His novels are recommended, given as gifts, espoused, and he is both a character and narrator, but... why? I'm a huge fan of his, but I don't really understand why he figures so largely.
What a lovely way to burn...
The writer/ director was a huge fan growing up much the same way Rusty the character was and Steven King wrote back to him when he was younger and signed some books or something and it really inspired the director to stick with writing, or something to that effect, I heard it all mentioned in an interview but I can't remember where to find the interview.
shareJosh Boone is directing an adaptation of Lisey's Story so yeah he must definitely be a King fan
shareKing never narrated this film.
The son was a big fan of the author and at the end, the author himself makes a cameo appearance-so to speak.

Irrelevant distinction, but if it gets your dick hard...

What irrelevant distinction did I make?

The distinction between doing a voice over and a narration.
What a lovely way to burn...
There is no voice over in this flick except for when the father recites Raymond Carver at the film's end.
King's voice is in the phone scene and that's it. No narrator and barely any voice over work.

I'm not about the watch the movie again since it was mediocre, but at the least he narrated that scene. Also, go *beep* yourself, yorick.
What a lovely way to burn...
Okay Yorick didn't answer your question, but calm down, dude. He didn't insult you, no need to tell him to f@ck off. Playing the know-it-all is his schtick, he does it in most of his posts. It's not a bad thing, it's just how he posts.
The Stephen King aspect isn't really functional to the plot, I assumed it was just because Josh Boone is a fan. Which is completely fine to me, I put stuff that I like into my stories all the time. I mean, if one of your characters has to have a favourite author, then why not have it be the one you love?
You heart me? What is that? Is that like I love you for pussies?
There is a difference between having a few lines while off-screen and narrating a scene. Perhaps you should learn it before getting defensive and insulting when someone tries to point out that difference.
shareHis post was semantic and beside the point; it avoided my question entirely. BTW, you're not a mystic goddess, you're just a sack of meat and bones like the rest of us.
What a lovely way to burn...
Gosh, hexrei. Only on the interweb. First of all, you clearly ignore the meaning of the word "narrator". Then you go postal on a guy who just told you that you made a mistake (but at least you know the word "irrelevant", that's good). Then you make things worse for yourself by insisting on the fact that King narrated in the movie (which huh didn't happen). And finally, you call that poor mystic goddess a "sack of meat and bones". Angry morons are the best. However, because I have a lot of love in my heart, I hope you got help since november.

In what way did he 'narrate' the scene?
He had a conversation with another character...
That's not narration.
