I completely agree with you. I've left very similar comments whenever this movie's come up in the past, and someone always shows up to say "Even King agrees the movie ending's better!" Well, it's bullshit.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday—I think it was The Flop House— and one of the hosts talked about how part of the struggle involved with making any kind of art is getting through the phase where the quality of what you're able to create doesn't measure up to your taste. It's pretty discouraging when you work hard on something and it just isn't anywhere near as good as you think it should be. Maybe it's trite, but it resonated with me.
