You know what's funnier and even more awesome than Stephen King's beautiful diss? Reading through pages and pages of screaming, enraged Twilight crazies' responses to it. Holy God, but it's beautiful. The best part is that most of the rage isn't coming from tweeny girls with bad spelling (who are OBVIOUSLY Meyer's intended audience), but from fucking GROWN women who are so oblivious to the fact that the book isn't only horrible but NOT MEANT FOR THEM.
I think Jesus needs to take a time out from stopping the zombie apocalypse and tell Overalls Boy to step away from the puppet.

1.) Stephen King knows he's being interviewed by USA Today, and he's not going to waste any choice swearwords on Ms. Meyer. She's just not worth it.
2.) Figgy, I love the opening paragraph of the Twilight Mom's rebuttal to Stephen King. Because it's not like anyone would have several of his books, or see the film adaptations of said books. It's not like The Stand was a novel that updated biblical lore into the then modern age, and provided a work of literature that is both all encompassing and personal. And most certainly is Mr. King not to be looked up to, I mean he was only a teacher who almost didn't end up publishing his first book because he didn't believe in it. We should be idolizing the Mormon Mom who transcribed her wet dreams onto paper in 3 to 6 months, shopped it around and got it published, and then wrote four MORE wet dreams into novelized form with a publisher who's name isn't "Harlequin". Oh what fools we mortals be.
If you'll all excuse me, I'm going to step outside for a minute and clean my shoes. The bullshit I stepped into with that link was pretty deep.

I dunno, I've heard once you've reached the holy matrimony the brakes are off. Everything else is off limits, after all. Don't know if oral sex is still frowned on at that point though.
She is pretty, but there's a million fine girls out there, as another Jay said.
This one woman earlier was so pretty and so nice I didn't even care that she was married. She really wanted to know about the web site, and how to get the most out of her library account and avoid problems! This is rare!

Seriously? I was Mormon for a few years (High school. Cute boy. Don't you judge me!) and I don't recall this ever being mentioned at Sunday School or Family Night. Ok, so I never actually *had* Family Night since I was the only person in my house who was Mormon, but the point remains. I didn't know about the no blowjobs thing.
Oddly, Cute Mormon Boy didn't volunteer that tadbit of info during my conversion...
Stephen King has more money than God, a stack of honest-to-god writer's awards, a happy family life and the opportunity to spout off about whatever he wants twice a month in Entertainment Weekly. What the hell does Stephanie Meyer have that he doesn't, other than tits?

Cute Mormon Boy apparently had a rebellious streak, Lainey. In 1982, there was an Official Declaration of the First Presidency of the Church, which included the following statement:
"The First Presidency has interpreted oral sex as constituting an unnatural, impure, or unholy practice."
That Official Declaration has yet to be formally contradicted by the Mormon Church. But seriously, does this actually surprise you? Mormons believe that only procreational sex within marriage is acceptable, and everything else will send you straight to hell.
um, I can't quite agree, Sarina. I worked with a Mormon and he assured me that he and his wife were on every single kind of BC out there and made no bones about it. She finally ended up getting her tubes tied.

I am sure he tried to say something, but he always got interrupted.
In his pants.
"The First Presidency has interpreted oral sex as constituting an unnatural, impure, or unholy practice."
Well, shit. I never got head either, but you don't see me trying to harsh other folks' buzz.
Oh, I have no doubt that there are many Mormons who engage in any number of sexual acts and don't think they're sinning or that they'll go to hell. That doesn't change the fact that, officially, the Mormon Church has not changed their stance.
Lots of religions are like that, though. Little do they know that God is totally rolling His Almighty Eyes at them. He would deride their ridiculously obsessive Puritanical tendencies vocally, but His mouth is... otherwise occupied.

My goodness, PissBoy, that was beautiful. I hope your lady chooses to work together with you so that you can reach a place of healing.
But on a less caring note...
I had just gotten over my beef with Hilary Duff and then she tries to pick a fight with Faye Dunaway? She needs to back the fuck up. First of all, it's deplorable that she's been cast as Bonnie, but to respond to Dunaway's comment like that is just ridiculous. It's not like people haven't stated publicly before that she can't act, which is true, but she's an adult now and she should have bit her tongue. Dunaway's got the experience and the talent under her belt that she deserves a little more respect, Especially from Little Miss Veneers. Also, Dunaway looks great for a woman in her 60s. Shut the fuck up, Duff.
Jay, I know you're be facetious, but for arguments sake what on earth could she possibly be jealous of?
Wait, doesn't Duff have a bangin' hot Hockey boyfriend? Because if that's the case... Dunaway better propose a winner take all Chomp Off.
Posted by: Kayanne at February 4, 2009 5:01 PM
I have a Mormon coworker, and he definitely doesn't mind oral sex. At least, that's what I'm assuming, since he got busted by the Minneapolis cops getting head from a male friend, in his car. I still don't know why he told me that story. At work, no less.
He's not really a good Mormon.
Posted by: Snath at February 4, 2009 5:39 PM
Well... it used to be part of bishop interviews - are your relations with your spouse appropriate? Depending on the bishop it could stay in the general and non-specific range or the man could get quite graphic. I hear now they don't ask quite so much and are backing away from the no-oral sex thing. I had one person tell me it was because sex was ONLY for making more Mormon babies so anything that headed for the wrong orifice would get you kicked out of the Celestial kingdom for sure. For the record, masturbation was another definite sin. Boys used to be asked by the bishop if they were "abusing" themselves (if you know an ex-Mormon male over 30 ask him if he's heard about his "little factory").

I couldn't post my comment at his blog so I'll post it here:
"There is nothing for her to understand, Trouble. Pissboy was an unfeeling asshole to her, cheated on her, and treated her like shit.
She should never go back to him. He simply does not deserve her.
I sincerely hope this does not work out for you, Pissboy. You're a pathetic little shit that utterly destroyed (what sounds like) an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime woman. There is no excuse for that, and the only just punishment is irrevocably losing her.
And by-the-by, it wasn't "the other half of the cheating equation managed to contact Marie via email" it was a likely completely innocent woman who had no idea you were in a relationship and was appalled when she found out. Thank god she contacted Marie, I know for fucking sure I would want to find out so I could dump your sorry ass."

The honest answer, Kayanne, is that our airport has a rotating signal light. On some nights, when it rotates south, there was this strange flash like it was reflecting off of something. I did some research, found out that Hilary Duff was in Texas and that the phenomenon is known as the Aurora Incisoris.

Posted by: returnofthesmith at February 4, 2009 9:03 PM
Alex, Hilary Duff has several movie projects lined up over the next year. She is releasing a new CD this year that will give her alot more creative freedom now that she has severed ties with Hollywood Records the company that she helped build but who under promoted her so that they could put all their eggs in the Miley basket.
On top of that she is headlining a new NBC comedy called "Barely Legal" which is based on the true story of California's youngest ever lawyer. Which is a concept just gimmicy enough to be a rating hit.
Posted by: returnofthesmith at February 4, 2009 9:14 PM

Also her publicist?
But dude, seriously: Faye Dunaway versus Hilary Duff; only one of them clearly has the experience necessary to critique acting ability. While she's very cute, she's not exactly strong enough to pull off the role of Bonnie from Bonnie and Clyde. It's actually quite a mockery to the story.
Posted by: Kayanne at February 4, 2009 9:19 PM
Fair enough returnofthesmith, the point here is, while what Faye said may have been innappropriate, you don't talk shit when your most well known projects to date are Lizzie McGuire and Cinderella Story.
Further, as the star of the original critically acclaimed movie, as the original Bonnie and as an actress of some renown, she has earned the right to talk shit. If Hilary actually makes this movie good (by my standards) I'll be the first one to give Faye the motorboating she's got coming.
Posted by: admin at February 4, 2009 9:20 PM
Yep shes kinda got her work cut out for her now. You can't cut Faye Dunaway down like that and then suck at playing Bonnie. I know she has it in her and am looking forward to the finished product.

Because none of her "projects" lined up sound any damn good, also when did she become some underrated pop music success? More creative freedom? You've gotta be kidding me with that line. And as far as her TV career, we'll just have to see how long the one millionth legal dramady can last with her fantastic acting range and abilities that we've seen of her on the Disney channel.

I think it's very easy to attack someone because they started their career a certain way. Hilary is an easy target for many of you, because she focused on projects that many of you would not have bothered watching, and music that many of you would have made a point to ignore, lest your "alternative" friends look down upon you.
Those people who have seen her varied performances, (including last years "War Inc" where she showed a lot of depth), and have listened to all her albums, (including her last "Dignity" which was pure unadulterated pop at its best), know that she is a talented woman with a lot of potential.
Posted by: returnofthesmith at February 4, 2009 11:28 PM
God bless you, Stephen King, for speaking the gospel truth.

Posted by: Jessica at February 4, 2009 11:43 PM
Dude, I saw War Inc. and wanted to claw my eyes out. Sticking a scorpion in your panties isn't depth, it's hazing.
As for your bogus point as to where she comes from affecting my opinion of her, I couldn't care less that she got started on Disney Channel. Listen, I wouldn't care if she got started in porn, if she's talented, she's talented, but she's just not a very good actress. She seemed like an ok chick and I appreciated that she wasn't wackadoo like La Lohan and such, but she needs to step off Dunaway and show a little respect.
And if Dignity is the album that she put her rip off of Depeche Mode on, well, then it's not pop at it's best.
Posted by: Kayanne at February 4, 2009 11:47 PM
No, "Reach out" was on the "Best of" album that Hollywood records forced upon her. And it wasn't a rip off by the way, it was a sample.
The songs on "Dignity" do not sample any other songs, and it is a really solid pop album, which she wrote herself.
Posted by: returnofthesmith at February 4, 2009 11:54 PM
Her singing voice is still obnoxious. There are much better pop female vocalists. Try Sara Bareilles for something contemporary and fun. Lilly Allen is swell, too.
But to call Hilary Duff the definitive pop is... Ehck.
Posted by: Kayanne at February 5, 2009 12:21 AM
She's an easy target because everything she's done has been crap, not because I try and impress my "alternative" friends whilst secretly building a Duff shrine in my closet. Those two are completely unrelated.
Posted by: Alex at February 5, 2009 12:51 AM
This can keep going in circles, i find her past projects entertaining, you do not. I'm sure im not a fan of alot of your favorite filmmakers and musicans (i'm guessing Harmony Korine and Morrisey?). We should just agree to disagree and be done with it. Until she blows you all away with her fantastic performance in Bonnie and Clyde, trying to convice you of her worth is futile

The Jonas Brothers make Hanson's "Mmmmbop" (and trust me, Hanson still sucks unholy levels of ass) sound like the final movements of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". They're the musical equivalent of Twilight, with the added douche levels of Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia. I'd rather listen to Fall Out Boy. I'd rather listen to Hair Metal. I'd rather listen to crying infants. I'd rather listen to Britney Spears. Just, please, for the love of god, not the Jonas Brothers!

Of course it's futile when my entire point is that she's never once been in anything remotely entertaining or successful and yet you've somehow managed to convince yourself she's got this wide array of talents. And your attempt to link me with what I'm guessing you observe as "hipster" material is not working at all...

Dunaway's cheap shot was just unecessary - honey, you are one of Hollywood's reigning queens. You don't need to cut down some second-rate starlet. Duff, however, is an absolute moron. She squandered her chance to look gracious and magnanimous. Proper response: "I can only aspire to be as much of a legend as Ms. Dunaway is. Taking the role that she made immortal will be a challenge, but I hope that I can rise to the occasion." PERIOD. You do not, when your appearance is middling at best by Hollywood standards, engage in a semi-literate ad hominem attack on a Hollwood legend's appearance. When she's in her damn 60s and looks great.

Why take that position here, though? Why walk into a wine tasting group and start rhapsodizing about Arbor Mist? Sure, some people like it and it sells more than anything being poured that evening -- but you sure as hell aren't going to convince even one person that Arbor Mist is a better wine, or even that it belongs in the same conversation. That's not snobbery, per se, that's just simple discernment.

Uh, not really. What you've established is that your critical reasoning abilities are shrouded at best, or possibly non-existent. Hilary Duff has performing talent beyond most folks, no doubt, and she may even be a lovely person, but until she actually demonstrates that talent in an artistically compelling or engaging manner (and not wasting it in the commercially successful equivalent of junk food) you will be fighting a losing battle to convince anyone of how "good" a performer she is.

In defense of returnofthesmith, I also like different things. I like classic movies and classic music and good movies and bad movies etc. But I also like a good dick or fart joke.
Unfortunately Hilary Duff isn't a good dick or fart joke.

returnofthesmith, you seem like you really want to enforce the stereotype that Australia is just Arkansas with beach.
Congratulations, it's working!

"I was not proving that she was good, just that she was successful."
I mentioned that she was successful, because Alex claimed that she was not. Its one thing to say that in your opinion an artist hasn't done anything of artistic merit, i can respect that. But to say that Hilary duff isn't successful is just plain wrong. She has found much success in every medium she has become involved in.
I also totally agree that the majority of pajiba eloquents will find no worth in Hilary based on her resume as it stands. I'm not trying to convert anyone to the church of Duff. I just stated my opinion and got attacked.

George, I didn't know you spoke Gershwin.
(Yeah, I went there. I need SOMETHING to block out the countless times I've heard "You speak Prada?" in those fucking Shopaholic commercials. I think they're trying to infect me with "the fail".)

Are you sure it's not "the gay"?

Wow, Serena, way to kick a guy when he's down. Someone bares their soul for all to see, and your response is to rub salt in the wound? What an absolute sweetheart you must be in real life. And I'm certain you've never hurt anyone, or ever made a mistake, or asked for forgiveness (deserving or not). Lovely.
I'm not defending PB's actions. But at the same time, your response was just cruel.

Sarina, I just spent the better part of 15 minutes imagining what getting head from god must be like. I'm guessing... heavenly. (Ha! I slay me.)
I can't believe I missed all this stuff yesterday....

King's opinion on Stephanie Meyer is one huge pile of hypocrisy. The man can't write either.
Oh, and the transsexual thingy? I can't imagine a better actor to pull that of.

Wait isn't Jesus a zombie? Sure he's a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father who can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree, but still a zombie nonetheless.

FabMax: I know I always harp on this, but I find that people who say Stephen King cannot write simply haven't read him. His short stories are much stronger than his novels (he won the O. Henry Prize once), but his command of the language far exceeds that of Meyer.
That being said, I think he should've kept his mouth shut about a young writer, especially has somebody who has had his own writing dismissed out of hand.

@Samantha:
I tried The Stand and It, and gave up both books after about 100 pages. The man disgresses and rambles so much that his books essentially lead nowhere.
At least he can hold a thought for a few pages. Other much prized author can't even do that. (I'm looking at you, Douglas Adams.)

Ok. I don't care about Twilight either...but why does king have to slam her?
he's not almighty. We're all familiar with his recent books

FabMax: His novels are absolutely flawed - I recommend his short stories/novellas to the uninitiated.
Jesus, Pissboy. That was a painful read. Opening yourself up like that for the cynical assholes on this site to see? That's brave, man. Marie: Take him back! We need a happy ending around here. Can the Philly ladies track this woman down and force her to give Pissboy another chance? For the love of Godtupus.
