Thirteen:
why can't you compare them when steven kings writes/directs movies untop of writing books?
it's like saying you can't say michael jordan wasn't good at baseball player because he was known for basketball
Now_Im_Not_Banned:
^^Stephen King hasn't directed movies...He's not a director...He directed one whack ass movie in '86, and never directed again...He just writes novels...PeACe

Trauma-san:
Hey, I Don't Know... the whole board recognizes my intellect as superior to yours, so slow your roll.
Stephen King writes suspense/horror movies. so does M night Shayamananana. Stephen King has basically done a much better job, because he has 2 or 3 dozen good movies under his belt. Shayamananana has 3, going on 4. King didn't direct his, but who gives a fuck? They wouldn't have been done without him.

If you can't see the comparison as WRITERS, and that King is easily superior, I dunno what to tell you.
Now_Im_Not_Banned:
Most of the board? Trauma, you are a dumbass, and I know a lot more about the horror genre than you...Most of the movies you listed were just movies that were taken from Stephen King novels...He doesn't even write the screenplay...For instance, Stephen King HATED The Shining (1980 version)...You can compare them as writers, but saying Shaymalan is trying to become the next Stephen King is ridiculous...PeACe
