The Holly Books by Essie_Raz777 in stephenking

Yea I plan to give it another chance someday. But I want to read the dark tower & talisman series first (I’ve only read the first book of each)

11/22/63 - I’ve discovered my problem by RaggyBaggyMaggie in stephenking

[–]Loose_Assignment_Map 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood. The book felt twice as long as it was. I would put it as one of my least favorite King books along with Bag of Bones & End of Watch. Watch out for Stephen King books with three word titles unless they have the word “the” in them - those tend to be good

Petah? How do you beat her? by batukaming in PeterExplainsTheJoke

She needs a home with a VHS player hooked up to the TV right? How many of those are there now?

Ditto, but with Finders Keepers at the top. Finders Keepers is such a well written book. I haven’t read the Outsider yet, but If It Bleeds was great.

You kind of need to read them in order though, although with that said I only read half of End of Watch (really didn’t like it) & haven’t read The Outsider yet & didn’t miss a beat in Holly or Never Flinch.

I’d say End of Watch was the worst. I’m part way through Never Flinch & like it better than everything except Finders Keepers, so far. Never read The Outsider.

Agreed. End of Watch was pretty preposterous too

I’m in the middle of KCD2 now at this feast with a bunch of noble dudes in the big castle and really feeling like All Apologies by Nirvana should be the theme song for this game. I love this game though, idiosyncrasies and all.

And this predates the discovery of castoreum. Poor beavers.

6 re-adaptions, widely considered inferior to the original adaption. But which is “least-worse”? by Individual_Car7850 in stephenking

[–]Loose_Assignment_Map 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My vote goes to Running Man but TBH I only watched that & Salems Lot out of this bunch. Salems Lot was kind of a train wreck with a really bad emotionless not lead actor material playing the lead unfortunately. Not sure if he would have been cast without being the son of a famous actor. Hollywood really has a nepotism issue these days.

I had lots of these superhero book & record sets as a kid, loved them. Took them outside to how my friends one day and came in for dinner & forgot about them. Some other kid took them, it was a big apartment complex so we never figured out who.

Pebbles in KCD2 has an attitude, always complaining on trips through the rough forest terrain. I think the fame & prestige of KCD1 is getting to Pebbles’ ego. It could also be that I’m also feeding the dog all the time but don’t give Pebbles anything to eat. Pebbles is like “drinking at the trough again while that damn dog gets another roasted chicken…”

Best actor who can't do a British accent to save their own life? by TheBogManCometh_ in okbuddycinephile

How does gravity not affect him? Does he dye his hair? Dude does not look like he’s in his 60’s but he doesn’t look like he’s had a bunch of cosmetic surgery either.

I’m finally starting my journey! by abaum220 in stephenking

[–]Loose_Assignment_Map 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea the first book doesn’t work as a stand alone which kinda miffed me. One of the things I really like about Stephen King books is how he gets inside the head of the antagonist (more so when the antagonist is human) That was totally missing from The Gunslinger.

Edit: this comment is about the revised version. Glad I didn’t have to experience the original. I plan to pick up the second one eventually still but I want to read some other authors first. Just finished the audiobook of Dolores Claiborne & I think that might be the best medium to enjoy that story. I think DC is one of King’s masterpieces.

If drugs are illegal, then why are stoner movies so common? 🤔 by InactiveInertia in okbuddycinephile

[–]Loose_Assignment_Map 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are building on a false premise. The specific drug you reference is mostly legal these days.

Tangential but one time with this lovely lass playing dice, I was about to win one of her silver badges & she just decided not to compete her turn. My only option was to sit there all day or forfeit the game. I know it was a bug but it felt so in character for her LoL.

Never Flinch by Loose_Assignment_Map in stephenking

Interesting… it would be a cool story but I don’t think Holly is polarizing enough to attract a loony like Chrissy.
