I view the upcoming "Dark tower" movies with both hope and skepticism. I always fear when one of my favorite franchises is adapted to a new format and this is especially true in the case of the "Dark Tower". I read the the gunslinger when i was 18 or 18 and didn't care too much for it. Years later my little brother became obsessed with the Dark tower and to be honest I just read "the Drawing of the three" to shut him up because he was harping me non-stop, and boy was he doing me a favor.
I'm the type of guy that is probably all too effected by the stories I love. My wife frequently jokes that I should send fathers day cards to Stan Lee because Marvel comics was responsible for instilling me with my morals and beliefs. Anyhow, to get back on topic The Dark Tower ruled my thoughts for a year and is still some thing I constantly find my self thinking of. The Dark tower is truly a masterpiece that is way beyond the restrictions of any genre. Today Stephen King tweeted this mind blowing bit of info.... I won't explain this, those in the know will have their head pop just like mine just did. Those who aren't have a whole hell of a lot of reading ahead of them before they will understand it but I can promise if you love stories it will be time well spent.
Without further ado...
For those of you that understand this, go get yourselves some cleaning products, you've got some brains to clean off your ceiling, computer and floor because your mind was just blown in a big way.
For the rest off you, Get your ass to a library or book store so can treat yourself to one of the best pieces of fiction ever!
