Here is the new thread.

The band was ok for a night of drinking, pictures and goofing!!!

i just started Black House the other day. Was very pleased to read "I saw the eye, the crimson eye, the eye of the King" 50 pages into it...

Holy shit..........forgot that......

Damn we are Stephen King knowledge junkies!!!

that's what i loved most about Insomnia. I just picked it up to read something and it turned out to be one of his most Tower realated novels. I was smiling for like a week...

It was until he threw the whole Salem's Lot twist in......

we should start a power metal band..."Of the Eld"

no, call it Ka-Tet

Did you hear that they are considering The Tower as a movie...

Who the fuck could they ever get to play Roland?
It would have to be a real good no name....

Nightmares and Dreamscapes tv series on TNT. starts some time in July

http://www.tnt.tv/title/?oid=612966

Did you see Kingdom Hospital when it was out? That was some seriously fucked up shit.......he even refernces his accident.....you can catch the whole thing on DVD now....

yeah, i've heard rumors. Clint Eastwood may be too old now, but he might still be good for #7. they'd have to have a few of em, and one of them better be me!

hahaha...............what nasty bitch would be Susannah/Detta/Odetta/Mia?

i've been meaning to get the KH dvd's. i just wanna see it from start to finish. not in random pieces.

they're also putting out a 6 issue Dark Tower comic book in feb 2007. then the collection in oct 07

Yeah, I had heard about the comic books..........that will be sweet.

You have to do KH in a row or you'll get all fucked up......there is 4 discs I believe....

Did you know the movie Stand by Me (if you ever saw it) was a Stephen King short story called The Body?

i'm horrible with celebrity's...i'd rather it be good nobody's than Halle Berry as all 4

with ya all the way there.........

ram_girl said:

Yes.

absolutely love both the story and the movie.
"awww no, that's a goocher. this is bad, guys..."
i must now assume yer a fan of Rita Hayworthe and the Shawshank redemption. i felt that was one of the best book to movie translations i've ever seen.

Shawshank Redemption was/is one of my favorites movies......and it was one of the best, although Green Mile does come close.

When the remade The Shining and Salem's Lot, I was offended. How can you screw with classics. You cannot replace Jack Nicholson (all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy) with anyone!!!!

i never bothered to see the remakes.
if anything, they should remake the mediocre/bad movies like It and Tommyknockers

and that god awful, loosely based Lawnmower man! where the hell was the fat man eating the grass? ugh..
on a side note, i love what a coked out Stephen King can write.

ok, all this talk, i must go read now.
Long days and pleasant nights...

i am like 100 pages from the end of The Stand. i just finished "Wizard and Glass" which was fucking phenomenal. i would love to see a movie done in the vein of LOTR. i just dont want to see it get fucked up in a movie. like "IT".

Yeti said:

Its a good thing you are reading The Stand because of the reference to it (Captain Trips) in Wizards and Glass. If you are going to continue the Gunslinger Series make sure to get Salem's Lot in before Wolves of the Calla.

I agree with the movie thing. It would have to be of epic proportion....not like the made for TV bullshit!!!!

Man.....that was a great series. I read most of that through high school. A movie would be awesome. In parts though.....with Blaine the Monorail being the last.

hoser said:

You've probaly read through Wizards and Glass (guessing from Blaine). He wrote 3 more in the last year and a half or so. Now there is book 5 Wolves of the Calla, book 6 Song of Susannah and the last one The Dark Tower.........

Enough about all this "who-would-play-Roland" bullshit... Eastwood would play the part. The real question is, who would play the man in black?

Thats a tough one...I have no fucking idea!

You know, as crazy as it sounds, James Woods migh be a good "ageless stranger," he could flee across the desert as Eastwood follows.

Come to think of it...........he just may............good call!!!
