They probably get caught up in the 'ok, so how exactly am I going to do this gross monster thing' thing and don't even think about, y'know, telling the actors to do good acting and stuff. <br /><br />Alley, I feel like you've been promising to read The Dark Tower for years. And I love you and I believe you but also, I mean, get on with it! (I've been talking these books up for so long that they aren't going to be any good and you're going to be mad at me, aren't you?)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-34781249749267440382016-03-06T19:25:28.765+00:002016-03-06T19:25:28.765+00:00OMG let's bond over that indeed.

Ahahaha, I know that Dark Tower feeling well- in fact I think I tried to read the first one a couple of times and was very 'eh' about it but then finally got into a rhythm and read all 7 in a month (unemployment, bro). Just think of the beautiful Idris images you'll be able to have when you're reading them!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-85749889898176370052016-03-06T19:23:49.436+00:002016-03-06T19:23:49.436+00:00Well that is a DELIGHTFUL picture for you to have ...Well that is a DELIGHTFUL picture for you to have had, I'm so glad!

Cos obviously the books are great and there are great King movies, so wtf, directors??<br /><br />Also Idris Elba, YES PLEASE. And now when (IT WILL HAPPEN) I read the Dark Tower series, I will get to picture him as Roland and yes, that'll doRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-89823492007361614142016-03-02T20:31:15.978+00:002016-03-02T20:31:15.978+00:00WAIT!

What this does mean, though, is that I now have to get a wriggle on and get back into the Dark Tower books. I read the first one and then maybe haven't quite got round to picking up the second one yet :| Lit Addicted Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307643382274474774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-26561128180170350402016-03-02T18:50:06.204+00:002016-03-02T18:50:06.204+00:00I'd heard the Idris Elba rumours before I star...I'd heard the Idris Elba rumours before I started reading the Dark Tower books at the end of last year, and so I've kind of had his picture in my head through my reading (I've only read the first two so far.) So YES I'm VERY pleased that it is official now. Katie Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844778170761632779noreply@blogger.com
