than Moonfall and Blacklight Speaking of Stephen King movies, I saw that they are currently making a movie out of the most recent Stepehen King book I read in The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.

I'm honestly surprised it took this long to make that into a movie.

Since I didn't mention this previously, I should also add that King's latest - Billy Summers - has definitely cracked my Top 10... Highly recommend this one. I saw the new Billy Summers book in hardcover at the grocery store this week. It was $30 with a 20% off sticker, but I am currently trying to save money. So instead of buying the book, I checked out a copy of Billy Summers at the library earlier today. It looks like a good book, I look forward to reading it!

Same reason I picked up The Sheik's book that way. Great book so far. Enjoy the Billy Summers book.

At the gorcery store this morning I bought a copy of Just After Sunset to read when I am flying to and back from Italy next week. Pariah, and/or anyone else who has read this book, what did you think of Just After Sunset?
