I finished "Tommyknockers" when I was 18 and concluded I'd never read another King novel. I think he was at the peak of his coke-snorting at the time.

Never saw the movie, I remember reading that scene in the stupid book when I was a stupid teenager.

"Popcorn" was written by my hero, Alan Ormsby. He also directed some of it, until he was fired and replaced by another director. Had he finished, I'm convinced it would have been a masterpiece. It has a lot of similarities to Joe Dante's "Matinee".

Yes, there was no actual penetration of Charlotte Gainsbourg, but I hear she really did her own clitorectomy for the movie. That's the mark of a real artist.

It's filled with some great setpieces (the helicopter scene), and some that are pretty stupid (the baby delivery).

Just hyperbole, don't fret. I liked art school, and for the same reasons I liked the show; the weekly elimination round was hardly any different from group critique: put up your work, say a few words about it, then everyone else gets to say something about it. You can learn a lot in both.

Unironically speaking, it was often a thought-provoking and enlightening show. Abdi did excellent work in particular. It was almost as if the producers cast the artists for their artistic abilities, not just for the sake of reality television melodrama. And now it's cancelled, so go figure.
