I just got back from the 19:19 showing (heh), and I gotta say that with all the issues I had with it, I still was entertained by it.

THE GOOD:

* Idris Elba was a fantastic Roland. He wasn't as...

I'd say a farm boy named Walter Padick begs to differ, Matt. <_<

Yeah I know... probably hasn't...

On a semi-unrelated note, I've been listening to the audio books for the first time in order to prep myself for the film (it's been several years since I read the novels). And when listening to The...

I mean, obviously it's a rough teaser, but I am very much digging what I'm seeing.

Honestly, I think that everything up to the decision Roland makes under the mountains happens in every single loop. But I still believe that it works better if every time he has to draw someone, it's...

If he could mask his heavy accent, Abraham Attah wouldn't be bad. The kid has great gravitas and quite the presence for someone his age. But they'll probably (wisely) go for an unknown.

On the subject of Oy, I am extremely wary. CGI is almost never convincing and ages rapidly and poorly. If they do decide to bring Oy to the screen, I hope it's through some puppetry, with CGI there...

No, and I like the idea that he doesn't draw the same ka-tet each time. I personally view Roland's world as purgatory for his ka-tet, and that after their journeys conclude, they reach peace and...

McConaughey wouldn't have been terrible, especially if one views his Rust Cohle as a deep-fried, more philosophical Roland . . . but his million-watt smile, relaxed likability and magnetism are just...

It's pretty well easy to handle. Odetta/Detta has been plucked out of 1964 and taken to an alien landscape by two men she doesn't know. One of them invaded her mind (and for that reason alone she...

Is it not "long, tall, and ugly"?

Regardless, I understood you to have your tongue at least somewhat firmly planted in cheek, but I have seen others say that Elba is not ugly enough to assume the...

Oh yeah. His Black Mass score, for instance, is appropriately atmospheric and there are even moments of Fury Road that are "somber."

Digging the hell out of them revolvers.

Mad Max: Gilead Road? I am absolutely on board with that look. Yeah, it's not quite what Sai King described, but it looks great.

I suspect that Abbey Lee is playing the Allie character from Tull with a different, more unique name.

Also, keep in mind that it's likely this is going to be


a different cycle than the...

The more that I think about Elba as Roland, the more I'm fine with it. No, he doesn't look anything like what King describes in the novel, but that doesn't matter in the least. Roland's ethnicity...
