Stephen King’s 10 Favorite Movies Might Surprise You
Horror master Stephen King has given us decades of nightmares, but when it comes to watching movies, his taste is actually a lot more classic than creepy. The author just shared his 10 all-time favorite films online, and it’s a lineup that would make any film buff nod in approval.
Here’s King’s list, in no particular order:
- “Sorcerer” (1977)
- “The Godfather Part II” (1974)
- “The Getaway” (1972)
- “Groundhog Day” (1993)
- “Casablanca” (1942)
- “Treasure of the Sierra Madre” (1948)
- “Jaws” (1975)
- “Mean Streets” (1973)
- “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977)
- “Double Indemnity” (1944)
It’s a mix of crime dramas, Hollywood classics, and a few that show King’s soft spot for suspense and human nature. You can definitely see the fingerprints of these films in his own work, from the paranoia in “Sorcerer” to the small-town dynamics in “Jaws.”
Interestingly, King left off any movies based on his own novels, though he couldn’t resist giving a nod to four fan favorites: “Misery,” “The Shawshank Redemption,” “Stand by Me,” and “The Green Mile.” Each of those films earned critical praise, with “Shawshank” in particular often topping “best movies of all time” lists.
What makes King’s list fun is how eclectic it is. He’s clearly drawn to stories about flawed characters, moral dilemmas, and a bit of the surreal. “Groundhog Day” might feel like the odd one out, but then again, the idea of reliving the same day over and over has a psychological twist that fits right into King’s wheelhouse.
Fans have been quick to react online, with many praising his picks as “spot on” while others joked that they expected more horror. But maybe that’s the point. When your day job is scaring people, maybe you just want to relax with “Casablanca” or “The Godfather Part II”???
So if you’re looking for a Stephen King-approved movie marathon, you’ve got your list. Just don’t watch “Jaws” right before a beach trip.
The Latest Girl Scout Cookie: Meet the Exploremores
The Girl Scouts are back in the kitchen… and no, it’s not gender roles thing, it’s a new cookie!
Their newest concoction is called the Exploremores, and they’re basically a Rocky Road cookie in uniform.
Here’s the breakdown:
- Chocolate cookies ✅
- Creamy filling ✅
- Flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond crème ✅✅✅
The organization says the cookies are meant to “reflect the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Girl Scout.” Which sounds inspiring… though let’s be honest, some Girl Scouts are just exploring how many hours they can spend on Roblox.
The Exploremores officially roll out in January when cookie season starts, joining the classics (Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas, etc.) and newer recruits like Adventurefuls, Lemon-Ups, Toffee-tastics, and Caramel Chocolate Chip.
Noticeably absent? Remember Raspberry Rallys… which were kinda like Thin Mints with a raspberry twist? They seemed to be a hit a couple years ago, but apparently they were a one-off thing.
And don’t bother asking for S’mores or Toast-Yays either. Those were retired earlier this year, so it’s goodbye to cookies shaped like French toast.
So, Girl Scout Cookie Season 2026: Now with added marshmallow crème.
Bad Apple: A Man Got a DUI… in a Pink Barbie Jeep?
If you’re six years old, driving a Barbie Jeep around the block is adorable. If you’re a grown man doing it on a Slurpee run? Not so much.
Police in Prince George, British Columbia arrested Kasper Lincoln last weekend after spotting him cruising through town in a child-sized, hot-pink Barbie Jeep. He was rocking aviator sunglasses too… because nothing says “responsible driver” like pretending you’re in Top Gun while sitting in a toy car.
Kasper later explained he was just being “lazy” and decided to roll to the store in the Jeep while a buddy walked beside him. He claims he mostly stayed on the sidewalk, but admits he ventured onto the road, which is when things went downhill (metaphorically, not literally).
That’s when police pulled him over and found some actual problems:
- His driver’s license was already suspended.
- He was also over the legal alcohol limit.
So yes, he was officially arrested for DUI in a Barbie Jeep. The court also banned him from driving for another 90 days… though honestly, at 5 mph, the Jeep was probably safer than a skateboard.
Onlookers thought it was hilarious. The cops? Not so much. They reminded everyone that drunk driving is never a joke, even if the “vehicle” is technically designed for kids ages 3 to 7.
Kasper says he didn’t realize he was breaking the law, has “no issues with the police,” and even called the arresting officer “nice.” As for his lesson learned? Quote: “Don’t drink and drive.”
So at least he got the right moral out of the world’s strangest driver’s ed refresher.
(Here’s a news report on this madness.)
What Your Go-To Drink Order Says About You
When you’re at a bar or restaurant, do you stress over your drink order? Maybe you should. According to Food & Wine, your go-to beverage might be saying more about you than you realize—and yes, your server is probably silently judging you while you sip.
Whether you’re sticking to sparkling water or ordering something that would make Carrie Bradshaw proud, here’s what your drink choice could be broadcasting to the world.
1. Water: Hydrated and humble—or maybe just frugal.
Ordering water? Congrats, you’re either focused on wellness or looking to dodge that $6 soda charge. But there’s nuance here. Tap water says you’re grounded and low-maintenance. Sparkling water? You’re giving “I eat at places with cloth napkins and have opinions about Icelandic salt.”
2. Cosmopolitan: Channeling your inner 2000s diva.
This order screams Sex and the City fan, even if you’ve never admitted it out loud. Servers might assume you like your drama shaken, not stirred—and probably with a lime wedge on the rim.
3. Coffee: Depends how complicated you make it.
Coffee is a personality test in a mug. Straight black? You mean business. Add oat milk, nutmeg, and whipped cream? Your server now knows you require a 15-step morning routine and probably have “cozy aesthetic” in your Instagram bio.
4. Hot Tea: Self-care in a cup.
A hot tea order suggests you’ve journaled about your feelings at least once this week. You’re introspective, sincere, and probably know the difference between “your” and “you’re.”
5. Tito’s and Vodka: Wait, what now?
This is a special one. If you order a “Tito’s and vodka,” your bartender will definitely clock it—and maybe post about it. Tito’s is vodka, so what you’re really ordering is vodka with a splash of… more vodka. One bar is even trolling customers by charging $100 for it. Double the vodka, double the confusion.
According to Food & Wine, it’s all part of the unspoken dance between patrons and the people serving them.
So what’s your signature drink? (If you said Yoo-hoo, let’s hang out.)
Nine Things Gen Z Gets Right
Plenty of young people can begrudgingly admit when an older’s person’s take is spot-on. (You sure do like your parents’ old fashion choices anyway.)
So it’s only fair we take a break from badmouthing the kids to sing their praises every now and then. Here are the top five things Gen Z gets right.
1. Answering the phone is stupid.
Why are you calling me like it’s 1998? Unless you’re on fire or delivering tacos, text first. Gen Z knows that phone calls are chaotic, unplanned, and emotionally aggressive. There’s no transcript, no emoji tone indicators, and zero time to prepare. If you “just wanted to talk,” please book a slot via Google Calendar like a civilized human.
2. Don’t smoke weed. Eat it.
Gen Z figured out how to get high without smelling like a burnt couch cushion. Edibles are discreet, longer-lasting, and way easier on your lungs. You get the chill vibes without coughing your face off or setting off the smoke alarm. Honestly, it’s wellness-adjacent at this point. Martha Stewart does gummies. That’s all the endorsement you need.
3. Why pay for Netflix when you can steal it?
They tried to make password-sharing a crime. Gen Z turned it into a resistance movement. Let’s be real: If you’re gonna keep raising prices, making shows that are two seasons long, and forcing us to scroll past 17 versions of “Love Is Blind,” then yeah, we’re gonna hop on Aunt Linda’s login. It’s not theft, it’s digital resourcefulness. (Related news: Capitalism is slipping in the polls.)
4. Don’t judge people by the color of their skin. Judge them by the content of their old tweets.
Gen Z didn’t invent cancel culture, they just optimized it. Accountability isn’t about dragging people for sport. It’s about saying, “Hey, maybe you shouldn’t have tweeted that in 2011.” Skin tone has never been a sign of someone’s character, but your digital paper trail might be. Delete wisely.
5. If you have mental health issues, seek help.
It’s way better than marrying a Kardashian and becoming antisemitic. Therapy is not taboo anymore. Gen Z normalized talking about mental health like it’s just part of basic hygiene, because it is. Instead of spiraling in public and blaming fame, they’re journaling, meditating, and booking that BetterHelp session. Way cheaper than a Twitter apology tour.
6. That’s not skin. It’s a giant blank canvas.
Every Boomer said, “You’ll regret that when you’re older.” And Gen Z replied, “I’d rather regret art than regret being boring.” Tattoos aren’t rebellion anymore. They’re fashion, therapy, and identity, all rolled into one. Also, they’re way easier to commit to than a career or a mortgage. So ink up.
7. Bisexuality increases your odds of getting laid.
Gen Z is more open about who they are. And statistically speaking, it’s a solid move. Twice the attraction radius, double the romantic possibilities, and way more dating app matches. They’re just not so stressed about rigid labels. It’s less about shocking grandma and more about being real with yourself. If it works, it works!
8. Forget the office grind.
The 9-to-5 was never sacred. It was just the only option. Now? You can side hustle, protect your work/life balance… and post a few pics on OnlyFans if you’re so inclined – no meetings required! Gen Z figured out how to monetize what Boomers were too shy to even acknowledge. Capitalism gave them lemons, so they sold tasteful thirst traps and bought the lemonade factory. Now the only question is can they earn enough to pay the mortgage on that factory.
9. Marriage is pointless.
Gen Z isn’t anti-love, they’re just not pretending rings equal happiness. When half of marriages end in divorce and most people can’t afford a wedding or a house, maybe committing to yourself first isn’t so selfish after all. They’re rewriting what partnership looks like, and spoiler: it doesn’t always involve a courthouse or matching towels.
So if you’re not too sore from your latest tattoo (or too high from that second edible), give yourselves a pat on the back, Gen Z.
Like Gen X and Millennial babies before you, the freshest generation always gets hated on. (When Gen Alpha shows up and starts using “skibidi” and “67” in work meetings, you’ll understand.)
Keep being you, Gen Z. We like your style… except for those JNCO jeans. They were whack even in ’99.

Charlie Sheen Went Fishing for the Loch Ness Monster with a Leg of Lamb and a Bottle of Whiskey
With the arrival of the new Netflix doc “aka Charlie Sheen,” there’s a whole new generation of young people just finding out he went batshit crazy in the early 2010s.
Sure, his “winning” and “tiger blood” era only lasted a few years – which he somehow survived – but for better or worse, it was a huge thread in the fabric of American culture.
So it should surprise no one that Charlie firmly believes in the existence of the Loch Ness Monster… and once went looking for it. (Her?)
He booked a ticket to Scotland and bought some whiskey
In 2013, Charlie booked a trip to Scotland. He had one of his people call a local hotel owner and tell him to gather up an old-style wooden rowboat, a traditional kerosene lamp, a large hook, a thick chain, and a leg of lamb.
If some of that sounds familiar, it’s because Charlie was allegedly inspired by the scene in “Jaws” where two guys try to catch the shark off a pier by stabbing a “holiday roast” with a big hook and tossing it into the drink.
When Charlie was assured he’d have everything he needed, he flew to Scotland on a private jet, then went out onto the Loch with two friends, his leg of lamb… and of course, a bottle of whiskey.
Fishing for Nessie at 3:00 A.M.
According to the hotel owner, “He went out on the rowing boat on Friday afternoon with his friends and again on Friday night until about 3:00 A.M.”
Not surprisingly, they didn’t hook any large, aquatic cryptids. But in an appearance on “The Tonight Show” in 2014, he told Jay Leno that on his last day in Scotland, “Something happened – there was an event at the top of the water that was crazy.”
Then again, Charlie appeared a little confused even during that interview, because he also told Jay, “That’s where Loch Ness lives. In Lake Nessie.”
He had company…
An interesting side note: One of the guys who went out on the boat with Charlie was Todd Zeile, a retired baseball player who spent 16 years in the majors. (He bounced around to 12 different MLB teams in that span, but never ended up “winning” a World Series.)
The other was Brian Peck, who spent 16 months in prison from 2004 to 2005 for the sexual assault of a minor… who was later revealed to be Drake Bell of “Drake and Josh” fame. Despite his conviction, Peck continued to get work, including as a stand-in for Charlie on the series “Anger Management” in 2012.
Charlie even shared a pic of them in a tweet about the trip, joking they were “sanctioned archeologists” with a grant from MIT.
So yeah, there was a good stretch there where Charlie Sheen (aka Carlos Estevez) was doing very reasonable things with very reasonable people. #winning
That Golden Bachelor Who Didn’t Want Anyone Over 60 Doesn’t Really Have a Choice
Mel Owens, the 66-year-old “Golden Bachelor”, stirred up controversy when he said he wasn’t interested in dating women over 60. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have much of a choice.
ABC has revealed the cast for the new season, and the age breakdown is raising eyebrows. Out of the 23 women vying for Mel’s attention, only one is under 60, and she’s 58. There are two who are exactly 60, and the rest are all older.
In fact, four contestants are over 70, with the oldest clocking in at 77.
So, if you’re placing bets on who makes it past Episode 1, you might want to think carefully before putting money on Grandma. But hey, maybe she’s got the secret weapon: decades of wisdom and a mean lasagna recipe.
The show has always leaned into its mix of sweet moments and messy drama, and this season looks like it won’t disappoint. Whether Mel ends up finding true love or just another round of reality TV chaos, the cast lineup suggests this will be one of the more unpredictable seasons yet.
The Golden Bachelor returns Wednesday, September 24th on ABC. Grab your wine, text your group chat, and get ready to cringe-watch together.
