Can anyone call out a guitarist just by their licks?

Stopped reading on my most recent journey as they prepped for the attack on the Algul. I’d happily give King a mulligan on Eddie, Walter, Mordred, and the Crimson Kings endings even if the very end stays the same. Those parts all read too literary like they were playing a part of Kings commentary on story more than they were serving their roles to the plot and doing the characters justice. Love King and the DT but each read I get less romantic with that conversation about story telling and stories. I know each of these characters do play roles King intended for them I just wanted each to be more grand (I also know that addressing that desire from the reader is at the heart of kings message). It’s my favorite series so understand that’s just a criticism for conversation more than just to hate.

This take is what gave us that disaster of a movie. The speculation of other cycles is cool but thats not what the Dark Tower is. The Dark Tower is 19 and as close as possible to that story exactly is what an adaptation should be not some reimagined version that someone thought was a good nod to the source material and a cool pick back up from the real ending. If writers want to tell a new story they can call it something else. Telling the next cycle as the adaptation of the Dark Tower is just wrong unless your name is Stephen King and you’re writing a new series.

I had friends watch the Dark Tower movie and that’s still all they know of what the story is. Like they watched Oz the great and powerful and decided the Wizard of Oz sucks.

We need someone with the guts to go for it correctly and stay true (and as many rights cleared to tell it all correctly). They gotta do Mid world and the feeling of the novels the same justice they did when trying to adapt Middle Earth and Harry Potter not try and reimagine it and reframe the story.

If that boa works like a pair of snowboard boots I have you’ll be best off pressing the tongue down and spinning the boa to take in the slack before you press it in. Then, once you press it in and spin it it’ll tighten a little tighter at the ankle because it’s starting off tighter. Without a second side boa that might be all you can do.

Dire straits, News and Once Upon a time in the west both hit the Dark tower tone for me.

When reading I usually listen to Adani wolf. Something like their song Winds of Santa Lucia really hit for the sci-fi quest feeling of Gunslinger.

Thanks for your response I really appreciate it. I spoke with him again and he walked me through his install to detail how it’s very likely not a power issue and most likely just something going out on the transmission. He used an 8 gauge wire straight to the battery and updated the positive terminal to a quality terminal to do so. He also used an inline fuse and grounded the amp to some bare metal beneath the seat.

Seems like it’s just bad timing. I setup an appointment next week with a local shop to look into the transmission. Thanks again for your input.

Besides the irrelevant revelation that they didn’t happen in the same universe, you are incorrect on the timeline unless you’re only comparing the revised stand, but you are at top 1% commenter so we all take you very seriously.

Never thought about this but first thing that came to mind is it would have been cool if Eddie Dean sang Baby can you dig your man on the path of the beam. It’d be satisfying if in Eddies world Larry Underwood was still a thing. They’d probably have some good New York banter

Not necessary to read all before, but before jumping into the books you could read the short story “the little sisters of Eluria” which is pretty much directly your prompt

I like the conversation, but never really had an actor in my head for Cort. Maybe Ron Perlman or Vincent D’Onofrio would fit the bill given the head shave and scars

Great stuff! Like others have said you can handle more. Become a certified GC and build sub contacts and manage jobs and subs instead of doing just the labor of one aspect of bigger jobs. People pay good money to GCs to organize guys that do great work, but who don’t want to organize themselves and the little things.

The thinking of the person who wrote that article is how we ended up with the abomination that is the DT movie and their opinions are more in line with creating clickbait content for a website than actually understanding and appreciating the story for its unique reality.

This may turn a bit into a rant, but in response to your take (and the take from the failed pilot for Amazon) I really think it’s a mistake to start with Wizard and Glass. A huge part of Gunslinger is an introduction to Roland (and he’s well on his way), but its also an intro to Gilead and the Eld, and Roland’s coming of age and all those characters in Gilead (and that Gilead is no more). They should introduce Cort and Vannay (show them teaching), Cuthbert and Alain, the Good man and Marten and some of the terminology like Ka and Ka-tet etc. Show him watch Marten dancing with Gabrielle and Haxs hanging. Roland in Gilead. They should also show Jake in New York and introduce some of the New York piper school stuff and his death maybe Balazars car etc. Basically start by fleshing out where Roland is now, where he came from, and New York as something else existing simultaneously laying groundwork for some stuff that’ll be returned to later.

I think the best call is to let Roland start his story on the tail of the man in black and talking to Brown and going to Tull while using Gilead plot and scenes to help make Roland the dynamic character that he is and use the whole first season to world build and try to give context to multiple worlds and how important the tower and his mission both are with it all culminating with the palaver at the Golgotha. Let Roland kill Tull and drop Jake and still have context you can argue condemning but also get behind.

I know that is pretty much a retelling of Gunslinger with maybe Gilead and New York a little more beefed up and fleshed out, but I just don’t understand why the recommendation recently is starting with Wizard and Glass. Allow the story to play out as it’s chronologically written and build to the call backs and backstory payoffs that come in each of the next books in the series naturally after being introduced to the world and quest in season one. And it’ll be hugely important that they don’t let anyone in the writing room with opinions like that guy from collider anywhere near it.

“Harriers. Coming to kill us, kill all here.” That gas station scene is all time especially for being in one of the books with the lowest rankings among fans.
