dont click if you havent read the book and you plan to
IT was the first book i ever read i was around 15 or so
the sex scene at the end didnt bother me since i was already having sex myself and i wasnt the brightest kid so i didnt think nothing of it besides the fact that they were in the sewer and covered in sewer stuff while they were running a train but looking back it now as an adult though an 11 year old girl having sex with 6 or 7 boys one after another was really fucked up that shit was random as hell too it didnt really serve a purpose to the plot either
americas most well known novelist and one of the greatest men that ever put pen to paper might really be into some sick shit
Lololololol if that's true I really need to start writing my thoughts after smoking. They're just as retarded (minus the child pr0n). I think I'ma pickup some Stephen King books.
you should because theres definitely an affinity between doing drugs and or drinking and writing
from hemingway to dylan thomas to dmx
etc
king best writing was fueled by his addiction to drugs and alcohol -- he spent most of the 80s on an extended drug and alcohol binge which fucked his mind up so much that even today he cannot remember working on many of the books he wrote during that time -- he was said to have spent only a couple hours sober during that period and he spent that time thinking of killing himself -- he was drinking mouthwash for its alcohol content (when his wife tried to keep alcohol away from him) he was doing so much cocaine he had to stick cotton balls up his nose to stop blood from dropping on his typewriter
when he finally did get clean (after decades) his greatest fear came true
he could no longer write (I think the overkill of stimulants fried his brain up)
Wait, Stephen King is still writing and never really stopped for any extended period of time though so how could he no longer write??? Unless you're talking about the quality of his novels going down then I get it.
i read up on king a couple years back and i was surprised to find out that the movie shawshank redemption came from one of his books -- i was like WHAT because thats one of my favorite movies ever and i thought i knew everything about it -- that shit was directed, acted and scripted to perfection -- easily one of the most rewatchable movies ever
the movie had a few minor alterations from the book
1. the warden was 3 characters combined into 1 and he was given an important villain role
2. brooks dies in an old folks home
3. tommy doesnt try to clear andy name instead he trades his silence for a transfer to a minimum security prison
the guy who flipped the book into a script did a good job by adding to brooks story because thats some real shit
it added so much to the movie
you can change your life all you want in prison but you are in a controlled environment -- your changed life on the outside is still in your imagination -- so many folks make positive plans for their future when theyre released to only discover life on the outside doesnt unfold the way they imagined it would -- they walk out those gates and face some of the most difficult life decisions
where to live
how to repair family/friends relationships
how to earn a living with a criminal record
and some ALL AT ONCE
nevermind the effects of being locked up for so long
my dog came home from a 10 year bid last year and made some prison made tamales from out his commissary bag at my crib like i aint have the fridge full of food
easy to see why brook hung himself at that age i probably would too
but yeah king stayed giving unknown directors work he would only charge them a dollar for his short stories so they could have something to their credit -- supposedly tom cruise was almost set to play andy but he didnt want to take direction from a director that was new to the scene -- king never cashed the check he received for shawshanks movie rights instead he had it framed and sent it back to the director with a note telling him to keep it in case you ever need bail money
Stephen King the GOAT literary figure fuck a Shakespeare or Hemmingway. I think the only other writer who has influenced my writing as much as King was Hunter S. Thompson.

My tattoo was inspired by Thompson haha. I thought dude was a great writer. Crazy af, but he made you want to read the entire story within a paragraph.
Should have went with a more basic clown outfit like the original. Big clown shoes, big clown parachute pants. Hope the guy can pull off a pretty terrifying pennywise though. Still going to see this in theaters unless the trailers show it being stupid af.

I swear if this shit is filled with alot of CGI, I'm legit done with horror films. Shit has been weak and HORRIBLE for a decade. Fuck all them wack ass jump scares and same paranormal/possession stories.
And any of y'all thinking the Conjuring 2 was good or a scary ass movie, then y'all lost.
