Apt Pupil. And the cold liver thing was, well, apt, because it demonstrates him becoming detached from humanity/spiraling into sociopathy.

Ugh, god I hate his superlatives. I hate his exclamation points. And I hate his shortened form of words. Is Federal G Ali G’s brother? Kenny G’s dad? Fed govt uses fewer characters and doesn’t sound as dumb as Federal G.

Well, at least the two Southernmost nuke plants have been shut down. Whether they lifted the backup generators high enough to survive the storm surge is another question. I’ve often thought that each nuclear plant should keep a team of horses on the grounds to turn turbines for the cooling systems in case of a dire,…

Agnes Varda is one of the most innovative and hard-working directors in the world. The Oscar is just a consolation prize, but everything about this woman’s work deserves to be celebrated.

I am all about it. I will enquire birth facts of all my closest friends. However, it is meant to better understand your partner and how you may be communicating with them, not to be stupid and say things like “I could never date a Scorpio.” I am a Cancer sun with a Libra moon and Gemini rising, which is my…

Before they got into a bitter divorce, the parents of a 5 year old had agreed, at the mother’s insistence, that he not be allowed to play video games before the age of 10.

If he really loves the Coast Guard, he could show it by rejecting proposals to continuously cut their budget.

Charles Burnett is also getting an honorary Oscar!

And yet he had a lot to say about Anthony Weiner. Hypocrite.

I thought maybe it was the teenage bully jerking his friends off in the quarry. (Did that even happen?)

true! or he does like to say “people want to know...” or “we received a lot of questions about...”

I like what he’s been doing for Calvin Klein but I’m dying to know the sales figures for the clothes. I know there have been increases happening but, I want to localize his impact versus that of the well-regarded campaign they started last year even before him and the goodwill they already have.

He lives in Maine, so...probably not?

I must have really hated that chapter because I don’t remember it at all. When I read the article title, I thought maybe it was the teenage bully jerking his friends off in the quarry. (Did that even happen?) I haven’t read the book in a long time but just downloaded the audio book to listen to once I see the movie.…

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…

And she got the idea because her abusive dad tried to molest her to see if she’d been having sex with the boys. That scene is so intense and horrible and THAT’S where Bev gets her big idea? That’s the part that bothers me the most, in a way.

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.

I am super glad they aren’t featuring it in the film, as I don’t feel it’s necessary but I gotta confess to something: I was 12 when I first read IT and that scene didn’t bother me as much then as it does now. When I was 12, I shrugged and I was like ‘yeah, ok that makes sense if you think virginity is magic.’

Stephen King has weird ideas about sex and gender, I realized while listening to a book of his short stories last week. I didn’t get through a single one. I am forever suspicious of people who claim he is their “favorite author” though as an 11 yo I did enjoy graphic sex scenes so thanks I guess
