so sure, i read and loved the dark tower books, as well as almost everything else Stephen King has written, but i do not expect anybody to make a movie which translates the books directly to the screen. King has been writing a long time and has a good idea how to fully utilize the novel format, which i expect to make it even harder to make a film which is "true" to the books. so i am not surprised that the filmmakers went a different direction with the assignment, as it were.
still.
what the fuck was that? it was like some kind of crazy mishmash of things that appeared across like eight different Stephen King novels. and Jake has the shine now? seriously. i would have been a lot happier if they had just movieified wolves of the calla or wizard and glass.
the dark tower gets two souls in the man in black's pocket. one of the souls was because i wanted to like it more than it actually deserved.
