    I only read the first three or four books, but the movie didn’t include a single thing I remember from thee early books that I liked. No crab taking fingers, no giant robot bear, no talking train, or anything else. It seemed to me like they had some other script and slapped a Dark Tower veneer on it.

      I realized there was trouble when the producers were being interviewed and stated they had a hard time finding an entry point to the universe and I was like “Bitch, FIRST LINE - ‘The man in black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed.’”

        It’s always a treat realizing that you like a piece of fiction much more than the director/producer making an adaptation of it. I’m glad I didn’t bother with that film.
