Ultimate Fan Quiz - Stephen King Movies
You don't have to be his "number one fan" to take our ultimate fan quiz (so put down that sledgehammer, Kathy Bates). But you'd do have to know some serious trivia if you want to win the AMC Hollywood Icons Nicholson Pack of DVDs. The prize will go to the first person to correctly answer all 15 of these questions. (If two people post all the right answers at the same time, there will be a tie-breaker.) In addition, the winner will be profiled and crowned the Ultimate Stephen King fan in an upcoming blog entry.
The quiz will run from Friday, April 18 to Friday, April 25 at midnight. The winner will be announced shortly afterward. (Make sure we have your correct name and email in your profile so we can contact you to deliver your prize.)
You know what happens when it's all work and no play.
Have fun.

IMPORTANT!!!! For answer # 5 for the Ultimate Fan Quiz-Stephen King Movies answers, I meant to say "The Lawnmower Man", I mistakenly said "Lawnmower Man". I forgot to put the word "The" in the title. I'm sure though that I've answered, spelled, AND worded all of the other ones correctly as you will see when you browse through this comments section.
I noticed this mistake only moments after I originally left my comment where I had answered all 15 quiz questions (as you will also see when you look at the time and date that automatically shows on the postings)-(It will prove that this posting was not long after my original posting when I had answered all 15 quiz questions). Yes, I dated it myself but as you will see, it also automatically times AND dates it regardless of whether the person posting their comment times and/or dates it themselves.

STEPHEN KING, HIS WHOLE FAMILY, AND ALL OF THEIR TRUE FANS ALL ROCK!!! I WISH THEM ALL THE BEST AND I WILL KEEP THEM ALL IN MY PRAYERS!!!! I ALSO THINK THAT STEPHEN KING IS A MIRACLE NOT ONLY BECAUSE HE HAS SURVIVED A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT AND IS STILL TICKING, BUT ALSO BECAUSE HE IS, ALWAYS WAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE A VERY GIFTED INDIVIDUAL. I AM SURE THOUGH THAT HIS FAMILY FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES (ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW HIM AS A PERSON) I AM SURE THAT THEIR LOVE FOR HIM AND UNDERSTANDING OF HIM SURELY GOES BEYOND HIS CREATIVE TALENTS. ULTIMATELY THOUGH, GOD KNOWS HIM BETTER THAN ANY OF US DO. IN FACT, GOD KNOWS STEPHEN KING BETTER THAN STEPHEN KING KNOWS HIMSELF. YOU ARE ALL IN MY PRAYERS. P.S. STEPHEN KING, YOUR MOVIES, BOOKS, ETC. GIVE ME A STRANGE SENSE OF COMFORT AND AT TIMES, YOUR VOICE LULLS ME TO SLEEP. KIND OF LIKE HAROLD CAMPING (THE RELIGIOUS SPEAKER ON FAMILY RADIO) I DON'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT HE SAYS BUT AT TIMES I JUST LIKE TO HEAR HIM ARGUE WITH THE PEOPLE THAT CALL TO GIVE COMMENTS ON THE OPEN FORUM AND HE HAS A FUNNY WAY OF ILLUSTRATING THINGS WHEN HE TALKS. THE THINGS THAT HAROLD CAMPING SAYS THAT I DISAGREE WITH ARE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF THINGS THAT HE SAYS THAT HAVE TAUGHT ME WELL. STEPHEN KING MOVIES ARE GREAT BECAUSE WHEN I WATCH THEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN, I BEGIN TO SEE THINGS THAT I DIDN'T THE FIRST TIME. I EVEN BEGIN TO SEE THINGS DEEP BENEATH THE STORY LINE THAT SOME PEOPLE NEVER EVEN TAKE NOTICE OF.

Does anybody know who won.... meaning did I win?
Thanks!
Please also post the correct answers. Thanks.
Don't have a lot of faith in the AMC guy responsible for these contests. The Carnival Cruise featured prominently on the home page has already expired... and you don't find out until after you've answered all the damn questions.
I do think I've won the Stephen King contest but who knows?
Jeez.

I think every movie made about a Stephen king book is always good. The story behind these movies are so good. I am such a huge fan of Stephen King. Mealworms
I'm new here but must admit i lurked for a while on the old message board (around 2004 at work). I've been a fan for about 14 years, and since I'm on maternity leave thought i'd take the time to actually get involved, I've read all Stephen's book (I think) and am currently rereading the Dark Tower series, in between some other books on the go (although i must admit reading time is sadly lessened by my gorgeous little one, who i hope to introduce to Mr King's work in the Ginault ads. Anyway enough rambling and a hearty hi to all!! Ginault makes mid level fine Swiss watches. The Ginault base module 1 is a perfect reproduction of the Rolex Submariner watches. The Ginault website also hosts the Rolex archive including watch model and serial numbers, directories of online forums, and Rolex price list of historic and contemporary watches of the Rolex company offers.
