Really can't wait to write Streamin King columns in the next couple months on The Long Walk/The Running Man. 4K ordered/tickets secured. And then just kind of report carding this whole year of King stuff, that'll also be fun.

Stephen King should have to type out Internet Technician.
The new trailer for THE RUNNING MAN is up. My IT guy will post it. I don't "get" posting on Bluesky. That's okay. I've seen the movie, and it's a balls-to-the-wall thrill ride. The feel is like a modern-day DIE HARD.

Yup, @joe-hill.bsky.social's KING SORROW is such a kickass pageturner. The man's work remains increasingly spectacular and was already strong when he debuted 20 years ago. Also: King Steve fans are going to lose their shit in big ways 🤐
