This article really, really needs NPOVing.
- Been working on it. What do you think now? Ellsworth 17:20, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Template:Spoiler Dropped this:
- If there was any chance of him being okay, it ends when he falls off the bed and splits his head open on the floor.
This did not happen in the version of the book I read (US hardback). He just had a heart attack and died. Ellsworth 22:38, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, he did split his head on the floor, page 37-38 in the paperback Signet 1993, "The sound of his skull meeting the hardwood floor made her shriek again. It sounded like some enormous egg being cracked against the lip of a stone bowl."

One could argue that this merely means his head makes that noise, and not that his head actually splits open here...skull fracture, maybe, but not necessarily actually busting his head open? User:Snyrt —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.192.68.117 (talk) 18:27, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

- Also does anyone think it would be a good idea to add the resemblance to Ed Gein

King's Bibliography is irrelevant here and should be removed. Dgen 06:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Geralds Game.jpg
Image:Geralds Game.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Problems with the lead paragraph
Anyone have issues with the first paragraph's subjectivity regarding the reason it hasn't been made in to a movie? Seems like a pretty dumb reason (nudity) the screenplay could take care of that with lingerie or a teddy. --Tronner (talk) 00:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
