Wikipedia reminded me that at one point in the mini-series, Larry mentions Rodney King. The Rodney King beating happened in 1991, so I guess it takes place after that?Groovymarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944693471816971386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685827318837084791.post-31837527155000236272013-01-10T23:09:56.485-05:002013-01-10T23:09:56.485-05:00Maybe when the Library of America gets around to K...Maybe when the Library of America gets around to King, they can reset the startdate back to 1980 (I'd still prefer 1979 or 1978, but 1980 was the original published date). Does anyone know what date they used in the miniseries or comics adaptation?Wred Frighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628263242413308661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1685827318837084791.post-67169761431919674542013-01-10T10:37:19.253-05:002013-01-10T10:37:19.253-05:00I can envision another re-release of The Stand, wh...I can envision another re-release of The Stand, where everything is put back to the 70s, and it's now a retro dystopian novel. In any case, I love love LOVE this book and I re-read it every other year or so. I also have watched the mini-series on Netflix more than once. It's weak compared to the book, but it's better than nothing, and I love to then fantasize about dream-casting an updated version. Maybe it could be a full TV series, a la "Jericho" and so forth. I think I read somewhere that they're making "Under the Dome" into a series (probably my second-favorite King, right after The Stand).Groovymarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944693471816971386noreply@blogger.com
