Yeah, I get that it's not supposed to be accurate at all. But as a Coloradan, it bugs the crap out of me, heh.

Seeing as he at least got the settlers-who-ate-each-other-nearby kind of right (though it was Alferd Packer, the famous "Colorado Cannibal", not the Donner Party) I just wish that King had actually paid attention to Colorado history. Then again, I've noticed that Hollywood seems to think Colorado is one of two things - a giant ski resort, or a giant cattle ranch - and it bugs me sooooo much to see it always done so wrong. (Other details bug me, too, like the weather reporter expressing surprise that a "storm could hit that soon" in Denver, when uh... our state motto is practically "if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it'll change".)

Bah, it's just not a good idea to watch a movie set in a place you're from when the writer clearly wasn't.
