Stephen King used to do so much cocaine that he doesn't remember writing Cujo, Maximum Overdrive, or (I believe also?) Tommyknockers

If you've seen Maximum Overdrive it's not hard to belive at all. AC/DC does the score/soundtrack.

Tommyknockers was also batshit crazy.

Tommyknockers fucking Bernsteined me; I swear to god I've seen a Tommyknockers movie, but the internet swears to god that I haven't because no such thing exists

[-] TwinTusks@bitforged.space 9 points 3 months ago

Well, there's a mini-series

[-] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 5 points 3 months ago

Same, it was the two-part miniseries.

I remember it as being pretty good, but it has been about 30 years since I saw it. So I don't know how much I can trust that memory.

I just remember Jimmy Smits strapped into a big satellite dish, going fucking "Scanners" on some people.

Oh I've seen Maximum Overdrive, it's my favourite Stephen King movie. Much better than the book, as long as you appreciate badness
