Oh shit! Yeah, that's a great one. Seems it'll definitely be in the movie, too.
Yup.
You can see a bit of the statue in the trailer.

Parts of it look pretty good, others are making me smh like that last shot.
Also, Pennywise looks absolutely fucking awful. He's way too forced and edgy.
Oh well.
Patrick hockstedder looks creepily just like I pictured him.
This looks like an inversion of the old tv series.
Pennywise was borderline perfect in the tv series, but everything else was garbage.
This looks incredible, except for Pennywise.
Making Pennywise look like a scary clown totally misses the point.
Clowns shouldn't try to look scary, they should be unassuming children's entertainers.And what's the point?

I have lived 30+ years and never knew that there was some kind of weird sex scene in IT. I've never heard anyone talk about it at all when discussing the book or the mini-series.
For some reason though, since this remake got started all ANYONE wants to talk about is the weird sex scene that will obviously not even be in the remake.
Despite the popular miniseries, IT has always kind of flown a little under the radar in King's bibliography in comparison to his other horror works
This isn't true at all
No, at no point has IT ever "flown under the radar" as anything. It was the most popular book in the world the year it was released, and has consistently sold ever since. The miniseries got the ratings it got because of the popularity of the book, and the popularity of the miniseries in turn fed further sales of the book, which, again, was at the time a giant fucking hit, especially considering how goddamned thick it was.
IT has always been one of King's most popular, most referenced, most well known works of fiction. There is no way "Flown under the radar" works as a descriptor for it.

Nah. I wasn't saying it was unknown or anything, but like when you compare it to stuff like The Stand, Dark Tower, Shining, Salems Lot, etc. others it's not as much talked about or as referenced in the King canon.
I doubt that. It's the book I've heard people talk about the most, and must be one of his most popular. When I talk to people about King and his work, IT is the book people first mention having read. It must be one of his most sold books.
Everyone my age seems to have a relationship to it (and/or the miniseries).
IT is the ClownNah. I wasn't saying it was unknown or anything, but like when you compare it to stuff like The Stand, Dark Tower, Shining, Salems Lot, etc. others it's not as much talked about or as referenced in the King canon. Well, it is now since the new adaptation is coming out, but the majority of people probably talking about it now are more familiar with the miniseries than they are the book. The fact that a lot of people didn't know about that scene is a testament.
Link doesn't seem to work, but is that a best of list? I mean, okay, but a website list doesn't really matter to what I'm saying. Shields down, boys, I ain't saying IT is an unknown King book like the Regulators or something, just that over the years it's not been as read or referenced as some of King's other big works.
IT is the Clown
I mean it was the scary clown for alot of kids in the 90sYeah, and the name of the book lol. Unless you're saying the whole of IT is just defined by Pennywise. I dunno, I wouldn't go that far though
just that over the years it's not been as read or referenced as some of King's other big works.
I mean its the scaey clown for alot of people in the 90s
except the Joker of course, now that is THE CLOWN
Soo that whole bit in the sewers with the girl is still gone right? I still don't see the need for all of that in the original book.
I think the only book by King I would expect to be more famous than It is The Shining, and that's mainly because of the movie.
Anecodtally, as someone who deals with selling used books at a Goodwill store, we get lots of his stuff. It sells fucking instantly. I mean, most of his stuff moves rather quick. But, It is the only one that moves so quickly I have yet to get a hardcover copy for myself (it has to be on the floor for so long before an employee can buy it).

No, it's in this movie. Why wouldn't it be?

Yeah, this is wrong tho
Like, what are you even basing that on?
King has said that The Stand sells and is more popular than any other novel of his by far.
They just released a new hardcopy for the 35th anniversary btw, you may want to look into it.
General knowledge, really.
Werewolf
Mummy
Giant Bird
Leper
Giant eyeball
Bev's dad
Frankenstein monster
A bunch of flying leeches
A few others, but those are probably the most memorable.
Have there been any parodies of IT?Don't be a smart ass and say the mini series.
Examples like:
Simpsons Shining parody.
Rocko's Modern Life Shining parody.
The Critic Misery parody.
etc.
Patrick hockstedder looks creepily just like I pictured him.
Just the look of the kid on the poster looks quite creepy and dead eyed to me. Patrick to me was the most disturbing part of the entire book.Patrick from when they announced he was going to appear in this setting, or Patrick from the novel. I ask because Patrick in the novel looks nothing like this depiction. Not only was the hairstyle and such off, him (as well as Bowers gang as a whole) were MUCH younger. That's what made everything surrounding them more disturbing.

Bobby will probably tell me I'm objectively wrong tho.
I'll make it even more simple, because I am not saying he looks like the book description. He looks in the trailer to me like a dead eyed sociopathic freak who snuffs his brother out with a pillow and feels nothing about it.Maybe the face looks similar. Book said he kinda had lips like him. Though other than being much younger (12 in the book), I think Patrick in the book was a little more meaty (though not Ben meaty), having a "moon face".

This movie is revealed to be 135 minutes long. Longest horror movie in a while I think.
