Damn. A 3. I'm glad that something can be marked double-plus ungood.
SK is Too Big To Edit. As is a certain New Orleans author. And someone who can make a 3-hour King Kong.

"Someone who can make a 3-hour King Kong" being Too Big to Edit... I feel your pain. He was even Too Big to Edit by LOTR Return of the King, a movie with about fourteen ending scenes.

Thank FUCKING God I found somebody that can agree with me about the end of that movie. I have refused to watch it since I saw it in theaters.

I hold a large grudge against that movie, because I had to piss like a racehorse by the end of it, and all I could think was 'I sat through this for three hours, there is no way in Hell I'm getting up now!'
As you can guess, I became increasingly more angry each time it seemed like it was going to end and DIDN'T. Fuck.

Well I mean man you have got to be fair. The first two barely had endings and so he was basically ending an eleven hour movie which takes some thought, you know? At least he did a Cool Thing or Two in those movies.

Not only that but in the books.. they return to the Shire and it is in flames due to an Orc attack.

I was sad but unsurprised that he glossed over the entire segment about "Sharky" and his crew. Should have been more Christopher Lee action.

I disagree. How the hell does that look after an epic, 9-hour (movie time) quest to destroy a ring that can enslave the world? People who had not read the book would think that PJ had heated up some marijuana.
It didn't even come across that well in the book.

I disagree. I liked that part of the book. Overall I felt Return of the King was the weakest of the series but that segment made up for it a little bit.

I like this strip, but I'm a sucker for Nice Pete. I should probably get this examined.
What's interesting is the disparity between Pete's prose and his blogging voice. This is much more bashful and compassionate.

He's trying to write a heartwarming small-town American comedy like Forrest Gump or that thing with Renee Zellwegger.

This is it, I've now read every single Achewood comic in the archive. Not the greatest not to end on, but still a wonderful journey.

I don't know, I think it's a good example of what makes Achewood different from the pack: this kind of wild experimentation that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

I am glad this advertorial strip exists because I had no idea whatsoever what I could expect from Nice Pete's books.

Nice Pete's writing style is eerily similar to Stephen King's. All he needs are children's rhymes in italics between every paragraph.

You have shown that you can quote a family guy episode; good for you.
Maybe you can develop your own opinions?
You really showed him!
That's my favorite novel. Why? Because good books have strong characters, and the length is worth it. I can't stand books that are all action and no character development.
the big thing about King is that he's solid at starting a book, but bad at finishing them off. if you've read many of his prefaces you'll know the guy takes pride in never knowing what the plot's going to be like when he starts a book. hundred percent, some people are able to pull that off and write a solid and consistent piece, but not King. especially in the case of Insomnia and the Dark Tower series, he gets so mad caught up in the narrative style he's famous for (i.e. take song lyrics and make them have Connotations) that by the end of the story he's standing there wondering where he was headed.
so at that point he starts writing it as high fantasy and maybe advertises Dark Tower a little.
At least he didn't get born again like some famous writers who live in New Orleans and write about vampires.
Famous author also writes bondage porn, c.f. "A.N. Roquelaure".
Is it any good?
Preternaturally so.
I'll give you a synopsis of the trilogy that is Anne Rice's ( under the pseudonym A.N. Roquelaure) The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty .
FIRST BOOK: BDSM, rape and severe stockholm syndrome.
SECOND BOOK: Everything you ever wanted to know about the pleasures of anal stimulation, and more. For both the boys and the ladies.
THIRD BOOK: Anne Rice started getting bored and decided to throw some kinky persians in there, or something. Also, Beauty (one could theoretically refer to her as the "protagonist"), gets free but is all, "WHY ISN'T ANYONE HITTING ME WHILE CALLING ME A BITCH AND RAPING MY BUTT?" while her poor parents try to find her a suitable husband. Eventually some dude that was another slave or whatever comes by and offers to be her "master" and she creams herself.
All of these were read by the time I was 15 years old.
That sounds awesome! Why'd she have to go all Christian when her husband died? He was an atheist. I don't get it.
...is that question really in the third book?
I will read the book just to see it in print.
Basically. You'd think having your ass be used for something other than a sperm container would be a positive, but that young woman pitches a shitfit when her parents get her with a guy that... well, maybe not respects her as a person but doesn't greet her with a good hard dicking.
In short: Verbatim, no. In essence: Yes.
Chubbied just for shitfit alone. Nice piece of poetry, friend.
...although this did suddenly decrease my interest in the book.
Most of my later high school years were spent lending that trilogy to everyone I was on a first name basis with. It was also read aloud at birthday parties (assuming the parents were not present).
I'd read just because it's by far the most offensive book to catholic grandmothers around the world.
For some reason "and she creams herself" is hilarious to me right now and I have given this comment a Chubby.
Cry to Heaven or whatever that one's called is about EUNUCH SEX!
Eunuch....... sex?
She moved to Cally-forny and writes about Jesus now. It's a well-deserved punishment for her and a blessing for the people of New Orleans.
Yeah, it almost makes up for that whole Katrina thing.
Hey, he writes some shitty books sometimes, but he also wrote some classics. "Christine" and "Kujo" and "Carrie" and "Pet Sematary" are all part of everyone's collective unconscious now.
The man writes a million books a year. He is working hard and I think you owe him some RESPECT.
I chubbied this because I'm not entirely certain how sarcastic you are being, and that raises questions.
Stephen King is the Bollywood of the literary world.
Man, do NOT forget The Dark Tower. Pretty much one of the greatest things ever written.
At the very least, it made up for Gerald's Game/Rose Madder/Dolores Claiborne/Misery/all that.
When I was a child, the cover image of Rose Madder deeply frightened me.
one of the greatest things ever written, you say
To shreds, you say
I did not enjoy any of the Dark Tower series
I highly enjoyed both Gerald's Game and Misery, however
The Stand has not been mentioned yet.
No, fuck you.
Guys come on the Dark Tower is sweet.
Insomnia put me to sleep. NO. I will not apologize!
I like Stephen King, mostly his short stories.
That said, I can never bring myself to actually even rent Cell from the library.
The kicker is in the author bio in the back it says "Stephen King lives blah blah blah.. He does not own a cell phone."
I hesitiate, bite my lip, and put it back on the shelf.
Cell didn't suck, despite being really recent.
I loved the Dark Tower, but my favorite King book is still the Stand. "It" had a lot of very good parts and some not-so-good parts.
