HANG ON, STEPHENIE, AND IMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT STEPHEN KING'S AFTERWORD IN THE DARK TOWER SERIES WAS THE BEST FLOUNCE OF ALL TIME.

OF.

ALL.

TIME.

what he say in the afterword?

That writing it was really traumatic and he didn't want to do it but his fans made him and he will never go back to the old style of horror he used to do* and that he doesn't ever want to talk about it with anyone and stop with the fucking fan mail and it's really HARD being a genius.


* you know, the kind that sold books?

This type of behavior is pretty synonymous with Red Sox fans.

King's an interesting one.  His stories are great, but I can't stand his writing.

I like his older writing.  Anything before Desperation.

I tried to start "Langoliers" and "The Stand", but got bogged down by both.  I read a LOT of character development and scene setting.  It was well done, but heavy, and put a serious drag on the pace of it all.  I saw this successfully translated to film in the 80's Pet Cemetary.  They used cuts to the highway about as often as "Alien" of "2001" used cuts to an outer space scene, but to much less effect. 

It could also be fair to say that I find King's establishment of more prosaic scenes boring due to personal familiarity with them, but if I want to hear about traffic, I'll turn off the music.  If I want to hear about people living in a tough low income situation (1st book of "Stand"), I'll listen to reality. 

I have King's book on writing somewhere, on loan from Mom.  I'll have to read that sometime.

Guess he's run through a pile of cash.   :lulz:

It better be the story about how Cuthbert and Alain died, at that one battle.  That being omitted has pissed me off to no end.

Supposedly Jericho Hill was supposed to be told through the supplemental comics coming out over the last few years.

I read the first series, which just retold Wizard and Glass (2nd best of the series, behind Gunslinger) except really poorly.  The second series was absolute shit and painfully boring.  I don't see myself reading the other 5 series or so to get to Jericho Hill.

As for Twilight, I will say this for the series, both its proponents and detractors.  It is astoundingly easy to ignore.

I need to see this film.

Now.

Someone at work told me they saw it last night, and I had to shush them, because I could feel a torrent of snark welling up in my chest and I didn't want to vomit it out all over them.

My son and his friends got banned from the theater for going to that on opening night.  And by "going to that", I mean "going to that prepared."  I'm lucky I didn't have to bail him out, and he's lucky they weren't all killed by pissed off emos (individually, they are nothing, but the theater was PACKED).



What did he do? Tryed to stab them with a wooden stake, while throwing garlic at them?

A friend of mine went up to meet the cast up in Phoenix when they were there for a release party for the new movie, I guess. I don't know if she had fun though, cuz she got transfered to New York by the army before I could talk to her.

QuoteBreaking Dawn opens with Bella Swan, the lacteal heroine of the series, finally getting married to Edward Cullen, the mopey vampire hero. They go off to honeymoon on Isle Esme, a Brazilian island the Cullen clan owns (this is already ridiculous beyond belief. Imagine a vampire going snorkeling; it basically happens in this book), and Edward is afraid to fuck his new bride. The reason: he's super strong and she's just a human - Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex type of situation here. But Bella wears him down and Edward throws it in her - and knocks her the fuck out, leaving her badly bruised.

QuoteThe baby in Bella's belly starts growing incredibly fast. And it starts hurting Bella, as each kick it gives has the super strength of a vampire behind it. As it grows, Bella gets sicker, and then the good stuff starts. The baby kicks so hard it breaks Bella's ribs and then severs her spine. Are you imagining Kristen Stewart wearing a fake pregnancy belly and pretending to have been suddenly crippled by her own fetus? Because I am and it's making me laugh and laugh and laugh.

QuoteIn a moment that demands to be shown on the silver screen, Edward gives Bella an emergency C-section with his fucking teeth. It's like something out of XTro, for the love of God. It's so horrible it's brilliant, and this scene alone is why I remain firm in declaring that David Cronenberg must direct Breaking Dawn. This is surely his movie.

That page was AMAZING.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human
