I don't think Insidious sucked. I don't think Perkins 14 sucked either. It just wasn't for me. Many think my taste in film isn't "Normal"

Whats wrong with most of his characters being writers? They say to write what you know and what does he know better then being a writer? I've read lots of other novel's by different authors who have done the same thing. Also in regards to IT, in the novel the closest description they can give of the form IT takes at the end is a giant spider, that doesn't mean that's actually what it was. Also i dont really see whats wrong with that anyway. IT took on people's fears and the majority of the world is afraid of spiders and there have been tons of horror/sci-fi movies about giant spiders.
Stephen King had nothing to do with the movie/miniseries so how can you blame him for his name being attached? If those responsible felt like attaching his name how is that his fault? Also Stanley Kubrick and Quentin Tarantino and many other directors do that same thing and even Clive Barker's name is attached to Hellraiser and he actually was involved in the film.
