The baby was killed, I suppose. The text explains he left the town without one living soul (or something to that tune). Road Virus, the Tull massacre was a flashback, a story Roland told Brown. It...

My take on Legion: legion is a word, rather than a name. It refers to a group. I think it was used initially just to imply a scary bunch of people, or even erroneously implying a scary person. It...

I think watching Roland-as-Mort running through the subway, on fire, and leaping in front of a speeding train, will make a great sequence. As I stated in another thread, I feel the first two books...

I think a three hour movie could get Gunslinger and Drawing in it, provided the inevitable watering down is in there. This gets the rest of the main characters introduced early. Wastelands could be...

Nah, didn't book 7 reveal Flagg decided to fight with Farson?

When it comes to the true bad guys, they are usually monsters or powerful creatures not of our world. They are the truly wicked, the truly evil. With the human bad guys, King uses them as mentally...

I hear ya on the character development aspect, Rice Dancer. Under the Dome, obviously, had a million characters. He did nicely with Big Jim's son, but couldn't come close imo with any of the main...

Full Dark, No Stars, though not a novel, registers somewhere on my list. The short stuff was always the one area I had no doubts about with King. Even his endings, which I tend to find rushed, or...

I'm still nervous, and I'm scared that I'm automatically gonna view the movies through a skeptic lens because of it. I don't want to. I want to enjoy it. I WILL enjoy it, but I think the first...

What about the tunnels in The Stand? You don't need to be scared of the dark to be freaked out with that scenario.

But overall, to me, the scariest stuff King does is usually his...

I think NBC can make it work, though I'd love to see it in AMC's hands. A bit more freedom. I'm mostly worried about continuity between a series and a series of movies.

Maybe between W&G and WotC means exactly that. Not the backstory of W&G, but the castle scene with Flagg. His reference to Roland and Cuthbert could be backstory within a story.

I'm with you. I think he told Nort that it was all some story, that they weren't real (of course, I like to think they were real, just kinda directed a bit by King). When Walter talks of Roland...

Hi to all.

Hey everyone. Found this in the Old Threads portion of Camp Doc. Thought I'd come see what's up.

How did you discover the Dark Tower?
Big King fan. I think it was reading Insomnia that pushed...
