    Great headlining actors but cheap budget and a director whose done nothing of note.

    Not read the books so......wait until online stream is available.

    Haven't read these but isn't another major character in the books a black woman? I heard there's some race dynamics in the book and wonder how this will change it.

    No complaints with the actor. Idris is great.

    In the books there was a black woman who was classy and educated but she had a split personality where she was a ghetto characature and said shit like "don you be gettin yoself up in mah way, boi!" It was the most racist shit I've ever read in popular fiction and I doubt it will make it into the film. Casting Elba is probably in part a way to apologize and assure audiences that they know better.

    Sounds like a good omission. Like the kids in IT pulling a train on the girl in the group was removed from the miniseries. King writes some good stuff but some of the shit you feel dirty after reading.

    Just out of curiosity, how do blacks from the ghetto actually speak?

    Ask your mother when she's sucking their cocks.

    Come on Twerp, no need to get all emotionally charged and racially offended, lolz.

    What King wrote is pretty much how those types speak, aight?

    I'm sure you and mama magus would've loved it. You can tell King has black friends. Have you read any of the books?
