TSecret Window was exactly what I expected. So I wasn't disappointed, nor overjoyed. Just another ho-hum daptation of another ho-hum story.

King wouldn't be King without writing about writers - he can still engross the reader by masterfully (and it seems naturally) tapping into new interesting elements of the psyche with most of his attempts, and if all we had to read was Dean Koontz's daft rats, Clive Barker's pretentious nightbreeds or Anne Rice's snotty vampires then I'd give up on horror fiction altogether.

Ann Rice's snotty vamps are better ( until/including Memnoch) than anything King has in his arsenal. Especially in the last 15 years. And any King movie adaptation best have a very capable director and screenwriter or it will be shit. If King is involved in one aspect of production, the movie just plain sucks...
