So I'm pretty excited Chuck has a new novel in the works. I'll read anything the man writes. I don't expect every novel to be ground breaking and stunning but I know I'll be entertained and always get a new twist on an old idea. That and for sure he's undeniabley one of the greatest writers ever.

My only concern about Snuff is that the cover art they're showing looks remarkabley similar if not identical to the cover for Porn by Irvine Welsh. And the last thing Chuck needs is being accused of using a similar or identical cover art to another very popular and best selling author.

 

Does anyone else share this concern, or am I alone in a box in an empty room of an abandoned house in the middle of a parched desert on this one?

I'm sure the last thing Chuck needs is something pretty far removed from whatever his publishers decide to use as the cover to his next novel. It'd probably be interesting to try and figure out what would be the last thing Chuck would need. We would first have to create a list of things, and then order them in priority of use. I'd imagine probably that, being an author, a hypothetical situation regarding his book cover could well come in handy with some such ploy, so I stand by my original arguement that an accusation is most certainly not the last thing he'll need. I suppose the last thing he'll need would be a single grain of sand, or perhaps a old thin hole-ridden sock that doesn't fit - though he could use that to wipe his nose, or set on fire or anything. I think my single grain of sand idea was a good one, I might stick with it. Though I guess it's small and economical, it could go under his fingernails and be used as a quick alibi as to why the new novel's not finished, "Was gardening, etc." - everyone knows authors Garden in sand.

 

Really, I think the last thing we all needed was Spiderman 3, and more specifically the stupid hoverboard instead of the Green Goblin flyer James Franco, apparently known as the druid to his close associates, flies around on.

On those lines, how much of that $258 million budget did Sam Raimi shove up his own arse?

Here's a quick critique of the Snuff cover from Publisher's Weekly:

"In fact, Snuff is even highly reminiscent of Welsh’s Porno, which features the gaping plastic lips of a blow-up doll."

 Okay Word Alchemist, you can say "I told you so."
