Let's get a white guy to play Martin Luther King for equality
Only seems fair.
shareOh that sounds great! I, love it.....who do you think, Sam Rockwell maybe? He's awesome, but so is Garrett Dillahunt.... So hard, decisions, decisions.

Wow. What an original and compelling attempt at a "take that". I can dishonestly say i've never heard that one before.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing .
Really OP? We're going there again?
*Sigh* Ignore.
"Long days and pleasant nights!"
You honestly believe that's clever, don't you?
This leads me to one conclusion: You think The Gunslinger is a real person.
Let's be bad guys.
I'm going to list the names of several people. You tell me which one doesn't belong there:
Martin Luther King, Jr.
John F. Kennedy
Dashiell Hammett
Geoff Johns
Roland Deschain
Douglas Preston
Richard Francis Burton
Pope John Paul II
Colonel/General David Daniel Marcus
*hint: it has nothing to do with occupation

Holy crap: how did I miss the Geoff Johns reference ?

Shut up it's nowhere near the same thing. One person is actually a controversial and real person, the other is a person from a fictional book series. There is a huge difference. And considering there are way more white people in movies than black people, switching a black person with a white person wouldn't exactly be pushing for equality moron.
shareMan, that is some utter shyte you are you are posting here.
I will admit that while reading the novels I pictured Roland as caucasian, that was just down to conditioning. The wild west cowboys were almost pretty much portrayed as white.
The nature of the the story, however, does not succumb to the constraints of this world. Roland could be any nationality.
You can't palm off a second-rater on me. You gotta remember I was in the pink!

So I maintain that book-Roland was white, but given that this is a movie pseudo-sequel detailing a later cycle of Roland's quest, I see no problems with movie-Roland being black.

It's the question that drives us. I know the answer is 42. share
