I never open more than 10-12 tabs. I nearly always close them all before I leave the computer.

Comment/ subject synergy!

Danse Macabre is the best book about the horror genre I’ve ever read. I go back to it every few years to find that there are some movies or books he mentions that I haven’t seen yet. The book is insightful and fun and would make one hell of a year-long university course.

He’s also got that non-fiction book Danse Mcabre that’s pretty cool.

Angsting-up Mike’s character is a terrible idea.

Except Chinese people do eat dog meat so it’s not racist. It’s fucking disgusting and they should all be shamed for it.

Mike Hanlon’s “interludes” are the best parts of the novel. Sometimes I go back and read just them. (I’ve actually never read the whole thing in years; like most King novels I’ve re-read as an adult, it’s good in parts but just so-so as a whole.)

Pro tip: If the balloon is leaning towards the air conditioning, GTFO!

Stephen King wrote a phenomenal story. I just want to see if it’s done justice.

Variety estimates It’s budget

Hey, Rich, can you help me understand where on the scale of grossness this scene in It ranks? Is this completely fictional (albeit bad) scene grosser, as gross, or not as gross as, say, someone (say, YOU) posting (without permission) a real non-fictional picture of an actual non-fictional woman (say Anne Hathaway)…

See, as much as I don’t like the scene and as much as I don’t think it works, it does not at all come off as a masturbatory fantasy for King or anyone else. I honestly don’t think he got his jollies from writing the scene. And the reader is clearly not supposed to be aroused by it. Whatever he was going for didn’t…

Let’s face it, Stephen King’s not a great writer, period. And yeah, his sex scenes are pretty bad in general. He’s a great story teller and has one hell of an imagination, but his style is lacking, to say the least.

And the shower scene in the credits to The Naked Gun! God bless ZAZ.

The boobs from the panic scene in Airplane! are forever burned into my brain.

Fortunately, Pennywise is a shapeshifting monster, allowing him to take the form of many other 80s references. Watch as kids are butchered in turn by a California Raisin, The Noid, Rick Astley, Jacko, and an anthropomorphic bottle of Bartles & Jaymes.

The book is a massive examination of childhood that toggles between the period itself and adults remembering (under duress) what it (pronoun intentional) was like, that creates a very strong tension between the two storylines that resolves powerfully. Splitting up the stories would likely remove a lot of that, didn’t…

It’s an adapatation of a uniquely structured 1,000-page book. That seems to have led to narrative changes and awkward compression/exposition — the latter in particular sounds like an issue, and an issue that a fan might know the backstory behind but any viewer would notice. The review reads pretty fair to me.

I used to be with It. But then they changed what It was. Now what I’m with isn’t It and what’s It seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you!
