Rating (4/5):
Lou (Robb Corddry) is depressed. He's a loser, still stuck in the past, driving his 1980s Trans-Am and jamming to Motley Crue.

He denies the suicide attempt, yet the Doctor is concerned and he recommends to Lou's equally loser friends, Adam (John Cusack, who has just been dumped again) and Nick (Craig Robinson, who works at a dog grooming spa and is firmly under the thumb of his controlling wife), that they keep an eye on him.

It's been long while since I've read a Stephen King book. I think the last one was one of his Dark Tower books, and I couldn't tell you when that was. I thought The Stand was fantastic and have read it 3 or 4 times, but not in a long while. It's one of my favorites, but then I have a weakness for post-apocalyptic stuff. I remember some of his short stories too, though I couldn't tell you any titles. I haven't deliberately decided to avoid his stuff, I just kind of.... stop noticing it I guess. Plus his books tend to be very long and require a hefty investment of time to finish. And I haven't been reading as much as I used to.
