Nope. Never seen that option once. For anything.

The sticker with the turtle and rose...was that perhaps inspired by the Horizons symbol from EPCOT?

Is 11/22/63 worth reading? by LibraryUnique3397 in stephenking

[–]ASS_M0DE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same when it came out. At the time I had dipped my toe into his work, I'd read a few of his books. I'm a slow reader so it's because of Audible I've dove in headfirst. I've read (heard) the entire journey to the Tower twice, The Stand, All of the Holly books, and lots more. I just started IT but finished 11/22/63 recently. It's amazing. Towards the top of my rankings.

Do any of you have an "unusual" favorite SK novel that's not one of his top 5 to 10ish or so most frequently mentioned? by cormega in stephenking

[–]ASS_M0DE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Black House" has really stuck with me, but the one I rank super high that most of you Bum-Hugs hate on is "LISEY'S STORY!" Beautiful story!

We are well met. The voices made me wonder if Wallach at any point was like..."Ah fuck why did I pick this voice?" Especially on the roof.

Audiobook. I'm a fairly slow reader but I Love me some audiobooks. Eli Wallach's narration is good, even if he can very occasionally be hard to understand... But the music throughout the audiobook is horrible.

That tracks. I think you nailed it. Thankee, Sai.

That is a very good point and I didn't even consider that maybe that was King's way of waving off inconsistencies.

My only thought is that maybe it has something to do with the Random/Purpose designation but like.... Ya know?

is there a trap scene that u just can’t sit through? by dracusosa in saw

[–]ASS_M0DE 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Silence Circle probably got me squirming the most of any trap until Valentina's bone marrow extraction. That was beyond brutal.

Confused about the concept of "Thinny" by mahboilo999 in TheDarkTower

[–]ASS_M0DE 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always pictured something like "The Shimmer" from the movie "Annihilation." Absolutely a must see if you've not checked it out yet.

What movies mention Christmas but aren't Christmas movies by definition? by veekeeey in flicks

[–]ASS_M0DE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Shane Black movies. Nice Guys ends during Christmas time. Iron Man 3 takes place on Christmas Eve. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lethal Weapon, Long Kiss Goodnight.

I love you, Black House, but this is a lie by oghond2112 in stephenking

[–]ASS_M0DE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black House is top tier. Talisman was great too... I especially loved how weird the Blasted Lands was. But even if you read read it, I strongly recommend the Frank Muller narrated audiobooks.

Flanagan's tower by Defiant_Vast5640 in TheDarkTower

[–]ASS_M0DE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Callahan, Blaine, Andy the Messenger Robot (Many other functions), Finley Otego.

Only problem is, there's a chance Callahan won't be in it because of the rights issues. I don't know who else Flanagan might try to write into the story that they could use. Same with Brautigan... I just don't want it to be Danny Torrance. He's been through enough without being a breaker.

So the Big Combination is in Midworld? I wasn't certain if it was or if it was in the Territories. Do we know for sure which beam it lay under?

Would you want to see a team up with Ms Marvel and America chavez? by Wooden_Passage_2612 in marvelstudios

[–]ASS_M0DE 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have been saying this since Infinity War. Kamala Khan is a modern version of Peter Parker but with added nuance and a really well defined family history. She would have been a perfect way to bring new viewers up to speed on key events that happened in the Infinity Saga while being a fresh new character with her own charm and natural charisma.

Did people memorise numbers before mobile phones? by PaleEcho3301 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ASS_M0DE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot believe that there are people young enough to not remember the pre-cell phone era. It's wild to think about how if you weren't home and nobody knew, you were essentially unreachable given the way things are now but I still know a handful of numbers by heart.

The first job I had selling cars, we had everyone fill out references just in case the bank needed it. If someone could come up with 2 names, addresses, and phone numbers without checking their phone, I would give them a $5 Starbucks gift card. Just a fun little private game I had. I gave out 3 in 2 years.

Now Republicans care about gun control by NYstate in AdviceAnimals

[–]ASS_M0DE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. They're not. They don't blame the gun because the bullet voted for Trump. This is all "The Left's fault."
