muscles like this? posted:More Dark Tower adaptation news, they've cast Jake, mostly unknown child actor Tom Taylor and Aaron Paul has said/joked that he was cast. Which most likely means Eddie. I think Aaron Paul was always most people's choice for Eddie, so that's good news. Please let this movie be good.

I'm about 50 pages into Misery and I'm loving it already. I've never seen the movie either so I'm looking forward to watching it after my read.

The Stand is my favorite King book and you need to read it if you like any of his work. I read the uncut monstrosity and loved every page of it.

Blastedhellscape posted:I’m probably in the minority, but Roland’s magical bullet-juggling gun-fu looked basically the way that I imagined it when I read The Gunslinger. And I'm disappointed that, although there were some shots of deserts, there didn't seem to be an apotheosis of all deserts anywhere in that trailer. It looked really corny to me. I always just imagined him having incredibly fast hands, not literally throwing clips into the air, and swinging his guns around to catch them.

Yeaaa I'm gonna pass until this is on Netflix or something. I feel like having read the books will make the movie viewing experience even worse than someone who knows nothing about it.

polishthunder84 posted:Just finished the dark tower series. Wow, lot to unpack. It's been a long time since I've read it, but I believe it was implying he has to continue to do his quest in an infinite loop until he gets it right (AKA not abandoning those close to him). Once he does that he can finish his quest once and for all. I'm sure someone can explain better than me though.

So I have read The Dark Tower series in full, The Stand, Misery, Under the Dome, The Long Walk, The Eyes of the Dragon, & Just After Sunset. I've seen The Shining, IT, & 11-22-63, so I'm not sure I want to read one of those next. Does anyone have a recommendation of King's remaining books for me to read next?

WattsvilleBlues posted:I'd recommend It and The Shining personally, beacuse the books are tremendous. It's definitely worth reading It and The Shining, even after seeing the movie first and having a general idea how it all plays out? I definitely will if that's the case. WattsvilleBlues posted:What are you in the mood for? Honestly, Stephen King building up a small town and then destroying it. Ornamented Death posted:His earlier short story collections (Night Shift, Skeleton Crew) and 'Salem's Lot. I'll look into them, thanks!

I thought the new IT was great, it's just really impossible to do a giant novel justice in one movie. Hopefully the second one is just as good.
