Mmm, soft serve Ian McShane.

It's been a while since I've seen this, but "they were right to hate black people" wasn't what I read into the ending. To me it was more like, it's great that you found enlightenment, but it doesn't make the world stop being shitty. Life will never stop trying to yank you back into the cycle of violence, so you can…

Talking turtles, huh? Wacky!

All he gave me was a stupid slide projector!

Agreed, Macs are far superior!

She's had an odd career where she's been the sole bright spot in otherwise forgettable movies.

I forgot about the excruciating wait between 3 and 4 — it ended in a goddamn cliffhanger! And frankly the resolution was a real letdown imo.

Henry's parents should be grateful that he's still interested in physical activity. I lost all interest in moving any part of my body other than my thumbs once I got an Atari!

Apparently he went to the same school as Dr. Cliff Huxtable.

As someone who has read the books multiple times, I kinda dig it. At least this way I can rationalize my disappointment over things being altered from the source material! I also find it intriguing that we're apparently being promised a definitive ending, that will NOT be the ending of the original series. A very…

Yeah, it kind of felt like the leap between the original version of The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three, where King had fleshed out the language and culture of Midworld, but then had to go back and revise the first book to make it more consistent with the others.

Good point!

Interesting! I read them as they were published, so I had to endure that loooooooong wait between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla. I imagine it did affect how I read the later books, because yeah, I had kind of lived with these characters for a couple of decades by that point, so for me they felt weird and…

Dod-a-cock?

I kind of equally hate and love how deliberately anticlimactic the ending is. You're expecting this epic final conflict, with the Crimson King and Flagg, and instead everything just sort of winds down.

I think he probably would not be aware of his past lives, since in the books Roland has apparently already repeated his quest many times and doesn't seem to remember any of it.

Actually, I agree, I found that part of the story poignant and really interesting. It's pretty obvious that King was doing through some dark stuff during the period when he was writing those last three books, and as uncomfortable as it is to read, I thought it was moving and compelling how he laid all of his…
