I really enjoyed Wolves of the Calla. But I feel like Song of Susannah was entirely pointless. That is definitely an entry where it felt like nothing happened. I'm not even sure if I remember a single plot point from it, actually.

That's the full author self-insertion novel.

I think I've posted this before but the fact that Elba appears to not wear a hat for the entire movie bothers me. I always picture Roland wearing a cowboy hat, and most of the book covers showed him with a hat.

Are there any passages in the actual books that talk about him wearing a hat?

I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually wear one since there is that passage about him having a huge chunk of his hair removed during the bit where they rescue jake from the house that tries to eat him.

I can't believe Stephen King would lie to us about this being a good adaptation.

Stephen King told everybody that the TV Show Under the Dome was good.

You know, the show everyone in TV IV called "Under the Dumb".

Actually bummed that we're never going to get the "go then; there are other worlds than these" sequence and subsequent storyline though. Why cobble together all these disparate elements but leave out one of SK's best written scenes.

Susannah loving an invisible demon to distract it while Roland and Eddie pull Jake out of a house that is trying to eat him is probably something they'll have a hard time putting on film.

Holy poo poo they really did try to cram elements from all of the books in one movie.

I mean, they're remaking The Mist of all things into a miniseries. They could've had thinnies and everything in the Dark Tower movies/mini-series along with it as part of that universe.

Dark tower seems like an inherently doomed property. Like say you recreate the first 3 scene for scene and everyone loves them. What do you do next? actually film the weird harry potter and doctor doom stuff that made up the second half of the story?

Reminder that Ready Player One is being made into a movie without a hint of irony.
