I've watched like 5 of these talks over the past few days. I've heard most of the stories and jokes he tells more than once. But I never skip ahead because he's just such a joy to listen to.
I just got to the part where he tells the bar jokes and the Allstate joke about a crazy person in your car or your house. Didn’t skip Because I just love to hear him speak
15 minutes of introduction. I get it. Probably the best part of the entire video when he says, "I'm sorry about the delay... I was hypnotized by all the introductions". My sentiments, exactly.
@@Radiatoron88 15 minutes? At his level of success, he is no longer bothered by the tedious minutiae most of us mortals have that fills up too much of our time. I am sure he was fine with it. ;-)
In early 90's I was sick at home laying on my bed, already had been two days. TV offered nothing to watch and I've already read all my comics, playing Nintendo didn't interested me either, so I was getting really bored. I asked my older brother to play with me: with cards or battleship or anything, but he hadn't time at the moment. Instead of killing some time with me and keeping me entertained he said: "Why don't you read a book?", and handed me over Stephen King's Four Past Midnight short story collection which is thick as a brick! I was about 12 years old and never read a single book... I thought that would be really boring... and couldn't really understand why the people read books anyways. But my brother said there's really good, compelling and very scary stories. and was like "yeah, right..." But when he went away I opened that book and decided to give it a chance: "So, entertain me, mr. King! Give me your best shot! Bring it on!" The first story was the Langoliers and it totally blew me away, dragged me into this amazing world of imagination. Sooner than I noticed I _was in that world_ mister King was created with his very irresistible story telling ability! I saw everything, heard everything, smelled everything, felt everything he wanted me to... _I really was there!_ That's what it felt like and still does. I read that book -thick as a brick- in two days. And I was so amazed... how in the fuck a book can do that? It was better than watching a movie! Since then I have read all the Finnish editions of his works, over 60 now. And he drove me to read so many other writers too. I am very glad that I had that experience - King experience! - at the beginning of my reader career, because lousy and boring author would've probably driven me totally away from the literature.
He lives in Bangor I think. My dad has driven by his house a few times. Apparently, his house in Bangor is as creepy as his books. He's got a creepy gate with like gargoyles on it or something.
+TheBumpyScrub it is in Bangor, Maine. I used to pass by it almost every day. The gate has bats on it.☺️ He actually donated a bunch of money for buses to get around town called bat buses.

That’s a cool story sir, thanks for sharing! I’m just trying to imagine being at a bookstore and King having only a couple of books published.

King is entertaining as hell to listen to, even taking into account his oft-repeated anecdotes (and he seems to be a pretty good sport for doing these sorts of things at all)--but *man*, getting through that first 15 minutes with these folks at the mic must have been BRUTAL for the audience in attendance. o_0 Posted Videos for the win, once again!
Very fun to listen to, what's not fun is them censoring him... Kids won't be listening to this, and if an adult can't handle a few swear words that means those adults have way worse problems than hearing some swear words.
Ideas come from random places and at random times. It's important to capture them and see if something develops. Sometimes it's a dead end but sometimes it's a story that practically writes itself but if you don't recognize it, if you don't capture it by jotting it down on a napkin, a notebook, whatever, you'll never know.
I recently became ill. Stephen interviews helps pass time. This audience freaks me out! Stephen usually has large cheers and people rolling over with laughter. This group is eerily silent!? I had a step grandfather whom had a place in his garage where he "treated" creatures caught in a live trap.. He introduced me to it at 6 years old. Even that small I thought, "WTF" and "No f-ing way I want to watch next time you empty the trap.. I'm fairly certain he was a serial killer but I have 0% proof. Even having investigated him it was so long ago when people didn't know about such monsters. Point is, I was exposed multiple times to a monster and Stephen is the writer..? Thank you so much for putting this up and for the anonymity of the net, I don't really want to be known after sharing that gem...

The idea is that curse words are bad in themselves, the utterance is what is vicious so that anyone who hears them is subject to the viciousness as well. A story or account of murder need not be vicious or corrupting in itself. "John killed James," will not encourage someone to go out and kill, but to say "go f%#k yourself," will cause someone to more easily use the word "f%#k"
I wonder how many people have attempted to complete the "Ladies Room" premise, based on this and previous anecdotes he has mentioned about it? It certainly has promise. I'll bet they are terrible efforts. But, if Stephen ever manages to figure out what is happening in "that" room, it will be a good tale. I have some ideas, myself!! Sadly, the story clearly belongs to him, if ever it is completed, because the idea was his and his alone.
@@DrVVVinK damn you must be strong mentally because theres a lot of movies that made me cry lol. And yea every single time I watch The Green Mile or the one time I read the book, made me really weak
@@Magerquark Movies don't really make me cry, unlike books, but mostly just leave me shocked that it leaves me depress, some to the point it that I could only see once.

I then realized I walked three or four blocks pass the street with my building, I was living at at the time.

+Nostalgia Yeah that's a Manatee\Sarasota county FL thing. It's my hometown, I had to grow up with those old rich farts and their endless self back patting. -_- At least it's warm and pretty enough to attract Stephen King for the winters.
Hey, dumbasses? This wasn't made for you idiots. It's a thing that this group is doing. They're going to do their personal presentation. I hate to break it to you, but no one cares about your ADHD-riddled brains. Fuck off.
53:20 "Cycle of the Werewolf" which the movie, "Silver Bullet" was based off from was another illustrated book I remember vividly as a young kid because of those graphic illustrations in the book.
He's a very entertaining guy, very likeable. I only read his memoir as I can't handle scary books or movies. I do watch his talks as I'm just interested in other writers, their processes, and their lives. From his talks one could think he writes comedy, he's got a great sense of humour and he's very down-to-earth, the two qualities not every celebrity has.
I’ve just read The Ship of Toth by Stephen King and I thought it was brilliant and am now going to read the sequel, Mr Boppingtons Bop and his Polystyrene Cat.
It must get old being asked, "Where do you get your ideas?" Reminds me of the Seinfeld where some guy asks Jerry at a party where he gets his material, and Jerry responds something like, "I hear a man's voice, but it only speaks in German, so I need a translator."
Sometimes, Stephen King is like my imaginary friend, who deals with my bullies in ways that they can't fully process, and even if they could, who'd even believe them?
Uno dei miei compiti in quanto scrittore è quello di assalire le vostre emozioni e forse di mangiarvi - e per far questo uso tutti gli strumenti disponibili. Forse sarà per spaventarvi perché vi amo e vi odio, ma potrebbe anche essere per prendervi in modo più nel dito sul ano, per farvi sentire tristi. Riuscire a farvi sentire caldi è positivo. Riuscire a farvi freddi è positivo. Farvi urlare, ridere, piangere, e sublime ma non mi importa, ma coinvolgervi, farvi fare qualcosa di più diverso che mettere il libro nello scaffale dicendo: "Ne ho finito un altro", senza nessuna reazione. Questa è una cosa che odio amo . Voglio che sappiate che io "sono tutto nei libri che scrivo".
That story, people do that. I was reading King, and people would say "I don't like Stevie." then they tell a King book they like. They play at being naive. I like thee stories, but on the far side of the bell curve, all you have is the past.
By now, hopefully everyone knows to skip to 15:18 to avoid all the insipid blather...At any rate, at 19:08 King mentions Ed McBain and Evan Hunter both, which, oddly enough are the same writer. In King’s latest book “If It Bleeds” McBain and John D. McDonald are mentioned in 2 of his novellas, so he obviously has always held these writers in high esteem. Having reading over 20 novels between these two authors myself, I can attest to their high caliber as story tellers.
wow - never heard air terror put that way: but I've thought it frequently. LOL. Gotta stay awake, gotta know what' sup: if not WE ALL DIE!!! LOl seriously, my precise thoughts. Glad to know I'm not alone....
Oh yeah, no doubt. I'm a terrible public speaker too. Fortunately, I don't have to be in my line of work. Just saying, she kinda bombed it. I don't blame her though. I'd be nervous even if Stephen King wasn't there. That place was packed.
Know your limitations. Hire someone to do it right. Anyway whoever bleeped this video (show producers?) should never of picked Steven King to speak in the first place. And I’m sure he never approved being censored.

He is quite hilarious. I guess you would have to have that as comic relief when you possess a mind like his.
both
The clever humor in his books is underrated

Uno dei miei compiti in quanto scrittore è quello di assalire le vostre emozioni e forse di mangiarvi - e per far questo uso tutti gli strumenti disponibili. Forse sarà per spaventarvi perché vi amo e vi odio, ma potrebbe anche essere per prendervi in modo più nel dito sul ano, per farvi sentire tristi. Riuscire a farvi sentire caldi è positivo. Riuscire a farvi freddi è positivo. Farvi urlare, ridere, piangere, e sublime ma non mi importa, ma coinvolgervi, farvi fare qualcosa di più diverso che mettere il libro nello scaffale dicendo: "Ne ho finito un altro", senza nessuna reazione. Questa è una cosa che odio amo . Voglio che sappiate che io "sono tutto nei libri che scrivo".
I wish he would talk more about the Dark Tower. I can never find him saying much about it.
Shawshank the best movie ive ever watched
That story, people do that. I was reading King, and people would say "I don't like Stevie." then they tell a King book they like. They play at being naive. I like thee stories, but on the far side of the bell curve, all you have is the past.
By now, hopefully everyone knows to skip to 15:18 to avoid all the insipid blather...At any rate, at 19:08 King mentions Ed McBain and Evan Hunter both, which, oddly enough are the same writer. In King’s latest book “If It Bleeds” McBain and John D. McDonald are mentioned in 2 of his novellas, so he obviously has always held these writers in high esteem. Having reading over 20 novels between these two authors myself, I can attest to their high caliber as story tellers.
Imagine Stephen King tells you that he likes the story you wrote omg
I'm waiting for the Netflix comedy special.
This was very nice.
I would love ❤ to talk to him ❤
He is the greatest Boogie Man of all. Monster 👻 👽 🤖 👾
wow - never heard air terror put that way: but I've thought it frequently. LOL. Gotta stay awake, gotta know what' sup: if not WE ALL DIE!!! LOl seriously, my precise thoughts. Glad to know I'm not alone....
From hand-writing to type-writing to keyboard-writing.
Every time Jack Torrance drinks Stephen King gets drunk.
Wish i was there
Jesus, get on with it!

Take a look at this years video with Stephen King and John Grisham at czcams.com/video/829vaz2CxiI/video.html
This woman is a terrible public speaker. Only thing she nailed was clapping into the mic.
hahaha
To be fair I am sure she is probably incredibly nervous having to speak before Stephen King.
Oh yeah, no doubt. I'm a terrible public speaker too. Fortunately, I don't have to be in my line of work. Just saying, she kinda bombed it. I don't blame her though. I'd be nervous even if Stephen King wasn't there. That place was packed.
Know your limitations. Hire someone to do it right. Anyway whoever bleeped this video (show producers?) should never of picked Steven King to speak in the first place. And I’m sure he never approved being censored.
🎤 👏🏻
Spent like 15 minuets until achaly introducing him
Could you please activate the automatic subtitles?
Skip the first 15 minutes of this video
