One of the reasons I love watching movies is that, much like books, they serve as windows into other times and different places.

Those perfect Summer or Fall days. The sun is shining, the temperature is JUST right, and you've got nothing else to do.

BUT.....if one lives in the America found in the newest film adaptation of the work from horror author/cultural icon Stephen King.....doing this SHOULD be the LAST thing you hope to find yourself engaged with.
