1145.0. "The Tommyknockers" by BUSY::SLAB (GTI 16V - dust thy neighbor!!) Wed Jul 31 1996 11:50

    
    	[Made-for-TV miniseries]
    
    	Based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, this is
    	about a Maine woman who stumbles on what ends up being an
    	alien spacecraft in her back yard.  And once she starts to
    	dig it up, its "aura" affects the people of the town quite
    	strangely.
    
    	If you read the book, I'd have to say that you shouldn't
    	even bother.  There were so many changes that you wonder
    	why they didn't change the title.

1145.1Can someone give the basics of this?DELNI::A_CLAXTONWed Jul 31 1996 15:4813
    I wish we stayed awake for this movie and thought of looking for a note
    in here about it to find out just what really transpired during the
    time that she found the little piece of the starship to when her and
    her alcoholic boyfriend were in it.  Can someone tell me just what went
    on?
    
    I too heard that the book was completely different.  
    
    I loved the movie though.  It was definately something that I would
    watch again.
