    Who is Tirana?

    She'd have to have jiggly t**s.

    First Pics of Elba As Roland

    I've yet to see a single picture of Roland Deschain of Gilead. Only Elba dressed up in steampunk cosplay attire. Maybe he can catch a nearby comicon.

    I wont go see the DT movie because...

    I could not have said it any better. You sound just like me. I wrote this whole movie off some time ago, and have come to peace with the fact that this is not The Dark Tower I know and love. Just a Hollywood rendition of a masterpiece, that has been gutted and reworked to hopefully appeal to the...

    First Pics of Elba As Roland

    Yes. Yes I would. The whole story itself revolves around Roland. Always has. And Cort said it best. "You are the one who never changes, Roland." His entire history is already set, up to point of the leaving or picking up of Elds horn. He's not Walter, who has numerous incarnations over the...

    First Pics of Elba As Roland

    I found it quite amusing when a few of you got on the subject about how off the costuming was. The casting of main characters was ridiculous in the first place. And yet you thought maybe everything else that was finely detailed and laid out in the books would make it into production? I hope you...

    First Pics of Elba As Roland

    Same here. I've purposely avoided most of the recent TV series they've put out there. I made the grave error of watching the first two episodes of The Dome before realizing I wasn't doing myself any favors by continuing.

    First Pics of Elba As Roland

    Exactly what I have had in mind all along. No way in hell do I want another Star Wars prequel stuck in my brain files. I've spent years pretending they never happened, and have pretty much deleted those images from memory. Though I still have an occasional nightmare that they do exist. ;)

    And after this little movie the masses will still have no idea what The Dark Tower is. But I do know you're correct, and I know how the movie making dynamics work. I also realize I'm preaching to the choir. I just can't seem to control myself from kicking that damn proverbial horse. :(

    First Pics of Elba As Roland

    There is a simple truth to this entire project... It's not The Dark Tower. Love it, hate it, or have complete ambivalance for it, but that truth will never change. I've never understood why Hollywood has to divert so far from the source material. These stories are popular for a reason. Then...

    Aging and re-reading

    That sentence made perfect sense to me. Therefore, I find nothing wrong with it!

    Aging and re-reading

    I've read twenty-eight books in the last six months. Seven of which were King re-reads. I'm on the same page as you. :)

    Aging and re-reading

    Lately I've been re-reading a lot of Kings books I have not read in over twenty years. It's amazing what you take away from a story once you have a bit more age and experience on you.

    Who the hell reads books for the endings? That would be your first mistake.

    The ONLY Casting For Roland That Makes Sense...

    It's really a crying shame we can't just poor an elixir of youth down Clint's gullet. :(

    IDRIS ELBA, NO NO NO

    You haven't gone far enough... The Dark Tower is genre stew. It encompasses fiction, westerns, horror, science fiction, fantasy, romance, drama, all in a nice little bowl for your eating enjoyment. I think there is even some D.I.Y. Instructional manual in there somewhere.

    IDRIS ELBA, NO NO NO

    And for the love of bacon, don't let whatever abomination these hacks at Sony are preparing to unleash on us be your "doorway" into that epically fantastical world. I beg thee.

    IDRIS ELBA, NO NO NO

    You really need to finish the Opus. I have been through the story more times than I can honestly recollect in the last twenty-five years. Both in written form and the audiobooks. It is ingrained in my mind like nothing else. I don't think a day goes by where some passage from the story does...

    IDRIS ELBA, NO NO NO

    I can only guess it's because I've somehow assembled your username into the word Greenlight. Subconsciously, of course.

    IDRIS ELBA, NO NO NO

    And just wait, Chief. If you hang around long enough you'll get the whole "another level of the Tower" argument. On one level, Roland looks like Kim Jong-un, Oy is the spitting image of Barney the dinosaur, and the rose is actually a dandelion that resides in a crack in the parking lot of...

    Abbey Lee cast in DARK TOWER movie . . . but as whom??

    Straight to video.
