Jessica Huang from Fresh off the Boat TV series, said this in response to Honey quoting the movie. I totally feel the same way.

    Just my opinion, but Stephen King will never be remembered as a genius in this timeline. I really can’t even believe I have to say that.

    I get that you like his books. But com’on. He’s a popular pulp fiction writer. King is a good writer. He isn’t a genius.

    Kubrick however, may well be remembered as a genius.

      Depends on how you define genius. If you expect high intellectual definitions, no. If you’re talking a specific uncanny ability, yes. The dude has a way of getting to you.

      The fact you reduced him to a ‘pulp writer’ is rather a tell, to which i say ‘let them fuckin’ trees fall’
