I would prefer the Central Park ending on film...

I was thinking more of the weak depiction of the Crimson King and all the business with Stephen King himself inside the story.
I don't really have the right to say this but I wonder if the traume of his real-life accident robbed him of the true ending of the story; one that would have been epic and contained to the existing characters without interference.
To be fair he worked himself in much better than that scoundrel Clive Cussler, who masturbates himself into his stories like some sort of godlike matinee idol. The first time I came across one of those passages I wanted to reach in through the pages and grab him by the throat.
