See, Romero made changes that were at least as bad as those Anderson made at first (the first Resident Evil movie is a better prequel than the prequel game, although that's not saying much because it sucked). His versions of the characters are almost as far out of character as what Anderson did later on, and his complete and total lack of knowledge when it comes to firearms is displayed in full force. We manage to miss out on any political message, amazingly, but it still would've been a bad film.

With King, my biggest complaint in regards to his views on religion is, if he just has a problem with the obnoxiously fundamental ones, why are those just about the only ones you run into? Look at Cell or "The Mist (which is also a terrible film): the only Christians you run into are irredeemably evil people. Even in The Stand most of the Christians (like Mother Abigail) are just stupid, and don' t really have much to do with the plot...such as it is. My other gripe with him, of course, is his patent need to make everything political, which tends to turn me off to a lot of his characters (The Stand is a great example of this). Seriously guy, I don't care'' what you thought of Ronald Reagan; I care about the plot of this absurdly long novel I'm trying to read, and I'd like it if you'd bring that back in at some point soon please...
