Movie was dope.
The scenes with the father had me feeling fukked up. I literally turned my head at that shyt. If they would have went all the way with it I would have been done

I never go to a movie I really give a fukk about at night. To many variables could happen.
Well worth the price of admission

Apathy’s a Tragedy & Boredom is a Crime
This was all that I expected and then some, I really enjoyed it. I thought it juggled a coming of age story mixed with a horror film together quite well. The themes in it of abusive parents, loss of a sibling, the fear that comes with growing up set around the increasing presence of Pennywise hunting them I really liked, like somebody else might've said Think Stand by Me meets Nightmare on Elm St. Some stuff was on the nose
but I didn't really take an issue with stuff like that. If there was any one thing I can say I think it could've improved upon was just more background for most of the kids. We saw all of their fears but we didn't get to know all of them as personally (imo) as we got to know Bill, Bev, and to an extent Eddie. Mike, Richie, Stanley and Ben could've used a few more minutes of depth but I think that's sometimes a side effect of having a group of main characters. But everything else was great to me. They all had top notch chemistry, there was a nice blend of comedy and suspense, just enough gore without going too overboard. My theater was packed (finding tickets for every showtime was nearly impossible) a lot of kids too, as if this was a superhero movie lmao. I eagerly await Chapter 2.
Bev buying tampons in one scene then later having pennywise soak her in blood in the bathroom like that scene in Nightmare on Elm St
which also felt like a slight nod to Carrie
If this group of kids become a ratpack while growing up, i'd be all for it

Gettin' It In
everyones mentioning richie but eddie had me cracking up throughout
One flaw I think that really affected it was not blending the time periods, like 90 & book. It may have really helped with developing the other characters that were glossed over, including the actual town of Derry and it's occupants.
Eh, this is the movies, we don't know for sure if they killed off Bowers or not. They could easily show him locked up in the second half saying 30 years ago he was found gravely injured and people would buy it. I figured they did that to Bowers to satisfy the audience because people would have probably been disappointed by anything less.
It still does surprise me that people still expect to be scared by fictionalized beasts that they damn well know don't actually or can exist.
The only character that has scared me as a grown adult is probably Chris Partlow from The Wire.
the most recent time I've been scared by an on screen character was the lil nikka in "We need to talk About Kevin"
my mans was evil in its purest form
Good movie although it wasn't too scary to me but I'm probably too 
to get scared anymore. No way they don't push hard to get Amy Adams for part 2 right? The actress playing Bev is an Amy Adams clone that hasn't grown up yet. One of the boys even calls her "Lois Lane".
