An oddly specific question. Hellraiser has a new video game coming out in october and, while based on the movies as opposed to the book, Clive Barker is involved. He's been a part of other games aswell.

Why has Stephen King not tossed his hat into gaming? He's a big name and a lot of his stories lend themselves well to survival horror narratives. The Dark Half had a point and click game and iirc The Dark Tower had a flash game for a bit but why not any major releases? A AAA Dark Tower game ala Red Dead Redemption and The Witcher would be a huge hit.

I know Stephen is up there in age but he's not much older than Clive. He has grandkids and even wrote an article defending GTA during the hot coffee mod controversy. I doubt he's ignorant of games and their artistic merit.

If my home, buisness, or vehicle gets destroyed in a kaiju attack, Godzilla or otherwise, will my claim be approved?

Long story short I'm under a lot of pressure right now and I'm seriously considering checking myself in. What is it like in there? Is it loud? Will I have to take meds?

I just got done reading the book (and saw the movie years ago, aswell as season 3 of Hannibal) and this bugs me.

Lecter recieves a letter from the Tooth Fairy and follows his instructions to send a coded message in a newspaper personals section. The message Lecter sends? Graham's address and the explicit, unambigious order to "kill them all." The only consequence Lecter gets is that his books are taken away, which is fucking madness.

Why was Lecter not charged with a crime? He leaked a goverment agent's address to a wanted criminal with the clear intent to have him and his family murdered! And he only loses some books because of it?

Composite Ghidorah and composite Death Star

One day, Darth Vader senses a large, sinister presence apporching the Death Star. This is turns out to be the sinister kaiju King Ghidorah. Flying through space and encountering the space station, he decides to attack it.

Is Ghidorah able to destroy the Death Star?

Forgot all about this until the teaser for 2099 (which I'm cynical about but I'm willing to give it a chance.) It's been three years and only single trailer. Is it still happening? Did it get retired?

I'll read anything that catches my interest but I can't just jump around. Maybe it's ADHD (not diagnosed but pretty sure) or something but if I jump from one genre to another too quickly, I find myself having difficulty focusing.

Right now I'm reading Love and Other Wounds by Jordan Harper, a collection of crime stories. I know that in the coming months that I'll be reading lots of horror. So after I'm done with Harper I'll read Red Dragon by Thomas Harris, which is both a mystery novel and a horror novel, and then begin my horror reading proper. Once I'm starting to get all tuckered out with horror, I'll probably read a horror/sci-fi novel and then start reading sci-fi. You can mix and match whatever genres you want and that's usually how I operate.

Anyone else?

I'm looking to treat myself and I'm considering getting Arrow's new release of Falling Down. I'm reliant on captions however, and I'm wondering if the supplements have SDH captions.

I got Kiss Me Deadly from Criterion last christmas and loved it but had to miss out on the extras because they had no subtitles, but on the other hand Point Blank had them. I've never bought from Arrow before. Are they just as inconsistent?
