...and it was much, much better than I expected it would be. (There, I said it!)

So overall? I liked it. I recommend you see it.

...and it’s pretty lopsided. I dunno. Maybe I’m a Grumpy Jane (to paraphrase the Rock Critic’s “grumpy Gus”) but...I dunno.

So overall? I feel bad saying all this stuff about the movie because I was so excited to see it, but...rent this one, guys. Rent it. Maybe I’ll change my mind on a second viewing, but...rent it.

 Currently have 1,450 words. Not as good as my previous word counts, but it’s something. Writing a horror novel for this year’s WriMo, and I’m thinking of doing some actions for self-care (read: fanfiction and such) to keep from having nightmares. Hopefully the novel will be good, of course. 

...and...I admit that I have mixed feelings.

So I guess overall, it's a very flawed movie, but it's nowhere near the abomination that critics and Stephen King fans are making it out to be. It's got some good acting from Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey (despite my complaints about how he was written). Honestly, I think it would have worked better if they had adapted The Gunslinger (as best as the Gunslinger can be adapted, of course) first and then the other books before they made their own fan continuation of it. But it's not a terrible movie. It definitely deserves a higher score on Rotten Tomatoes than it got.

So...thoughts? Comments? What did other Stephen King fans think of it?
