It’s always unnerving when an adult author effectively tells his reader, “Consider these children having sex,” but some books do a better job of justifying it than others (like Edmund White’s gay bildungsroman A Boy’s Own Story). Stephen King’s It, in my estimation, does not do a very good job of justifying a…
It—a Stephen King masterpiece that is all three a miniseries, extremely large book and recently-released film—isn’t just terrifying for those forced to encounter Pennywise crawling out of a storm drain. Turns out the real victims here are actual clowns, who are tired of their good (?) names being dragged through the…
Just last year America was inundated with sightings and arrests of creepy clowns in South Carolina, Kentucky, New York and more states across the country. Now, Alamo Drafthouse seems to be tapping into that market to host a clown-only screening of the upcoming It adaptation.

Stephen King's 56th book came out recently, and the folks at The Guardian asked him about some of the novels that are popular right now. He's not impressed:
It’s no secret that Stephen King, award-winning writer of terrible sex scenes and, much to the continued consternation of Harold Bloom, increasingly an elder statesman of American arts and letters, fucking hated what Stanley Kubrick did to The Shining, which is a really, really good book about how insane it is to be a…
Julianne Moore was probably not the likeliest guest to grace the Javitz Center stage at the seventh annual New York Comic Con, and that’s reflected in the icy welcome the fifty-two-year-old received from the costumed geekerati. But Comic Con and the trailer for her latest film “Carrie,” for which she’s banging the…
Miley Cyrus overshared to Elle UK about not wanting to do any more oversharing. No, sir.
