I recently bought a #1 2nd print and two # 2's. I'm curious about the later books. How glossy is the cover on the counterfeit?

Stephen King's 'Dark Tower' Alive Again, Lands at Sony

 

Akiva Goldsman, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Erica Huggins, who have been trying to mount the project for close to a decade, are producing.

 

The project has a new -script co-written by Goldsman and Jeff Pinkner. Insiders say the new -script, which adapts the first book of the series, Gunslinger, has been totally reconceived by the duo from the version that had been previously developed.

 

Now the hunt begins for a filmmaker to sit in the director’s chair.

 

Said Tom Rothman, the new chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group: “There are few projects out there that compare with the scope, vision, complex characters and fully drawn world that Stephen King has created with The Dark Tower. I am a giant fan. And, as Stephen himself does, we love the direction that Akiva and Jeff have taken. This is a great opportunity for a director to put his or her stamp on a cool global franchise."

 

 

With the chairman of a company being a reading fan, hopefully that provides the energy needed.

Nick, I'm not sure a movie franchise would do this epic tale justice. This is a very detailed story with so much depth.....ten plus seasons from an HBO /showtime type channel is the way to go. It would be an injustice to the source material and the readers/fans to cram it into a few movies. I'm also pissed as a fart currently. Take that for what it's worth. The Black Hand has a stinky taint, btw.

Is there a thread about it?

 

I just finished Volume One of the two volume omnibus slipcase edition.

 

It was great.

SiP is one of the best series I've ever read. I just finished binging on all 14 TPBs.

Francine.

It's another COOL sig book.

More scribbles, more money. God bless that yellow label.

Cain and abel, death, morpheus globe and Jesse custer.

MIke Baron has been the only person to every actually pissed me off. I went to have him sign a copy of my Flash #1 and he rolled his eyes at me said nothing and signed it on the inside like he was ashamed of it. If you want some to care about your new book on Jazz I guess you shouldn't act like an , I might of actually asked about it. From what I saw the rest of the convention he pretty much got no traffic. Now I don't know whether to throw or give the book away.

 

James O'barr was definitely off putting but I had heard that going in.

 

Met O'Barr at Heroes Con1994. This year was undoubtedly the highlight of his fame. New Crow movie came out... all kinds of merchandising $$$ to be made by him... everyone wanted to meet him...

 

... and it felt like he hated every minute of it. I mean he wasn't rude or mean... just that he really would have been happier if his book hadn't have taken off. If that makes any sense

 

I asked him to sign a Crow movie and please personalize it to one of my friends as a gift...

 

He said (in his vampire-ish voice)... " I will sign it any way you so desire "

O' Barr was great when I met him a few years ago in Atlanta. Nice, chatty and drew me a fantastic gritty Batman.

I used to love this thread....now I hate it.No Fun.

Butthurt and jealousy erwhere. If I find a good deal on a small collection of cool books, I'm keeping that mess to myself.

Okay,the word butthurt always makes me giggle but this post made me outright laugh.

CD I'm listing to :

 

Let it go Disney Movie Soundtrack

 

 

 

I don't have kids so I have no idea what that is.

 

My kids would listen to Slayer if I did.

Here is a pencil Odin that I'm to lazy to finish.

 

Sometimes it just feels right not to finish the work.I left this unfinished.

 

Nice.

Suck it, Roy

 

holy carp where'd he come from?

Canada.

This thread questions CGC's consistency in regards to both it's restoration detection AND it's grading. Very disturbing.

 

It also illustrates that Kav tries too hard. WAY too hard.

 

Peace,

Yup, he didn't take my advice earlier in the thread. Shame really.

Some advice for people giving me advice: if everyone's trying to give me advice i'm just gonna ignore all the advice.

You may want to begin taking some of that advice. Just a tought.

EVERY book with good edges 'might be trimmed'. Every one. IMO trimming has too much stigma. If it's very very minor and basically undetectable it should be like pressing.

 

If you open that can of worms, this thread will never end. Someone might even point out that given the variance in production of older books it's possible for a trimmed book to have more "real estate" than an untrimmed copy that was chopped a bit narrowly at the printing plant.

this is exactly what I'm getting at. Of all the resto possibilities, exceedingly well done trimming is the best case scenario. Because whether paper was cut at the plant or by some dude, if it looks exactly the same what does it matter? I AM OPENING THIS CAN OF WHOOP- UH....WORMS!

Take a break, you really don't need to be a everyday of the week. (thumbs u
