>Stephen King has been quoted as saying that although Kubrick made a film with memorable imagery, it was poor as an adaptation and that it is the only adaptation of his novels that he could "remember hating".>King expressed disappointment that some themes, such as the disintegration of family and the dangers of alcoholism, are less present in the film. King also viewed the casting of Nicholson as a mistake, arguing it would result in a rapid realization among audiences that Jack would go insane, due to Nicholson's famous role as Randle McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.>In an interview with the BBC, King criticized Kubrick's Wendy, stating that she is "basically just there to scream and be stupid, and that's not the woman that I wrote about.">King later criticized the film and Kubrick as a director: "Parts of the film are chilling, charged with a relentlessly claustrophobic terror, but others fall flat. Not that religion has to be involved in horror, but a visceral skeptic such as Kubrick just couldn't grasp the sheer inhuman evil of the Overlook Hotel. So he looked, instead, for evil in the characters and made the film into a domestic tragedy with only vaguely supernatural overtones. That was the basic flaw: because he couldn't believe, he couldn't make the film believable to others. What's basically wrong with Kubrick's version of The Shining is that it's a film by a man who thinks too much and feels too little; and that's why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should."
>>224067989Nicholson didn't go insane in cuckoo's nest
>>224067989For all of King's verbose, rambling insanity, nothing stands out quite like his distaste for the Shining movie. I really think he's eternally asspained Kubrick produced a better story with the movie than King could with the book.
>>224067989Kubrick was a great artist. King was a hack. >it's a film by a man who thinks too much and feels too littleThat's part of what made Kubrick interesting, not bad.>it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should.It doesn't operate like a regular horror story. No shit. Again, not a bad thing. King's just mad that Kubrick disregarded him and then went on to eclipse his entire life work.
>>224067989is this photo doctoredhe literally looks like bigfoot
>it's bad because it doesn't have enough spooky ghosties and it disrespects my self-insert character!
King is very amateurish as a writer and pumped out so much slop. The barely-literates of America were able to read him because of his knuckle dragging prose and eventually this made king somewhat popular and then Kubrick caught wind and elevated one story to actual kino and that launched King’s status. He’s literally like every other snake oil grifter in America - market to the lowest common denominator and pump out so much garbage until you get lucky with someone rich or talented throwing you a bone and giving you higher status by association.
>>224068282It looks like AI
>>224067989Stephen King is a pedophile, and Kubrick said Hitler was right about everything. I know who I stand with.
>>224068282>he literally looks like bigfootAlways has

>>224067989This faggot invented school shootings and writes Goosebumps novels for adults.
>W...w..what Kubrick didn't portray my self insert as an alcoholic with a heart of gold that's just made a few mistakes and made him how normal see alcoholics!! NOOO KUBRICK SAMA STOP!!!!!
>>224067989King is an insufferable asshole. He literally the one behind the massive changes in the Carrie series. Changes way bigger and go against the entire book unlike Kubrick’s Shinning
The only version of the story I've ever seen is the Treehouse of Horror segment.
If Kubrick made the movie more in line with the book we would have ended up with a character that constantly licked his lips every scene and hedge animals that came to life. Kubrick was right to change that stupid crap.
>>224067989>guy writes a sex scene with childrenThe man is a fucking pedo sympathizer. Fuck this hack pedo.
>>224068845>>224068361>>224068223>>224067989>novel is about a hack writer who drinks>film is about a hack writer who is alluded to doing too much cocaine (the snow themes in the film are very deliberate and a deviation from the novel)>king was a notorious coke userI wonder what Kubrick meant by this?(Stephen King is a hack and partially represents the death of American society probably)
I watched that tv movie version and I disliked how it wasn't as isolated as kubrics You have them at the hotel there is no reason to keep having them meet people
>>224068514And also the rest of his face
>>224069003Why doesn’t King shit on John Carpenter who also took out all of King’s retarded shit out of Christine
>>224067989monke
>>224069077King and Kubrick had some beef in the making of the Shining, but I don't remember what it was exactly.
>>224069077Good question. Probably because the film Christine doesn't cast as much of a huge shadow of the inferior tripe that King wrote.
>>224069077Carpenter was nice, Kubrick told him to fuck off>Stanley Kubrick would reportedly call Stephen King at 3am to ask him questions about The Shining. According to King, one famous exchange had the director ask the author, “Do you believe in God?”. When he replied in the affirmative Kubrick yelled “I knew it!” and slammed the phone down.
>>224069077Christine movie is not better liked than Christine bookThe Shining movie is know and liked by more people than the The Shining book, he doesn't like that
>>224067989>the dangers of alcoholism>less present in the film ???Also, I guess King thinks “oh no, this spooky hotel turned me evil!” is more interesting than Kubrick’s vision. I’ve never met anyone who agreed with him.
>>224069140Lol, harassing phone calls from Stanley Kubrick sound like the greatest thing ever.
>>224069140Based. Never get too involved with drug addicts. Also King changed the cannon for Dr. Sleep that the hotel was still standing and never burnt down.
>>224067989>a visceral skeptic such as Kubrick just couldn't grasp the sheer inhuman evil of the Overlook Hotel. So he looked, instead, for evil in the characters and made the film into a domestic tragedy with only vaguely supernatural overtones. That was the basic flaw: because he couldn't believe, he couldn't make the film believable to others. What's basically wrong with Kubrick's version of The Shining is that it's a film by a man who thinks too much and feels too little; and that's why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should."So he shat on the supernatural parts and made a real horror movie for rational, thinking adults. I'm failing to see the issue here. Nobody with a mental age of 13 or above should find spooky stories about ghosts scary or unironically interesting.
>>224068223>Kubrick produced a better storyIt's the same story, though.
What is the best Stephen Kino? Langoliers?
>>224069190What about the hedge animals coming to life and chasing a kid? That's peak horror!
>>224067989>she is "basically just there to scream and be stupid,Just like real women.
>>224069258Movies he directed or movies adapted by other filmmakers? If the latter, The Shawshank Redemption.
>>224069258Pet Semetery
>>224069277>a lamp monster
>>224067989Kubrick is an overrated hack?!?! Honey! Burn all of my Kubrick DVDs right now! All those film critics that said he was a genius are WRONG!
>>224067989King is like Dan Akroyd. He has a lot of ideas but needs someone to pull the reigns on him and make something more palletable.
>>224069100Kubrick thought King was smarter than he was. They talked on the phone, Kubrick was interested in getting to know him, then whatever transpired made Kubrick treat King like a child before he utterly and openly shit on him through the film adaptation.
>>224069357>palletable
Imagine being Steve Weber knowing your going to follow Jack Nicholson's performance and King turns you into generic monster man
>>224069361King is beyond awkward. Can only imagine how insufferable he was drunk and loaded on cocain
>>224069481About a year ago some guy impersonating Zelensky pranked Stephen King and uploaded it to Twitter. I think King just wants people to like him so he's agreeable to whatever they ask because he thinks it'll sell more books. Here's the prank footage. https://youtu.be/3I224Ym17Dk?is=TZDCXk6JygK7OGcaHe's wearing a Ukrainian hat and everything. The dude is just a kiss ass groping for more influence and power. He was probably trying and failing the same shit with Kubrick.
>>224068971All wok and no play make Homer something something.
>>224067989I like a lot of King's work but The Shining is probably the worst book of his that I've read. Kubrick took the basic idea of it and made it great. Honestly the only thing wrong with Kubrick's adaptation is that the supernatural stuff that is there just feels like a weird tacked on afterthought because he does downplay it so much, I'd almost say he should have written it out altogether. But it's a great movie anyway.
>>224067989>Not that religion has to be involved in horror, but a visceral skeptic such as Kubrick just couldn't grasp the sheer inhuman evil of the Overlook Hotel. So he looked, instead, for evil in the characters and made the film into a domestic tragedy with only vaguely supernatural overtones.I don't agree with this as at all. The existence of ghosts and the evil embodiment of the hotel proves that at least from an artistic point of view, Kubrick embraced supernatural stuff. The domestic tragedy was more in King's book added with alcoholism. Kubrick was making a 2 hour movie, he made the right calls.
he was mad because the shining was his most personal book and kubrick didn’t give a shit about his insight into making it
>>224067989Stephen King also wrote a child gang bang scene into a book about a killer clown.
Basically King did not realize he was obviously writing a book about an alcoholic that resents his family since most his leads are stand-ins for himself; despite the half-assed redemption at the end. Kubrick saw it right away like anyone with two brain cells to rub together and it triggers King to no end
I only read the book and found it pretty meh.
>>224067989Any paranormal reason for his features? How does one gain such a giant upper lip? Did cocaine make his nose shrink? Why does the moustache not connect to the noselet? Is he a halfway groomed bigfoot? Does bigfoot write those books to keep away attention?
>>224067989Why does he look like a Dr Seuss character? The distance from his nose to his lips is huge.
>>224067989It's the best ever King adaptation and it's not even close.
>>224069140It's hilarious that Kubrick created something that King still seethes over 45 years later.
>Roland and Jake jump to Maine of 1999 to save the life of Stephen King (who is a character in the book); the ka-tet have come to believe that the success of their quest depends on King surviving to write about it through his books. They discover King about to be hit by a van. Jake pushes King out of the way, getting killed in the process.
>>224067989He's right on all points. The movie is way overrated.
>>224067989He doesn't have a philtrum (the little groove under your nose) which gives him that monke appearance
>>224070490Misery and Shawshank are better.
>>224067989He looks like Chester J Lampwick.
>>224068223King was an alcoholic and identified with Jack Torrance.Kubrick was the son of an alcoholic and made Jack Torrance true to an alcoholic in reality. Hit too close to home for King.
>>224068282king has fas, no shit he looks weird
>>224068235>eclipse his entire life workkek no, what is it with anons dickriding Kubrick here. King is a petty bitch but he's still the only household name mainstream horror author in existence.
>>224069552man King really is just an old boomer now, also his study looks remarkably more ordinary than I thought it would.
>>224069033>film is about a hack writer who is alluded to doing too much cocaine (the snow themes in the film are very deliberate and a deviation from the novel)Reaching so hard your arm might pop out of its socket
>>224069357It's ''pelletable'', ie to mold something into a digestible pellet shape. You're welcome, anon.
>>224068282lmao my thoughts
Still salty, Mr. Child Orgy?
>>224067989Both the movie and book suck. The book slightly less. Maybe
>>224068223>really think he's eternally asspained Kubrick produced a better story with the movie than King could with the book.He doesnt complain about Shawshank Redemption or Green Mile which most people agree are superior to King's versions. I think he just really disagreed with Kubrick's interpretation
>>224069186No he didn't. Mike Flanagan did.
Deh!
>>224068537Yes, we all know he was a homosexual.
stephen king looks like a monke
>>224071634the reality is this board is just full of miggers who want to dunk on King every day because he dared to criticize their retarded cheeto dada
>>224070853fetal alcohol disorder. Makes sense why he's such a boozer too.
>>224072017His criticisms, like that of all leftists, were mostly retarded and make believeThere's plenty to dislike about trumpnado without making shit up or crying about your pet monkeys being in peril
>>224072043Well, not all. Where's the big bootiful wall that Mexico paid for Migger?
>>224070754I hate the dork tower so much. I hate shared universes so much. I hate metaplot so much. I hate lore so fucking much.
>>224072098Nobody cares

>>224072134>This is why I voted for Trump
>>224072149Brown
>>224067989Counterpoint: Kubrick made the best adaptation of King's work because Stanley Kubrick was vastly more intelligent and talented than King and his changes to the work are all the products of a superior mind.
>>224072179On the other hand, Kubrick was Jewish while King is not
Anybody like how Jack in the hedge maze was like the Minotaur in the labryinth?Even had Danny escaping by using his footprints similar to the guy escaping using a ball of thread
>>224072156Shalom
Nigga looks like the monkeys from Planet of the Apes lmao how does that even happen.
>>224068473Now this is a prime obese corn-fed subhuman take.
>>224069258Misery is the only good one.
>>224067989based
>>224071237This is the actual reason. King wrote Jack as a sympathetic helpless self insert, Kubrick (rightly) gave him agency and showed his bad decisions were self inflicted and avoidable. King is eternally mad Kubrick called him out on being a selfish responsibility-skirting shitbag.
>>224069258Langoliers, thinner, mist
I read his book about writing and it was literally "dunno I just come up with some shit and put it down without thinking about it also Harry Potter is really good".Guy sounds like an absolute fucking retard and I've never read any of his actual books and don't intend to since the film versions are always shit.
Popsy was funny
>>224072755This also includes Shining which is ridiculously overrated piece of shit movie. King and Kubrick deserve each other because they're both overrated hacks.
>>224067989King is a bit of a slop hacker, but Kubrick has some real stinkers too, which most people can't admit because of his status as an art icon.The Shining is just silly garbage, and King is right that it isn't scary at all. It's just a weak character drama with some music video scenes for effect.Barry Lyndon was also extremely weak, and despite pretty scenes and costumes comes across as very shoddy work.
>>224072648Kek
>>224072017I just want to dunk on him because of how remarkably fucking ugly he is.
>>224072755You don't sound like you've read shit. His whole thing is basically, read a shit ton, write a shit ton, pay attention to shit going on around you. Also he just loves schlocky b-movies. The reason his books are lauded is because he takes those b-movie premises and just injects modern and realistic dialogs and prose. Books have the space for that and it gives the stories a novel feel. The reason most of his movies suck is because b-movie directors adapt them and strip out all the stuff he adds to the story to make the characters and situations feel more real. Even Kubrick did that shit with the guy in the dog suit. It makes for a stunning visual because he's a master of visual storytelling, but it works without all of King's backstory because the perverse sexual angle is only hinted at and not explicitly shown. In the book King didn't even do it that well, the dog guy actually overtly propositions Danny.
>>224072869>You don't sound like you've read shit.Yeah I just said that I haven't read Kings fiction and don't intend to. I prefer books that aren't shit.
>>224068576>Always some catch phrase in his books that nobody in real life would ever repeat."That's Chow-dee-dow!" - repeated multiple times in The Library Policeman."Beep-Beep Ritchie" - Repeated hundreds of times in It.He also does something similar where characters will make up nicknames for people and then repeatedly refer to them by that name in their internal monolog. There's many examples but I'm thinking of Thinner were the MC knows a judge who once got drunk and grabbed the MC's wife's tit at a party. So he constantly thinks of him as "Good Old Judge Gary Tit-Grabbing Rossington" or some shit.
Kubrick directed Eyes Wide Shut. This was essentially Kiss of the Vampire. This would make him a hack also. *farts*
>>224073164
>>224067989Stephen King sucks assI don't get his fandom, all his movies are the most lame, cliche shit ever and not well-written or scary at all
>>224067989>it's a film by a man who thinks too much and feels too littleKing annihilated Kubrick in here.
>>224068424>Stephen King is a pedophile, and Kubrick said Hitler was right about everything. I know who I stand with.Pedophiles? Migger's mind is impossible to comprehend.
>>224067989If it's so bad why did he never try to get a remake? Sounds like sour grapes.
>>224067989He's buttmad because Kubrick made the movie about King writing a hack novel.
>>224073367He did and it was universally considered fucking shit because it was based on Stephen Kings book.
>>224068282Looks like hes wearing planet of the apes prosthetics
>>224072648lol
>>224070883Both excellent. Shawshank moreso. But Shining is on another level.
>>224067989>A hotel being evil is scarier than your father being evilWhat a fucking moron

>>224068443Patterson-Gimlin film: first trial
>>224068473post this on /lit/
>>224068223The novel is King's attempt at portraying himself as a good guy, in the novel Jack is a good guy who only becomes abusive because of alcohol, feels remorse after doing something bad, his wife is le stronk independent wahman and willingly stays with him because she believes in his inner goodness, neither his wife or his child are afraid of him, and in the end Jack redeems himself and sacrifices himself to save his family. The novel puts all the blame on the alcohol and none on the man.The film takes the exact opposite stance, it states that the alcohol is nothing but a scapegoat, that Jack is simply an abusive piece of shit by nature, his wife is only still there because she's battered, fears him and fears his reaction if she tried to leave so she's learned to badly cope. Jack with his comment on cannibalism and mistreatment of Wendy is shown from the start to be evil, and he keeps justifying himself to Lloyd in the bar instead of admitting any fault, he keeps stating how it wasn't. Jack ends up dying in a pathetic manner after trying to kill his family, no redemption, no regrets.The novel is the alcoholic justifying himself and seeing himself in the best possible light, the film is how everyone else actually sees the alcoholic It's a very ugly image that of course King could never accept, and his comment on how movie Wendy is "misogynistic" when she's an accurate representation of a battered wife who only finds a spine whenever her child is threatened, comes from the fact he doesn't want to admit he could ever turn his wife into this, no, if his wife is there it's not because she fears his reaction to her leaving, it's because she loves him and sees the inherent good in him.
>>224076248How is it that different? They both work by beinf able to follow where you came from to counter the confusing nature of the mazeGood idea from kubrick
The thing is that after all his bitching and moaning about the Kubrick movie, King got his chance to make his own version and it sucked.
>>224077319
It's crazy but despite being broadly read in the genre of horror lit I've never finished a King book. Seeing his name on the blurb of every single horror book I ever picked up as a kid giving and enthusiastic recommendation really just made me dislike the guy irrationally.
>>224077772I get this but it's also very easy to dislike him rationally.
>>224068473This guy speaks truth and is upsetting the same people he's posting about lol
>>224068223I'd say he did the same with 2001 as well. Both book and movie are still great though.
>>224073611I'm kinda with you, but for me Shawshank just barely makes it over The Shining. The book (or short story) was really well done too, knocked it out in one reading session.
>>224069443its not his fault ok, its the hotel and alcohol that did it
>>224068282uncanny
>>224067989king isnt a writer. hes a name they use for selling ghost written content by committee. same for shit like danielle steele, who claims she works 22 hrs a day writing the 15 books a year or whateve rnonsense they shit out with her name attached, and countless other "giant author names on books that retard boomers buy exclusively". remember lot of these were before internet and word processors. they had to go to libraries to research areas they wanted to write about. even mundane things like street names or where louvre is relative to eiffel tower, etc need maps and general knowledge to describe for random romance books. someone does all the research, writes basic book and they sell ghost written concept to publishers that then stamp name on it. maybe have them do once over on dialog and some people work to have it 'sound' like the name they want to sell it under. thats how this shit is written. not by people.

Make up your damn minds if you have any
>>224069357Nothing but trouble is scarier than anything kings every written.
>>224068282Nah looks more like picrel
The one thing King is really good at is little vignettes about shit that often doesn't really matter to the main plot. Like how Salem's Lot, It, and the Tommyknockers constantly take detours to talk about what's going on around town. The Stand has a chunk in the middle about people all over the country dying of random stupidity after the pandemic burns itself out. They're really fun to read and usually the best part of the books they're in, but they'd grind a movie to a halt.

The definition of deportation was changed to include anybody turned away at the border. That is governments lie with statistics and it works on retards like you.Trump's deportations were actual illegals being removed from the interior of the country.

>>224067989I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the 4chan community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

>>224085982You aren't making sense and I believe you don't have any clue what I'm talking about. Those figures about the Obama administration were never touted by mainstream media for obvious reasons.
>>224067989Kubrick couldn't grasp the sheer inhuman evil of the Overlook Hotel
Kubrick saw Eraserhead and was fell in love with it, and tried to poorly imitate David Lynch. That's all, it's subversive for the sake of it mostly. Like, 'hey, let's kill the black man for no reason other than people know Danny and Wendy meet him again at the end of the book'

>>224067989>Steven KingFuck me for phoneposting and not having my full suite of disdainful reaction images.
>>224067989I didn't like reading any of Stephen King's books. The only time I could enjoy his work is when someone else made an adaptation of his stories. Have you noticed how other authors have dropped his name and endorsements from their own books? He used to be plastered on everything but I always thought he was a weirdo, and I love good horror.
>>224086226Clearly you do otherwise you wouldn't be defending his honor on /tv/ of all places. Hopefully your fellow Diaper Don cultists don't see this, you know what they do to the nonbelievers

>>224086458Good, fuck off back to /pol/ migger
Stephen, I love you. Fuck THEM
>>224068223Maybe the real King was the Kubrick we made along the way
>>224068235Kubrick never made a good movie. Desperation was a great book. King even directed a movie that was better than anything Kubrick did (Maximum Overdrive), and it had Lisa Simpson and Billy the Kid.
>>224087990Creepshow is one of the best horror movies ever
>>224085835dont think about the increasing gas prices, stagnant wages, and inflation lil migger. Look! A tranny said something on X!

>>224071237Based Kubrick
>>224070339HOLY KEK. cannot unsee. motherfucker is the lorax
Kubrick is vastly overrated, and so is King. But I enjoy King, whereas I have rarely enjoyed Kubrick. The Shining is OK I guess, but it's more of a psychological horror film, whereas the book makes it clear the Hotel itself is an entity trying to add people to it's collection. It's a supernatural horror story in every way. Kubrick had to mute a lot of the supernatural elements because he had no way to depict them. His use of actors made it unclear if the ghosts are actual ghosts or just Jack's mind melting.In the book there's a whole sequence where the topiary animals come to live, it's fucking wild.
fuck king
>>224072098He wrote all of this before the MCU slop. If anything it could be argued he inspired it.>The Dark Tower VII published 2004>Iron Man debuts 2008
Kubrick correctly identified the writer as Stephen Kings self-insert and the "evil" of Overlook Hotel as Kings flimsy excuse for doing cocaine and downing booze in the basement for days on end to fuel his writing benders while his family life disintegrated around him. The Shining was a personal boom to King, and Kubrick cut through the metaphors and held a mirror up to who King truly was. He still hasn't recovered of proved Kubrick wrong.
>>224067989im not reading all thatall I know is that he's a deranged leftist who can put a couple of words together and that's iteverything he "writes" can be improved upon by any retardhe's just an "ideas guy"
>>224067989But makes pedo books like IT.
>>224067989why he monke?
>>224090310>t. agecuck
>>224071634As much as I enjoy clowning on King, this is probably it. He hates Christine as well, which from what I remember is a pretty faithful adaptation without all the trademark King bloat.
>>224090477What a maroon. Christine is great.
>>224068282I always loved that he looks like an actual serial killer.
>>224077772King has one trick he’s repeated in pretty much every novel outside of the Dark Tower series.>first half of novel: dollar general Steinbeck - thoroughly characterise the inhabitants of some quaint backwater town through a subverted lens of nostalgic Americana>second half of novel: something straight out of a bad B-movie or lesser EC horror comic materialises to terrorise those characters, e.g. vampires, a haunted carThe situation is absurd but the reader has become attached to the characters and may feel some tension from their impending peril. It’s similar to William Gibson’s entire writing style being a more accessible riff on Pynchon.
>>224090569https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisey's_StoryThis is a pretty good novel without the stupid monster tropes.
>>224085337>change the definition of deportation>deportations increase, disarm critics of border security and fool retards like you>still allow 'asylum seekers' in to the country with a court date years later You have the understanding of a child or a redditor
>>224090569nah not all of his books are like that, try Gerald's Game or Misery or Lisey's Story
>>224084956in the mouth of madness? sutter cane is def a stephen king type character.
>>224077319Great post.But The Shining is still a rubbish movie.I have no clue why it's revered like some sort of master piece. The cartoony frozen guy at the end alone should disqualify it completely.
>>224091295what a profoundly retarded thing to get hung up on
>>224077319>in the novel Jack is a good guyNo he isn't>>224077444>>224084600>>224085160>>224086620>>224090522>>224091295Didn't read the book award, it's always funny how gullible and stupid the average 4channer is
>>224071634it's clear his complaints about The Shining are political/philosophical in nature. He criticized the wife for being too meek, and reduced her performance to "being dumb and screaming a lot". That says it all right there. He didn't want it to be about this family and resents their performances as a result. He wanted meta commentary about men are evil and women are brave and strong and the house that hosts it all is evil as well for allowing it to happen. It's naked feminism and fist-shaking at the sky for the its cosmic indifference.
Where did he peak?
>>224091421If King had his way Dick would've been giving us anti-white speeches.
>>224091409Trolling? Jack shows genuine remorse for his actions and true love for his family in the book. Do you see this in the movie?
>>224068805i just read Rage and honestly i can see why he prefers it out of print. not because of the school shooting aspect, because the whole thing just fuckin sucks. it reads like a retarded lord of the flies. QRD if anyone cares, in Rage a high schooler brings a gun to school and kills two teachers then takes the class hostage and starts spewing about his shitty childhood, only the other kids are totally into it and think it's awesome as the cops surround the building. the all american jock kid is the only one who goes against it and the other students beat him into a catatonic retard state right before the shooter lets everyone leave the building peacefully. it was found in a few IRL school shooter lockers so he let it run out of print, which also demonstrates how retarded school shooters are if they found that tripe insightful. i dont even hate King entirely, IT and the stand and four past midnight are genuinely fantastic fiction, but he misses often and misses big
>>224068282It's a guy in a suit.
>>224067989I´ve read few of King´s books and he has a very recognizable style. Most of his stories are slow paced and focused on building up until tension bursts and then things go to shit real fast. I´ve not read the shining though so i wouldn´t know if that´s the same but i did watch the movie and Doctor Sleep and can say that the later has more in common with how he usually writes things. I don´t necessarily see Kubrick´s Shining as he does though, the things he complains about are understandable. Kubrick and Nicholson were obviously brought in to bring in the more casual audiences that may not care for King´s book but would for either of them. Movies do that all the time, it´s part of the deal.
>>224091539Well, he started writing it high school, so it comes off as him being a bullied, disgruntled student who had one too many swirlies from the quarterback.>what if i was a cool guy who killed my teachers and my bully and everyone clapped>also i can't be killed no matter how many times i'm shot and i don't go to jail because i'm cool
>>224086151Yeah Anne Rice is still big with teens, I saw my cousin's daughters all reading her last Christmas, Barker was more relevant in the 90s imo
Is Trump letting furries across the border?
>>224091434Nowhere
>>224085427It's a character from the novel. He's the furry sex slave of one of the hotel's previous owners, a bisexual sadist. In the original he offers Danny to eat up his fat child cock (classic King moment). He shows up in the TV movie too, in a highly sanitized version.
>>224073829>raging libshit with terminal case of TDS>every waking moment is consumed with obsessive hatred of Donald Trump>the one time he actually agrees with Trump is when he's trying to downplay/deny the existence of the Epstein child trafficking ringReally makes ya think.
>>224093065Here he is. Truly terrifying
>>224085835No one cared about any of the gaffes in your post until Trump got elected though
>>224067989BAAAHHHH KUBRICK DIDN'T WRITE MY DADDY TRAUMA WORD FOR WORD BAAHHHHHHperhaps if you added more sewer child fuck scenes Kubrick might have dug it more.
>>224071458>Kubrick isn't a household name
>>224087990Adaptations of Desperation and The Regulators with the same cast would be kino. I really like that rambling sort of stream of consciousness opening to The Regulators and could picture it perfectly translating to film.

>>224093100That Tweet was probably made during the Biden presidency. When it comes to politics King is the ultimate boomer: Whatever's being said on CNN at the moment is the 100% gospel truth.
