      He's (ironically) healthier now. His accident caused him to stop drugs and drinking. It comes through in his writing. The Tommyknockers, a confused mess, and several other books were written on cocaine after all.

      TV is also getting dumber by design. Note how dumb our general population is now. Dumbing down tv was an intentional move. Look at Disney these days, they used to have 15 year old actors who acted 15, and now they have 15 year old actors that act 10. On top of that, the storylines themselves have become nonsensical. Look at Superhero movies, absolutely no substance whatsoever. The list goes on and on. 330 million people in this country, you can't convince me that we don't have decent writers when they were producing gold 50 damn years ago. If you make TV dumb, eventually.... the population will follow suit.

      @lukeskywalker6809 4 года назад +12

      @Nintariz That's not insane at all. Under the Dome took him 40 years to write. It is a very complex novel and King was working on other books simultaneously like The Running Man, The Gunslinger, Christine, Pet Sematary, The Talisman among others. I think King put It aside because he may have run out of ideas how to go on or finish the story, but that's only speculation on my part. Bottom line is, such complex and long novels as It take a lot of time to write, in this case even years. There's nothing insane about it, especially if you consider how many other works Stephen King published during that period of time.

      I think you are putting the cart before the horse there. What you are saying implies that styles were based off of the decade, when in reality it's the other way around. Fashion trends come and go, we simply discuss them in terms of decades. It's a construct at the end of the day.

      We only notice trends in retrospect... It's not like the bell struck midnight on January 1st 1980 and everyone ditched bell-bottoms and big lapels for pastel blazers and tiny ties... 75-85 is as much a decade as 70-80 etc. and it's strange to try to summarise a ten year period like that instead of the usual way because we aren't used to it. It's funny to think people aren't aware of the zeitgeist and gestalt of their decade until after it's over

    Interesting hearing King speak in a relatively positive way about Kubrick’s version of The Shining. In the years after this interview he went so far as to describe Kubrick as a “man who thinks too much and feels too little.” Wonder if he’s just hiding his dissatisfaction here or if subsequent viewings led him to this conclusion.

Thank you to all these mad scientists for bringing their creations to us and take us away from the real monsters we face daily 🙏🏻

This always stuck in my head but I've never been able to find a source for this and she can't remember where she read it.
