This show is awesome but playing "Paint it Black" during a Western shootout scene is obviously an idea you got from TDT... And before the movie comes out! Also, the show has the same costume designer for TDT.. Really well done!
shareBlaxploitation is making a modern day comeback.
Coming soon...Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, Magneto, Tony Stark (oops, that's already happening), 007, Hulk, Indiana Jones, etc.
I can't friggin' wait!

This post wasn't about race... Plenty of other places for that!
shareNever meant to make it that way.
I just assumed when you mentioned that one of the songs in Westworld's soundtrack would be "Paint it Black", you were eluding (or suggesting a wink) to Roland from The Dark Tower being a black character.

Ah. My bad, I should have been more clear... I was referring to "Hey Jude" being in The Dark Tower... And "Paint it Black" in this.. I don't think it's a coincidence.
shareMy bad also.
I'll have to Youtube "Paint It Black" to hear it. I don't know if I've heard it before.

So J.J. was the first person who had the rights to The Dark Tower movie as you may or may not know... He couldn't make it happen for whatever reason and now this... I feel like he took a page from The Dark Tower by using this song and likely hiring the same costume designer on purpose to cash in on his mistake of not making a movie he was pretty excited to make... Its a great show and I'm hooked... I just hope people don't draw a false parallel that The movie is copying the show. I know that "Hey Jude will play out in a similar way in the movie.
shareI get it now.
But off-topic. Whenever I read any of the Dark Tower novels, the song that floats through my head has always been Kiss From A Rose by Seal.
I guess it has something to do with that single red rose in the empty lot.

Is the premise of the show really that similar to Dark Tower? I haven't seen it yet.
It's not.
Btw, Westworld needs to find its footing.
I was so hyped for the show, but it's not popping the way it should yet despite what many will fool themselves into thinking.
HBO's been banking on it being their GOT replacement, but it's lacking the finesse of GOT's early seasons.
I'm still holding out for it.
