Steven King - what's the most controversial scene from his books? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1365931  Canada05/12/2011 08:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For me it was the pre-teen gang bang in IT. Just seemed gross and unnecessary to me. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1380835I'd like to third or fourth this.. but only because I can't remember the scene mentioned up-thread in Gerald's Game |

This chant of Holier than thou is wrong and is taught by others making you think what is cool or acceptable to them. The thought of "believe as i do" is strongly in an unbelievers life, because they feel they will be ridiculed by their friends. Every falsehood a unbeliver weilds, is merely a reflection of the obstacles that unbeliever must face from his very own peers. Unbelievers are the true followers, they are dedicated to fear of what other people think of them. And because of this, they are ashamed of themselves, but wall themselves up to feel comfortable and safe, assuring themselves with rationality and laughter. Which is insanity! oxxxxx§:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+:+> |

Dark Tower was awesome, perhaps ending wasn't what people wanted but he does warn you not to finish it...Very concerned that they will ruin this one too when it goes to film..hopefuly not. And i do not remember that scene in It  , but i read that waay too many years ago to remember. watched the show last.yay im out of exile!!! for the moment any way |

I thought that one was kind of gross, though it was funny when she asked Roland what if the demon "swings both ways". Never read IT, so I am glad I missed out on that one. The Stand Gunslinger series (and some of the books tied to it, like Bachmann). The rest are pretty much shit. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1360794 United States05/13/2011 12:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | King may be a decent storyteller but, in my opinion, he effectively writes comics for grown-ups. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 365611Maybe. I always thought his strong suit was character development, though. The storyline could be crap, but with believable characters, you can get involved in the story. The Stand had great characters and I was most interested in what would happen to Jake in Dark Tower series. |

Giant space turtles ftw... not. yeah the giant space turtle was kinda a bit of a stretch I think you guys might have missed what he was doing here. He was bringing up the notion of a cosmic evil that lovecraft came up with in the Chutulu mythos. A Giant Space Turtle is like call the Chutuhlu a giant space squid, which kinda misses its nature. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1381337  Australia05/13/2011 12:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's STEPHEN KING. And I thought the ending of the movie, The Mist (directed by Frank Darabont) was really shocking. The father shoots his 10 year old son and 2 friends in the car because he thinks that they are doomed when they were not. |

| Vermithrax User ID: 1204892 Canada05/13/2011 12:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People, these are works of fiction - they are not true! Just someone with an imagination trying to make a scene seem real. Get over it! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1087724THat's a pretty weak argument. This is a discussion in the academic sense. Art can be liberating, insightful, disturbing, and many many other things. That's the reason they have degrees in literature at universities. A real argument would state why it was necessary in the story, or at least how it was significant or not. Saying it's simply made up doesn't do anything but show how uneducated, or close-minded you can be. |
