Is this a reference to the turtle? Doesn't the turtle guide the boat to the storm drain in the book?

It's a frog named kek not a turtle

>>81215141
No, the turtle and It are rivals, one good the other evil, and the turtle tries to fuck with It and It keeps running away, so the turtle decides to step back and help the kids take him on. The book is less about evil clowns and more about two vague god-like entities, a turtle and a spider, fighting each other in a million-years-old war.

>>81215487
I remember the turtle saying he got georgie killed since he needed bill to be motivated in killing IT.

>>81214809
>spider
>>81215487
>spider

It's a drider.

>>81215509

It is a really, really weird novel with some of the most inconsistent writing I've ever seen in a Lovecraftesque horror book.

The way I remember it is the turtle god is a good guy who created the entire universe, but It was an evil spirit living there beforehand and was initially subservient to the turtle, then became rebellious, then the turtle chased him away because he was a few fuckatons more powerful than It, so It has been fleeing from him and fucking him with then fleeing again repeatedly.

When It came to Earth he started feeding off of fear and mortals to gain strength, hoping one day to be able to usurp the turtle. Knowing It would just run away again if he confronted him, assuming he could even find the slippery fuck, the turtle baited It with George in order to get the kids motivated to fight It, then gave them the strength indirectly to do so, thinking It would be too proud to run away from mortal kids, and he was absolutely right.

The turtle explained it more or less as a sacrifice of one for the good of all, because through his death It didn't run away and instead got put away, then later killed.

>>81214809
Pills and cocaine. One of them. That man never stops writing in whatever state hes in

WHEN DO ALL THE KIDS FUCK?

I wonder if they're going to have some Dark Tower shit in it to build up the Stephen King cinematic universe.

The Losers Club is essentially a ka-tet.

>>81214809

It has a lot of evil clown shenannagins though.

>>81215532
Shut the fuck up tabletop faggot, it's literally known as "the Spider", kill yourself

>>81215532
It's not a spider and it's not a gay fantasy non-spider. The spider form is automatically given by the kids minds because they can't comprehend its real form and so their minds chose a spider as a placeholder form.

>>81214809
Is Stephen King /ourguy/?

>>81217802
Wrong, it's a drider but was shown as a spider because the children didn't know what a drider was

Reading The Stand at the moment and I have noticed that King frequently uses the word Nigger. I'm currently on chapter 35 and every time King mentions black people he uses the word, with the exception of the scene where black soldiers clad in loincloths execute white soldiers live on tv (chapter 27, I think).

I understand that King has racist characters in his books, and that he uses nigger when he is writing from their perspectives, but I find him using it in his "narrator's voice" in The Stand. He throws the word in every time he refers to black background characters and it's becoming jarring.

>>81215599

It's been years since i read IT.

Wasn't the turtle dead during the last part? Or was it just IT's ego who made it think that?

>>81214809
He was smoking literally everything. Dude was on drugs for the better part oft his carrer.

>>81214809
I wonder if this version will include the graphic sex scene of a bunch of eleven year olds having an orgy

>>81218133

The only part i remember where the narrator calls anyone a nigger is in the prison part.

>>81217351
I read Bev as Xev and got excited

>>81218203

Oh yead, forgot the part where Trashcan mans dad buys a gun from "A nigger in a bar".

>>81218133
It's pretty accurate tho, in a post-apocalyptic world there would be no political correctness and any surviving black people would get called niggers constantly

Also Stephen King's white guilt is probably due to him being a closeted racist, lots of SJW are secretly extremely prejudiced

Am i the only one who hates the fact that King stole A'tuin from discworld and nobody realises this/gives a shit?
King is a fucking hack. I never read a King book that didn't have a shit ending, and him trying to connect all his stories to try make him look a decent writer is cringeworthy.

>>81218133
so...yes?

>>81218181
uh, wut?

>>81218133

Who cares?

>>81218275
I'm not joking anon, there's literally a scene in the original book where an eleven year old girl gets (consensually) gang banged by a bunch of eleven year old boys, Stephen King is a sick fuck tbqh

Where are you guys getting this turtle stuff from?

>>81218275
Seriously, this happened. I remember that angered me actually that he would fuck up a decent quality novel like that. It derailed the whole fucking thing imho.

I'm imagining him coked out of his mind trying to stem the mania with downers and booze cooking this shit up and I don't even

>>81215532

Driders are part humanoid

It isn't

That part in the original movie where the clown turns into a huge spider was the stupidest fucking thing I have ever seen. I watched it as a little kid and it completely destroyed the horror that had built up to that point. I don't care if that's what is like in the book, they should completely scrap that shit.

Also fuck Stephen King.

>>81218327
Shock value. If you want the reader to hate somebody and to feel bad about somebody else add a rapescene.
What an amazing writer, up there with george rr martin

>>81217502

God you people don't remember shit about this book.

The sweat lodge showed the coming of It to Earth. Mike and Richie were the ones who saw It.

The Turtle is largely inconsequential. He's the embodiment of the White/ka. He's nor at war with It. They just coexist and hate each other

>>81218368
This

>>81218368
Protip: King inserts unnecessary yet disturbing sexual subplots into a lot of his stories, it's pretty jarring if you're only familiar with the movie/tv adaptions of his works

Steven King said he was a massive cocaine addict in the 80's. Apparently he doesn't even remember directing Maximum Overdrive.

That's... because he didn't direct it. He got director credits, but that wa smostly a publicity thing. He was, in practice, second chair director and didn't do much at all. It was (still is) something Hollywood likes to pull sometimes to get people in the theatre seats.

The gangbang is suggested by Bev as some B.S. metaphor for the loss of childhood innocence and was 100% consensual.

Agreed

The miniseries is really weird because they act as adults like the gangbang actually happened.

>>81219284
The later. He's good for what he is and he doesn't pretend to be some classy fuck. People have too much expectations of him because of his popularity and the number of things he's written. He's just a really good pulp writer. Close to being real literature, but not quite.

>>81219223
He for sure did. There's a while HDTGM episode about the film and also Blake Harris did an article about the film where king was continued to be credited as director. So either I can believe every single person involved with making and researching the film, or some guy online who is pretty sure Hollywood lies about that sometimes.

>>81219324
The miniseries is pretty popular. People love to talk about Tim Curry as It. Idk about this new one though, 4chan and targeted ads on Facebook are the only things over seen about it.
>>81219271
Maybe he didn't choke so much as over exert himself, like dying during childbirth? maybe it just lost its power and it was just saying that as a quick way to get across to the losers club that their sides' force was no longer around?

Stephen King has even described his writing as being "The Big-Mac of literature."

If /tv/ was writing the script it would've been 2 hours of underage train in the sewers without any mention of It, just lots pf feet shots.

>>81219419
He "died" because of what happened in the Gunslinger universe (the world changed).

Even back then King had some ideas about his DT series that went into his other works. He also wrote The Shining as a contrast to the death of Jake in The Gunslinger. Or the other way around, I forget. It's been some time since I read On Writing. Good book, btw.

Because they BELIEVED it would.

IT feeds on the fear of people through a psychic link. This link also makes IT vulnerable to people when they show courage.

It wasn't the slingshot that hurt IT, it was the kid's courage.

I don't think IT can die. I haven't read the DT seires in full (there's another IT making an appearance in it), so I may be wrong. All I know is that IT (or one of his children that ben didn't squish) is still around in Derry after the novel. We glimpse it (IT?) in Insomia and in The Tommyknockers.

Aside gangbang in It did King include any other pedo crap in his books?

Because people are acting like so and I do not recall it.

Doesn't King decribe each one of the dudes dongs?

>>81219685
They are skipping it.

>>81219738

>>81219735
No, and it's not preado if you write and identify with the kid characters like in your own childhood. If I write about my teenage self getting it on with a girl I liked back then, does that make me a preado?

He wasn't 50.

I like how people that read the book look at the gangbang as some deep symbolic gesture about the kids entering the threshold of adulthood or some shit when in reality Stephen King just railed another 5 lines of coke and hadn't slept in a week when he wrote that.

King often has a lot of weird sexual things in his writing. Sometimes he'll write about young girls feeling pangs of arousal for the first time, sometimes he writes about a guy shoving the barrel of a gun up another guys ass.

>>81219888
Just like me!

>>81214809
What this movie only shows me is that people are now going to buy the IT book, and that is a consequence of King writing shit for the past decade so he needed this movie more than fans.

>>81219962
Most of these things wer written in the late 70s/early80s. It was a weird time in literature. Writers were able to get away with more stuff than in the decades before and sometimes went overboard. It's nothing compared to the edgy writers who made it big in the 90s though. It wasn't just underaged sex and slightly sadistic scenes but full on corpse fucking with intestines hanging out (Poppy Z. Brite being the worst offender of the lot). Fuck, even the Dirty Harry books (yep, they made books) had intestines falling out after Harry shot a guy in the stomach. At least Harry didnt fuck them.

>>81216860
Me too

IT as a monster is kind of dumb.
It's a being humans can't comprehend and its born before time existed.

But its not after power or anything.
Its only a threat to Derry.
More specifically the kids in Derry.
And it doesn't really need to kill kids either, it just wants their fear. But since kids thinks monsters kills kids it does.
But most of the time it let ITs victims run away.

It crashed on earth millions of years ago but its only in 1984 it starts laying eggs.
If the eggs are there to get stronger in Derry or to take over the world, we don't know.

But IT really has no interest in power, only in marinating the meat and sleeping for 27 years at a time.

>>81220175
Why doesn't It ever leave the town?

>>81220088
I do recall picking up a few books like that when I was running out of Stephen king to read. Though for the most part, and this may just be nostalgia goggles here, I thought King incorporated it well in his books. It wasn't often for a sexual thrill, it was to show the state of mind if a character, or to show an unwanted physical reaction to someone or something. It never seemed too far out of place, and the gun in the ass was from an extended cut of the stand. Then again I was a horny teenager and a sexually warped adult, so maybe they messed with me or maybe I always saw it as normal.

King tends to come up with good maybe even great setups for his stories. He tends to also run them into the ground pushing against what makes sense which CAN BE scary because you are losing a grounding on reality. It can also be really dumb. Basically all of his books go off in tangents.

>>81220269
In The Stand there is a part that describes the hobo pyromaniac getting fucked in the ass with the barrel of a Colt Peacemaker.

>>81219723
There is an offspring of IT in the final Dark Tower book.

However, it disguises itself as a kindly old man who lives in a cabin in the woods.
It keeps people imprisoned in its basement and feeds on their laughter by telling bad jokes, which it's victims cant help but laugh at.

That's what I was referring to. Though it apparently only appears in the extended cut. In high school way back in 19 dickity whatever, I was talking to a friend who just finished reading the original print. I brought up that scene and he thought I was being a weirdo and making stuff up. It wasn't until years later that one day he goes, "oh, man! So I'm reading the extended cut of The Stand, and there is that gunbutt scene. I though you were just being weird, but that's absolutely in there."

It claimed the turtle was dead, because it had withdrawn to its shell and remained there. Bill also sees it appearing lifeless on his way through the astral dimension to confront It.

This could be a ruse to embolden It into thinking the Losers were merely acting alone and could be easilly defeated. If It knew the Turtle was still alive then it wouldn't have gone all-or-nothing to face them.

Can't remember if the Turtle ever comes back or if the Losers really do beat it alone, its been years since I read the book.

I like King a lot, but most of his stuff is taken from earlier authors and old horror comics from the 50s. The original thing that is all King is the Maine setting and people.

>>81219085

As opposed to the 20 year old /tv/ poster who drinks pineapple vodka mixed with soda
Stephen King has done some drinking in his day

But I was just taking a piss. I have to respect Stephen King for exploring all the ideas that came to mind. Some were great, some where not so great, but I read all of them anyways.

Worst ending is probably Dream catcher or Night flyer.

>>81222497
I take that back, dream catcher was a library book for me now that I think about it. The most prominent thing I remember is him saying that the mp5 took 5.56 and being disappointed in him. I know he anti-fun but do a little research for the sake of professionalism.

I'm not sure, It's been ages since I read them.

I read the book years ago, I don't remember a fucking turtle. I only remember the deaths and little dialogue that stuck with me afterwards. Oh and It's many forms and ways of killing people.

>>81214809
>>81222563
to be correct pretty sure they where 12 not that change it
in the 70 80 he was on all kinda drugs hanging out with hippies he even say he literally dont remember writing Cujo...... at the same time he start writing some pedo shit... knowing hippies at this time you just know he was fucking some prime pussy at that time some of the famous groupies where 15-16y old when they fucked famous people also its not something unheard at the time for a hippie slut to pimp her daughter in orgies and shit

my point you dont randomly start to write shit like that you have seen and experience some shit prior

>>81214809
>>81215487
Wrong. The turtle is just there, he doesn't do anything like that. There is no war, IT just hates the turtle. The turtle puked up the universe, don't blame him. The children are guided by something beyond the turtle. The Other.

>>81222802
I'm always surprised how many people forget about the giant space turtle.

Probably because the gangbang scene happens around the same point of the novel so that's the part that stands out.

>>81222768
I think they mention the turtle dying in the Wastelands when Roland is talking about the beams.

>>81219685

Wait what?

>>81222883

Ah yeah. I need to re-read those books again, I loved the setting of Mid-World. Anachronistic Post-apocalypse is a genre that sadly doesn't get much love.

It should've just been a demon or something. What the fuck was King thinking about good vs evil in the form of a turtle and pair of lights.

Nothing, he stole the story from somewhere and used drugs as a cover for why it and all his other early works don't have any semblance of relation in writing styles between each other.
The only thing he made for each story was introducing some paranormal savant child into each work and having retarded versions of Junji Ito endings.

His books are only worth having good directors adapt them and take out all the stupid bullshit he added to make an actual good story. The frog-faced fuck is a hack and whoever he stole stories from is dead which is why all his works suddenly became shit even though it took him a while to use "I'm off drugs" as an excuse. The egotistical fuck hated Kubrick's The Shining and went on to make his own crappy fucking series about it that was Langoliers-tier retarded.

Actually, 90% of the movies you think are originals are based on a little known novel and/or short story.
Example:

Die Hard=Nothing Lasts Forever (great little book btw and the movie was a great adaptation that changed what needed to be changed and left the rest mostly intact)

2nd Die Hard was also based on a book (by another author).

Jackie Brown. Mrs Doubtfire. Pitch Perfect (not the shit sequel though. That was pure Hollywood). Jaws. Shrek. John Carpenter's Vampires.

Well, Vampire has 2 characters with the same name as in the great novel... that counts, right? Movie was good (James Woods rocks and is insane), but nothing compare to the original story.

Yeah they generally are. Golden Retrievers, something dark happens, have some black humour, things turn out okay.

I remember reading the Odd novels when they were first coming out, after the third one I couldn't stand the damn gary stu. Recently I found out there is like 6 in total now, with a possible movie.

>>81223800

I didn't mind that book, though I do think it was a bit long for what it was, would have been better if it was like a third of it was flashback and the rest was actually continuing the story of Roland and the Ka-Tet.

Has anyone ever interviewed Stephen King about It and asked about why the fuck he wrote the gangbang scene? I mean not just thought about it and maybe wrote some rough scenes and eventually decide it was too weird. But actually wrote it, submitted it to his editor, put it into the final print version, and said, "Yes, this is what I want to include in my story about children growing up to face an evil entity and the power of memory. I want all the pre-teen boys to gangbang the same girl even though most kids their age would have barely-functioning sexual organs, and this would most certainly end any normal group friendship in the real world because it's fucking weird."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_ritual

Freud also noted that in 'numerous examples of marriage ceremonies there can be no doubt that people other than the bridegroom, for example his assistants and companions (our traditional "groomsmen"), granted full sexual access to the bride'.[7] To his followers, 'the wedding as orgy, with the bride taking on all the men present, is the clear historical reality behind the modern jokes...and the climactic line-up or "gang"-kissing of the bride, by all the men present'.[8]

In such a view, 'other examples of sacred or permitted public coitus of all women with all men do survive, in similarly modified "kissing" form', as under the mistletoe 'to revive the dying sun at the winter solstice, when the strongest human "life-magic", namely ritual intercourse, is to be deployed'.

ooky spoopky clownz is what millennials respond to, though. any deeper than that and their heads start to hurt. As soon as they realize it isn't just some spoopclown psycho guy, they'll leave the theater, go home and watch Paranormal Activity, which is more their speed.

How did Pennywise transport Stan's body from Atlanta to Derry? Seems awfully nice of him to go through all the trouble of burying Stan in his home town.
