Many years ago I read a Sci-fi story about a group of designers that had built a super computer (this was in the days when a small computer took up a big room).
Once they had everything hooked up...
A single round for a Barrett Light 50 sniper rifle (this weapon in the hands of a competent operation has made kills at over a mile and can penetrate thin skinned armoured vehicles).....once I got...
A bear walked into a bar and said to the bartender:
I'll have a...
I stand corrupted.:doh:
Hummmmmm......after thinking it over......maybe Sam Elliott as Roland.
In his younger days Clint Eastwood would have been "DA MAN" for Roland....think "Outlaw Jose Wales"'.

The music that played over and over in Lud was...

Many despots destroyed books and archives after coming to power.....an old adage states that "history is written by the victors".

Roland walks out into the room and sees a figure facing away from him wearing a cloak with a hood on it....the figure slowly turns and Roland expects to see the face of Walter.
Instead it is his...
What would be interesting (in my mind) would be a series of animated movies around 90 minutes long made like Polar Express. You could still tell the Conductor character was Tom Hanks. Since it was...
Russel Crowe as Roland.....have to be.

"What About Me"
(Released December of 1970)
You poisoned my sweet water.
You cut down my green trees.
The food you fed my children
Was the cause of their...
I grew up on Bradbury, Heinlein, Silverberg, Jules Verne and others.
My mother was a librarian and I spent many hours in there reading (no money for baby sitters back then) Sci-fi.
Many of...
Saw Robin Hood yesterday......I'd give it an 8.
Hand my guns over to a facist American regime.:shoot:
Lost is a great name for the series.....you miss one episode and you are.:wtf:
