I think they made Pennywise look too menacing. It wouldve made more sense for Georgie to be comfortable with a friendly looking clown than a demon looking one. That's my only real problem with the movie
I agree, that's why I liked Tim more, He felt more like a clown you'd least expect to rip you in two. this one is too creepy off bat, what kid would even want to get close to a clown that looks like that? other then that I liked the performance it was different but Tim is still the best imo.

According to my nikka @DPresidential IT based off a real life serial killer clown too back in the 60's I believe.
John Wayne Gacy

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
It was cool. I give it a B -.I really wish Cary would've got to direct it.

I don't think I can be scared or even made to jump by a movie at this point. I started having an internal philosophical conversation with myself mid-film :jbhmm:. Once you reach adulthood is film really a medium where "scary" can be adequately conveyed? Fear to me is visceral journey. I think the best you can hope for in relation to film is a tension filled experience. I say that because the movie that scared me the most in my entire life really had nothing directly to do with the movie. The movie was Species when I was like 10. It was my still developing sense of sexuality and the abstract thought that you could be about to give a woman them prime Justin Slayer Booty Talk strokes and she turns into a damn alien on your ass :dame:.

Books can be scary as fukk because you're only limited in the experience by your own imagination or lack thereof. I started to wonder why can video games (i.e. another visual medium) for example be scarier than movies? I concluded it's because you're directly in control of the character's decision making process in most instances and their outcome. If you're playing RE:3 and you have only one door to open, and feel in your stomach that Nemesis is behind that door you may have to hit a :hubie:. You have to actually choose to go through that door. You're not watching someone else do it on some voyeur tip like :martin:.

Then I finished my box of junior mints. :birdman:


This has nothing to do with the movie, but last night was the first time in my 33 years that I felt old :flabbynsick:. There was so many jits (13,14,15, 16, et al) in the theater talking and shyt the entire movie, in constant motion to and from who knows the fukk where, taking snapchat pics and shyt. One of the worst movie experiences I ever had. :sadcam:

nikkas...I know we all liked True Detective season 1 but I read Fukunaga's IT script and it was GARBAGE. We need to be thankful he wasnt involved and we got the movie we did because his script was straight garbage

The reaction from my screening was better than the movie (which was pretty good tbh)

I swear the chick sitting behind me got a heart attack a couple times :laff:
