The Wind Through the Keyhole

Ben: Finished dat book.

Ben: The Glass in the Rosehole. 

Me: Was it the missing link in your understanding of the Dartower mythos?  

Ben: Perhaps it will turn out to be. 

Ben: Or maybe I will be forced to reread it to glean the hidden significance.

Me: Let's have your Twitlonger review. 

Ben: I liked the creamy nougat of the book.

Ben: Stephen King missed his calling. 

Ben: He should have been an author. 

Ben: But instead he became a novelist. 

Me: Is the creamy nougat the part with the dark man and the talking tiger?  

Ben: It is the centermost narrative.

Me: It's been three years since I read the book so I'm a little rusty. 

Ben: It was a nice little fable thing. 

Ben: The framing narrative was utterly forgettable. 

Ben: The metaframing narrative was barely there but was okay. 

Me: You weren't dying to see Roland fight a werewolf? 

Ben: Nothing really happened. 

Ben: Honestly until you asked for my review I had forgotten that the book did not just end when Tim got home.

Me: The book had almost as many endings as Return of the King. 

Me: Do you have anything else to add or should we move on to your review of Batman: Return of the Darknight? 

Ben: Hold on I have not seen it yet!!! 

Ben: No spoilers.

Ben: Okay so what is next? 

Ben: Let's bust out the shoebox.

Ben: EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL. 

Me: Two stories in Everything's Eventual. First is the eponymous "Everything's Eventual."  

Me: Then "Little Sisters of Eluria."  

Me: Then I think the rest of the novels should be in the right order. 

Ben: God damn it. 

Me: Next is Insomnia, then DARTOWER 5. 

Ben: This will be the fourth Stephen King book in a row that is just a collection of short stories.

Ben: Where the FUCK is Father Callahan? 

Ben: After all this waiting this better be good. 

Me: He's still on that fucking bus, dude. 

Me: It's a long bus ride between worlds. 

Me: Do you even remember who Father Callahan is?  

Ben: He better come riding from the sky, swooping down from upon a Valkyrie with which he also having sex, while firing two semiautomatic silver pistols.

 Me: What if he shows up in Roland's world only to die immediately?  

Ben: You mean like he comes swooping down upon his Valkyrie and then upon hitting the ground he immediately has his dick bitten off by a lobster. 

Me: DID A CHICK.

 Ben: He gives Eddie a single high five and then falls dead. 

Ben: THEN HE RISES AS A VAMPIRE OH SHIT. 

Ben: I'm serious, if his cameo is as insubstantial as the Wickerclock Man you're not getting your books back. 

Ben: Salem's Lot was BOOK FUCKING TWO. 

Me: He actually travels back in time and is immediately shot to death by his own mother while she is pregnant with him. 

Ben: We are on EIGHT. 

Ben: Oh god damn it.

 Ben: Fuck you, Daniel Faraday. 

Me: But he was your favorite.

Me: I think. 

Ben: I've actually forgotten the specifics of how he died, other than "it was shitty." 

Ben: Not that I remember much at all from that year so 

Ben: not really surprising. 

Ben: Did you go see Darknight 2: Darknighter?  

Me: No. 

Me: Are you going to wait until the costume ban is lifted before you go see it?  

Me: You can't wear a costume to the theater because someone shot up a theater while not wearing a costume. 

Ben: But srsly, Officer, these are just my clothes. 

Ben: I live on the street, this Kermit the Frog outfit is all I have. 

Me: BRUCE WAYNE ARRESTED FOR WEARING COSTUME TO BATMAN PREMIERE 

Ben: "I'M HIS BIGGEST FAN" ~ BRUCE WAYNE  

Me: BRUCE WAYNE: SECRET COSPLAYER?  

Ben: CHRISTIAN BALE ARRESTED FOR WEARING BRUCE WAYNE COSTUME TO BATMAN PREMIERE "SERIOUSLY THIS IS JUST MY FACE PLEASE STOP CUTTING" ~ CHRISTIAN BALE  

Me: TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE!!!  

Ben: Are the new Half in the Bags out yet? 

Me: The latest is one on Rise of the Dark Knight Surfer but i haven't watched it because of spoilers. 

Me: There are also ones for Spider-Man, Abaraham Lincolon Vampire Slayer, Prometheus, and Daniel Tosh. 

Ben: Holy shit. 

Ben: There are a lot of new ones. 

Ben: Wasn't the Red Tails one the last one we saw? 

Me: I think Avengers. 

Ben: Oh right we did not watch every single one. 

Me: No there are dozens. 

Me: Once History of Power Rangers is finished we can go back and watch them all. 

Ben: It's finished. 

Ben: And for the record Desmond was my favorite character.
