Dark Tower movies

I wish they'd fix the ending, the last two books really are long winded bollox. It is like he finished it off in a hurry just to get it over with, while making it as long as he could.
the first three (The Gunslinger, The Drawing Of The Three, and The Wastelands.) really are the best, with an awesome but totally believable mix of western, sci fi, and fantasy. I have read these books many times, to the point where they have been replaced. however the last 3 I have only read a few, and I have a mint hard cover of The Dark Tower that was only read once, I have simply no urge to go back to it, sorry

Hmmmm, I absolutely loved these books but that's not how I'd describe them. Roland may have been a gunslinger type dude but I never picked up on the "western" theme, or "sci-fi", even "fantasy" doesn't really do the story's justice.

It doesn't matter if Stephen Kings is in full bore horror or alternative reality mode but for me one of his best attributes is that he manages to make the most horrific/weird/funny/fantastic ideas seem gritty, and down to earth. He doesn't sugar coat anything and hopefully neither does Ron Howard.
