Maybe my memory is faulty, but I recall liking John Ritter as well.Yes, if only for the wonderful performances of Seth Green and the late, great Johnathan Brandis.
But let's be honest. It was Tim Curry's show.

I was gonna make a joke about a certain scene from the book and a certain ex-member from here but it's for the best that I don't.
Thats a classic ;^)In the meantime watch this trash to tide y'all over...

It was thatSaw this last week at the Australian premier!
OMFG IT WAS AMAZING!!! scared/10
It was thatamazing eh?=O
Wow, that's crazy, this does sound really good. And lucky!It reminded me why I had a phobia of Pennywise as a child! The acting in the film was top-notch and so were the visual effect really brought it all together! going to see it again Tomorrow.
Well that's a good signJust got out of an advance screening. Coming at this as somebody who hadn't read the book or seen the original series. Absolutely excellent. It strongly captures that Spielberg-ian sense of child-like wonder, and blends it with very modern horror sensibilities.
Less than an hour from now(2AM EST) if that tweet from twitter is true.When can we expect the reviews to start?
2AM EST if that tweet is right.Embargo up when?
Derry is not a character in this movie. It's just a place where a haunted house is planted. And so far as I can remember: Pennywise never gets an on-screen kill in this movie, save for Georgie at the beginning, and even then, you don't really see that kill.
When it comes to the real nasty shit the book thrives on, the everyday horror of small-town cruelty and ignorance? There's almost nothing there.
IMPRESSIONS SNIPPED FOR EFFICIENCY
Well that's both uplifting and a little sad. It seems like this still misses some of the point of the book, but is still a good film that is ultimately much better overall than the crap miniseries. Is that a fair summation?
Also, do we get to see It take any forms outside of Pennywise? It was always such a let down that It's defining ability was basically glossed over in the miniseries.and maybe the weird spider beast

Is this a spoiler thread? I started reading Bobby's thoughts but zoomed down to the bottom just in case. Haven't read the book or seen the miniseries
Many things easily could, no one has tried till nowBobby says it's good.
I dunno
Not many things can beat the Curry adaption.
It shouldn't be a spoiler thread, and his short review contains spoilers...
I don't think there's anything even remotely spoilery other than "Finn Wolfhard plays Street Fighter."
I guess maybe "Pennywise doesn't get an onscreen kill" but that's not really a spoiler because I'm telling you about a thing that doesn't happen in the movie, not a thing that does.
Very light spoilers imo.
That sounds like a personal problem, bro.Yes, you're right, but at the same time one is kind of too much for me because now every time I see Penny in an intense sequence I'll be expecting that person to not suddenly be killed before my eyes.
Thoughts
Fukunaga's script is weird as fuck, I don't think it was what people would have wanted from an IT movie eitherLame, Fukunaga would never do us like this.
Lmao
I am pretty bummed about Derry not being an oppressive hell hole though. Same with Pennywise not getting some kills in onscreen either.
That can be fixed in the sequel though. Open it with some fuckery set in the past with Pennywise being there in some of Derry's fucked up moments. Maybe that's already the idea and they just went really safe this time around to make sure people show up for the sequel.
That sounds like a personal problem, bro.
I applaud this. 👏IT is!
Fukunaga's script is weird as fuck, I don't think it was what people would have wanted from an IT movie either
And reading the book, I never got the sense that Derry was portrayed as an oppressive hellhole. It was more like an American small town version of a Lovecraftian hamlet with a dark secret
That's the dark secret. You know like how a village silently accepts their good harvest knowing it was a result of the yearly sacrifice that no one talks aboutIt's not so much as a secret in the book as it's a part of the town that the citizens willfully ignore.
