amen to that.
Viggo Mortensen did a whole fight scene naked in Eastern Promises, and it was honestly pretty badass. He kicked the crap out of those guys.
a little derailing of the conversation, but the part that got me all welled up the most in the series was
Oy dying. "Olan..."
This is very true and very well put. Personally, though, I feel that my feelings would have evolved this same way without the addition of W&G: King put enough of stronger, better, cleaner cut, more...
when i got to W&G my first time around, i was not happy at all to see that the flashback seemed to last nearly the entire book (i thumbed ahead after reading about 10 pages to see how long i had to...
i thought the same thing when i first finished the books years ago. I am currently on book 6 of my second reading, and my opinion is completely changed. knowing its significance has made me more...
i completely agree that things will have to be changed, we all know that.
but in my opinion, you cant change some very important details. smaller details that affect HOW the plot unfolds, yes. ...
wow, i really hope not. above all, even if all of the story is not included, it certainly should not be changed. especially the "ending" as it is originally intended. it essentially changes...
ahhh, i gotcha...
yea, actually the first like 100 pages or so is really good and very fast-paced. the opening scene is very well contrived.
after that it kinda gets plain silly.
did u read Desperation too? i mean, there's a chance you really did like Regulators, but the two stories are about the same entity and Desperation was miles ahead better. at least, in my opinion.
The Regulators was pretty damn cheesy. I liked Desperation, but Regulators novel stretched the concept a little too far. some of the things conjured up were just too ridiculous to be even remotely...
charles burnside was the old man's name. he was truly a twisted character, i have to agree. just finished BH, awesome story.
i suppose you could also argue that Dandelo came closest, since...
:scared::panic: Please don't even joke about something like this! (I hope it is a joke, if it isn't I will just die right now!)[/QUOTE]
well, the fallon and leno part was a joke. me wishing...
*sigh*
im hoping that the whole thing gets scrapped because someone realizes that you either do 5-7 full length movies or you don't do it at all (and the latter is what i REALLY would like). the...
Being that Jake is one of my favorite characters, I too would have liked to see him reach the Tower.
However, I do believe King when he talks about these stories writing themselves. anyone who...
my take on this subject is that King laces something he calls "the touch" among many of his characters, particularly in The Dark Tower. It is usually a term used to describe psychic and/or mental...
and i mean, you could even pull all of that into it if you really wanted. 46 and 2, elightened consciousness, "super human" being... coincidental that a representation of the nexus of all existence...
yea, i have read that explanation before along with the Carl Jung theory too. and i agree that's a more likely explanation, but...
i like mine better :D
*SPOILERS THROUGH THE END OF DARK TOWER 3: WASTELANDS*
So my cousin and I made a "pilgrimage" to the actual Dark Tower in New York city. we took all kinds of pictures of the Turtle Bay area and...
