Always found this to be such a cringe line. Stephen King is great but can make some real cringe stuff like that

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

That's funny, I thought the lingual drift of thank you was really neat as a detail. I forget the plates thing, though. Was that when everyone was getting their powers?

[–] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Them reciting their mantra when they start shooting, or the shrieking they do when they throw the plates, just makes my skin crawl lol. I hope they omit those if they do an on screen adaptation.

[–] MurphysPaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They already did make one but it wasn't great

Dark tower IMDB

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That never happened. It was... a joke. Yeah.

[–] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah that was a fever dream. On the bright side, Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) is apparently the one in charge of a series coming in the next few years. So that should be pretty solid. Fingers crossed lol

A series is the only way to do Dark Tower. It's too much to try to cram into a movie; there's just about a season's worth in most of the books, and if 8 seasons is a stretch of a commitment for a studio, several of the books are smaller and you could probably reasonably compress the series into 5 seasons.

They need to do it while King is still around, IMHO. More than any other of his novels he seems to have been more emotionally invested in The Dark Tower.

[–] bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Oh 100% agreed. I think it was the Song of Susanahh especially that I thought could have been cut down by about 50%.

And yeah, it would definitely be nice for him to see his work faithfully adapted. I do selfishly hope he takes a backseat creatively though. He's a phenomenal writer but a terrible filmmaker (imo).

This picture is not accurate. The world should be flat on top of the turtle.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It aso says "all the things", which bothers me. But the overall picture is fun.
