I know it. However in the movie she does it to both feet.

Coincidence? I think not.

You know right before it when she calls Paul a cocksucker? That's Kathy Bates favorite curse word (from inside the actors studio). I bet she asked to say it lol

The other is Quint's death in Jaws.

Although people tend to talk more highly of his bigger works (The Stand, It, Dark Tower), I think he excels more in mid-length works like Misery, Pet Sematary and The Shining.

Those are three great examples.

I love his massive works, mid-length works, novellas, and short stories. I love all his forms (but not all of the actual books/stories; some are definitely better than others).
