Neesy, you are so sweet to ask if I'll be going to the Kon! I'm not going, but it's SO nice to be thought about!On final post before I get back to work:
Are danie, staropeace, and VampireLily all going to be at this year's King Kon? (Just sayin )
Ha! This is a good one! )When he uses French sayings and gets it wrong. I know in some places it's meant to be gotten wrong by the character but other times not and as a French native it makes me cringe a little.
I ...the same.... ...it's maybe me too sensitive when it comes to animal cruelty, but I never ever understood, nor enjoyed his use of animal cruelty to depict how mean the characters are....more, hated when the cats are the bad guys and so on....though, I know he is a good person and never could hurt an animal....I hate that parts, but I still love SKThe only time I put pins in my SK doll is when he kills a dog
...I'm straight and I'd date both of you'uns!....Gurl, you're hot. I'm straight and i'd date you....
...and not all sex is curled toes and ecstatic cries...because not all of us are magnificent and proficient lovers...I do OK, but my points is-I've always thought what he wrote-awkward, adolescent or what have you-rang all the more true BECAUSE it was written that way...No one seems to be getting my point. I'll just say it once more and be done with it: many (not all) of his sex scenes are very childish; as if written by an adolescent boy. They are out right laughable. This is my point. Amen.
Neesy, you are so sweet to ask if I'll be going to the Kon! I'm not going, but it's SO nice to be thought about!
I would love to meet you all, but I'm held back by several factors. Maybe someday...
Y'all pervs need to get a room
it's like SK watched a two day marathon of 70's blaxploitaion movies and gave birth to Detta Walker. Whenever I read "honky mo-fo" I cringe...the only thing that King has done that ever really grated on me, and this may harken back to an earlier post-is what I felt was the over the top "nasty" 'Detta Holmes....way to much stereotyped slanguage and carrying on...the point could have been made without so much vileness...
I can't believe noone has mentioned this yet: arc sodium lights.
not really a dislike but am I the only one who has no idea what ozone smells like? can't quote from any particular book but SK has a thing for the smell of ozoneHi guys! I'm curious, is there something you don't like in SK's work? A character that you dislike? ... (not in the way you dislike the bad guy, because most of them are awful) a theme, an idea, a description? something?
He is not the only writer who smells ozone. I have never in my life lol.
What are "creaks"?Some of the dialogue in the early books is a bit creaky. Like in Salems Lot. I thought so then and I think so now. It's nothing to do with the story itself, just some of the dialogue. Not so much in the later books. Still, I'm not a writer but I do read a lot and Sk isn't the only one who creaks now and again. Not wishing to offend fans of Dean Koontz, but IMO his dialogue is drowned by all the creaks.
Then gimme the room number.Y'all pervs need to get a room
19, obviouslyThen gimme the room number.
...hells to the yeah!...it's like SK watched a two day marathon of 70's blaxploitaion movies and gave birth to Detta Walker. Whenever I read "honky mo-fo" I cringe
Well, the OP mentioned sK works. Most of the movies are not his works.I seriously can't think of much, but as for the movies...
