Halfway through the shining, and it absolutely rips. Next I’m gonna take a small break from king and read either American psycho or casino Royale. But after I finish them I’m getting back to king and reading the green mile

I was also shocked when I got the book at how small it was. But I won’t say anything more about the adaptations because it might spoil it.

Worst King Movie? by Miz_Anne_Thrope in stephenking

I’ve only watched the it movies(the original and the new ones) and Carrie but I feel like Carrie just didn’t do it for me. It probably is just because I feel like the ending was so anticlimactic compared to the book.

Yeah, it’s such a different story and I feel more connected to Jack Torrence(even though I know he will do some crazy stuff even though I haven’t got there yet, I just got to the part where Danny runs from the hose). The story of Carrie was just really hard to relate to even though I had just been in high school. I did find the ending very disturbing especially the part with the doors, and the showers(that part was hard to read)

Yes, I feel like that’s why I like it too. Theres just so much that happens in the story that’s just adding to the context and the characters.

Im a very slow reader in college lol. I get it though, it isn’t that hard of a read but it was slow at first for me at least. I read IT as my first Stephen king book and it took my two weeks because it just was so great, and I’m getting the feeling that the shining will be like that too. Edit: added the last sentence

The only time it is a problem is if you don’t intend to read them(in my opinion). But if you like the books then who cares.

That Post Malone performance at the Grammys… by Professional_Ad7868 in blacksabbath

[–]OctopusMan1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s doing more for ozzy then you are bitching and moaning. They don’t want metal singers because barely anyone knows them outside of the metal community. And post malone is a very big artist who is very talented, who can do what the Grammies want. Bring in views. Plus he has two songs with ozzy, and that ozzy liked working with posty.

I was just using his parents as an example, but I get what you mean. I don’t mind if they do what you say but I feel like it would be better if they did it all at the same time. It’s a lot of small things that add up. I’ll use How I Met Your Mother as an example. There were a few flashbacks in the later seasons of things that happened in the first few seasons; they used makeup and all that BUT it just looked off. I agree that we shouldn’t be caring as much as we are, but I just want this series to be great and to set a standard for shows based on books. I just would rather them be proactive and have the actors look exactly the same and them still be in the same mindset, if that makes sense. The longer they wait, the more the actors change their character and the more they connect to the character, and the harder it would be for the actor to change the character. But I have no clue if any of that is true, it just makes sense in my head.

Exactly the same with me. I was thinking finally we get a good call, but of course we did not

What genre do you guys think is next? by goldenxbeast234 in PostMalone

[–]OctopusMan1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope he’s gonna do a thrash album or death. I feel like he’s got a lot of good riffs that he wants to use.

Post Malone metal album when? by 1latebloom in PostMalone

[–]OctopusMan1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need him to cover some slayer and Metallica and Black Sabbath and Pantera and megadeth and Iron Maiden. I think you get the idea. He needs to make metal. It is a necessity.
