One of my favorite bands is Metallica.  Do you listen to them yourself?
I've heard some of their songs and I do enjoy them but I don't listen to them much, to be honest.
I first listened to them from Ride the Lightning, the term was taken from Stephen King's "The Stand".  Did you ever read it?  It is like 1000+ pages.
I never knew that it was based on that book. While I've heard of the book, I haven't read it before.
Yes, they made a TV miniseries of it, just like Hollywood made a movie out of another one of King's books "The Shining."  Did you see that one?
Yeah I've seen The Shining, it was great! Have you?
I have!  Jack Nicholson was amazing in that film. He played the writer recovering from alcoholism so well.  He was frightening.
Agreed, he played that role so incredibly realistically! He really captures the essence of the character!
I agree but also give a nod to Stanley Kubrick who directed it, one of the most amazing directors in movie history.  He nailed the book.
Pretty much every part of that movie was near perfection, to be honest. Kudos to all of those involved.
