    To me, Stephen King writing the sewer scene isn’t half as weird as the fact that his editors and publishers had to read through the book and go ”yeah, let’s keep that in”.

    • @SeaBeast4Life

      I like to think none of his editors actually read it, it's a really long book and pretty much everything King wrote was gold so just publish it, it'll be fine.

      King's editors didn't really have much control over him especially in the 90s cause he was like, the world's most popular author ever. Like in terms of books sold he's one of the most prolific authors in human history. And he was already getting movie and TV deals and was basically a writing god. It's kinda like how people weren't able to tell George Lucas "no" after the original trilogy so the second trilogy was way worse. Except Stephen King is actually a really good author so it doesn't manifest as poorly. Dude just can't write an ending to save his life. It's almost beautiful how terrible his endings are considering how phenomenal his world building, characterization, and horror setting is.

I actually rarely watch it or read their articles but I think it's nice you have that. I'd love it if you cover movies that SR doesn't have articles about because I love your Pitch Meetings. It might be a good idea for SR to create content about stuff that's not making headlines now. They do lists and rankings, so they might consider using your awesome series to reach an audience that's not all about what's hot right at this moment.
    If you come up with another idea, like fake news or simply change the last part of the format, I'm sure I'll love it. I love your sense of humor and your recently confessed compulsion to make sure you don't make mistakes. So, I (and I'm sure it's not just me) trust you to come up with something awesome.

    It's so weird, I read the book as a kid back in the early 80's and remember that the whole "kids orgy" thing didn't really phase me at the time. I guess so much weird stuff had happened already in the book that it was just one more weird thing. But then I completely erased it from my memory and decades later when it was brought up I was like "Oh man, that's just...messed up." Definitely a combination of drugs and King's background living through the free-love 60's.

      I read it in about 1990, and the kids orgy didn't bother me either. It was certainly a weird page-and-half, but we were already well into the typical disjointed fever dream of a Stephen King story climax (giggity). I imagine him writing that at 3:00 AM, at the peak of a serious cocaine bender, and believing it was the most touching, beautiful scene he'd ever written.

At the end, I was skipping whole pages of description just to get to plot points so I could tell how it ends. Hit the sex part, and said, "Wha....??" Wasn't offended, just put it down as a pointless exploration of "bonding"? Thought it was really dumb, had nothing to do with the story except SK's neourosis. Was that book 1000 pages?

    The worst thing about the orgy scene is it happens near the end of the book. Despite what people who haven’t read the book might think the story isn’t split into two halves like the movies and the miniseries. The two time periods run parallel to each other and constantly switched back and forth between 1958 and 1985. So both confrontations with it happens back to back and the orgy happens right after they defeat him in 1958. So it really sits with the reader once you finish it.

For the whole book her sexuality is being oppressed by her father but this is finally the moment where she takes control and offer herself to the others. So it’s kind of an empowering moment for her - although I found Kings need to describe the size of each of the boys very distracting.
      I’ve noticed King has a tendency to really describe what’s going on in the male characters pants, also in many og his other books.

      While I cannot say your acting was bad, it is amazing how much better you portray these characters in your newer stuff. It reminds me of any start trek series the first few episodes you find yourself thinking wow, these people can't act and about 4 or 5 episodes in they play the characters well.

    You could always use actual newspaper articles and lean into the antiquity of it by changing the colour grade of the episode to suit the era the film was made (in addition to any costume changes). It would be extra work...but between internet archives and libraries it could be possible? But making a fake website or newspaper sound acceptablw, I'd love to see you cover all manner of classic movies that predate the internet era!

      Agreed. I think it would be good if he used non-screenrant but real articles.
      Plus, he already did a pitch meeting for the original Dumbo, and he made that black and white, so he has experience (and of course, experience in replacing that computer in the back with a typewriter).

    It would be so interesting to see what you do with classic movies. Don't let that part of the formula hold you back. Especially because I would assume there are less obvious plot holes etc. in them, but who knows? Or they take you down a completely different route in terms of gags. It'd be fascinating.

      IMHO the funniest pitch meetings are the ones about movies I saw and then realising funny or stupid stuff I missed. I somehow dont see the appeal in a pitch meeting about a movie that was made around the time when my grandma was born and the funniest thing in the world was a cake to the face. I don't get why people even ask for that.

    I think you should definitely do the films that were shot before the Screen Rant came to be. After all we’re not just watching these pitches for the last punch line; the whole video is a blast!
    and your idea about the fake newspaper as a replacement sounds very cool. I am already excited about all the new pitch meetings that would be unlocked 😅

    Pitch Meeting - Classics. As a "Classic" it sets it apart from post screen rant movies. this gives you the ability to change the format to fit the era before screen rant. You can keep everything you do normally or even in the period correct fashion for the time of the film. instead of a screen rant article, you could: use an actual article from time; bloopers/outtakes/behind the scenes stuff from the movie; some interesting true facts about the movie/actors/making of/ etc.; funny edited clips from the movie; there's a lot that can be done here without the restraints of being a SC article. Love your content and look forward to future episodes!

  • @mac24seven

  • @tgguitarguy

    There's one mistake that every movie satire channel misses in Spider-Man 2. Pitch Meeting, Cinemasins, and probably Honest Trailers all make a joke about why Peter doesn't explain what happened to Harry's father when Harry confronts him about it. And the reason is because at that point in time, Harry didn't know his father was The Green Goblin, and Norman said "Don't Tell Harry" right before he died. And so that's why Peter doesn't explain what happened and instead just says "There's bigger things happening here than you and me." It's not until after that scene that Harry finds the lair. So many people don't pick up on that.

    If you made your own end gag for older movies, it should be something that fits each period, like a newspaper for oldest movies, maybe a news broadcast that looks like it was filled in 1985, or whatever fits well with the movie/joke you're going for. I know me and a lot of people are happy to watch any Pitch Meeting you put out, hence why we are on this video, and we will support you in any decisions you want to try out. Thank you for making content that makes us laugh and smile and providing us with your own unique comedy.

    Given the existence of the cosmic turtle in the book, I love the idea of IT being one of the teenage mutant ninja turtles even more. Also, I still remember the popularity of TMNT in the 80’s/90’s and articles about how children were finding their way into the sewers so they could look for the TMNT (and then probably getting lost). So IT being a TMNT is very believable.
