Stephen King Says Focus on That Creepy It Sex Scene Is ‘Fascinating’

Stephen King’s It is an upsetting novel. Sometimes for the wrong reasons. Most notably, there’s the icky and inexplicable sex scene between the boys of the Loser’s Club and their one female cohort, Bev.

Adult Action Cartoon LastMan Has Loads of Style But Way Too Much Sleazy Substance

LastMan sounds like a movie from the ‘80s, wants to be set in the 1970s, and looks like it’s supposed to be happening in the ‘90s.
