unlabelledView post →I am, regrettably, about to sit down and rewatch The Dark Tower film, one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever had at a movie theater. At least you’ll be able to hear my pain on a podcast eventually.
unlabelledView post →I like how so many of the quotes are commenting about The Dark Tower, and meanwhile the last panel is 100% proof Branson has watched the 80s Vampire Hunter D movie.
unlabelledView post →Frank Darabont’s film is perfect and cannot be improved upon, and furthermore, isn’t Flanagan busy making The Dark Tower series?
unlabelledView post →Watching the (91 minute!) film adaptation of The Dark Tower. As the author of Chaos Walking, I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for huge budget Hollywood adaptations that misfire on almost every level. No one’s ever trying to make a bad film; everyone’s working REALLY hard; you gotta feel for them.
unlabelledView post →We haven’t done that The Dark Tower but FYI for every Stephen King movie we do on @youaregood.bsky.social we also cover the book. (It’s tradition.)

unlabelledView post →My comfort rewatches are maxed up these days: Buffy, The Good Place, New Girl, PLL (plus comfort re-reads of The Dark Tower series and Wicked). But lemme tell you I’m also prepared to watch the dumbest fucking Christmas movies this year. Sexy Snowman? Check. Christmas stripper ChaMM? Check.
unlabelledView post →I saw The Dark Tower movie. I think the critics were wrong. That is a good film and I'd defend it to the death. The books would be extremely hard to adapt.
unlabelledView post →Regarding the Dark Tower movie: Why didn't thy just make a movie of The Gunslinger and leave it opening for follow up movies or TV series? Yes I am still made, no I haven't seen it I just read the plot on Wikipedia and got mad, I know, I know, I should get a life
unlabelledView post →The short story excels at building tension whereas the movie just spoils the big reveal at the beginning because they wanted to take a bleak horror story and turn it into a kinda scary movie with a happy ending. Next to the Dark Tower probably my least favorite King adaptation.
unlabelledView post →Drew Struzan made movie posters that were, simply put... Iconic. THE THING, INDIANA JONES, BTTF 1-3 But for me, his "poster" for a non-existent THE DARK TOWER movie, used in THE MIST, was that one that will always stay with me. Long days and pleasant nights to you, paintslinger. #RIPDrewStruzan
unlabelledView post →Thinking about The Monkey, and an indication of how viscerally I hated it is I'm pretty sure it's the first Stephen King film I've turned off. I've seen 96 of them. I sat through all 11 Children of the Corn films, The Mangler Reborn, The Dark Tower and the Bollywood remake of Misery. But not this.

unlabelledView post →Imagine having the quality of the tale of the Dark Tower, some amazing actors and making a 2 star movie - it's like punching yourself in the nuts
unlabelledView post →Look, don't ask me to explain my decisions. Now rewatching (yes, really) The Dark Tower. This is a bad adaptation of one of my favorite book series. I guess I just want to check and see if I still don't like it? Who knows. #Filmsky 📽️
unlabelledView post →Busy weekend at Kanzenshuu East Coast HQ. Been plugging away at Otakon panel slides and subbing video clips, got a monster of a great podcast episode mostly edited (likely out tomorrow?), but then I watched the Dark Tower movie and I gotta sit and stare into the abyss for a while.
unlabelledView post →Rassilon is bound within the Dark Tower! This special preview scene from 'The Timeless Doctors' movie revisits Gallifrey's Old Time and chronicles the great Time Lord uprising which overthrew the tyrannical reign of Rassilon. youtu.be/UFNXKKqUD9U
unlabelledView post →At this rate I will watch anything with Mike Flanagan’s name on it! I just read an article saying he is adapting The Dark Tower series too. As a long time Stephen King fan, I am hoping it will get a redemption from that horrible movie.
unlabelledView post →Every character in the film adaptation of The Dark Tower (2017).
unlabelledView post →I was gonna say The Dark Tower, to make up for the film tragedy whose one thing it got right was casting McConaughey as the Man in Black, and I mostly stand by that, but somebody else said the Culture, and that is a really, really good shout.
unlabelledView post →Reread Gerald’s Game for the first time in like 20 years and confirmed to myself that I like the movie better than the book (the book is fine) but also realized that the Dark Tower nod in the movie is NOT IN THE BOOK, Mike Flanagan threw it in there for fun, and that pleases me immensely
unlabelledView post →The Dark Tower. How the FUCK do you fuck a movie up THAT BAD!!
unlabelledView post →I rarely read King because I am a huge, scaredy cat when it comes to horror books, and he makes me look over my shoulder. But I love the Dark Tower books, which I view as some great writing about addiction. I haven't seen the movie on purpose.
unlabelledView post →I was shopping at a bookstore when a nearby shopper picked up a copy of ‘The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born’ and remarked, “Oh, The Dark Tower. I love that movie!” And I… I try to respect the tastes of others. But…
unlabelledView post →hell yeah Tubi went right into The Dark Tower, a movie so terrible i wanted to rewatch it but could not force myself to waste the hard drive space on
unlabelledView post →The Dark Tower. There is a film of the same name, but it has literally nothing to do with the masterpiece of literature that is the book series. A series would be how it should be done. Seriously, fuck that movie. I know Stephen King always gets screwed by film adaptations, but even Ender’s Game was a more accurate telling of the books. Not even the Ender’s Game books, I mean Ender’s Game was a better film adaptation of The Dark Tower books than The Dark Tower movie was. I was in seat 19, that…
unlabelledView post →Rewatching The Dark Tower movie again because I’m a sick fuck Ka, take the wheel!

unlabelledView post →My journey through the wild world of Stephen King adaptations continues at Nathan Rabin's Bad Ideas with 2017's The Dark Tower, a film that turned King's epic book into a skimpy pamphlet of a motion picture. nathanrabin.substack.com/p/the-2017-f...
unlabelledView post →Tonight’s film is the 2017 The Dark Tower. I restarted the book series a few days ago as well. Can’t wait for Mike Flanagans series.
unlabelledView post →Another example of having the same actors in @stephenking.bsky.social adaptations & probably one of my fave actors in Thomas Jane. He's in The Mist, 1922, and Dreamcatcher. In my mind he would make a perfect Roland Deschain for @mikeflanaganfilm.com adaptation of The Dark Tower. #movie #horrormovies
unlabelledView post →I bet you could make a decent movie from the Blaine the Mono bit of "The Dark Tower." Buncha people get trapped on a mean AI train. Riddles are involved. There are elusions to "The Wizard of OZ." Sure. I'm bored. I'll go see that.
unlabelledView post →Whoever thought that The Dark Tower movie was a good idea owes me some time back. Only 45 minutes, cause I turned it off halfway.

unlabelledView post →Hey that's cool Mike hey just quick question though um WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND FILM THE DARK TOWER ALREADY
unlabelledView post →Finally watched The Dark Tower. One of the worst ideas for a piece of media ever. Absolute shit tier film. Corny ass garbage. Almost no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Idris Elba looks sexy as fuck in his little cowboy outfit.
unlabelledView post →Oh and this movie. Eh. Could have been better. Patrick Wilson was the standout of the film and they didn’t really need a certain gimmick. Maybe attempting to emulate the Dark Tower in certain aspects? Who knows. 🤔
unlabelledView post →Watched the 2017 film 'The Dark Tower' last night. Think they might need to add the words "very, very, very loosely" to the "based on the novels by Stephen King" line in the credits 🤣 📚💙 #BookSky #FilmSky #FilmAdaptations
unlabelledView post →Still blaming Akiva Goldsman for the Dark Tower movie
unlabelledView post →So funny I just started rereading this yesterday! My ask to the universe: Make this movie multi part. It’s literally a 48 hour book, and will likely suck if it’s crammed into a two hour movie. Don’t give it the Dark Tower treatment.
unlabelledView post →I still hold hope for a 17 season adaptation of The Dark Tower. Shame he stopped after five books. And that no one ever put anything on film claiming to be an adaptation of it.
unlabelledView post →This is hard out making me want to see The Dark Tower made, imagine Wizard and Glass as a freaking movie!
unlabelledView post →85. The Dark Tower (Rewatch) This was on netflix and I was out sick today so I decided to rewatch this. As a fan of the books it's alright. The actors in it are great but it tried to do too much with too little time. The book series is fantastic and I still want to see more from this series. (cont)
unlabelledView post →The Dark Tower film sure was a thing I saw opening night and then promptly scrubbed from my memory. That film was so bad. Wow!

unlabelledView post →Just thinking about The Dark Tower movie again.
unlabelledView post →The Ghibli Earthsea reminded me of the film version of King's The Dark Tower. It feels like a hollow sketch of a larger world lacking the details that made the source compelling. I know very little about the Earthsea books, but this felt like an under explained flattening of an interesting world

unlabelledView post →Rage baiting myself by watching The Dark Tower movie
unlabelledView post →The Dark Tower easily which is wild because I saw that before I had read the books which unlocked new levels of hatred for that movie
unlabelledView post →What are your top 5 Stephen Kings? PET SEMETARY (book + film) THE DARK TOWER series (book) CARRIE (book) THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (film) THE MIST (film)
unlabelledView post →Love Idris Elba but this was unpleasant. Matthew McConaughey was bland and trying to fit the concept of The Dark Tower into an hour and a half action movie just wasn't right. Even the little King Easter eggs didn't help.
unlabelledView post →2 minutes and 49 seconds into the Dark Tower movie (including the time it took the title cards to plau) and I want blood. What the fuck. Did they even read the books?
unlabelledView post →The Dark Tower tv/movie adaptation is my dark tower deadline.com/2026/01/mike...
unlabelledView post →I like the Dark Tower ending. But also hilarious that the movie ending of The Mist is so much better than book ending. To the point that King agrees.
