“What about Superior Spider-Man, or the Nick Spencer run, or Bendis USM” all of those are orders of magnitude less readable than the random prestige Batman mini they shit out every year.

One of the details that burned into my brain from that exposé was some of the DC writers of the time mentioning he would bring women who were not his wife to the office and have them sit in his lap and I was screaming “and this NEVER came out?!”

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

honestly it makes it all the funnier that he rants at her about the huge responsibility he personally has taken on as caretaker, and makes sense why the obvious solution -- she takes danny down the mountain in the snowcat and he stays -- won't work for him

absolutely zero evidence that jack has actually ever published or even written anything. he tells the hotel manager he's a writer and the guy doesn't even bother asking "oh, anything i might've read?" i guess bc it's pretty clear he hasn't

the details of the story around jack injuring danny shift w/each retelling. was it danny's papers that were all over the floor or jack's? did jack stop drinking immediately afterwards or only years later? lots of discourse on how the internal layout of the hotel is inconsistent but not on this!

It’s really the ultimate metaphor for having an abusive drunk for a parent (which is also explicitly in the text but you know what I mean). To you he’s terrifying because you’re at his mercy but in the context of the wider world he’s just some fucking guy who has to answer to his boss.

it's even worse, the jack character is a standin for king's abusive alcoholic father. the book is king trying to grapple w/the idea that his father wanted to be good but was overtaken by something evil, kubrick read it and was like "wow this guy's a real piece of shit" bsky.app/profile/donb...

You can tell just how much they're treading on eggshells with him on the drive up, Kubrick was not particularly subtle with Jack's hair trigger temper. The scene where Jack tells Wendy what he "saw" in 237 is its mirror, Jack doing everything he can to pretend to be human bsky.app/profile/jfru...

Doctor Sleep — the book and director's cut of the movie — reckons heavily with this aspect of Jack, what it means to have someone like that as a father, and how it feels to become that person in turn. Alcoholic and abuser both. Feels like one of King's books most informed by lived experience.
