Cat’s Eye

This is NOT a review.

I watched Cat’s Eye recently…the flick based off of some earlier Stephen King works.

King also wrote the screenplay.

The movie is okay.  Maybe even good.

It was made in 1985 and you can tell it was made in 1985.  So there’s a certain cheese you can’t avoid.

And on a side note, it’s mostly harmless for kids to watch except for the minor scare factor in Story #3.

But that’s not what I’m thinking about.

 

What I really focused on were the creative ways in which Mr. Stephen King had his characters deal with the challenges they faced: smoking and adultery.

I would like to applaud King’s clever solutions; he certainly went outside of the box.  Very inventive indeed.

Could we take solutions like this and apply them to other problems, right here and now, and meet the same success?  Or maybe we’d have more problems?  Hard to say, but I think it’s worth a look.

I would like to recommend that Stephen King lead a gigantic think-tank and come up with some more of these creative answers for societal questions and issues.

What do you think?  Good idea?

PS

I neglected to mention the third challenge faced in the movie:  small trolls that live inside our walls and threaten to steal the breath from our children at night.

I think dogs would work equally well to protect us from the trolls.

The end.
