Why is this being adapted in the first place? For one, it's terrible, also, it sucks really bad, and thirdly, it's just Stephen King masturbating across an entire series of books.

No, it didn't become Stephen King masturbating after his car accident. It was always that.

More like their community as a whole refuses to grow up and take responsibility for themselves, leading to a generation of fatherless children, crack babies, drug fueled societies, poor role models, and so on. Blacks were making headways in the 1900s but they regressed as a whole. Don't just put it down to "they're poor". Single mothers are poor and make up a large percentage of lowest income earners, don't see a bunch of moms with baby strollers commit crimes every day.

It's not even that large of a sector.
Liquor stores aren't typically robbed by black grannies or black little girls.
It's almost exclusively black males aged between 15 and 55.

So about 6% of the population is responsible for the majority of crimes committed.

There are currently more White Americans below the poverty-line than there are Black Americans.

Anon, every other oppressed group in the western world has been able to successfully integrate, meanwhile after the massive amounts of resources poured into the black community, they not only stagnate, but get worse. Why is this anon?

Even if they are close, in terms of representation as part of the overall population blacks commit crime at a rate that is frankly as shocking as it is terrifying

Put your stats back up your ass. That's obviously where you pulled them out of.

The movie is going to suck regardless of who plays Roland be them black, white, or whatever. We all knew it. Don't deny it. Not only will they change the character's races, they'll change entire plotlines as well as character motivations. Might even change the names of certain characters. It's a Stephen King adaptation, so changing key details is normal. Personally, I hope something happens and the movie gets stuck in development hell...again.

King is uber progressive now (compared to being pretty blatantly racist in his earlier books). When asked about the casting decision, King basically said everything he was supposed to. I don't know if he's exactly thrilled though since, as you said, this IS his magnum opus.

Then again, King never really gives two shits about film adaptations unless his nigga, Frank Darabont is directing.

Why would changing a Stephen King novel make it suck? That's the only way it could be good.

>Hey anon, the living relatives of the former Russian serf class, freed from slavery after blacks, and the living relatives of the Japanese untouchable class, show no major statistical intelligence or crime differences in relation to the population made of of relatives of those not in these oppressed classes.

Firstly serfdom is not slavery. Russia freed serfs and not slaves. As for the untouchables, there are still many that live in ghettos in Japan where they are discriminated against so actually they aren't as different from blacks as you might think.


>Please explain then why even wealthy negroes score lower on SATs on average than the lowest income whites.

The occupations of high income blacks tend to be in entertainment and sports so their children aren't given the same opportunities children of high income scientists and engineers are on average. These differences can surely be explained in terms of circumstance rather then any genetic difference between blacks and whites.
>>
>>64983335
Because people love pretending to be smart by 'critiquing' things that are already regarded as average. It's why most of these morons can't give you any real reason why it's bad, they're just repeating things they've heard.

You don't think that maybe that's cause the vast majority of blacks aren't smart enough to be scientists and engineers?

>their children aren't given the same opportunities children of high income scientists and engineers are on average.

what does this even mean? you think a basketball player is going to not send their kid to school or something?

>You don't think that maybe that's cause the vast majority of blacks aren't smart enough to be scientists and engineers?

There are respected black scientists like Sylvester James Gates who works with the Perimiter Institute, a highly respected institution in the area of physics. I think more blacks can be physicists if they put the effort into it. It takes a lot of effort rather you are black or white. Also, I don't think people who get into the entertainment industry are necessarily less smart they are just using their intelligence in different ways.

> what does this even mean? you think a basketball player is going to not send their kid to school or something?

Children tend to follow the example of their parents. A scientist parent can help his/her children in the field. This make a difference when it comes to SAT scores which are a specific measurement of capability in one area.

Read the first one and it was like Louis L'Amour writing his grittiest work. I wanted to kill myself by the time I was done with the third one.

>Everyone almost dies

That's what socialism is. It's a top down approach where people in positions of power try to mold society to conform to their ideal. Taxing the rich to feed the poor is only one aspect of it.

This. If anything, Idris "Madiba" Elba's casting makes this worth watching.
>>
>>64984867
The introduction of the meta universe killed King's work afterward. Now its all tied into that meta universe and its fucking dumb. It removed any sort of intrigue behind the Flagg character in its various iterations.
>>
>>64985030
>Idris "Madiba" Elba's casting makes this worth watching.
Said no one ever.

There are much better leading men than Elba and they are all WHITE. Elba's only talent is his skin color.

Get over your white guilt, you filthy libtard.

I am serious DT fan
and I am against even bringing it to screens be it movie or tv series ala GoT

it wont work
it will feel terrible
the stuff that works in book is just not really filmable

!!!spoilers ahead!!!
best part is book #2 and the bringing of the main heroes together
its happening as the gunslinger heavily wounded and suffering infection/poisoning finds 3 doors that leads to the heads of the others
he observes, he marvells, he comes forwards to take control of the people, to talk to them, lead them, kill them
this is just unfilmable to me, how would the go about showing it?
would it be just voice over dialog while showing person in the 20th century?

anyway, book #2 is the best part, the hook part, rest is rather okish to mediocre
but without that hook of book #2 it wont work
and the hook will be extremely hard to sell to viewers, while descriptions and thinking in the books works well to pull the reader in
>>
>>64988053

I think the worst part about bringing it to screen is that it will attract all the GOT/Harry Potter fans and make it insufferable.

My personal ranking: Gunslinger original version, Waste Lands, Gunslinger revised, Drawing

I didn't like Wizard, found the short story Little Sisters of Eluria to be average, and didn't read the rest of the DT because I hated that shared universe thing he started in W&G.

But you're right, it won't work. How will the Detta/Odetta thing work with a black Roland? How will they show what Roland learns from the characters he's in the head of? The background of Jack, for example? Flashbacks after flashback with voice over?

Even The Gunslinger would be hard to pull. I can see Tarantino or De Palma doing it, but most modern Hollywood fimmakers can't into silent characters. They'll probably give Roland a sidekick from the start just to have some dialogue.
>>
>>64988529
Gunslinger would be great book
if the king had the balls for the lead character to kill the farmer with the raven/crow dont remember

if the seriousnes of his quest and the nature of his would be shown in that light, he thinks about it, killing him just to be safe and to rest easily and have strength for next pursuit

it would also shown that he was too long along, and that he would be brought back little by his new companions, back in to the light one would say

But out of all the books, book #2 and maybe bits of book #3 were the ones I could not put down. They were the most thrilling read Ive read.

wizard was IMO good stuff, felt orinal and well paced, not that rushed addrenalin but still great. far better than last 3

January is usually the dumping ground for film studios for movies they don't think will do great. January releases are basically cannon fodder flicks just made to fill up theaters' time slots and also to (hopefully) recoup any losses from from previous or future box office bombs.

Slavery ended.

Slavery did not just happen to blacks.

Slavery was not only a white thing.

You fucking retard.

You are nothing before you are born. If a Black Person and a White person were born in the same societal situation, they should end up about the same, assuming Marxists are correct. However every single time they end up stupider and more violent.

Japan had 2 nukes dropped on them and are fucking great within the century, albeit a bit fucking weird.

Which is the role cowboys play in stories. They ride into a town with troubles, heroically solve the issue, usually with violence, then ride off into the sunset.
