>Uhh, you approved that shitty Dark Tower movie, your opinions are now invalid
>LOL crimson king made me do it with jethro tull at my radio station
to be fair shining was a bit more about the history of the hotel via diary and news entries that draw torrance in- kubrick takes the world and obscures it while staying within the realm of the novel
of course, the split of the overlooks fate is, of course, another thing Cinemaphile would like to tell you.
anyway.
ask Cinemaphile to listen to the guest deejays from king especially around 2001 2002
and
you have forgotten the face of your father.
First post, best post
>I'll have the guy from Wings star in a low budget network TV remake. Checkmate, Directionlets
Is that the one where there's a guy, and he's like-he's a pilot or something?
>the greatest director of all time
I wouldn't be able to respond because I'd be dying of laughter after that line.
the irony of stephen king admitting kubrick is a kinomaster is quite funny, yes
>JUST CALL ME ANGEL OF THE MORNING
Homeless browns are now pouring into your sheltered white state, soon Maine will become a shithole like New York or California and your kids will have to deal with it. And it's all thanks to you and other boomers like you.

Well, if he didn't like Kubrick's version why doesn't he try himself!
He did… it did not go well.
Just this picture. Making me the winner forever. Here’s the hero from your magnum opus dummy. We’ll wait til you’re dead to actually make a good movie with a white Roland.
Idiris Elba is the absolute last thing that's wrong with that shitshow of a movie.
This, he wasn't even playing Roland, it's just some completely different other character.
>Jake has to fricking CONVINCE him to quest for the tower
Just all wrong, everything. And this cuck complaining about Kubrick actually said this director "remembered his father's face".
its because he is going round the tower after the novel series. He is clearly carrying the horn of eld
That does not explain Roland having this completely different history where Walter tells his father to stop breathing and he's black, the Tower loop starts with him in the desert, every time
timey wimey shit bruh stop being such a pussy
You’re wrong, he’s the very first of a long list of things wrong with that movie. He’s the giant neon lit billboard at the beginning of the movie saying “THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF MOVIES AND WE PUT A Black AS THE MAIN CHARACTER BECAUSE FRICK YOU THATS WHY!!!!”. He’s the linchpin of the shit sandwich. He’s the cornerstone of the leaning tower of diarrhea. He’s the reason I hate black people now. That one role. He set race relations back 100 years and I now wish we had picked our own cotton. Frick them both.
They were never going to do Detta Walker no matter what, not in any universe, Idris could have potentially been just fine, but it's not even trying to be like the books in the slightest.
My favorite part is still McCunneyhey talking about his guns being made from Excalibur like he's reading off of a wiki page.
> Idris could have potentially been just fine
No, Roland is a fricking cowboy and a knight, two things that don’t apply to black men. I’m sick to death of people saying “welllll Idris could have done a good job”. No he couldn’t. He’s black. Roland Deschain is fricking white. That’s all there is to it. The movie was a bomb the instant they casted a schwoogie in the lead role. It could have been Will Smith mixed with Denzel Washington mixed with Sidney Poitatatay and it would have sucked equally as bad.
You seem passionate about the books and I respect that, are they worth reading? Give me a rec.
I haven't seen the movie for that matter
You can’t hate something without loving it first. The way King finished the Dark Tower series ruined his entire body of work for me. I’m re-reading The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. Try that.
>The way King finished the Dark Tower series ruined his entire body of work for me.
I also feel this way, in the sense that I haven't re-read anything of his or anything new since, but it was mainly the shitty ass note about how if you didn't like his endings you're everything wrong with fiction and don't come to his house or some shit he felt it necessary to stick in before Roland goes into the tower that did it, was too much on top of all the shitty Navel of Gan excuses he wrote into that novel for all his shitty decisions.
Before he was even cast they had decided to make one 90 minute movie out of an eight book series with each book weighing in over 700 pages. It never had a chance.
Something something supposed to lead into a streaming series and other movies, which is hilarious since the fricking RAN through the entire main storyline through to like book 7 in one movie and killed Walter, leaving it nowhere to go anyway.
Least nuanced tv take ever, people give King no credit for the mountains of quality stuff he put out in his career
Yeah The Shining is a great movie but people have sucked its dick hard enough
>As EW reports, The Dark Tower TV series will be adapting "Wizard and Glass," King's fourth novel in the series that acts as more of a prequel story than anything else.
>So let's start out by saying that the TV series is most definitely happening. Production company MRC doesn't have a distributor yet, but they've gone ahead and committed to making a run of 10 to 13 episodes, depending on how scripts turn out. The plan is for the production to kick off next year for an airdate in 2018, likely timed to the cable/streaming release of The Dark Tower movie. Look for this series to appear on either a cable channel or streaming provider (MRC producers Netflix's House of Cards, so there's an established relationship there), since the story of "Wizard and Glass" goes to some dark, violent, and mature places.

I, for one, can't wait. What year is it btw?
For comparison, there's another now forgotten writer named Ira Levine who wrote several bestsellers including Rosemary's Baby, Stepford Wives and Boys From Brazil. All got movie adaptations, one is a timeless horror masterpiece classic while two are forgotten shlock. Any guesses why?
Inflation? Republican led congress? Wildfires? The Judean Peoples Front?
All three of those movies are widely remembered even if everyone agrees that Rosemary's Baby is the best of them.
Rosemary's baby is pretty shit if we are being honest.
Everything past book 4 sucked so hard that not following the actual book series itself wasn't an inherently bad decision, fricking nobody wanted an accurate book 7 adaptation
What you’re not saying that robots in Sr Doom outfits and sneetches that are bombs and razor blade dinner plate weapons are bad ideas are you? I mean Stephen King is meant to be talented. Surely he would put himself as a character in his own book would he?
I still had hope at the end of book 6 when it looked like he was actually going to kill his own self insert off but nope, Jake gotta die to make his fans pissed off at the van guy or something
Also Roland dancing the fricking commala
And that sucks because that All is Green and Gold chapter is some of Kings best writing followed directly by some of his worst.
Frick you, Father Callahan's story is kino.
Father Callahans story ended in Salems Lot. Not some retconned MCU interconnected world bullshit where he’s eaten by vampire cannibal furries .
Yes, but then there's the 200 pages of Roland and Susannah making their own leather clothes from scratch before running into Pennywise for some reason
And the Crimson King turning out to be a demented santa stuck on a tower balcony literally screaming, and I quote, "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Don’t forget the kid with the magic eraser. Is Roland’s final battle an epic gun fight or maybe a duel with his father’s resurrected ghost? Nah frick it it’s clay shooting while the moron from Insomnia uses his eraser to (ready) erase the bad guy. Cool right?
>the kid with the magic eraser.
I love that King spends the whole Talisman sequel setting Jack Sawyer up to be another gunslinger Roland has to train, and then Jack never gets mentioned in anything again, doesn't show in the series, here's this totally different literal who character not even from IT that Pennywise has captive for some reason
Just such a fricking mess
I just reread Wizard and Glass and leave it at that. The 3 on 3 Mexican standoff on the bar will never not be fricking kino. “No more talking, talkings done”. Fricking baller.
I believe Ron Howard own's the filming rights to it. Frank Darabont used to.
It should wait at least a decade until the culture war shit dies down a bit, I don’t want Alain to be played by Black Chyna or something.
>The 3 on 3 Mexican standoff on the bar will never not be fricking kino. “No more talking, talkings done”.
For me the most unfortunate kino scene that will probably never get adapted is Roland running backwards shooting every man woman and child in Tull to death, burning his fingers reloading
it is indeed. the point where i was hooked to the series
If he’s black and they’re all white you could definitely make that scene today and it would be called stunning and brave. The big fat b***h at the end could be played by Mel Gibson in a fat suit.
>Roland running backwards shooting every man woman and child in Tull to death, burning his fingers reloading
>He realized he was screaming. He had been screaming all along.
kinooooooo
For me it's the town moron having to fingerbang the old witch.
Tommy Knockers> IT> Langoliers> The Stand> Golden Years
as far as 90s stephen king made for tv miniseries go
>Tommy Knockers
That’s a bold choice. I don’t agree with you but I admire your courage.
I like to live dangerously
How many of them have a black character who speaks like 'oh lawdy lawdy mistah' and has magical powers?
Stephen King definitely writes black people like he’s never met one. Rural Maine means he was probably in his 30s before he ever met one in real life.
did stephen king invent the Magic Black ?
I’ll answer that question with a question; Has Stephen King EVER had a black antagonist in any of his writings?
Detta was a pretty serious antagonist (and a collection of stereotypes because she had no idea what an actual Black person was) but she gets redeemed so not sure if she counts
Detta was just a personality of Odetta/Susannah, she’s not her own character, furthermore she never actually DOES anything evil or horrible to our heroes. Sure she threatens and yells but that’s it. She has the opportunity to cut Roland’s throat but doesn’t. Not an antagonist.
>Not an antagonist.
She's one in the sense that she's opposing and a pain in the ass, but there's too many other disqualifiers to it for her to be a "real" antagonist, Mort is the novel's actual antagonist
NTA but the first 4 are some of his best books overall, and the last 3 are some of his absolute worst
It's a unique series however, the good books, there's nothing really like them, even among his own other shit
>Mort is the novel's actual antagonist
Mort means 'death' in French.
Thanks, pic just made me throw up in my mouth a little
Surely did, Doc.
You're right, he didn't capture your vision. He made something good instead.

>WHITE CHRISTIANS ARE EVIL
>BlackS ARE MAGICAL
>PRE-TEEN GANGBANGS ARE GOOD
>SELF-INSERTING INTO COUNTLESS SHITTY CHARACTERS IS GOOD
Why is he like this?
>In the TCM documentary "A Night At The Movies: The Horrors of Stephen King," King mentioned a phone call he had with Kubrick regarding ghost stories and the possibilities of life after death. Kubrick told King that there's a fundamental sense of optimism with ghost stories, because they imply an existence after death. King responded asking if he found hell to be optimistic, and Kubrick stated that he doesn't believe in hell. Right away, this is the basis for the disconnect between King and Kubrick's visions of horror. King's view of good and evil is rooted in Biblical influences, while Kubrick was a known pessimist. These differing views on what makes something good or evil is a direct influence on their differing beliefs regarding Jack Torrance.
this kino was basically about these two autists arguing with each other
King is a fricking midwit, anyone that hopes for an afterlife is. I can’t imagine anything worse than conscious thought for eternity whether it’s in heaven or hell. It’s still torture. There’s something comforting about knowing I don’t have to think anymore after I die.
>I can’t imagine anything worse than conscious thought for eternity whether it’s in heaven or hell. It’s still torture.
Only if you go to hell. In heaven you will be perfected.
Sour grapes
>a-a-actually I'm glad I'm going to d-die
Lol Detta is also created by a white guy dropping a brick on a little girl's head to jerk off to it, so no, she doesn't actually count
Book 2 is arguably his single best quality book, it's also arguably his most creative
