Freelance writer for various sites (Polygon, Coming Soon, Looper, Space.com, PCGamer, CulturedVultures, Unwinnable, Paste, EGMNOW, Playboy). It's more like pounding words into a keyboard, but I've made a living of it.

Only one jarring, somewhat racist comment that I noticed. Might be time to re-watch the movie and finally get to that sequel.
Sissy Spacek does the narration for the Audible version, which is very appropriate, and she does a decent job. We can see a lot of early tropes in this story that King would embrace for some time, and there are a few passages that stand out as incredibly powerful, very well written.
Finally saw The Menu (2022) after a bunch of recommendations, and they weren't wrong. Pretentious, perhaps, but quite enjoyable, and I loved our main character, as well as a few of the others. Not you, Nicholas Hoult, you deserved worse. A silly, yet appropriate ending.

Last up, The Fall (2006), a simple title that starts off slow, stays simple, but has multiple layers, and becomes quite the aesthetic trip of negative space and color. The end is sobering, but otherwise I was glued to the art direction and life in the ideas.
