Yanno, the more I think about it the more I agree with that. Leave it alone, already. You can't do it justice. :)
It would take a total tower freak to do it even halfway right.

Yeah, and HBO are dirty, dirty liars. The whole thing makes me angry.
HBO is doing a series of Vertigo's Preacher comics. The guy who did Daredevil is doing it, but he has wisened up a bit, and he went in to the HBO people and put down the stack of Preacher comics and basically said "Here, this is my script, each one is an episode." That makes me happy, and after I see how they handle Preacher, I will make a final verdict on wetehr or not I would like to see them do The Dark Tower.
So who do you have in mind, Brice?
I think JJ Abrams has the rights, so we're at his mercy at the moment.
Never heard of that one. I'll have to go see. :D
You definitely should. It's an amazing film.
Hmm. Maybe when I get done with school (TWO WEEKS, PEOPLE!!! VIRTUAL PARTY ON THE WAY! GATHER UP YOUR ALCOHOL OF CHOICE!!!) I had better join Netflix so I can catch up.
OT, but has anyone seen 11:14? If not, do. Weird, creepy, and darkly funny as all hell. A freebie on IFC for me (I LOVE MY DVR!!!)
Do you boys need to be alone? LOL. :rofl:
Brice, Roland going through Tull in a 300-like fashion, yay or nay?
LOL wish I could but I have to write a half-assed 2100 word paper on what ongoing learning means to me.
Anyone else have their BS meter set to HIGH? Ummm, hey, stupid prof, I have an ENGLISH DEGREE!!! Yes, I can BS you in ways you have not yet imagined!!!
What a waste of time and money. I am seriously pissed. This will be the ONE TIME I actually write comments in the class survey form (not that they'll listen, but I will feel better).
I am going to make you very sad by saying this, but:
1) I haven't seen 300.
2) The only way I'm likely to is if it's free (i.e. my roommate buys it) as it's just not my type of film.
Edit: Are you familiar with the film I mentioned? I know how you know and love movies.
FP: I still love you anyway, despite the magnitude of faults.
I know you do josh, I know you do. ;) (Not in a brokeback mountain way though, right? :P )
Brice - is that the one with that shapeshifting dude?
I'm not really down with DT being made into a movie or a tv series - although I'd pick movie format for WaG and WotC - I think they'd both translate very well to film...I just don't want to see it happen :P
On the plus side, JJ Abrams has tremendous respect for SK and is a towerjunkie so, theres hope at least...
FP: only if you've washed vigorously
:lol:
Please fall through deals.....
A DT film would probably not be very good, IMO. Sorry for the pessimism.
But you would still go watch it though, right? :)
I have a feeling we're attending the same school. :ninja:
I'd really love to see the series be made into movies. To solve the Jake problem: genetically engineer twin blondie boys. Plant each one into a surrogate three-five years apart. Problem solved. There's an older jake and a younger jake and they're ready to go. It's not creepy and weird if it's done for art, right?
I guess I'd be ok with a mini-series if (like everyone else has said) there was a solid commitment to see the whole series through to the "end".
