How Shakespeare?

[milo]

I saw Running Man remake recently. Some of Stephen King's later short stories are better, as far as I'm concerned. I like the details around his books and movies. I have often went to sleep naming off all the movies of his I've seen. I read American Gods. I was interested in one sentence that if read out of context states: Shadow is an Indian. Something like that.

I read most Stephen King when I was young - I thought he was the greatest writer in history when I was 12.  His prose stylings were enjoyable, narrative, character development and ideation.  As I got older a lot of it seems over written, bloated and sensationalistic.  The Dark Tower series will always have a soft spot in my heart.  i tried to get my daughters into them when they were in school which is when they informed me that he cannot write female characters and that every time he tries they are shallow archetypes subservient to men  (I know this isn't 100% true as I remember a few stories it definitely wasn't.

One of the newer ones I read - 1912 or something about a farmer killing his wife and becoming consumed by it as misfortune piled up around him - I think is one of his best though.

When I was in school, I knew a girl in art class, and I had her make the figures from Morpheus' Castle for me. The Sandman tv series made John Constantine into Jenna Coleman. Don't think that I haven't noticed that she looks like an older version of Emilia Jones. Jenna Coleman, not the girl from art class. I wonder if they casted her based on sharing initials.

Also, in relation to your poem that has just been bumped, I find Morpheus a suitable replacement for Apollo in my pantheon.
Besides, when it comes to Apollo, I wouldn't know him from Adam.

yah, in my poem, Apollo was the name of a lion - named as such because his mantle resembled the sun

My old lady's a real number. She's the only Geometress I know who consistently uses a nutcracker for a divider.

My old lady's a real card. If she's not a queen of spades, she most really be into chocolate milk.

I read that as "queer of Spades" the first time through and had to really think about it.  Too bad, that would have been interesting.
