Last weekend I watched about 75% of "The Stand" on TV. Not only was it a creepy movie, but EVERY time they cut to commercial, they showed that guy's dying mother sitting up suddenly, and that one guy morphing into the devil, and then a five-second ad for some new Stephen King thing they're showing later that night.

It was kind of creepy. Certain parts echoed in my mind a bit.

Then last night I had a dream that everyone on the planet was dying off or disappearing. Except me. I don't quite remember how it happened...

All I can remember is that I gradually learned that the survival rate was about 5%, and not the two-people-per-city sort of thing. I found out that my entire family had survived, and we were all at my grandparents' house. I found a lot of people still on the Internet. At that point it was actually kind of cool. Then I turned on the TV to see which TV stations were still airing, and CNN was being anchored by some marketing manager who had no idea what he was doing, and was trying to talk about Death Row inmates or something totally other than all the disappearing people. The phone still worked.

It got tot he point where, when I woke up, I wanted to turn on the TV just to confirm that this hadn't really happened, but not so much that I was willing to get out of my comfy bed.

Ever read "Girlfriend in a Coma" by Douglas Coupland? It's creepy and yet a bit cheesy at the same time. It deals with mass population death as well.

Yes I have. It was such a terrible show, it couldn't creep anyone out.

I said a bit cheesy... not so much cheese that it would force Kibo to leave the country for fear of being engulfed by the cheese.

King movies on TV

Why is it when a major network shows a major King movie, they always showcase a few spoiler scenes of upcoming action before a commercial break? What the hell is wrong with them?
