| @zik:matrix.org | Hello!
So I just realized that 2001: A Space Odyssey is actually based on a book and I was wondering if I should give it a read as well. If anyone here has read it , what do you think about it?

 dgaletic | oh, TIL | 15:50:22 |
| @zik:matrix.org | ah, I guess we're on the same boat. I heard Kubrick messed with Stephen Kind with The Shining so I wonder how different it is. | 15:54:51 |

| dgaletic | Yeah I think King hates the ecranisation? | 16:11:20 |
| @zik:matrix.org | I had to look up what that meant lol, but yeah I remember hearing about it on that documentary about the Shining if I'm not wrong. fun stuff. | 16:16:16 |
| @zik:matrix.org | this is the one I'm referring to: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085910/ | 16:17:48 |
| dgaletic | Speaking of rooms and King, I liked "1408". | 16:20:05 |
| dgaletic | Though I haven't actually liked any of King's writing I tried. | 16:20:21 |
| @zik:matrix.org | I haven't read any of his books yet. But I've watched so many of the movies. It's crazy how many of his books made it as movies | 16:22:50 |
| dgaletic | Yeah! My fav is Storm of the Century. | 16:23:45 |
| @zik:matrix.org | I liked Carrie a lot even though it sooooo much older than I am | 16:23:48 |
| dgaletic | Carrie is one of the two of his books I tried reading but gave up, his style doesn't work for me. | 16:24:11 |
| dgaletic | the other one was It | 16:24:19 |
| dgaletic | However, his On Writing is an excellent resource for writers. | 16:24:42 |
| @zik:matrix.org | did you like the movies? | 16:24:52 |
| dgaletic | 🤔 | 16:25:33 |
| dgaletic | I think I saw It too long ago to remember it well, and I only saw some of Carrie. | 16:25:44 |
| dgaletic | But I liked a bunch of his other films. | 16:26:07 |
| dgaletic | I like how you can tell it's a King film just from how it feels | 16:26:24 |
| dgaletic | his author's voice comes through even in adaptations | 16:26:36 |
| @zik:matrix.org | I'm kinda jealous I've only ever been able to tell when its Tim Burton lol | 16:27:23 |
| @zik:matrix.org | what gives it away? | 16:27:32 |
| dgaletic | I don't know. :D | 16:27:47 |
| dgaletic | can't put it to words | 16:28:09 |
| @zik:matrix.org | people seem to hate the third act so maybe it's a sloppy ending that gives it away :P | 16:28:57 |
| dgaletic | heh | 16:30:07 |
