the last short story to make me creep out like that
Was Stephen King writing about a surgeon who got washed up on an island and started surgically removing and eating his own limbs. *shudder*

I've had dreams about some of the stories in the Illustrated Man
pretty freaky stuff in some places.

Which Stephen King books is that in?

I've got all the short story ones, but stopped reading the latest one because one of the stories gave me a really fucking weird dream

It was called Skeleton Key I think
It had an awesome story in it called The Mist which has just been made into a film. I haven't seen the film but I've been told it's good

hmmm
I definitely have the book with the Mist in it. I'll check it out

The Mist is good. That one gave me a weird dream too. Dreamed there was a thick mist that had carnivorous monkeys in it, and to stop them eating you you had to speak french at them.

and for some reason there was a tree made of pork in the garden.

The Mist is excellent
possibly the most depressing ending of a film I've ever seen though.

I just read King's book Cell
about mobile phones turning people into zombies. That was a pretty depressing ending, although overall very good. And with its heart stopping moments which is King's talent.

the most depressing end to a film I've ever seen
is The Full Monty.

Feel-good? I was utterly depressed by it.

I have done enough to be able to piss about once again.
No doubt the internet is overjoyed with this news...


PS I like 'nefarious mountebank' very, very much.

I'm not going to lie
the internet has barely noticed your absence, aside from the lack of pictures to punctuate innuendo and lies

it seemed to suit you

So I'm not the constant, low-level annoyance I feared I was?
Is that good, or bad? What's worse, being a cock or being irrelevant?

Ironic
...seeing as I was the one abusing the French for their Vichy shame only last night.

the story is good
the film, not so.

Thomas Jane is good as always though.
