As many of you know, I am a HUGE fan of Stephen King. While I often enjoy his books more than I enjoy his movies, that doesn’t stop me from watching them. I have been seeing a lot of commercials for the latest movie to be created from one of his books. The Mist by Stephen King is that movie. I just watched 1408 a little while ago, and I loved it. The visual effects were amazing. One of the better Stephen King movies in a long time. I have not read “The Mist” and I am not at all familiar with the storyline. Since I haven’t read the book, I am perplexed at what I should do. Should I see the movie and then read the book? I have never done it that way before, and it may make the movie more enjoyable.

I have always read the books first so I completely know what to expect when watching the movie. I thought about trying a completely different experience this time. I think I will watch the movie, and then read the book. That should give me a bit of a different perspective on the whole thing. I’m usually not one to break away from the norm, but every now and again it’s a good thing to do.

I’ve got an interesting question (at least, to me) to pose for you.

Here’s the situation:

You can live forever. The catch is: you must murder one person per year you intend to stay alive.

For example: At thirty years of age, you take the deal. Your physical age is frozen at 30. For every year you live, you must take one human life. If you don’t kill within that year, you die. Multiple killings will do you no good. It has to be at least ONE per year.

Would you do it?

Being a big fan of Stephen King, I would love to see him work this into a book. He could make it a great story!

Personally, I think I’d do it, until I got tired of living.

There are just so many people that need killing, I don’t see the problem.
Child molesters, murderers, rapists, drug rehabs, people who don’t use blinkers, the list goes on and on.

Obviously, my answer says a lot about me. What about you?
