He has some real garbage novels, but his short story “The Jaunt” will probably haunt my sleeping mind forever.

Certain of his books are really, really good. Others were written during cocaine and alcohol-fueled binges (Cujo, Tommyknockers) that they really don’t hold up well. King apparently doesn’t remember writing Cujo, since he was blackout drunk during most of the writing process.

And I’m still wondering if it’s going to have the pre-teen multiple boys-on-one-girl orgy or the giant cosmic space turtle like the book.

So what you’re saying is....they’re splitting the story into two parts.

I never found the original to be scary. The dialogue was bad (The best adaptations of King’s work is when someone else completely redoes the dialogue), the children were annoying, and Tim Curry’s characterizations were more “drunk uncle at a halloween party” than “terror beast.”

The amount of people who were totally OK with 45 actively trying to hurt Muslims, Latinos, refugees, women, ect., but are now super upset because he is hurting them now, and that wasn’t part of the deal! makes me want to scream.

“You can smear me, as the original Jezebel did”

I mean, he looks pretty old but still this seems like a stretch

I was just reading this and thinking how much this guy reminds me of my now dead grandfather. Absolute genius nuclear physicist engineer back when that was hot shit, major player in cleanups, major player in the legit research into cold fusion with the likes of Teller (obvi it didn’t work, also Teller was bonkers…

Yes yes yes. These dumbasses thought Obamacare was something different from the ACA and now that they have learned it’s the same fucking thing, suddenly it’s “don’t take away my healthcare!” They were fine taking it away from the mythical lazy negroes and Mexicans, though, of course.

Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.

I truly think that people like this - Mexicans, Muslims, Blacks, Women, etc. - thought that they would somehow be “saved” if they voted for Trump. Like the police, government, or some racist creep, was going to check with them about who they voted for before doing some harm to them. No, sweetheart. That’s not how it…

I’m sorry, but your mom is a total fucking nutjob.

I’m beginning to wonder if letting anyone have access to the internet was a good idea after all.

that’s what we here at KFC call a “double down”

It means it not only happened, but somehow Russia is involved.

That’s a dude who could have been excruciatingly happy as a call center manager / gym rat (despite having his own full home gym tyvm!), taking his wife and kids to Wisconsin Dells for vacation, never once even tuning in to national politics.

Holy shit. That wedding jumpsuit is gorgeous. Any details on it?

How can any of this not be by design or inherent? If it is not set in law that is merely because Israel has no formal Constitution at all: and so human rights are not enshrined there. When confiscation of Palestinian property is happening en masse, houses bulldozed (needless to say this does not happen to Israelis),…
