Guys, guys - Stephen King's long awaited mini has arrived several weeks ago and no one has seen it yet?
*I*, for one, already have - and must say it's pretty good, one of these "good" King adaps, with some shocking surprises and Ron Perlman stealing the show. The review's coming soon.

King's TV movies really disappointed me, and he's real hit or miss anyway, so I missed it. May check it out when it comes out on DVD, but I ain't going to a store just to see if that one's there. A pick-up only if everything else in the store I already have.

I thought this was okay. I watched it all when they played it on television. Better than the LONG drawn out mini-series events a King movie tends to have. I liked that it was all on one night.
It's still pretty mediocre though.....

That's exactly the reason why I missed this one-his TV films are just too long to keep my attention through the whole thing. And what with this being mediocre anyway, it's not looking very likely I'll see this sometime soon,

Desperation is only 130 minutes long, so it's much easier to watch in one sitting than most other King's mini-series.

I meant to watch this when it aired on tv, as I had read the book, but completely forgot about it. Will have to try to catch a possible rerun. Maybe the Sci-Fi Channel will show it at some point. I don't see myself running to the video store to rent it.

Well, it follows the book rather closely, so you shouldn't be disppointed with it. Then again - it has all the book's flaws, too (e.g. the poor ending).

Never read the book, so can't compare at all.

Huh. I didn't even know about this. Oops.
