You ever see the movie Misery?

@ceruleanspark Sebastian and I watched that together last month, it's a WEIRD movie!!!!
-
@ceruleanspark I found the move very hobbling
-
@ceruleanspark Yes, and I've read the book. I still have my first edition version of it, actually. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/824819

@northernnarwhal Thats cool
-
@vcgriffin Yeah, it's a pretty intense novel! I haven't liked everything I've read by Stephen King but Misery is definitely my favourite by him.
-
@northernnarwhal He gets pretty predictable when you read too much of him.
-
@vcgriffin He's just following lovecrafts example
-
@ceruleanspark of being a massive racist?
-
@vcgriffin It tends to happen when you write a lot in the genre that he writes in. I've just found that lots of his books (especially his newer ones) don't do as compelling a job of conveying pacing and atmosphere to me as his standout titles.
-
@vcgriffin Lovecraft was a terrible racist, and that was reflective in his writing, but I still really like Lovecraft if only because his actual storytelling craft and prose were excellent. I think it's possible to enjoy certain aspects of the arts you enjoy while also acknowledging problematic aspects that they may carry.
-
@northernnarwhal to be fair to him, I haven't read any Lovecraft yet. I have has so much cthulhu rammed down my throat I don't think I will for ages, and besides there the wrong type of tentacle
-
@vcgriffin At the Mountains of Madness and The Shadow Over Innsmouth are both really good places to start if you're interested in getting into his work.
-
@northernnarwhal "The Colour out of Space" and "The Dunwich Horror" are probably the ones that impacted me the most.
-
@ceruleanspark You should make a movie like that but call it bananaery because you love kiwi
-
@scribus I love The Colour Out of Space, though I haven't actually read The Dunwich Horror. I'll have to look into it!
-
@thelastgherkin This just became pleasingly incoherent
