We analyzed 50 screenings of the movie's opening night, and things aren't looking good.

    Exactly the same response to how they cast Roland in The Dark Tower. Apparently Roland is a cursed name now.

      You mean Idris Elba isn’t good casting for a character described as a “honky mufuh” with “bombardier blue” eyes?

      I like watching Idris but he ain’t no Roland Deschain.

          I could have gotten over the minor disparity because they needed a good actor, but that script was a completely butchered hack job. Anyone who made decisions on that movie should be excised from the entertainment industry.

          Ha ha. The casting was the least of the movie’s issues. I like watching Elba and I think Matthew McConaughey was phenomenal casting for the Man in Black.
