Intertextual Refs - Sources Needed[edit]

Intertextual References was tagged for lacking sourcing since mid-2009. In that time no sources were added, and it's unclear how much of this might be original research. While direct and explicit refs might be appropriate to include without sourcing, it seems unlikely that that applies to the entire list, and I believe there may be a fair amount of cruft (or even outright inaccuracies) here. Please feel free to readd with appropriate sourcing or where the reference is made explicit...though at that point there should be context provided, not just a list of items.

Intertextual references

As with most of Stephen King's novels many elements of real life popular culture are mentioned in each of the Dark Tower novels including other books, poetry, songs, and movies. These works may be mentioned in passing or often as important plot devices.

Included here is a list of such references. All works mentioned below occur within the books' narrative and do not include any mention in the foreword or afterword of the books:

Discordia game currently not usable[edit]

I tried to play the Discordia online game. First I was able to register and watched the introduction. Later I tried to log on again, and that was not possible. A query to the webmaster at stephenking.com resulted in this reply:

"Discordia account creation and login are not currently working. The game is currently being rewritten for the modern web, and a new version should be out in the next month or so."

Is that worth noting in the tiny section about Discordia? And if so how - a private email is not exactly a good source. RenniePet (talk) 04:53, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Film adaptation mention in the introduction seems mistaken[edit]

The introduction states: "A film based on The Gunslinger and also serving as a sequel to the events of The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower due to the nature of said book's ending was released in August 2017." However, there is no evidence in the link provided or in the movie itself that it is a sequel for the novels. Has anybody seen this stated anywhere or is it just bogus?

Shouldn't this be marked as a spoiler? The article linked itself is a spoiler clearly marked in the middle (even if the title of the article is also a spoiler). I think it's unnecessary to provide such detail to mention this book is the "next iteration" of Roland. Should be only mentioned as sequel or even canon to the series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.113.115.2 (talk) 20:38, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
