It was all my fault.  I skipped the fourth season.

Well, it certainly wasn't my fault! I haven't watched any of them! 🤣

Honestly think I might faint! Oh my god, this is amazing. I've been dreaming about a Flanagan-led Dark Tower series for years now!

Couldn’t agree more.  This is the the right partnership.  Now the fun of casting rumors begins!

I just hope this one makes it farther than Amazon’s previous effort… (I’d still really like to see Glen Mazzara’s pilot they filmed and shelved.)

I’m sure it will make it further.  Flanagan track record is solid and he knows how to work within a budget.  
 

BTW I don’t think the Mazzara script was ever green lit or filmed…

It was filmed and Amazon passed. Sounds like it would have been basically a prequel series, like the Marvel comics from a few years back (which were great, btw, and plotted by King’s research assistant, Robin Furth, who authored two volumes of The Dark Tower concordance). Mazzara talked about his pilot on an episode of The Kingcast podcast a few years back, too. Well worth a listen!

 

I think Flanagan is going to go the more straightforward route and adapt the 7 books, which I’m all for. Man, I am so freaking excited for this! I’m also trying not to get my hopes up too, too high in case this project falls through and all the worst-case scenario stuff happens. 😂😅

I’ll definitely have to listen to that episode. I’d read an earlier article that was clearly wrong about the mazzara pilot.  
 

flanagans adaptations so far have been fairly faithful so I’m optimistic too.

Meant to include this link from EW in my earlier post but got too busy geeking out… 🤣

I am wondering what other MP peeps have in their home TV watching systems. 📺 

 

We just found out today that our DIRECTV/AT&T has dropped NEWSMAX which we enjoy and think this is “wokeness” on their part as this is the 2nd “conservative” programming they have dropped 😠, the other being OAR… but they have kept 22 “liberal” programming! 😡 

 

We may have to find an “alternative” ways of watching our programs, but it is very hard being we are in a “RURAL” area and we might just “always” need a satellite system or maybe we can find a system that just uses the “internet” IDK 🤷‍♂️

Just ordered this morning out of my nostalgia for Gilligan’s Island❣️ 🙏 🎬

 

Rescue from Gilligan's Island Blu-ray Blu-ray 🇺🇸 

Variety Films | 1978 | 94 min | Oct 26, 2022

 

 

 

 

Rescue from Gilligan's Island Blu-ray

 (TV) (1978) 

A huge tidal wave transports the seven castaways back to civilization. While they're thrilled to be back in the real world, none of the seven are able to adjust to life outside the island....least of all Gilligan, who on top of all his other problems must contend with a pair of enemy agents.
