Great
42 comments of people that haven't seen the movie being dicks just because it's the internet. Nice work, guys.

I would just like to brag
That, for some reason, my Amazon pre-order showed up an hour ago.

I'll bet
they all learn some pretty important lessons about life, love, and family before this over thanks to that wacky puppet.

On a secondary tack, my biggest problem with the ending was the anti-climax of the battle with the Crimson King. It wasn't bad enough that King Lucas'd out the epic reference to "The Beast" (that even the Man in Black was afraid to speak of) in the first book. No, he had to have the Crimson fucking King throwing…

KODIAK JERRYZUCKER has won the thread for the day.

what motivates people to be complete dicks to total strangers on the internet? that was a legitimate question.

ok, am i insane
or did this game used to have sarah palin getting elected president as part of its explanation for why the country gets its ass kicked? i SWEAR that's what i saw at e3 last year, but now i can't find any mention of it anywhere. did sammy hagar's aliens "download" that into my brain?

The real question is
when are they gonna get to the fireworks factory!?!?!

does the failure of this movie
mean we'll never get a sandman slim movie?

inception is NOT noncommercial
without commenting on the quality of the film, can we at least stop insisting that the success of inception was a surprise? an action movie with a "gee-whiz neat-o!" premise, directed by a blockbuster director, a full-on a-list cast, and a shit-ton of guns and explosions? on what…

Again?
"It's a critique of exploitation that—ironically, and perhaps inevitably—gratifies its audience's bloodlust and opens up Spanish cinema to the Hollywood commercialization it explicitly decries."

jesus CHRIST. i was under the impression no footage of the botched american remake had ever surfaced. if it's all right with everyone, i'm going to pretend i'm still under that impression.

i always thought it was incredibly telling that in the book, adult-bill is explicitly described as cue-ball bald. so, when it comes time to cast, who do they get? some dude with hair so long it's in a ponytail.

the casting was atrocious and so was the writing. i literally quit watching it when the guy with mel gibson hair playing flagg showed up to the prison to collect lloyd and said, "pleased to meet you, lloyd. hope you guess my name."

there are two bigger elephants in the room: his lack of bombadier blue eyes and being neither long, tall, nor ugly.

totally seconded on making sure you get the old versions. i talked my ex-gf into reading the series after, unbeknownst to me, king had lucas'd the first three. she got the gunslinger and couldn't figure out why i thought it was so great. i read some of it and it was just awful.

gina torres would actually be pretty great…

the books do describe him that way, but remember that the other members of the ka'tet peg him around 40 and are shocked to learn just how old he really is. time moves differently in roland's world. also, every illustration in every book in the series has him earlier enough in the aging process to still have mostly…

knockaround guys
one of those movies i don't actually like and yet found myself buying a dvd copy and watching it somewhat regularly. not coincidentally, noonan's calmly bad-ass sheriff is one of the reasons.

good article, but wrong feature
this really should be in 'films that time forgot'.
