Guys I saw a bird today. Do you think that means I'm going to turn into a bird?

Ok, I saw this mentioned in the Halloween thread, but had to bring it over here. I guess this is about a movie, but an adaptation of a book.
Jennifer Carpenter on the short list of people to play Susannah Dean? What the fuck? I guess this project won't happen anyway, but that just does not make any sense at all. HG and I were discussing who we think could play Roland, my number one would be Daniel Day Louis.

Ink ain't dry. The whole proposal Ron Howard had fell apart and there are currently no studios offering to back the project. If Javier Bardem did in fact sign anything, I'm sure it's entirely meaningless by now.
Meanwhile: 8th Dark Tower book, The Wind Through the Keyhole, to be published in 2012. Apparently it takes place between the events of Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla.

Yeah Bardem might have signed something before but the whole thing is done now. It would literally have to be optioned by another studio again, so really it has the same chance of being made as my unpublished novel (which doesn't exist).
But anyway, Jennifer Carpenter? WTF? A skinny white girl playing a handicapable black lady?
And re: DDL, he would be my choice for any role, male or female, in any movie ever, I think.

I'm late to the Stephen King conversation but this:
scared me more than all of the rest of his books combined. There's music that creeps me out just because I was listening to it when I was reading it. The kids stuck on the raft in the middle of the lake? The ship-wrecked surgeon slowly eating himself? The freaking mist? Uggghh.....still gives me shivers.
But seriously...those flowers are seriously beautiful and i will curb stomp you if fuck them up.
But really.
Don't fuck up my azaleas.

I don't know if this is true, but I feel like he must have had the end in mind when he started the series. And 30 years ago it might have been a little more controversial/unexpected than it is today, and I was a little upset when I first read it, but now I think it's pretty good.

*******DARK TOWER SPOILER ALERT*******
I truly had absolutely no idea what was going to be at the top of the tower. But I feel like it makes sense. Ka(ka) is a wheel. And he was given a chance for redemption in the end because you know he had the horn and that the story had at least changed that much this time. As for Susannah and Eddie and Jake, they at least got to meet each other in another world and have a fair shake at their respective relationships that is not predicated by the quest for the dark tower. I miss Oy. I just hope he is with Jake at the clearing at the end of the path. He knew there are other worlds than these and he chose to stay and help Roland. He wanted his Jake, and he would only find him in the clearing.
