ALIEN Convenant

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Well maybe King's version is fun to watch, because I remember watching Trier's and being bored, but not just that the Trier himself comes on screen after every episode and talks. So after, I think 2nd episode, he said "some may say the series is boring, but so is life" which was turn off for me. I really don't let entertainers get away with that "excuse". If I wanted to watch something pointless, boring and with no (dramatic) ending I have my own life I don't need to watch it on TV.

I'll forgive you for that, in the spirit of vive la différence and all that - it would be very boring if we all thought the same. I have the first series on DVD, after I got sorta hooked when I caught it on late night television years prior. I really must track down series two; there's a particularly dramatic/comic sequence involving a staff meeting, the senior surgeon Stig Helmer, and a cup of coffee laced with tetrodotoxin intended for his rival that gets lost among everyone else's.

In any event, whether King's version is more accessible or not, it doesn't let him off the hook of claiming it as all his own work. I myself have written a book about a family man who goes crazy while looking after a haunted hotel - I call it "The Glowing".

(Bolding mine) Eerie coincidink.  I've just finished my first draft of 'Moby Prick' (about a gigantic white whale no one can stand) and am currently working on the outline for 'The Murders In The Rue Johansson' (a fantasy is which Scarlett Johansson is murdered by an orangutan).
