    Your Movie and Concert Hall Hell



    My story about seeing Pink Floyd at Rice Stadium made the cut!
  • DanishFanDanishFan
    Is the magazine title still "My Worst Entertainment Experience"?



    Great column.
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    I haven't seen the print edition.
  • willowlovewillowlove
    "Fast Blurb Nation", about, well, blurbing movies and books, appears in the March 21 issue. It isn't online yet.
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    The Art of the Blurb -- finally online
  • willowlovewillowlove
    SK on regulating videogames: Videogame Lunacy (hint:  he's against it)
  • willowlovewillowlove
    Apparently not discouraged by the reaction to his Best Rock and Roll Songs column, SK has now written "The Real Top 20", compiling the list of his 20 favorite songs in an objective way: they're listed by order of number of iPod plays. (or is it iTunes?)



    This column is not yet online.

    Here it is
  • willowlovewillowlove
    In "Playing Against Hype", new in the 6/6/08 issue, SK discusses the new novel by Andre Dubus III, The Garden of Last Days, and the difference between buzz and hype.



    Naturally, it's not online yet.
  • willowlovewillowlove
    Good news:  "Playing Against Hype" has finally arrived online, and here it is.



    New news:  A short article--about a 1/4 page, not a column--appears in the new EW, their 1000th issue.  It's a part of a series written by various celebrities called "My Favorite Year".  SK's is 1999--or, more precisely, 7/1999-7/2000.  You'll have to go to page 108 of the 6/27-7/4 issue to read it though; I couldn't find it at the site.



    Old news:  The novels of Meg Gardiner, highly recommended by SK in a column in February 2007, have finally begun to arrive in stores.  Just thought you'd like to know.
  • willowlovewillowlove
    Lou_Sytsma has already linked to the new column in a different thread, but I'd like to point out for magazine readers (presuming I'm not the only one) that SK's articles are no longer on the back page.  EW's gone through a redesign, so the columns are now much closer to the front--in this case, on page 22.

    Issue #1004 of 8/1/08.



    Consider the Junior Mint, where the Bard of Horror takes a gastronomical tour of the movie theater concessions stand!



    Haven't seen it online yet.

    Here it is: Stephen King's Guide to Movie Snacks
  • Lou_SytsmaLou_Sytsma
    Not a big fan of movie stand concessions myself. A bag of Nibs is my movie theater snack of choice.
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    How TV ruined baseball
  • willowlovewillowlove
    In the 9/12 issue:  not a column but a book review.



    Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games



    Also two letters are printed in reaction to the baseball column; they're (predictably) split.
  • willowlovewillowlove
    In the 9/19 issue, the column is about "manfiction"--i.e., the opposite of chicklit.



    What a Guy Wants
  • willowlovewillowlove
    From the 10/3 issue:  a letter about the most recent column, and for the first time in a long time, if ever, SK responds to it.



    From page 2:



    Lee Child and Michael Connelly are among my favorite authors, while current chick lit makes me gag (The Pop of King).  What's appealing about "manfiction" characters is their confidence, humor, and sense of morality.  I'd rather read about them than the hunk on the tropical isle Stephen King described.

    Nancy Urbanis, Tunkhannock, PA



    Columnist Stephen King responds:  No sexism intended.  Ladies have every right to enjoy the exploits of Jack Reacher and Harry Bosch...just as I have every right to enjoy Nora Roberts.  Genre fiction is NOT unisex.
  • willowlovewillowlove
    In the 10/10 issue:  a column praising "Prison Break".



    Gimme a "Break"



    Note: the print edition has an illustration the online version apparently doesn't.
  • willowlovewillowlove
    For my 100th post :), the link to the new column, this time on the presidental race and its coverage.



    The HD Candidates



    It's also in the 10/31 issue.


  • BevVincentBevVincent
    Much appreciated -- and congratulations on hitting your first century.
  • willowlovewillowlove
    In the 11/21 issue, SK gives thanks--and no thanks--for things in pop culture.



    new column
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    Wishing and Hoping



    The author shares his desires for this year, from a rock and roll rebirth, to a better season of ''24''
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    Haven't found it online yet:



    Torture and '24'

    Issue #1035 2/20/09



    Jack Bauer isn't the first TV hero to go medieval on the bad guys, so why does he get all the flak?
  • willowlovewillowlove
    Now it's online: Torture and "24"



    (no hurry.)
