I was looking forward for Cary vision of the book. No offense but "It" is an book that cannot be watered down at all for adaption. Im actually reading this book over again at the moment and its fukking dope. I mean new line trying to be cheap with the budget because an wack ass remake that did not perform well. Nobody wanted to see that shyt anyway Cary's adaption was gonna put horror back on the map.

Some of it will have to be watered down though. Specifically the scene from the book where all of the boys run a train on an 11 year old girl. :francis:

I mean..it's crazy. It's the same reason studios were hesitant to greenlight a female superhero movie because of Elektra and Catwoman. So they were nervous about it working out. Same reason it took 5 years after Batman and Robin to do a big superhero adaptation because they were scared and hesitant and felt like "well, they didn't like this so the audience won't like superheroes"

But can you blame them Marty??

I mean CATWOMAN to would have made "JESUS CHRIST" himself lose faith in another feature film about a female superhero...

even the TRALER to CATWOMAN was horrendous....

Yeah I can blame them cause it's stupid thinking. By that logic I shouldn't drive my car because of car accidents. None of us should use computers because of viruses.

man trust me on this....cause I know media marketing....a lot of it isn't based on "Scientific Data"....usually it's just the gut feeling driving by emotion and superstition when it comes to marketing movies , music and television..

stupid yes....pseudo science yes....but they CALL THE SHOTS...CAUSE THEY GOT THE GUAP ($$$)...... :manny:

I personally think sinister is scarier than the conjuring and insidious. They showing too much in the trailer for insidious 3 tho. Conjuring was pretty dope

I know about media marketing too breh and I get it. But I also know it's stupid. I've talked about it in classes and even had marketing professors talk about it. Eventually the game has to change and in order to do that you gotta look at the whole picture rather than making blanket statements or assumptions

:myman: Nothing from the latter two are touching any of those snuff segments and 2/3 of Sinister. Conjuring was still very good from an entertainment aspect and very enjoyable to watch.

Night Shift and Skeleton Crew are neck and neck to me. Night Shift maybe a bit more I had read it back in like 5th grade after my older cousin left the book at my house. The Boogeyman Man was my favorite story. I never saw that Boogeyman adaptation at least I don't think I have.

You ain't missing much. It's from like '85 or so. It was one of them low budget joints you rent from a hole in the wall video place. It had that, and another King short film, can't remember which, on the same tape.

Apparently there was a 2010 short film version of the story too, never seen that one.
