It's a shame that this will kill all chances of a proper Dark Tower film series.


They could have made something genuinely great with this. Instead they pulled a PC publicity stunt with the casting, ignored the book's story almost entirely and worst of all did it on the cheap and turned it into some YA adaption cr*p with Roland as Jake's sidekick.

The inevitable tanking of this will basically ensure that no studio will take a chance on the Dark Tower again.

Also, here is the translation for "PC": "Anything or anyone not a heterosexual Caucasian/white male."

Typical lazy Wesker reply. You have no counter argument so ignore the point entirely, don't think you know how to stay on topic anymore.

Typical lazy Wesker reply. [I AM A SAD MAN WHO LIVES IN HIS AUNT'S GARAGE. WELL, NOT GARAGE BECAUSE SHE STILL WANTS TO PARK. I LIVE IN THE ATTIC-LIKE ROOM ABOVE THE GARAGE. I HAVE TO CLIMB A LADDER TO GET TO MY BED. I KNOW THE JOKE IS MOTHER'S BASEMENT, BUT HONESTLY SHE'S HAD ENOUGH OF MY *beep* SO SHE KICKED ME OUT. I AM SPIDER] You have no counter argument so ignore the point entirely, don't think you know how to stay on topic anymore. [MY TOPIC IS A ONE NOTE PONY. I am Spider, and I don't know idioms. SO IF YOU SAY ANYTHING BESIDES "SJW SHILL! I HATE BERNIE AND MINORITIES AND WOMEN AND ESPECIALLY MYSELF" THEN YOU'RE GOING OFF TOPIC.]

Do you really have nothing better to do than follow me around the boards?

Delete your account.

Wow you formed your own post for a change. That is definitely not happening troll, you delete yours instead you pathetic little mini me.

reply

What if I delete yours? Would that work?

reply

You couldn't delete mine, because you are not me. A fact you already admitted with your "Delete your account" quote. If all your bullsh*t was true you wouldn't have needed to say that, if there was actually anyone buying that nonsense you just gave away you are chatting total sh*t.
You complete dullard.

reply

Oh, look, it's trying to think.

I don't know if you're aware of this but I've already changed things. I killed Ben Linus.

Shouldn't say that about yourself. Yes you are a dimwit, but at least you should pretend to yourself that you can form a coherent thought.

Are you just desperate to get my attention?

This post reads like the final essay Jake wrote in The Waste Lands.

One of my favorite parts of the series.

Blane the Train is a pain (Choo-Choo).

I kinda agree.

Not with your constant 'PC' caterwauling, or your certainty that the movie will tank.

But I do find myself kinda bummed that they aren't sticking very close to the story of the series. That's not to say that what they do come up with won't be good, and I'm definitely going into it with an open mind.

It's just that I would give A LOT to see Idris Elba in a very faithful adaption of the series, perhaps told over the course of a hundred or so episodes of a netfilx original. And knowing that I'll never get that does make me sorta sad.

reply

Elba in it would make it now a faithful adaption because that would require changing things, would need a much more talented and suitable actor for a faithful adaption.

reply

You'll have to excuse Detta198.

Elba once forgot to leave a tip. A massive tsunami of saltiness has continued to persist since then.

No user called that on this board, there is however a pea brained hypocrite who tries to derail all topics they are too stupid to reply to properly and whose idea of a contribution to a thread is insult. Hint: that's you dip sh*t.

Bump.
