She comes off like a 12 year old to me I’m not sure why but I couldn’t even watch this like you said it kinda reminded me of trying to explain something to someone who has no idea what’s going on nor do they care. Have you ever been in the middle of explaining something or in the middle of a conversation when you realize “oh this person doesn’t understand or care” ? I’ve had that happen to me multiple times I have a family friend who’s like that he will talk for hours and as soon as you chime in he just sits there completely silent pretty much not paying attention to you he won’t acknowledge what you’re saying at all. Whenever he does that too me now I just stfu in the middle of whatever I’m saying and walk away then he usually comes chasing after me because he wasn’t done talking he just didn’t want to hear you talk.
I actually have a friend like that who just keeps talking talking and talking and when you try to say something he talks over you. Doesn't listen at all. He might as well just have a conversation with himself. When he calls me on the phone, i just put the phone down for 20 minutes and come back and he his still going. I say "YEAH i agree" and hang up LOL
@@inkwellflood8276 you can have a serious conversation while drinking, laugh and dance afterwards? Also it was just an analogy to how annoying this woman is to TRY and have a serious convo with. She just "ehahaha's" at everything, interrupts or has a non-serious self-humorous comment.
YEP! It gets draining trying to carry a conversation when you've done it a million times. After a while, one just goes, "Fuck it, lets stop wasting the mental energy and just let out what ever the fuck I want onto this lazy listener..."
dude i literally had that same thought, like put any real book reader/Stephen king fan in front of him in this and it would be a cool conversation but Eleanor clearly is only a fan of the movies and doesn't do much reading. Her mom likes stephen king that's about as far as she goes I think from this.
No one but King has got the ability to do this. The movies they have made of his work is always so underwhelming!! As soon as a new book is out I read it.
How can you hate reading? Having a conversation with this woman would be about as deep as a puddle. Also, Stephen King is an epic genius. I'd love to see him on JRE!
I hate reading books, I ve read countless articles, scientific papers , blogs etc but when it comes to fiction paperback books with small font....it just hurts my eyes/head
@@djphlange I can't recommend audiobooks enough. I used to read a lot of fiction, but stopped about a decade ago, mostly because of time. But a couple of years ago I gave audiobooks a try and it's amazing. Reading used to tire my eyes, but that's obviously not a problem with abooks. Also, I now read (listen) mostly during otherwise wasted time, like driving, cooking, cleaning, even during #2. You'd be surprised how much listening you can get out of these dead periods in the day. I get an hour a day easily. Often 2 hours.
@@ASJC27 agreed. i've loved audiobooks since I was a kid. The first one I fell in love with was The Body from Different Seasons. It was made into the movie Stand By Me, ot's read by the master, Frank Muller, who reads many of King's stories.
I love the story about Stanley Kubrick phoning King at 2 in the morning asking him if he believes in God and King says "yes" and kubrick says "I knew it" and hangs up.
When i was 15 my family moved to Maine from the suburbs of NJ a 45 min train ride to NYC it was 79 an exciting time for the city. It was a depressing feeling to be moving to a farm as a teenager. City slicker, flatlander or greenhorn, were common labels, i was definitely out of my element, but it didn't take long to understand how cool it was to live in a rural setting. Cars, bikes, snowmobiles, boats, lakes, ocean, forest, great parties and Good People who know the value of a hard days work and how to live in Harmony with Nature. What's not to like? As a teenager even the harsh winters were fun. As someone who has lived many places Maine is one of the better places to grow up.
I’m from Maine. Still here, born and raised 38 years lol it’s def different life here. We’re lucky to have a lot of access to nature and simplicity’s that people vacation to experience. I will say, our woods and oceans carry an energy that’s magical at times.
Stephen King actually wrote about this in his introduction to The Stand (uncut version). He uses the word "limiting". As in, once you've seen the movie (take The Shining, for example), you'll read the book and be unable to picture anything but Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance. In King's words: "it's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is limiting." Solid point there, I think.
@@JDean3780 About Game of Thrones right? He'd probably be saying the opposite if he wrote the joke after the show's lazy pos ending. I can see why he wouldn't want to read those though they're like 4,000 pages per book and there are 5 books finished, 2 more planned that are never going to be finished.
Joe covered a lot of the good reasons books tend to be better than movies, but he missed a **really** important one: When reading, we actually insert ourselves into each character. We're accessing parts of our brain, often in ways we otherwise couldn't, by empathizing with and considering the thoughts and actions of each of these characters. Even though the words are there to guide us, we are the ones creating these characters.
You should read the Dark Tower series in that case... his whole life’s work of books revolves around it and he ends up being central to the story including certain major events in his life.
The Dark Tower series is one of the best ever written imo. It spans his struggle with addiction to him finally beating his demons. You can literally see the change in his writing style. Legend.
Thankee Sai! Honestly to this day Wizard and Glass is just fucking epic. Nothing will touch the stand or Swan song for me, but fuck wizard and glass is my #3 in books read.
She was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a cork board like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew.” I saw the trailer for Stargirl and I thought they did a great job capturing what star girl felt like when you read it, especially because I was familiar with girl they casted for the role, and her uniqueness and weird charm fit perfectly with the character. Until someone commented the quote above. That’s when I realized, anyone watching the movie without reading the book will definitely not have the same experience. The way an intelligent author is able to make a reader feel with words is something technology cannot always grasp.
My great uncle tutored Stephen King at Uni…he said he was a terrible student and bottom of the class. Shows that you should trust your talent and ignore negative noise
One of his greatest stories in my mind was 1408, and it was a short story! In fact that entire book Everything’s Eventual was fantastic I def recommend it for any King fans 🙌🏼
I was sooo scared of Alice Cooper (from The Black Widow tour) until he came into the store I worked at wearing a fanny pack and no makeup. I think all of our imaginations fill in more than we realize when it comes to Stephen King.
Hearts in atlantis is a great read. Very good movie too, probably second behind Shawshank redemption for Stephen King movies, yet the movie still doesn't get close to the book
The Rocky Horror picture show is classic though if you ever get the chance to go see it at Halloween and throw toast sing along etc. or dress up you should.
Cujo, in great part, was told from the perspective of the dog. That is virtually impossible to commit to film without coming across like an r-rated Homeward Bound.
The reason Stephen King books are scarier when you read them than when you watch them in the movie is because he has a way of writing where he uses your own imagination against you. When you watch the movie you're just seeing some other jackasses imagination
Its his only book I havent read... but I probably know everything he says in it. Sadly his politics today make him unbearable but his writing is still great. Lisey's story was great.
When you see a movie of any book, you are seeing the directors and actors interpretation of the story. When you read the book, your own imagination interprets the tale. It's so much better.
The remakes are very, very good. They are shocking close to the book. Even little side stories that happen in the book (start of the second movie) made it in. Its awesome.
Steven King was the master of *naming* his characters. Try doing it: invent a person in your mind, and name that person. It’s really hard to create a believable complete name that doesn’t feel like the author randomly chose them from a phone book (remember those?)
I remember watching the 90s ‘IT’ as a child on a VHS, literally couldent shower and walk past drains for the rest of my childhood lmao, defo one of the scariest movies ive ever seen as a kid. Shame it dosent really hold up today
@@jdailey01230 Horror movies in general don't hold up. Some new ones are better but none are scary. The Exorcist is still the best horror movie ever made.
@@funtimes8296 Exorcist was way ahead of its time. A few come to mind that still hold up imo: Alien, Silence of the Lambs, The Shining, The Thing, Halloween.
@@xanbra that is bullshit also. So do you just say things knowing that they lies? Have you looked at what he's posting about because it's definitely not a "cesspool" like you claim.
@@nicolemegyeri5267 that's why I don't follow him. I couldn't care less about rich people and their politics and fake problems, but he is a brilliant writer.
@@nicolemegyeri5267 clearly you don’t follow him on Twitter if you think he’s not batshit crazy, and a raving lunatic. If you do follow him and don’t think that, maybe it’s time to look in the mirror.
Steve has said several time that he had a good healthy childhood, despite his Dad stepping out of the picture when he was young. But in an interview with his mother she said how Steve witnessed his best friend get hit by a train as a child. The moment was so traumatic for him he black it out, walked home and couldn't remember what happened. His mother pieced it together later on when they found the boys body.
Stephen king’s imagination is awesome. He wrote a few books that are almost foreshadowing of real events. The dead zone, 11/22/63, insomnia. The stand could be an even deadlier version of what’s happening occurring now.The political upheaval that’s going on is something right out of a Stephen king book. Really dark, but really fascinating. The man is genius.
Joe Rogan: "The TV IT is not that scary..." Me watching it as a 9 year old kid with my 9 year old friends SECRETLY toghether in the 90s late at night: BRUH
Watching a movie shows you what something looks and sounds like. The descriptive language an author uses tells you how he or she feels about what they're describing. That's *easily* just as important as what's being described, and it's something visuals don't generally capture. A scene narrated by five different perspectives maybe sound very different each time.
Actually movies can capture thoughts there’s ways to do it remember the show the wonder years where the narrator would explain what the kid was thinking.
Desperation and The Regulators always fascinated me as a kid. Desperation written under Stephen King and Regulators under Richard Bachman. I loved how he had the same characters and evil entity in both books but completely different stories. Does anyone know of other authors doing similar stuff with 2 different books?
I read It when I was around 18 yrs old and it completely blew me away. Such a fantastic story about friendship! I became a giant SK fan after that and what I adore most about him is his consistency as a great writer. His later books are still on another level, like Duma Key or Under The Dome. What an inspiration he is!
As a huge fan of King's work, "On Writing" is, by far, one of my favorite books by him. It literally changed how I look at both fiction and reality. I particularly loved the audio book, and I mostly hate audio books.
I was originally scared of IT when I was a kid. Watching it in my adulthood, the movie's not scary...but Pennywise definitely freaks me out to this day.
Spencer Miller you are absolutely correct. I remember reading two or three of his books referencing characters and situations within those three before I read the dark tower series. Then it all fell into place. Absolutely the best story ever put on paper.
Joe has literally said “I hate when people say you gotta read the game of thrones series. Why would I read it when I can watch it?!” He’s always contradicting himself
