Shining II?
King: I’m Working On The Shining II
Via: IO9
This may be the sequel no-one has been anticipating, but Stephen King has announced that he’s working on a sequel to The Shining, tentatively titled Doctor Sleep. We would’ve preferred Son of Shining, but we’ll take it nonetheless. [Filmofilia]
Stephen King Writing “The Shining” Sequel
Allan Ford/Filmofilia
Stephen King is writing a sequel to his cult classic “The Shining.”
“The Shining” was released in 1977 and was adapted into a Stanley Kubrick film in 1980, starring Jack Nicholson, Danny Lloyd, and Shelley Duvall.
According to the Torontoist, the 62-year-old novelist was at the Canon Theater in Toronto last week, treating fans to a 15-minute reading from his new book, “Under the Dome.” While there, King casually remarked about an idea that he began working on.
The second novel would center on Danny Torrance, the young boy from the original story with the gift of being able to communicate clairvoyantly with ghosts, and who is now an appropriately aged 40-year-old. All these years after being tormented by the spiritual inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel and his father’s alcoholism/homicidal rage, Danny is now working at a hospice using his supernatural powers for palliative purposes. King even offered a tentative title: “Doctor Sleep“.
King also admitted that he is nervous about penning the sequel to one of his best known works, adding:
“Maybe if I keep talking about it I won’t have to write it.”
“You Like That Baby, You Like That?”: Has Porn Made Men Bad at Sex?
Porn is entertainment, not a how-to manual. If men want to know what really turns women on, hetero porn is the last place they should look.
This story was originally posted on Nerve.com.
Though I didn’t know it at the time, I was fantastically lucky to have had a childhood during which my mother and father never called my penis a “wee wee.” Similarly, vaginas were never demeaned as “hoo-hoos,” or breasts as “boobies.” Sex organs, sex and sexuality were topics of discussion early and intentionally in my house, whether I liked it or not. And looking back, I think that directness served me well. Certainly, it was mortifying on a grand scale to hear from my dad, a bawdy, gregarious guy, that my life began in his testicles. But that humiliation felt worth it when I was the only boy at recess who could effectively call bullshit on the theory that a baby is made when a man pees onto a woman’s crotch.
In the ensuing decades, I’ve remained a voracious pursuer of sexual enlightenment, partially out of curiosity and partially out of my desire to impress a couple of girlfriends who were much more carnally knowledgeable than I. I’m no Lothario by any means, but I’m now smart enough to laugh at the absurdity of lad-mag articles recommending you slather your partner in baby oil in order to be “the best lover she’s ever had.” (Maybe if she’s an unpolished end table, fellas.)

Disclaimer: Riddick doesn’t belong to me, neither does Jack. Granger is a product of my imagination and has appeared once before in the short story, “Granger’s Run.” Any resemblance to anyone living or dead is purely coincidental. In addition, the song “Trouble” is written by Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens).

Fleshbot Reviews the Real Touch, a Video-Synchronized Masturbator
The Real Touch is like a Fleshlight that moves on its own, pre-synced with the porn you’re currently watching on your computer. It’s one step closer to simulating having sex with the girl on the screen, but should you buy?
That answer is unclear. Fleshbot tests it out and says that although it has its downsides—PC-only, lots of setup and cleanup, plus it’s super expensive—the actual sensation (or sensations, for different orifices) is fantastic.
Head over to Fleshbot to see their review. We’ll be covering this as well, from a more technical view to explain how it works, how they get the video synced up and how well it performs as a gadget; albeit a gadget for your penis. [Fleshbot]
Top 20 Unfortunate Lessons Girls Learn From Twilight
From a male point of view, the only redeeming feature of the Twilight books and movies is the ammunition they provide against female claims of innate moral superiority over men.
Whenever a woman criticizes a man’s lust, aggression, shallowness or any other lesser angel of his personality, the quick-witted fellow can point to the millions of women addicted to the base, insipid, bad-boy-worshiping, misogynist syrup so many female viewers of all ages knelt to this past weekend, when The Twilight Saga: New Moon raked in $147 million at the box office, setting several records.
(A side benefit: The Twilight films provide good grist for RiffTrax’s movie-mocking mill — see video embedded above.)
In the spirit of speaking truth to diamond-skinned power, enjoy this list of unfortunate lessons girls learn from Twilight. (The list operates under the principle that any grownup female who embraces Twilight’s junior-high dreck temporarily sacrifices her “woman card.”)

Viggo Mortensen, King of The Road
Anyone not living under a rock has probably seen previews for the big-screen version of Cormac McCarthy’s postapocalyptic novel The Road, which hits theaters November 25. The film stars Viggo Mortensen as a nameless father struggling for survival alongside his boy, played by 13-year-old Australian TV actor Kodi Smit-McPhee. (Mortensen’s real-life son—Henry, 21—is the product of his now-defunct marriage to Exene Cervenka, front woman of seminal LA punk band X.)
