Just wanted to write a final comment on the board (moderators can move this if necessary to whatever thread may exist for the topic). Won't be long with this, as unfortunately I have much to do today, but it won't need many words. Wanted to say thanks to everyone with whom I have interacted...

Forgive this (hopefully) stupid question, but I actually do seriously suffer from OCD and wonder if this is an issue or not... My kitchen is being done over, and I accidentally dropped a cracker in-between the spaces of the exposed boards. As much as I tried, I could not retrieve it. It is now...

Deadline has an analysis of how well the film did at the box office. It ranked at number eleven on the site's yearly top-20 (or maybe 25?) blockbuster chart. https://deadline.com/2020/04/it-chapter-2-movie-profit-stephen-king-1202912121/ Obviously this is an independent look at the movie's...

I assume this may have been covered already, so if a moderator wants to point me to the relevant thread, please do so. If not, let me say I have come across a news item from earlier in April that mentioned King working on a new novel, and how he had to change the time setting because of...

Just a quick question(s) on ordering the new book through the link on the site... I want to do that to support independent booksellers as mentioned. Curious if anyone has done that yet. Do I have to set up an account? (No big deal, necessarily.) What happens after that...the order gets routed...

Anyone here work at a library, either as a librarian or some other status? Couple things I'm wondering. I'm thinking maybe in a year or two of trying to pivot over to that career. But I'm older. So, I just wanted to be realistic about such a move. Realistically, is it a young person's game...

Glad to see the book is coming earlier, but I was curious about why it was moved up. I have no choice but to assume this is CoV-2-related. Would it be to get ahead of any possible nationwide shutdown by Barnes and Noble or other bookstores (although I believe they are closed in some states...

Not sure if there is another thread on this, but I ask for those who may know about this sort of thing: Is this something we should be concerned about? Obviously it is, but I mean, are we looking at a pandemic? Also curious why the previous SARS illness has no vaccine. Is the current pneumonia...

Happened to be searching a King-related topic and came across two very old articles. Don't ever recall reading them, although one of them talked about a topic I sort of knew about via Wikipedia (it probably was a source). Thought others might find these vintage pieces entertaining...

The Institute has sold over 450,000 copies so far according to the latest Publishers Weekly chart. Not sure, but I think that is a recent high for King in terms of sales. Looks like the book is playing well to fans and new readers (at least, that is my speculation). Glad to see this. Maybe...

Just saw a feature on a news program about King making his Bangor home into an archive/etc. Looked up this news article: https://bangordailynews.com/2019/09/23/news/bangor/stephen-and-tabitha-kings-iconic-bangor-home-could-house-his-archive-and-a-writers-retreat/ Not sure if this has already...

Wondering if anyone here subscribes to Shudder. I wanted to know if it is easy to hop on and off the subscription (i.e., can you just let it lapse or must the company be contacted). I plan on subscribing maybe for a few months (to be fair to the over-the-top service) but then stopping. I just...

Regarding the Joe Hill/Stephen King event that is upcoming...for anyone going to that, I just wanted to offer up a couple potential questions you might ask. I love it when King makes an appearance, but sometimes the same stuff seems to come up. Maybe we could have some different...

Read an interview with King at Rolling Stone (I bet someone probably has already linked it on the forum somewhere, but if not, it's easy enough to find by searching King's name in a news search). As always, love to hear from him. Curious about a couple things. Of course, we all are looking...

With It: Chapter Two on the way, I'm wondering - do you think New Line will continue on and make the trademark a cinematic franchise, and maybe branch into a streaming series or two? I'm thinking that AT&T wants to make the most of its Time Warner acquisition, especially given the huge debt it...

https://deadline.com/2019/08/the-stand-stephen-king-writing-continuation-to-the-book-cbs-all-access-limited-series-adaptation-tca-final-episode-1202659325/ Thought the above is pretty exciting. I hope the reporting is accurate in the sense that King will be the sole author of the last episode...

Am I correct in saying that this will be the last Halloween story? If so, curious if the writers will try to tie it in with the closing of the board somehow.

Not sure where this should go (or maybe it has already been covered/linked?), but if a moderator would kindly move to an appropriate forum: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/james-wan-gary-dauberman-tackling-stephen-kings-salems-lot-1204201 You've got to love what's going on here...

Not sure if this has already been discussed, but what did everyone think about the opening weekend box-office gross? The movie resurrected $24.5 million domestic, and I think $42 million worldwide. This was compared to a reported $21 million budget. I have no idea what the marketing spend was...

Several months ago, I was looking up some songs on YouTube, must have been something British -- Gary Glitter, maybe? -- and I received, as we all do, recommendations on the right side of the page. One of them had a group with a unique guitarist. This week, I was thinking about that musician and...
