Here's a message from Stephen King.

Dear Web Site Visitors,
Those of you who are familiar with the wonderful world of television may have noticed that Desperation — probably the best TV movie to be made from my work — has been scheduled by ABC to run, not just against American Idol, but against the American Idol finals! When I see this kind of scheduling, my heart is warmed by how well I have been treated by all my friends at ABC. One can truly say that with friends like this, one doesn't need enemas. Little joke there. But am I bitter? HELL, YES, I AM BITTER! Oh, well, good work always finds a place in time, and ours may be in the DVD racks eventually. For now, please remember that Desperation airs on ABC May 23rd. Those of you who watch will get a gold star. Those of you who don't, and watch American Idol instead…well, just remember: I have strange powers. I have been watching you all for some time through your computers. (This is actually a power conferred upon me by the Bush Administration.) I watch you when you eat, I watch you when you sleep, and I watch you when you undress. In regard to this last comment, some of you need more stylish underwear, but never mind; the point is, I will know if you watch American Idol and if something bad happens to you, it will be your own fault.
Cordially,
Steve

I will be watching Desperation. American Idol bores me. I e-mailed the above message to BlackThirteen and he said, "That's why Tivo rules."
:lol:
 
I read Desperation and the Regulators back to back... both great.... loved Desperation better... cant wait... Fuck the Idol!!!!!!!
 
Niente!

I WILL BE WATCHING GERMANY 2006! Everything else will cease to exist except Football.
 
I've never watched an episode of American Idol so no reason I'd start then. I'm really looking forward to Desparation. Great book!
 
I fucking hate everything Ryan Fagcrest touches.

I think I am working, but I will def tape Desperation. One of my fav king books.
 
hopefully the movie won't suck.

I love his books, but the transformation to movies usually suck ass, spare a few.
 
I watched Desperation. Man, did that suck!
I think King meant to say it was the WORST movie made of his work.
I kinda regret wasting 3 hours of my life watching that movie.
At least it was better than watching American Idol.:puke:
 
i fucking missed it AND I have still not seen SuperGroup even though VH1 plays it every 15 minutes.

This week sucks for time.
