Guys and gals, I ask you, WTF?

1. Huh.

Imagine that.

[Ninjaneer]

2. Oh noz! them immoral atheists and their darn adulterous wayz!!!11

:eyes:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

3. Well, the evangelical seems to be the murderous psycho character.

So, I'll reserve judgment.

But Hollywood has a sad history of considering murder more forgivable than adultery.

[darkstar3]

4. It's not so much that the atheist is portrayed as the adulterer while the evangelical is a murderer,

it's shit like this in the description that gives away some pretty bigoted attitudes on the part of the writers:

"Without faith in an afterlife, will he be able to make a decision?"

[cleanhippie]

5. So just what the fuck is a "non-believing atheist"?

Or are they trying to say the lead character is an oxyMORON?

[Iggo]

11. Maybe he works for The Department of Redundancy Dept.

6. Is that supposed to be based on a Stephen King story?

I forget the title, but, basically, it involved a mob boss forcing a tennis player sleeping with his wife to go around a small ledge on a high rise or be killed. There was no god-stuff involved, and played out more as a suspense story. It would actually make for a very good movie.

[lazarus]

7. I remember that story

very good one. I think it was from the Night Shift collection.

No god stuff at all.

[PVnRT]

8. Yes, it was Night Shift

I loved the ending (spoiler, highlight): the tennis player forcing the mobster to do the same thing, and waiting for him to return with a loaded gun in his hand.

[lazarus]

9. I had forgotten the ending, but remember it now

very nice one.

I like King's early stuff, when editors still had power over him. Except when he went the gross out route.

Although, I really liked the unedited version of The Stand. I know it was a woo book, but the characters were so well put on the page, I can't help appreciating it.

10. Is it a "I'm going to kill you or her?"

Because absent that, it's a no-brainer. I'm living. Even if it is me or her, I'm going with me. Just sayin.
