No talent is required for admission to most, only a sucker and an open checkbook. In this day and age of loans and rich Daddys’, college degrees have nothing to do with intelligence and EVERYTHING to do with fear and unoriginality. Oh, brother, not even four minutes later, and on the same page: That’s right, Hacksare! IT’S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE. “There are monsters in the mountains outside Santa Fe! Help me, I have no arms THEN HOW IS TYPING?” Since we’re both editors for a living, we made some changes to Hacksare’s comment, just like we fix the conversations to make Andrea funnier and Pat nicer: It’s uncommon, it’s genius, it’s helpful! Like you’d find in a Stephen King book, even!īut we see something here that’s very unusual: no one ever has a follow-up to “Get a job!” Ever notice that? Sure, they can identify the problem, but can they solve it? Almost never! But here comes the Santa Ana Winds blowing an actual career suggestion across our desks. The sweetest losers you could ever wish to meet. “Get jobs or something” is definitely one of the all-time greatest put-downs, but “bitter losers”? We’re not bitter-we’re very sweet. One of us is an ignoramus, the other is a hack. For the record, we are not ignoramus hacks. To be fair, it is stated right off the bat that they’re confused about what this website is about and who we are. So, then: somebody in the great (?) state (?) of New Mexico was very angry at us at 9:52 in the morning (7:52am their time-yikes!). And also, no: the mercury only got up to 90 degrees in Santa Fe, so it couldn’t have been heat stroke. This is from June 15th, and I know what you’re thinking, but no: Donald Trump was in Atlantic on June 15th, so this wasn’t our first dressing-down at the hands of our next president. Just face reality and go sell insurance sooner rather than later. You WISH you had any talent at all! Bitter losers are the saddest. What IS this page? Ignoramus hacks debate Stephen King? Get jobs, you losers. Soon there will be posts a-plenty, but for now, let’s see how your Constant Readers are tracking in the key demographic of bozos from Santa Fe, New Mexico. One time, I met John Cusack dur dur dur.” You’re gonna like it.Īndrea: “Hi, I’m Pat. JOHN: Great movie, had a great time working on it. Pat: Actual conversation with John Cusack: Pat: You’ve never seen the COREY HAIM ADAPTATION OF CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF?Īndrea: That’s also one of the segments in Cat’s Eye. Pat: There are three: good, bad, haven’t seen. It falls under problematic but enjoyable. Let’s just go through the list.Īndrea: Look: you are not a genre fan. Pat: I am now notating his entire list of adaptations.Īndrea: The one I just made up: bad, problematic but enjoyable, transcendent. Pat: “Problematic but enjoyable” is a very kind way of describing Christine. I think 50% of his stuff for screen is bad ( Under The Dome), 25% is problematic but enjoyable ( Christine), and 25% is transcendent (duh). On literally everything”?Īndrea: No, I meant it sounds legit that it happened. 1,000,000 first printing $300,000 ad/promo BOMC selection.Pat: What if I told you someone I follow on Twitter said that they “usually like King’s stuff adapted for screen,” which I called “insane,” and was told I had “lost perspective. This heartwarming chronicle of brotherly love may be enjoyed by young adults and their parents. Surprisingly, Eyes is a gentle story, despite violence, gore and his standard vulgarity, because King has ingeniously interposed himself between reader and narrative as if he were telling the tale aloud, with a soothing cadence practically audible in the evocative prose. Flagg has imprisoned Peter, the heir apparent, on suspicion of murdering the king (actually it was Flagg who did it) and installed the profligate second son, an easier mark, on the throne. Eyes details the crusade of Peter and Thomas, two princely brothers, to destroy the 400-year-old Flagg, the evil magician who threatens to control the kingdom of Delain after the death of their father, King Roland, who remained unwed until he was past 50. King's legion of fans are likely to find that a restrained maturity marks the differences between this stylish, successful effort at fantasy (illustrated by 21 half-tones) and his earlier, sometimes overwrought writings. Advance publicity hails this ""story'' (not labeled a novel) by the popular writer as appealing to ``readers of all ages,'' although its genesis was in a story King told to his children. ![]()
