Dear Stephen King,
Nov. 18th, 2005 10:04 amLook, The Colorado Kid is a really nifty little book (although overpriced by about $3.50), and I don't regret any of the forty minutes or so I spent reading it.
That said:
If you're going to set a story in 1980, please, for the love of The Overlook, don't have characters in Denver step out to go to Starbuck's (which was still in Washington only at the time) or refer to renting movies at Blockbuster (which didn't even exist back then).
Otherwise, a damned fine novella.

Dear Columbia:
Nov. 18th, 2005 01:00 pmMonster House looks cute enough, in that vageuly creepy Polar Express hyperrealisitic animation sort of way.
But if it doesn't have an appearance by Steve Watson, you're a bunch of no-good rip-off artists.

Friday TV thoughts
Nov. 18th, 2005 02:07 pmFour quick thoughts before I head out for the day:
1. Damned fine Reunion last night. For the second week in a row, I was genuinely caught by surprise by a twist (not so much the "who" but the "how").
2. Not as good an Everybody Hates Chris, but still watchable.
3. I also finally caught (thanks to Tivo and Adult Swim reruns) the season opener of Family Guy, which was fucking great, especially the Naked Gun opener.
4. I've only just started really watching CSI reruns (I don't have any huge interest in following the show, but it's a good show to watch to kill time, and Tivo Suggestions fills my Tivo box up with them). Which is why it only just sunk in that the lovely Jorja Fox was Guy Pearce's wife in Memento. I knew I'd seen her before.
