The Tim Curry thing I thought was relevant because he played Pennywise but the others I just brought up because they were the only other things I could remember of significance on April 19th. Sorry to offend you.

My birthday is 6 days before 9/11, but don't even think about it folks.
No one is "dwelling" on the Branch Davidian "crap". It is relevant as those are significant events on that date.Quote:

Why so many shots at a guy who ended his post with "LOL just wondering is all"? :orely:
'Stress Tab' sounds like the Territory's equivelant of the 'Chill Pill', awesome! :smile:Quote:

Anyone else see the first episode of Season 3 of The Leftovers? People waiting for the trailer remind me of those religious folk who climbed to the roof of the house time and time again expecting to be taken! ;)Quote:

Well they did release the poster last month on the 19th and things like Dark Tower riddles and promo pictures on the other 19ths. So it wasn't too crazy to think we might get the trailer today, especially since we know it is already out there because of CinemaCon. There should have at least been something today.Quote:

I think they don't know how to sell it since they didn't make a straight up adaptation and it will be a hard sell to non fans, they don't want to spend money to try to sell it.Quote:

Most likely it's just waiting for the right moment so it's not overshadowed by any other big trailer dropping prior or after it. So that it gets maximum social media traction.
The DT series in general is just a hard sell. Its the reason they are not as popular as his other books. I haven't been very successful in getting people into DT over my lifetime.(Its that damn DT1 lol). So im all for them doing what there doing. As long as the Characters are true to the books:) (I still think Idris will nail Roland's personality)Quote:

INFERNO that was by Ron Howard's company and I guess a big disappointment compared to other Dan Brown's adaptations. But the movie was frankly bad, and I didnt really see any marketing around it, was there?Quote:

Back at that time, an unfinished trailer leaked missing only CGIs. Surely they had time to do those by now, and I agree that it's weird that the trailer hasnt been showed yet & that they probably do not them to be overshadowed by other trailers, but let's be honnest : from now this year there will probably be a lot of teasers/trailers for "big" blockbusters, so I dont know if there really will be a better timing.
I really start to fear that this movie will be a stinker at the box office. Do we have any idea of how much was invested into the production?
Why do people this this will suck/stink because the trailer hasn't come our way yet? I think that is just silly to think. The amount of talk about it blows me away. I shall remain positive until I see it...
Maybe 4/25/17? Or am I climbing on the roof again?
There was a $60 million production budget.Quote:

Yeah your probably right. Its just the waiting thats killing me:)Quote:
