EW: It was fun


Stephen King's 7 year commitment to his EW column The Pop Of King has come to an end. He's been an energetic, insightful writer for EW -- and it's been a lot of fun. King brought things to an end by giving a nod to Microwave Dave & the Nuke's, a Huntsville blues band.
.
Kyle Buchanan at nymag.com has a neat article titled, "What We Learned About Stephen King During His Seven-Year Entertainment Weekly Stint."
.
Buchanan's insights include the fact that King isn't always the most contemporary reader and that he would be an interesting person to sit next to in the theater. Also, he notes that King is not afraid to love "junky" movies. That's great! And I totally agree. I really like this line, "He uses many turns of phrase that would feel just as convincing if they came from a 13-year-old Corey Feldman."
