funny. i read an article in the local paper today where king blasted 
the movie's makers for warping the plot and story muchly from his 
original short story. paraphrased from king, there is only one scene
in the flick that bears any resemblance to anything in the short,
which you miss "if you go out for popcorn". amusing, anyways. no idea
if this is true as i don't really care to see the film or read the 
short...
