Re:--I find that most movies adapted from Stephen King novels can't develop ALL the characters in detail like he does, so they wind up falling a bit short.

and here i was thinking "Dolores Clairborne" (is that the right last name?) the movie was so much better than the book.

i like Stephen King's could be possible books better than his "eerie, otherworldly" ones, with a few exceptions. i loved Firestarter.
