Thanks, Bev. I've already put up a News story but it takes a few minutes for the system to reboot.
Just saw this on Facebook. I have to say, they look great on this cover! Now it all feels real, and I think I can get into it. One thing, though. Did anyone catch that bullet point saying that Roland has "forgotten the face of his father" as he pursues the Man in Black? Ummm, no. That whole sentence feels wrong. I know they're just probably trying to introduce as much of King's DT speak as possible to the public, but...unless I'm wrong; then feel free to smack me and tell me what I'm forgetting!
Yeah, you're right. I guess that's probably what they mean. My initial reaction was just, WHAT? Roland NEVER forgets the face of his father! He's the one who tells everyone else not to, lol!I think Roland has forgotten the face of his father by the beginning of The Gunslinger. What he does to Jake (in the book)? He's gone down a very dark and narrow path.
This one has some spoilers -- I'm trying to remove the hyperlink title!
What the film changes (and keeps) from Stephen King's books
Based on those two articles, it sounds like the core story is there. I am getting more excited about this than I was at first. I am loving the pictures. Elba doesn't look too bad, really, as Roland. The more I see, the more I believe it. And I am glad he said he wanted to get it right.
I also wasn't sure about MM as Walter, but he sounds like he is having such fun playing a bad guy, and the pics of him are great, too.
I don't know, this may turn out A-OK!
Sigh. Why are people always asking me if I really read things when I offer my opinion?It does? Did we read the same article?

It is just my opinion. That is all. Agree or disagree as you please. But I do not enjoy being called out like I did not comprehend what I just read.

Thank you for that but no apology is necessary, it's all good. I am not feeling well and worried about a bunch of real life stuff and I was being too touchy.
