    Stephen King stuff is so hit or miss...Film- & TV-wise seems like other people do better with his work than he does personally. HBO's recent show The Outsider was excellent.

    It was, despite the many changes made to the character of Holly Gibney. I think most of the film misses on King's work simply stem from the fact that movies cut too much meat from the book in order to fit the film into a a couple of hours. The Outsider took the time to let you get close to the characters and it showed.
