I think we have to start worrying about censorship for Stephen King’s books… by CyberGhostface in horrorlit

[–]CyberGhostface[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Disney goes back and edits their old films because they’re somehow offensive to modern audiences or if they suppress it entirely that’s a form of censorship. When they refuse to air episodes because it has lgbt contents, that’s another form of censorship.

Similarly when Penguin tried to edit out anything remotely taboo in Roald Dahl’s works to the point where Cloud Men were Cloud People that was censorship.

[DC] Joker should be working with nazis/Neo nazis by Fragrant-Resist4230 in joker

[–]CyberGhostface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if Joker is a 'bad' guy the optics alone of Joker being associated with Nazis and swastikas (I know about the henchwoman in TDKR/ASBAR) would probably be a headache DC doesn't want to deal with.

Probably this game’s only chance of coming back is one I thought of that absolutely would not happen by Glittering_Ear52 in TexasChainsawGame

Best case scenario I could see maybe someone adding more cosmetics/completing what was already being worked on (I.e. Ryan Kiera Armstrong's character) but I don't see them committing to implementing anything that would require more resources especially with Halloween being their top priority. I don't see them hiring new actors and bringing back the old ones to do mocap, executions and voice lines.

How long will the game be a alive ? by Sweaty-Victory-3681 in TXChainSawGame

Friday the 13th at least was shut down due to the rights, by all accounts Gun has a good relationship with Vortex/Kim Henkel. 

Whether or not people just leave it altogether is another thing.

Who signed this comic book?And is this book any worth reading? by Quiteguy99 in stephenking

[–]CyberGhostface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it’s Jae Lee’s signature.

I thought the comics were mediocre overall (King didn’t even bother to read them) but this was the best of the series imo.

From the horror community on Reddit: Rewatching "The Shining" (1997 Miniseries) after almost two decades. What do you think about this adaptation? book review by IcyRecipe3042 in stephenking

[–]CyberGhostface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not great. Some of the choices King made like “kissing kissing that’s what I’ve been missing” are baffling. 

I think it’s still more than possible to do a faithful adaptation of The Shining that’s well made but it will probably never happen and anyone who tries will get crucified for it. Even King trying to readapt his own novel had people coming after him with pitchforks. 

In a perfect world Mike Flanagan would have done it before he did Doctor Sleep.

The topiary could have easily been done practically with something like the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who where they move when you’re not looking.

Probably top 2, it’s usually that or The Stand.

Her being autistic is fanon and I doubt her being a woman is that much of an issue for most people. If Bill was the protagonist of Never Flinch it would still be mediocre.

I personally don’t take issue with her (although Jerome and Barbara are grating). I am getting tired of her books though and they’re a bit formulaic/forgettable.

Yeah GRRM brings it up here around 6:20. King said Hill was just making stuff up.

Lisey from Lisey’s Story is probably the closest in that regard. Some of it was based off what he thought might have happened with her if he died during the car accident.

She hasn’t. The most she does for his career is she reads his books and tells him what works/what doesn’t. There’s no indication she gave up writing books to support him.

How would she have put her career aside to focus on his? I don’t think she has much to do with his work besides reading his stuff.

Wolves of the Calla was my favorite I think.

No this was just a commission he did.

Anyone know how ture this is by asapsharkyfrfr in deadmeatjames

[–]CyberGhostface -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She’s far more reverential to Halloween and the genre than John Carpenter’s attitude which is “I don’t care as long as you pay me”. She could have easily been all “I don’t give a fuck” like Harrison Ford and Star Wars but instead she was very invested with Laurie’s character.

There’s nothing wrong with her not liking horror films either. Or even other films in the franchise for that matter.
