The MSJ posted:Modern IT should just forget about the clowns. Kid should look into the drain hole and there's an old white man in a suit saying "Kid, do you hate gays? What about Muslims? Why don't you join me in the sewers and we can get rid of all the gays and Muslims? I'll pay you." It's terrific down here, very yuge. You'll love it.

Yeah, Denis Villeneuve would be amazing but it's super rad to see Peele become an A-list director in the space of like 18 months.

Nah, Jojo requires a certain full immersion camp that only the man who directed Batman Forever and wrote the screenplay for The Wiz can reach, even Luhrmann would flinch in the face of JJBA.

The Dark Tower footage sounds as bad as IT looks good: https://io9.gizmodo.com/we-have-seen-the-first-footage-from-the-dark-tower-1793703645 quote:There is a showdown between Roland and the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey) in a wooded area. Roland shoots at him as the Man in Black walks away, but the Man in Black catches Roland’s bullet behind his back and says, “The Tower will fall, Roland.” I wanted "The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." Sounds like we might be getting this instead:

I've only made it to midway through book 4 but there's been: (Spoilers in case anyone cares) -Lobster men that crippled one of Roland's hands and nearly killed him -Three free standing doors on a beach that each open to New York in different years where Roland observes three different people ultimately bringing two of the three into his world -One of those people is a black woman with DID who bounces between prim and proper and violently racist and horrible until the reconcile and fuse into one mind. Also she's in a wheelchair -A cyborg bear infected with various diseases that's gone batshit insane -Blane the Mono a monorail with an AI that's gone suicidal and gets stopped by riddles straight out of the Bilbo Baggins book of Bullshit Riddles

I can't really say if it's dumb or not based on someone's written description of what appear to be every action scene spliced together. That said, this is definitely one of those movies I'm going to hold off on seeing until I get a sense of the word of mouth around it.

Is the fourth book Wizard and Glass? That's the only one I've actually read part of, but it was enjoyable. They fought a robot train and Captain Kirked it.
