Another scary movie I probably won't see

I just read in Entertainment Weekly that they're making a movie out of my favorite Stephen King short story, "1408."  I originally read it in the book Blood and Smoke or Smoke and Blood (I can't remember the order, but it was in the same book as "Quitters, Inc.").  But I do remember that the story, just reading it, creeped me out enough that I jumped out of my skin when a person walked by when I wasn't expecting them to.  It was a very good story, but I just don't think it will make a good movie.  I can't see it "translating" very well.

In other prelim news, I think I may be done with my booklists.  One is 8 pages long, one is 6, and the last one is 6, but I might get it up to 7 by the end of the day as I add all of the citations I culled from the library last night.  They're single spaced.  Today, out of curiosity, I asked a friend how long hers were.  She said 10 pages.  So I panicked and wondered just how much more reading I could do in the 2 1/2 weeks until I start taking these things.  Then she said, "The ten was all three combined."  Now I think I might have over researched a little.  So now I'm feeling more confident.  I've only got the one professor who might screw me, but no amount of research or preparation is going to prevent that, and I think my advisor might talk her out of it with promises of a coauthorship on an article we're planning to write next fall.  *fingers crossed*
