There are other King adaptations happening this year, even. It and Stranger Things, and probably others.
>>85879312
>Stranger Things
has nothing to do with Stephen King other than middling homages
>63% audience score
so is it not quite as bad as the critics are saying?
>>85879337
>middling homages
Salem's Lot + The Body +The Talisman
>>85879401
50% of the audience would literally accept anything.
So it's more like 13%, which is even less than the critics.
>>85879401
First day it's in wide release. I expect it to reach the 40% range once more people see it.
>>85879253
I only play videogames, what does this mean?
>>85879401
If a movie is hated by critics and liked by audiences it will end up there after like 3-6 months. It's gonna drop like a rock
>>85879423
The point is it's not made by Stephen King. Also you forgot Tommyknockers.
>>85879401
This had Elba as a good guy fighting the tyranny of the Drumpf supporting evil white man, Matthew Mcconaughey. Under these circumstances, the movie should've been a certified fresh by now. By every right, it should at least be 80%. Only Sony could've fucked up this badly
I'll just go watch the Emoji movie a second time then

One of my good friends, who I turned onto the novels, went and saw this last night.
He said words couldn't describe how little effort they put into trying to actually tell the tale of Roland

>If a movie is hated by critics and liked by audiences it will end up there after like 3-6 months. It's gonna drop like a rock
Tell that to Suicide Squad, Man of Steel and BvS
I have not read the books, like both Elba and Mcconaughey and I thought the trailer looked like absolute horseshit.
>>85879517
>Also you forgot Tommyknockers.
?? the christmas lights?
It's been a while since I read that one. Weird dreams would be fun for season 2.

The movie ends with Jake and Roland eating hot dogs in New York after Roland has killed the Man In Black and declared the Dark Tower saved.
Roland ponders aloud what breed of dog their hot dogs are made from. They laugh.
The end.
>>85879553
BvS is at a 60-something right now
Back then it was at an 80 something. It'll drop
>>85879728
wtf apparently I need to reread Tommyknockers. That was my Talisman/Black House mention, since Black House is essentially the detective plot.
>>85879552
>He said words couldn't describe how little effort they put into trying to actually tell the tale of Roland
I powered through the first few books when I had nothing else to read a few years ago, got as far as the one with roland being a pussy whipped teenager and had to stop it was so bad, so not being faithful to the source isn't much of a concern.
but I guess I can safely assume it's hot garbage because that's what sony does best these days.

What does it say about /tv/ that this image is instantly recognizable by all of us.
>>85879401
You're right it is KINO. The critics are wrong ONCE AGAIN. I will watch this kino in cinemas.
>>85879825Yeah remember everyone was getting smarter and a kid who liked mafic built a device to make his brother disappear and then he starts crying because he doesn't know how to bring him back and he even hears him crying at times about how it's hard to breathe wherever he is
>>85879745
Someone please tell me this isn't real
HOW DO YOU MAKE A WESTERN

>>85880030
Holy fuck this could've been kino.
>>85879745
Movie fucking saved
>>85880084
>a cowboy hat would have saved this train wreck
No.
>>85879476
Actually 13% of 50 would be 6.5%
>>85879848
That you like cuck porn

Die faggot.

Just watched the trailer for the first time
I really liked the early books in this series but they have shat all over them
Don't give a fuck about the race thing. They have Hollywood Blockbuster'd the shit out of this
>>85879848
i think anyone who watches porn will recognize that guy
hes the top-paid cuck actor and appears in basically everything
>>85880438
>Don't give a fuck about the race thing.

Good. Casting Elba was a massive oversight. I like his acting, but casting Roland as a black dude was going to require a huge ass change for the Drawing Of the Three in regards to his relationship with Detta/Odetta.

Speak for yourself.

It's okay, anon. We're all anonymous here. You can admit it.
>>85880670
>tfw well never get the sequel with white-washed Odetta calling Idris Elba a porch monkey

Both me.
>>85879401
I usually try to average the audience score with the critic score. I started doing that after the Iron Fist bullshit. Sure, it really wasn't that good of a show but they gave it like 18%.
>>85879401
No, it's worse
I suspect it'll be a fun movie but culturally insignficant, hence the disparity between the scores.
Nothing wrong with that though, I actually think we need more movies of that type. Nowadays they generally get flattened out by test audiences but the 80s and 90s had tons of them.
