Dark Tower release date

THis comic book site is reporting that the Dark Tower movie, directed by Ron Howard, will be released on Friday, May 17, 2013.

Yay.

I think.

Slee

Those damn Mayans had better be wrong!!

Ron Howard? Ugh.

Ron Howard? Seriously?

I have a vision of Roland walking down a dusty desert path with Jake (who is carrying some dried fish on a string looped over his shoulder), and the Andy Griffith Theme Song plays in the background…

Ok, this is about the Stephen King series, right? If it is, can someone please tell me that the books get better? I’m like 20 or 30 pages into the first one and it’s just draggin.

Atrael: IMO, the first book is kinda slow (I still liked it a lot). The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th books are all very good (especially the 2nd). Then the whole series takes a nosedive in quality for the last three books.

Just push through. The second book is good enough to stand on its own, but having the first one in your head won’t hurt.

Thanks all. I’m almost done with the first one. I’ll give the next ones a chance and see how they go.
