I wish God would send a hurricane up the west coast. Just a small one, to out out the fires :(

Maybe cancer had become so bad that the chemo might not do much good at that point?

This is it. The kind of cancer she had, chemo isn't very effective. It was a choice of having the kid and dying, or killing the kid for a tiny chance at living a bit longer. It's the kind of cancer some patients forgo chemo just to be able to enjoy their last days.

On to my first retaliation mission, I faced the first chosen already.

I'm in love with this game all over again.

Not at all, they just have to be given the right jobs!

Send one of those smaller hurricanes up the west coast, put out those forest fires.

Also, as a book fan, you're going to get so many references that non-readers will likely miss. They clearly had a lot of love and respect for the source material.

I read the book as a kid like 20 years ago so I hope I catch some of them. I can remember certain scenes vividly and hope they keep one of my favorite visualizations in there

Super hyped to see it!

They change a lot, and most of the big scenes are different. Some are in there but happen differently, but mostly the movie does its own thing and does it extremely well. I think instead you'll find some new favorite visualizations.

I'm not going to see it because of the scare, since I don't get scared of movies. I just want to see the story and creepy stuff. I can get creeped out, don't expect to get scared.

I don't get scared either and there are a couple things that got me. Good, well earned jump scares and incredible visuals. And while it's very different from the book, it pays fanservice constantly without ever being distracting.

I know they deviate from the story a bit in how things happen, but it's an adaption and in an adaptation the most important part is to get the heart of the story and characters, which it seems the movie have done.

Oh yeah I'm not complaining. The movie was a masterful adaptation and does the book justice. There are a few things better in the book, but also a few things better in the movie.

That's too scary for me. I mean it probably won't be that scary but still.

Yes, yes it is. Just got back from it, it has some legitimate nightmare fuel.

Some amazingly disturbing visuals, great writing and performances, great comedy and tension, and some jump scares that are legit Nightmare fuel.

As well you shouldn't.

it had potential but it just never really reached it and kept making dumb decisions

I thought it was an astounding book until right after the bridge, then it went completely off the rails. Not only ridiculous, but it also lost ALL of the tension and emotional impact it had built up.

That's true. Tons of potential but ultimately floundered, unfortunately. Have you read 11/22/63 yet? I've heard a lot of great things about both the book and the show but haven't had the time to check either out myself.

I loved the book. Show turned me off because it changed so much about the book, but I'll have to give it another chance.

Looks like I'll start with the book as usual then. Prob check out the show after if I get time but that's a bummer to hear :/

Thanks for the info mate!

Yeah I've read almost all of King's stuff, so I'm always down to discuss him lol

And the show wasn't bad per se, it just changed a lot of details and how things worked, which seemed to change how the story will be structured. Don't let me turn you off it, at least until I give it another chance.

Will keep that in mind. Without spoiling too much can you describe the changes? Were they more people and events or like The yellow card guy (I think it was) or something similar/a huge change to how time travel works

I'm pretty clueless but a few things have slipped in as spoilers but even those I'm pretty clueless about.

Yeah, without spoilers, they kept in a lot of the details, but they cut out a huge portion of the book(he doesn't actually go back to save JFK until a decent ways into the book), and they changed a bit of how the time travel works, adding in a final destination kind of twist where if you change the past, time tries to stop you.

Why do you hate all children?

If I wanna roleplay as a monster who eats human flesh, I want to be able to go full bore and slaughter everyone if I choose.

Is cannabalizing little kids better or worse than a child gang bang?

I want you to ponder long and hard about this

I would utmost certainty say that the child gangbang is worse. In the video game context, it is annoying when you meet something an inconsistent game mechanic and it pulls you out of the immersion. You're able to kill adults and innocents in the Fallout universe but you can't harm the kids. Keep in mind we are talking about computer generated pixels and models here.

I remember playing Fallout 1 or 2, can't remember which. There is a city with kids who will come up and pickpocket you, but if you hit one of them they'll be scared and stop.

I visited this town later in the game than normal one time. I was way stronger. I accidentally punched a hole in a kid.

I read excerpts of the text.

It's, uh, it's definitely at least a little detailed. It's weird being inside the mind of an 11 year old girl having sex with like 5 boys.

In fact, it's kind of like pedophilic erotic fiction. This means one thing:

It really isn't detailed in any sort of sexual fashion, though. If anything, it plays it off as more romantic than anything, because that's what it's supposed to be - the kids making the move into adulthood, while symbolically sealing their bond with each other.

I never read the book. A child orgy is a thing?

In the book they go into the sewers and they all have sex with the girl in an attempt to basically be adults assuming IT would leave them alone after that. The girl even makes comments about one of the boys not having any hair down there suggesting prepubescence.

Keep in mind that King by his own admission was "coked out of his mind" when he wrote IT.

And thank god he was. Only a cracked out person could have came up with that gem.

Better than painkillers, as Dreamcatcher showed us.

So damn true... so damn true...

I gotta give DC a little love though. No bounce no play and SSDD stuck with me. That was a chore to get through though.

DC had some legitimately cool stuff, but it lost it. I feel like if he'd been able to take his time with it and wasn't writing it after the accident, we could've had a great novel.

i believe he also preferred the ending to the movie cujo rather than his own depressing ending to his book

and he prefers the ending to the mist movie than the one he wrote for the book

I much prefer the book ending. It's such a bleak punch to the gut, but I loved it.

I kinda wonder if Pet Sematary had anything objectionable in the book.

The whole book was objectionable. Bad book.

Bad opinion

Seriously. It's easily the most bleak thing King has done(though there are a few stiff competitors), but it's so damn good.

I like Gerald's Game. It's not amazing.

It'll probably be a terrible film though. I always imagined it as sort of a student project with with same woman playing Jesse, Goodwife Burlingame, and the fake Ruth all dressed differently since they're all just different aspects of herself.

I'd say wait and give the movie a shot. I hate the book, but the director is one of the best modern horror directors.

Quite literally my least favorite Stephen King book.

At least Dreamcatcher had potential. This was just bad.

I feel like most people who freak out about the scene haven't read it. It's disturbing in what it is, but it isn't exactly detailed, and it's fitting in the story thematically.

This is fucking hilarious to me, actually knowing the guy. I say "friend" because he's on Facebook solely for the fact that I almost never see him post so haven't bothered removing him.

Girl is coming down and we're going to hang out then see IT tonight, and might come home with me afterwards >.>;

Really cool girl and I decided to be friends after two dates, which is a shame but friends are still cool.

Then proceeded to talk on the phone until 3 am with another girl I met lol

It's early so that may change, but the consensus I'm seeing is it's one of the best King movies.

So, opinion time: At what point am I a dick for still being on OKC?

I found a cool girl on there, we've had a couple good dates now, but we're not in a relationship or exclusive. Still messaging girls on OKC(though admittedly, some of them I'm strictly interested in friends), just to keep myself from mentally focusing on the one girl. Dick move or no? >.>;

It's all good until you both agree you're exclusive.

This

That said if you like this girl and want to take it to the next step, deleting OKC might impress her and make her feel better about you

Yeah, not ready for the next step yet. But she is damn cool :D

Let me guess, this is the same psychiatrist everyone keeps quoting despite being dismissed in his field because he has no experience working with transgendered patients?

I mean, given the fact that he's misusing Gender Dysphoria, which is not the term for feeling of the opposite gender but the term for anxiety stemming from the feeling your body does not match your gender(an important distinction as not not all transgenders have GD, and that GD is treatable), it's safe to say we can write him off.

Dr. McHugh, who was psychiatrist-in-chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital for 26 years, the medical institute that had initially pioneered sex-change surgery – and later ceased the practice

Seems he has some experience, at least

No, it doesn't. John Hopkins pioneered sex change surgery, but that doesn't mean he was involved in it - John Hopkins has lots of different medical fields. He has no authority in this subject.

They've committed no crime(under either moral or legal standards), and they very frequently have no real solution to their situation without something like DACA. They can't gain legal status without leaving the country, but they have no home anywhere else to go to.
