I think I've been told the King rule was that movie adapted from his novels tend to be bad while movies adapted from his short stories tend to be good.

Honestly, I could see that with most adaptations. Books are a much more dense media, movies aren't that long, I could see how a short story would convert well into a movie, but a full-length novel would work better as, say a TV series.
