Teaching the ol' dog new tricks?Throw the ole dog a bone?
Understood...I was referring to the Playboy covers in my post...
....I was gonna make a golden retriever joke....but ewwwwww!....People doing it in the bougainvillea?
It's alright, Scott. I went there.........I was gonna make a golden retriever joke....but ewwwwww!....
I heard they helped proofread some of his books but I guess since the Shining was earlier in his career it makes more senseHis children didn't read all his books. Owen said around the time they were promoting Sleeping Beauties that he never had read The Shining until recently.
He's not really the type of writer who writes for his children primarily I think, the way some writers start. Maybe some of his books, like Eyes of the Dragon, but not the majority I think.

Very well, expect my bill in the next few weeks...I know. But that was a good opportunity and example for me to point out when I find it gratuitous or not.

I hear what you're saying. I'm not offended by it at all either as long as it is a vital part of the plot or story.
I've said this a bazillion times on here, but if sex is thrown in just for shock value, I think the author failed. But, I'm not sure I've noticed Stephen has increased the bumpachickabowbow in his stories.
I don't know a lot about 'grooming' young people but isn't this what is done to the victims of child sexual abuse?For example, in Doctor Sleep the True Knot are watching porn movies to throw Abra off-balance with the images - the idea is quite absurd.

They were trying to disturb her (that is just the way I see it) or perhaps he was illustrating just how terrible/evil the True Knot was.I don't see how that's connected...
My point is that I don't get why they're watching porn as a kind of diversion technique. It's just so bizarre, and bizarre in a silly way, not a good way.
