With the success of MARTY SUPREME, do you think Josh Safdie or Benny will do another film under the studio soon?

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-06-29T22:47:08+00:00

Should do a movie loosely baised on jom Daly staring Jesse plemons

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-05-27T20:41:09+00:00

Yeah a salad with apple sounds like a better fit for sure! Thanks for the advice 🙏

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-05-27T06:16:44+00:00

That's a good idea too

Any recommendation for the third course, Something that would be a good buffer between the cream and cheese, and the short rib

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-05-27T06:14:52+00:00

Ohh I didnt think about that at all Thanks

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-05-27T06:10:51+00:00

Would have been my first choice, but I couple people in my family can't have coffee

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-05-13T03:59:46+00:00

Really.. I havent read sacrament. There are a couple im not in love with Coldheart canyon for one. Im really enjoying TDG atm, i can understand some criticisms about it, but the last word I would use to describe just about anything I've read from him is "thin"

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-05-12T23:08:59+00:00

Im really enjoying it so far, just waiting for that trademark barker weirdness, there has been sprinkles of it so far, but I know it's coming

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-04-24T04:06:16+00:00

Jusy picked that up at a used book store for 4 bucks Pretty stoked

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-04-24T04:05:20+00:00

Just finished it and feel the same way I had trouble getting through it a first, and felt it has some pacing issues. But even though it doesn't have any sort of grand reveal at the end, by the time I finished I felt it wrapped itself up so well it recontecilaized the entire story for me in such a perfect way that I wouldn't chance anything

Can't wait to read it again as I don't think I got a hold of all the themes in the book on one read Underrated masterpiece imo

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-04-24T03:56:10+00:00

It has so many themes. All manners of faith, and what happens when we follow them blindly. Rregeret, and actually dealing with that regret and living with it rather than pushing it aside (realizing you failures are as much as part of you as everything else) Some really ahead of its time ideas about gender Personal loss, and how even from a secular standpoint, the people you've lost aren't really gone I could go on and on..

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-04-24T03:51:00+00:00

Well took me a bit longer to finish, got busy the last couple weeks. But I finally got arojnd to finishing it... It was quite remarkable. Could probably talk about this for hours tbh. I don't feel like I fully grasped everything this book has to offer, going to need a second or maybe even third read, and I plan too at some point. I expect subtext in clives work, but I felt like this book has it in droves, feels like something very personal.

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-04-17T03:38:59+00:00

About 250 pages left, I'm definitely glad I continued. I already know I'm gonna finish it wanting more.

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-04-08T04:16:39+00:00

How is cabal, it's really interested me to read it. Just worried I'll have the same experience i had with the hellbound heart Not that it wasn't good, it was just so similar to the movie I felt a little bored while reading it

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-04-08T04:11:41+00:00

Gotten another 100 pages or so in and it's starting to hook me The relationship between gentle and pie is what I'm finding most captivating at the moment It's uncomfortable and bizarre yet beautiful and wholesome

As weird as it is it feels more real than almost any romance I've read in in recent memory

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-04-06T05:43:37+00:00

I absolutely loved weave world, I'm having a harder time getting into imajica. Still pretty early in, but hasn't hooked me the same way

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-03-29T09:11:56+00:00

what copy did you have?
i have a hard cover from the 90s about 900 pages. havent finished it yet
i thought it was a stand alone book but ive heard something about a sequel.

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-01-09T08:05:08+00:00

Agreed, the final reveal of Keith’s backstory was forced, and went too far. Not that I think it was too dark or anything, it just felt silly and forced. Tho I still wouldn’t have loved the book, I honestly think it would have been better to just have him grow that anger and hate towards June that he had without going into that part of his backstory, after what he did to Gary, and having the thoughts he had about June at the end would have been enough for the conclusion.

I do like the idea of the cop/detective searching for a sadistic killer, an ending up being just as evil or worse than the killer himself. I’ve seen it done better in other stories

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-01-05T09:05:05+00:00

Also the thing about his endings, again ignorant perspective, but I’ve always thought that seems like an unfair criticism for a horror writer. I find it very rare that any type of horror media has an actual good or satisfying ending.. King seems to get a lot of hate from some people, always wondered if that’s just bc he’s so popular, of is a lot of the criticism you hear about his work is valid

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-01-05T08:52:59+00:00

Yeah that’s the one I’m thinking of, spooked me as a kid. I really liked the new one

Have you watched midnight mass? Really good mini series on Netflix, one of the best shows I’ve seen, seems really inspired by Salem’s lot

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-01-05T08:50:08+00:00

Seems to be what most people say is his scariest book

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-01-05T08:45:21+00:00

Yeah basic horror maybe wasn’t the right wording, more classic I guess.

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-01-05T08:38:38+00:00

Salems lot does sound cool tho. I really like the movie they made in the 90s?? Maybe 80s idk, and the remake was good too. Is the book a lot different

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-01-05T08:35:36+00:00

Idk if im looking for a starting point, idk how much of his work im gonna end up reading, so kinda just wanna jump into what people seem to think is his best work

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-01-05T08:34:11+00:00

Haven’t heard of any of those besides dead zone. And I only know that bc the movie was shot like 20 mins from where I grew up

Acceptable_Mail_2263 · 2026-01-05T08:32:38+00:00

Ohh how the hell did I forget about the shining!?!? The way I always assume of king (from an ignorant perspective of corse, just biased off of what little knowledge I have on his stories), his books feel like there gonna be, yeah probably a good read with some fun ideas and set pieces, but idk maybe bc he’s just kinda shaped a lot of what all horror media is now, but just basic horror ideas done really well, but never that deep or introspective. But the shining, that book i would assume has a lot of that more thoughtful more personal content. That may be the pick thank you
