Spoilers. Let's discuss THAT scene in IT. You know. THAT one

I've always just thought that scene, and a lot of other stuff he wrote as well, was a result of him being so messed up on drugs and alcohol at the time. He might have been clean by then, I really don't know. He said in his book "on writing" that he basically can't remember writing cujo because he was so messed up, so I'll blame it on that. It is totally weird and I hope it isn't in this new movie either.

There's a few things he wouldn't write today.



He did have it pulled off the shelves and refused to have any further printings.

Personally, I've always thought DiCaprio's dream sequence in "Basketball Diaries" was much more to blame.
If anything can be blamed for a couple of losers' twisted minds.

Do you not understand metaphorical growth and transition from childhood?

It's supposed to be gross/shocking. Quit being babies. I doubt that scene makes its way into the movie

I've read a few places that it "connected" the group in a way other things couldn't

That's the stated purpose, but it doesn't make sense. With all that the group had been through, I don't buy that they all needed to have sex with Bev to find their way out of the sewers. It's still one of my favorite books, but that scene definitely cheapens it.

Also, coming of age/transition to adulthood my arse. They were 11.

I am in the middle of this scene right now, and it's absolutely disgusting.


Prior to this I believed King is a damn pedophile based on a few other unnecessary sexual descriptions of 11 year olds in this book. Now I am convinced he absolutely is. The dude is disgusting. Not only does he write into his story that 11 year olds have a gang bang, he actually describes it.


frick King. He's a pure blood pederast


ETA: frick this. I couldn't do it. I just skipped it completely. Anyone who thinks this scene is good or necessary is a pedo as well. That's like saying watching child porn is necessary to understand sex and growing up.

I've never read the book. That's fricked up. Why the frick would 11 year olds gang bang a girl?

It's not the only sex scene he's written involving not just minors, but young minors.

I don't think he's a pedophile, I just think he is always trying to be edgy. And he thinks he's way more clever than he actually is.

A lot of his books have some "wtf" elements that should have probably been cut. None as bad as It but you can tell he becomes enamored with his own writing and refuses to edit it.

King is one of my favorite authors but he's not without his faults.
