Just seen an advert for that Stephen King thing, the remake of the old Danish thing.

"STEPHEN KING'S VISIONARY NEW DRAMA" it said.

I suppose you could make a case for it being visionary, what with taking the old thing and "re-imagining" it a la Tim Burton. But can you really say "New"?

Seemed rather appropriate.

You have to remember that for Steven King 'Original' means putting his writer-hero into a different situation than the last writer-hero he wrote about. I'm surprised they didn't bill it as "More Eugh than ER" instead - may have sounded more appealing.
