Abysmal Talisman sequel?

Black House was awesome, and I am boycotting Pajiba Love because you think otherwise.

You didn't like Black House? I thought it was pretty good.

De-friending people is wrong? I thought we lived in a disposable society. Why would I want to read about some former lover's/high school acquaintance's/co-worker's breakfast when that information is less valuable than the wrapper my cheeseburger came in. That may sound harsh but when people you wouldn't even talk to for more than 5 minutes face to face keep posting which celebrity/athlete/sandwich they are most like, I have a God given right to smote their stupid ass comments from reaching my brainwaves, no matter how bored I am at work.

Thankfully you can't delete posters, or I doubt many of you would have to read my comments. Ha Ha!

You misused the word "ambivalent". It does not mean that you don't care. It means that you feel strong, conflicting emotions towards something. Your headline implies considerable emotional investment in one Katie Holmes. I sense that that is not the case.

People, this is why you do the Pajiba only FB thing. Tell no one else. Thank me later.

You misused the word "ambivalent".

You're totally right, Jeff. Noted and corrected!

And sorry guys, maybe "abysmal" is a bit strong of a word but I was unimpressed by Black House. Maybe my expectations were just too high though, considering that The Talisman is one of my all time favorite reads.

Is the Shining sequel going to feature some kind of car accident? The guy's been writing about that since it happened.

Also, I think we've been over this, but Twilight-stalking is not sexy in real life. It's more terrifying than true love.

Unless, of course, the person stalking you just happens to be your significant other whom you love very much and know will not kill you. Then it's sexy.

Yeah, I've unfriended/defriended people. But never to "get back" at them or anything as petty as that. I've done it with high school people I hooked up with, saw that they were completely boring/annoying and the hide function wasn't around yet.

I've done it with work people because, despite the fact that I TELL PEOPLE AT WORK THAT I WON'T FACEBOOK FRIEND YOU, they still send me their gotdamned requests. Nowadays I know to just ignore it. But at first, I felt guilty and accepted it. Then checked to see if they had a lot of friends. If they did, I quietly went away. One person noticed and asked me about it, and she was hurt. GAH. I had to smooth down her feelings, explain I didn't even realize I had done it (LIE) and re-friend her.

WHAT a bunch of mess. Too much work and too much drama, seriously. So now I'm really super picky about it. And I, too, like to be compartmentalized, so I use those customized friend groups like crazy.

I straight up told my boss, when she got on FB, that we spend entirely too much time together as it is, and please don't send me a request. She hasn't. I like to keep work and fun separate. Work is not fun for me.

OHMYGOD DID I JUST READ SOMETHING ABOUT A CUPCAKE MILKSHAKE?

I routinely defriend people. Not because I'm childish or have a problem with them, but I have an incredibly small social circle and only like to have people whom I actually talk to and socialise with physically, know my personal business.
Plus, I hate this mentality of having like, 500 'friends' when in reality you've probably met MAYBE fifty of them, and those fifty are all at your current school and your relationship with most of them is fleeting, as in, in fact of the fifty you've met personally you've actually spent serious time in the contact of maybe five of them.
I think defriending someone is the same as being 10 and having your first fight with a friend and saying 'you're not my friend any more' then for three days ignoring them then after three days playing together like nothing ever happened.IN FACT, it's EXACTLY the same as that.
And the Shining sequel sounds sort of lame. It would have been better if Danny had mostly forgotten what happened with his dad, as well as his powers, and aged forty, decides to go back to the Overlook to face his demons regarding that winter. When he gets this, his powers, and the hotel, reactivate for lack of a better term and he finds himself being haunted by the same demons as his dad, only this time it's personal

The social-networking phenomenon (facebook, myspace, etc.) has rendered the word "friend" completely meaningless. When all it takes is a mouse-click to make or break a friendship, then it does not really pay to work toward building meaningful relationships with other people. A friend is supposed to be someone you can share a comfortable silence with...just wallow in each other's presence. Someone who will lay himself/herself down for me like a bridge over troubled water, when "friends" just can't be found. I would rather have 5 friends like those, than 500 two-dimensional, virtual images floating around on the web...images of people who don't care about me, and who I can't care about.

I loved Black House. Not as much as The Talisman, of course, but c'mon.

Although I am of the opinion that it was really more a part of the Dark Tower series than a sequel to TT.

Put me down for Black House love as well. It wasn't THAT bad.

The Shining wasn't long enough already? I tripped over my copy years ago and sprained my ankle when I misjudged the landing.

And a sequel to the film? Let's not forget which adaptation of The Shining King was pleased as punch with. Here's a hint: not Kubrick's gorgeous, brooding, molasses-paced nightmare factory with a score straight from the heavens and performances you will have a strong feeling about, for better or worse.

I wonder if the same people who always come up with shitballs retarded Olympics logos are the same people who always come up with shitballs retarded Olympics mascots. I mean, why punish TWO groups of 7-year-olds?

Also, I defriended a girl after I broke up with her. It seemed like the right thing to do.

She didn't seem too phased, but then again, she took the break up in stride, too. And I've never been very good at the whole 'lesbians stay best friends with their exes' thing.

Black House is dreadful...a pale shadow of The Talisman..it's like they're two separate books in my mind.. Jack grows up to be of all cliched things a hollywood homicide detective, and he's unlikeable to boot. THat's just the beginning of the suck..and the novel really is a DT sidequest so to speak.

as for the Shinning (ya wanna get sued?) sequel, it has potential. Although as much as I agree w/ King about Kubrick's film, King's mini-series was no better.

For me, Katie Holmes just went from 'meh' to 'cunt'. I hate theatre talkers.

I can't wait to see the next Dexter, too. That was one twist I didn't see coming. Also, I've just noticed that Quinn is hot. I must have been too busy drooling over MCH in his Khaki Henley of Serial Slayage to notice.

I wasn't aware defriending was a Thing now. It's happened to me, but nicely. The person was just cutting down their list because their interests had changed. I had no problem with it.
But I noticed that Adam Baldwin tweeted the other day, asking what was the etiquette for un-following - should you tell the person, or just leave? He's only just started tweeting. I have a suspicion that some people started following him, noted his rightwing agenda, and let him know they weren't impressed. I'm not, either, but I see no need to tell him why I stopped following him. Not so much good (or bad?) etiquette, more, 'why bother?'

Wow, very diverse interests. I'm glad you're able to judge things on individual merits and find something to love in a number of genres. I love open-minded men!
