Anybody else remember Herve Villachaize as Tattoo? “Da plane, Boss! Da plane!”
That was a stupidly fun show.
Couldn’t air in this age of outraged wokeness … someone would have gotten pissy that a little person wasn’t cast as Mr. Rourke, kind of like Snow White’s DEI seven dwarves (they didn’t look like that) …
Anyhoo.
Stephen King still reigns, even if some of his work has fallen off. Guy gives a great read.
Meet: Charlie Reade. Dunno why his hair turned blonde and his eyes turned blue but hey …
it’s a Fairy Tale.
And how he dispensed with the night soldiers was genius. Love that guy.
Only complaint was how the giants were dealt with / Hana and Red Molly / “OH MY DEAR ONE WHY ARE YOU SO STILL” / felt like a cheat. Never did explain who hit that to make that. Questions, questions.
The Snab was the business, tho’. Lord of the small things. Really.
And here there be tears, when boy and dog reunite. That was cool, too.
But ngl (see: hip) would’ve killed Polley … buried him in the backyard, or left him in the tunnel for the mega-roaches. But that’s just me.
Anyhoo, it ain’t a great book more of a fun story, nice little diversion from the life mundane.
Recommend? Kinda yeh, if you like King. If not, then … how not?
Guy writes so well he scared himself. Pet Sematary, indeed.
