King may benefit from not seeing the merger happening, but we cannot say for sure that this is his sole motivation.
I tend to agree with someone that posted earlier saying that he doesnt need the money anymore.
He said it many times before, and I reckon it's true : he would probably continue writing even if it wasnt published.
I would argue that S&S probably needs him more than he needs them.
Doesnt mean that he testified for his own interest or for other authors interests. Could be either of them. Or could be both. I certainly have my opinion

There’s dicksucking and there’s calling repeatedly calling King a coward, a rat fink, an imbecile, a racist and other things I’m probably forgetting.
There aren’t rules or anything but if King’s existence fills you with that much bile it’s worth asking why you’re on a board about his work.
I don’t think anyone here puts King on a pedestal; I’ve been one of his harshest critics in regards to how he shit the bed with the last Dark Tower book… but if it gets to the point when you have nothing but hatred for the man…

Darn, that's tempting, one of the (only?) movies I liked better than the book!
BTW -- Richard Bachman made an appearance on Jeopardy Monday! His name, anyway.

I haven't watched The Simpsons since they stopped releasing them on DVD.
The few times I've seen parts of the show switching channels recently I hardly recognized it.
I guess this makes me old-fashioned or out of the loop or whatever. Comcast has been available here for about a year now, I suppose one day I should 'Hook up and catch up'!

It wasn't meant to be a comedy. It's a "Treehouse of Horror Production" of one of the greatest horror stories of the 20th century.
A scene was written for a Stephen King cameo (for the Simpsons episode) but he turned it down.

I always liked the Treehouse of Horror shows, with or without King.
I need to re-watch my Simpsons DVDs!

They did another 'It' parody in the comics which IMO was funnier.

The first volume was really good.
Author of The Road to the Dark Tower, Stephen King: A Complete Exploration of His Work, Life, and Influences and The Dark Tower Companion. Co-editor with Stephen King of the anthology Flight or Fright.
After Svengoolie ran 'X' (AKA The Man With the X-Ray Eyes), which they managed to squeeze in between the same dumb-ass commercials they run every time, he mentioned after the movie there is a rumor that Stephen King may have added an extra line of dialog right after Ray Milland's character gouges his eyes out. Another rumor says the line was considered at the time for the movie and then dropped.
King's idea was AFTER the movie was made, I must clarify, he had nothing to do with the production, according to the rumor!

What happened was King wrote the following in Danse Macabre.
Then Roger Corman responded years later saying it wasn’t true but it would have made the film better.But I have heard rumors—they may or may not be true—that the final line of dialogue was cut from the film as too horrifying. If true, it was the only possible capper for what has already happened. According to the rumor, Milland screams: I can still see!
