John Podesta and his brother
"IT" movie (not a spoiler)
- Thread starter ArabianOak
- Start date
Clown? Check
Sewer? Check
Eats Kids? Hmm, thought they just had appetite for pizza?
see: "Spirit cooking"
I ended up getting my wife to go because a friend and his girlfriend wanted to go. We loved it. My wife screamed three times. The first time was so loud that my buddy thought it was part of the movie.
Richie was great with the jokes. All the kids did a good job. No chance my kids will see this.

Praise Moloch!
The wife and I saw IT on Saturday and while I liked the movie I was disappointed. Neither of us found the movie scary and my wife scares easy.
I agree all the scares came from the clown himself and no real terror from the atmosphere. All the monsters looked cartoony.

I look forward to the sequel but I won't be as excited about it now.

1. Ritchie is the historian instead of Mike.
2. The way the monster was fought by the children.
3. Beverly was kinda weak.

This would have been a great use of the spoiler alert feature.
I didn't think any of that is really a spoiler.
In my opinion no.
You get to see Georgie lose his arm but no gore like I was picturing in my head.
The Beverly in the bathroom scene is just like the original movie just way more blood. I think thats it for blood and gore.

Spoilers on a story and mini-series that is 30 years old?
Come on guys. What's next, we need spoiler alerts for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Either way, I'm going by the grocery store to get a helium filled red balloon for the sewer next to my house. Got to get the wife worked up before I start with all the clown gags.

All these people talking about how it's "not scary". You realize it's probably because it doesn't match up with your interpretation of the book, right? One of the great things about Stephen King - any good fiction author, really - is leaving things up to your imagination. You get to fill in the blanks. That's why the books are always better than the movies, IMHO.
The first time I read It, I distinctly recall reading several passages that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, but not because of the words, because of how I pictured what was happening in my mind's eye.

I hate clowns to this day because of that damn book. I was probably in the 5th/6th grade when I read it.
I still won't stick my arm in a sewer. I don't care what's in there.
I think the mods should change to the clown avatars because of all this.
I just think they did a poor job of setting the mood. A proper scary movie will give you a sense of dread and this just fell short IMO.
