I fell in love with Jennifer when I saw her breast side on in The Supergrass, back in the 80's.

Biggest worry for me- another World War Z
Did anyone read the book, and think 'wow- this would make an awesome movie' and then they make a movie! And your like, 'wow I can't believe they are making a movie of World war z!'
And then you queue for tickets, and are pleased to be sat in front of the big screen without even seeing one of these gawd awful trailers that give everything away.
Then you watch the movie.
"What the hell!" You cry. "This isn't the story I read last year- hell it doesn't even have one scene from the book max brooks wrote...not one!" And that's why you went- to see the book brought to life. Not a prequel, not a sequel . Hell not even an interpretation. It said world war z. Not based on World war Z!
Hell, there wasn't even a mention to the battle of Yonkers!
Now this is the worry I have for DT. And it is a real big worry. Maybe it should be named the dark tower: The next chapter, like Friday the 13th when it went all stoopid.
I have been waiting too long to be disappointed, so I am on the fence now with the YAY camp and the NAY camp. If I want to see a 'what next' I'll stick with my version that lies gathering dust, in a box, under my bed.

I can't wait for this to flop. In hopes that another studio pics it up down the line and sticks to the characters and story line.
I've been waiting for the movie for months! I doubt it will play in any theaters here in the States though. So, it'll be a dvd release and then I can watch it over and over and over......
Really?
Give it a go at least, maybe this is the only way SK is going to deal with closure of long tall and ugly to finally shut the mouths of the people pestering him to change
Roland's painful non ending eternity of torture
I'm slowly training my brain to focus on the next quest, the 'Return to Oz' adventure, but will listen closely to the grapevine.
Sounds like a comic strip presents to me
The only feature length film The Comic Strip crew made. It's on Wikipedia mate.
Thanks! I have Five Go Mad on dvd. It's a strange show......
Like I said before they're a bit dated, but well worth a watch. It's when alternative comedy had just started. Absolutely loads of, now, famous British comedians in there. Rik Mayall, Ade Edmudson, Jen Saunders, Dawn French, Lenny Henry, Robbie Coltrane Nigel Planer, Alexi Sayle, Keith Allen , to name just a few. Rik and Ade were brilliant at slapstick. The Yob with Keith Allen was my favourite. And The Strike. Anybody fancy some sullying?
Idris Elba @idriselba 23h23 hours ago
I am Roland, son of Steven, son of Henry, true descendant of Arthur. And I have not forgotten. #TheDarkTowerMovie
Saw this yesterday. I frikking love it. They're totally messing with the narrative of the books, true, but I believe Elba will nail it as Roland.
And now we cue the inevitable haters...
