Perhaps you’d like to hear less over more books about a dark tower.
The dark tower collection has a inversely proportional quantity of books to the amount of tower on it
The only way I’m signing up is if Idris Elba is somehow involved.
That movie was so bad, despite Idris Elba
What movie? I don’t remember any dark tower movie released in 2017 with IMDB ID tt1648190. You’re imagining things.
You remember the face of your father.
Long days and pleasant nights.
Thankee sai.
Wait until you hear about 12 monkeys. That’s a lot of monkeys, right? Should be like 12 times better than King Kong.

The movie has slow pacing and odd structure, but it explores some interesting ideas. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but I think it’s was ok. Still not a classic you would watch several times.
My least favorite book of the three.
Between 12 and about 24, I read the entire quad every summer. Religiously. I always dreaded coming to The Two Towers; it felt like such a slog, and I don’t think jumping between parallel story lines was Tolkien’s forté. Return of the King got better as everyone (well, except the Ring Bearer) started gathering together again and there were fewer threads.
IMHO.
I’ve always found it really jarring when a book, tv series or a movie jumps around between several storylines. Pulling that off seems to be really hard.
It can be done, in novels at least, and there are some authors who not only do it well, but it’s just their style. Neal Asher is particularly good at this; I just think it wasn’t JRRT’s strength as writer.
I’ve watched it once. And my thought afterwards was, “hmm, interesting.”
We just watched the film Conclave a few nights ago (after the popes death, it was planned though) and I thought basically the same thing, “hmm, not exciting but interesting.” And I doubt I’ll watch that again, if I do it’ll be in a long long time.
Edit: the watching of Conclave was planned in advance, I was not insinuating that the popes death was planned…(Or?..no, but maybe it wa…no)
What did your elvish eyes read…?
Chapter 1
Aragorn sped on up the hill. Every now and again he bent to the ground. Hobbits go light, and their footprints are not easy even for a Ranger to read, but not far from the top a spring crossed the path, and in the wet earth he saw what he was seeking.
Suddenly a new voice could be heard. ‘Hi, I’m Grady and this is Practical Engineering’, Grady said.
