Moron: Stephen King
Sunday, June 11, 2006
 
I've never liked Stephen King's books, which is probably why I haven't read past the first page of any of his stuff. The word moron comes to mind whenever I hear his name mentioned. So now more than ever he's shown the world his blatant stupidity.

In a review published on the back page of Entertainment weekly written by him caught my eye, more specifically a bold quote of his on the left side of the article.

"When I hear critics warning audiences that United 93 might upset them - in that same year that the ferocious and bloody Hostel topped the box office - I can only shake my head in amazement." - Stephen King


First and foremost, how can he compare a crap movie like Hostel to United 93? One film is a depiction of what really happened on 9/11 in a flight hijacked by terrorists and the other, a poorly put together fabrication of fictional events that will probably never happen.

When people go to see Hostel, they go for its entertainment value, and I don't think there's anyone aside from terrorists who would take pleasure out of United 93. Therefore, audiences had to be warned, because those events took place only 5 years ago, still fresh in our minds.

He needs to get his fat head out of the ground and understand there are non-fictional films being released every so often that have more of an impact on people than his corny attempts at horror films.

You've never liked Stephen King's books, though you admit to not having read anything he's done. I won't bother trying to convince you that the man is indeed a great writer but you should try the soup before you decide whether or not you hate it, no?

You sound like a big fat idiot. Read some King and re-read his quote, which you heedlessly misinterpreted.

I often persuse the clumsy and amateurish writings made by bloggers who feel the need to express themselves. It's funny that you seem to eager to "be heard" yet you have nothing to say. Your writing is juvenile, your insights non-existent. You judge something that you've never actually read. Very intelligent. You're a fool, and clearly don't know very much about literature. Don't quit your day job.

I have to agree with the previous comments. Your arguments have little merit and are poorly researched,I think YOU need to consider what you say and NOT attack Mr.King's comment. Quit being just a jealous ninny cause no one cares what you think.
