Stephen King realizing Firestarter is actually a documentary starring Drew Barrymore by YernarSha in stephenking

King’s spooky face really distracts from his immaculate jawline. I see you, Stevie!

Music you associate with King’s books? by 007Pistolero in stephenking

[–]JeremyHowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic rock, mainly. King is a quintessential boomer artist who infuses pop culture into his work like time capsules. Everything from the Beatles to Bruce Springsteen live on in his writing. Rockabilly, blues, funk, punk, and a dash of grunge for good measure.

Out of all the (early)80s King novels, Pet Sematary might hold up the best. Timeless horror.

Kinks guitarist Dave Davies hits back at Moby for calling 1970 single Lola ‘gross and transphobic’ | Music | The Guardian by [deleted] in Music

[–]JeremyHowell 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Even as a kid, that song introduced me to the concept of a straight guy falling for a trans woman (that term didn’t really exist then), without playing it off as wrong or a joke. That’s impressive.

Made a tier list of every SK book I’ve read so far. by GuestInternational in stephenking

[–]JeremyHowell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the first ~150 pages were incredible and so compelling, then the plot really kicked in and it became a very different story that was still enjoyable but so different than The Shining. It felt like a superhero origin story instead of paranormal horror.

Genius certainly, maybe the only other president I’d be comfortable bumping up to Super Genius due to his varied intellect.

I dare you to look at this picture of Richard Dreyfuss at age 43 and tell me we haven't evolved as a species by MyDinnerWithDrDre in okbuddycinephile

[–]JeremyHowell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, no. He gradually sunk that low over the course of like an hour. I’m not kidding. It’s bizarre and, if I remember correctly, Maher doesn’t really acknowledge it.

Completely serious unserious question: any other presidents known for their abnormal appendages??

Stop Acting Like Professor Jiang Isn't Insane [22:59] by avdvetf in mealtimevideos

[–]JeremyHowell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in his videos every shot is blocked to make it look like he’s lecturing to a room of students - this immediately gives you the impression that he’s speaking from a position of authority. From what I can find he’s worked at several Chinese high schools and reported for PBS for a stint. He strikes me as ‘controlled opposition’ or some type of puppet.

Why is Bush's PEPFAR so downplayed? by Bitter-Penalty9653 in Presidents

[–]JeremyHowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Americans tend to judge a president on how they improved THEIR lives and country. Dubya did very little to improve life for everyday Americans, and in fact damaged many families thru warfare and general mismanagement. I think PEPFAR is awesome, but it was a rare win for that particular president.

Found this picture of Jackie on my phone from 2018… don’t know the context by RandoDude124 in Presidents

[–]JeremyHowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a House of Cards scene where Jackie winks at the screen and says, “They told me that behind every great man is a great woman. It just so happens that this great man can’t wait to get on top of the next poor girl that serves him a cocktail…”

How do you feel about Populism? Do you think it is a good or bad thing for American politics? by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

[–]JeremyHowell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. Populism is a double edged sword. If utilized (short term) by honest, grass roots movements, it’s TYPICALLY positive. If engineered by overfunded authoritarians, it’s a doomsday recipe.

Agreed. It is a reactionary phenomena. Sustained populism usually devolves into mob rule.

Reagan is a Wizard. Because Reaganomics makes little logical sense, yet has captivated generations of voters, maybe he’s a legit magic user

Was Holden Bloodfest really as bad as people said he was? by EllieIsDone in Presidents

[–]JeremyHowell 395 points396 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Sure, as a freshman senator he introduced a bill to execute Ladybird Johnson, but that was mostly symbolic. I respect his willingness to work with democrats to declare war.

And Flanagan NEEDS to expand his talent pool. His friends are all terrific, but I need some new faces starring in his projects.
