Today's Glow Bull Wormining Story: Daily Mail Outs "Hippie-Crites".

Never having been a King fan, I guess my boycott won't affect his comfortable living!
Didn't this guy get hit by a car a couple years back? Maybe his noggin got bounced off the pavement?

Funny, last night I caught the latest Stephen King movie The Mist, courtesy of digital TV that intercepts the On Demand that neighbors order. It was the usual military doing evil things plot - opening a doorway to hell and giant bugs and spiders preying on innocent people in the town around the military base. Of course the military did save the day by incinerating the buggers with flame throwers. One featured plot was a Christian woman portrayed as a Jim Jones type wacko spouting bible verses who convinced her "followers", holed up in a grocery store, to kill a young army recruit and sacrifice him to the monsters outside after he told them about what he heard the army scientists were up to. She then proceeds to demand a child and woman be sacrificed next. Some guy put a bullet between her eyes to silence her. The last descent thing King did was The Stand - even that had the big evil military industrial complex as the villian who created the superflu that wiped out most of mankind. Nowadays King is just more open about his hatred of the military and government.

Obviously, King's accident and injuries lead him to drug addiction. He should just stick with buddying up to his crack dealer and shut the f#ck up! I imagine if terrorists kidnapped him and Kerry and threatened to decapitate them on film, the military wouldn't be "smart enough" to rescue them! These people make me sick.

When King was hit by that van years ago, it changed him at a molecular level. He used to be a somewhat controversial author who managed to incorporate some form of awe and respect for the spiritual world in his works. He blatantly made use of the concept of a "higher power" in almost all of his stories.

Everything he has written after the accident is reflective of the bitter, self-absorbed, hateful, toxically downward spiral he has been going through since then. He has truly slipped into hack writer mode of late. It also seems that he's done like everyone else in Famous Land and tried to insert his own brainless commentary on the state of a world that he is incapable of understanding.

Such a waste.

Another thing is that as some people age the become more Moonbatty as time goes on - its a form of senility. Jimmy Carter is a prime example. He used to be simply a forgotten failed President then he went total Moonbat and began his downward spiral into Moonbattery.

King's Fellow Anti-Military Nutzoids Are Frustrated because nobody gives a crap about them.

I'd have to agree with Thulsa's comments. After King's accident, he's become a pathetic hack.
His books from the 80s were good, but his stuff now sucks, even small works. For instance, I tried to get into the 'Dark Tower' comic book miniseries he put out (The first one, not the one he's currently doing), but it was so boring I gave up on it after 2 issues.

Well, gawrsh, golly, gee whillikers, I guess that there Mr King sure is one heck of a lot smarter than us dumb old military folks, like me, 'cause I only have a BA in Arabic, I also taught myself Greek (I was stationed in Greece...a lot) and now I am soooo stupid that I will be graduating from that little place called Johns Hopkins University with an MA in Writing. Now I may never make the money he does but, then again, I don't make the same money as a high-priced Las Vegas whore either. Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk!

Sign me up for that Club V!!!!!

And Bob, thank you for your service, as it is appreciated by us "typical white folks" with the inferior IQs. LOL!!!!

Thulsa Doom I have to take issue with you.

He used to be a somewhat controversial author who managed to incorporate some form of awe and respect for the spiritual world in his works. He blatantly made use of the concept of a "higher power" in almost all of his stories.

In the movie 1408 he did revert back to that style. The rest of you post I will give a hearty amen to.

Have you seen his message board? The libs are going nuts over this. They are truly a warped bunch. One even said he would comment on Bush and the like if it wasn't for the fact that the CIA may read it and he would disappear. Pa-lease. Name me one person who has been arrested for telling Bush to go and F#ck himself. Again, they truly do live in a different world.

Robert, I haven't seen the movie, as I generally don't read or watch anything connected to him anymore. I'll have to take a look at that now that you mention it.

He was pushing me further and further away from his work with every new publishing, but after the flying, telepathic zombies in Cell I kinda lost interest in him altogether.

Stephen King has jumped ship from the U.S.S. Sanity.

Thulsa,

It is a good movie, frankly I was surprised by it. I was thinking that maybe had had gone into rehab to get off the Flintstones chewable OxyContin and was coming back to the world of the sane, but after watching The Mist I see he really is gone.

The Mist didn't bother me as much as some other stuff he's made recently. It was based pretty closely on the novella he wrote several years before his bump'n'go. But the movie definately had more of an anti-military spin to it than the written piece did, that's for sure.

Actually, now that I think about it, I must amend what I said about King not making anything good since the 80s:
'Desperation' was a good enough read (And the made- for- tv movie of it put out a couple years ago was good).
The TV miniseries he made some years ago, "Rose Red," was pretty cool and scary.
Those, however, are rare exceptions, as the bulk of his recent work sucks big time.

What a miserable turn of events this is! I have been one of King's biggest fans for most of my life, and turned my daughter on to his movies when she was fourteen. I considered most of his stuff to be spectacular. I thought he was losing his touch with some others, though, but stuck with him anyway like a "good little soldier". Then he dealt the ultimate insult. I spent eight years and a lot of money on the audio version of the Dark Tower series. (Frank Muller is the best narrator ever to walk the planet, in my humble opinion, and he will be sorely missed after his own horrible motorcycle accident.) I was obsessed with The Dark Tower stuff (or at least as obsessed as a normal, rational person can be over such a thing). Then I got to the end of the last book and was outraged! What a waste of time! It was an incredible story, but the ending was criminally anti-climatic and terribly disappointing- so much so that it made me want to break something and never spend another penny on his work). Then, as usual, I forgave and forgot, and added to my collection like an idiot of the greatest magnitude. I hated Cell and was angry about the way Room 1408 ended. Don't even get me started on how I feel about the ending to Mist! I have every book, movie and audio book the man ever made to date. Then this! I suppose that gives me the right to say what I'm about to say. It appears as though King has lost his touch, not to mention the respect of his fans. He no longer follows through. He starts off with an agreeable story line and then throws an ending at us that is so discouraging we'd swear he's angry at us for something. If this is how he treats his biggest fans, seems we need to find someone else to entertain us. I cannot say it is due to his accident or not. But something has him lashing out like a tantrumous child, and I, for one, have had quite enough! I came from a military family. My father was a marine and is a fine, intelligent person that I simply adore. My brother was a frog man in the navy- a certified genious with master's degrees in zoology, herpatology and marine biology. Does that sound like someone who can't read? It breaks my heart, but I'm here to say King has accomplished the impossible. I'm done with him for good. I wouldn't acqire another of his works if I was paid to do so, so forget spending money on him! Sorry for rambling, but I had to get it off my chest. Thanks!
