I haven't read it but I am working through the audiobook and at almost 11 hours in the adults still haven't made it back to Derry in the and kids haven't even all gotten together as a group yet. It's definitely a slow burn

SimonCat posted:Re-watching the TV movie. Forgot about the Irish cop in the movie. They're hanging out by the river and Paddy McStereotype stops by. It's so random and out of nowhere I half expected it to be Pennywise. The audiobook is really good since the guy is actually emoting during it. I've listened to some real poo poo audiobooks where the person just drones and I expected that from this one.

What're the odd if It getting a super special release that intertwines both movies after all is said and done?

I finally hit that spot towards the end. Having a guy read me a scene about a preteen orgy is even more awkward than I expected it to be

tetrapyloctomy posted:Not the best part of the job, I guess. I already am not a big fan of sex scenes in books because they're always awkward and don't feel like they add much. But did I really need to know that Ben had the biggest thing and that it made her hurt and feel like she was flying? No. No I did not coked up Stephen King.

It felt like everyone who saw Pennywise as a clown was unnerved by him. There were little tidbits of photographs with kids where they were staring at him with a look of unease. The first time Ben saw him he was like "none of this makes sense for a clown to be doing. This isn't right." Pennywise is a clown but a really unconvincing one.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:People are really reading into the very, very little we've seen of Pennywise. I have minor reservations, but I think it looks great too. That's the way of things. Goons see a little bit and then flip out saying it's trash or the greatest thing ever. It's hilarious seeing it over in Games because if you read the Resident Evil thread it goes from people 100% sure the game is trash and just an Amnesia/Outlast clone to universal praise because it's actually a good and fun game.

Kawabata posted:The trailer(s) is the only thing we can base our opinions on and frankly it looks like poo poo for an IT movie. It would probably look ok for your run of the mill jump scare horror. Pennywise actor's too young, tries too hard, and the scene with him spinning out of the water screaming is just silly. So the what combined three minutes of scenes of the clown cut by the marketing department not the director is enough to confirm the movie is bad and It is a terrible try hard clown? Because that makes perfect sense. They don't have any reason to show Pennywise not looking evil because drat near everyone knows It as "the evil clown movie" (I've never met anyone irl who calls it a miniseries) so they're showing the evil clown

Nroo posted:This new Pennywise fits that description pretty well. And the trailers show they're doing the opening scene where he tries to lure Georgie into the sewer. What's so confusing? The trailers aren't showing Scary Clown Movie as Happy Clown Movie With A Twist it sounds like

Kawabata posted:The way the main character (one of the most iconic characters in the entire horror genre) looks obviously has to do with the tone of the new movie and isn't inconsequential at all. It's glaringly obvious that they went for a darker, younger look and I doubt it's because "a multi-colored suit wouldn't film well". It would totally film well in a movie that doesn't look this grim. Yes because from the multiple seconds of video we've seen we can extrapolate that he has a murder face on 24/7. I'm going to start using that for comedy movies. "Oh the trailers made me laugh so this movie is a non-stop laugh riot!" since that is pretty much your argument right now

In the book he did it with his weird otherwordly magic (Georgie) and by just straight up going murder beast on every other one we were given details on. There was no luring of Eddie Cochran he just showed up as his dead brother and ate him. There was no leadup for Patrick either just one day he opened the fridge and got eaten by leeches. Hell the only time he didn't go straight to murderbeast that I remember was Ben and even then he wasn't a happy clown. He had no shadow and was holding balloons that flew against the wind.

BiggerBoat posted:No, there aren't. But it's gotten to the point where Curry's performance has cemented the character as much as King's novel so people have forgotten what they read. I just finished the book and I couldn't remember any other than that. Does he show up as a clown and not murder people? Yes but at no point are any of the descriptions favorable that he's a good happy thing. There's that flashback photo where the description says the kids are staring at him like they're afraid while adults ignore him. Ben seeing him on the ice with no shadow holding balloons that float against the wind. The bit about that gun fight where multiple people reported seeing a clown only they all saw him in different places and in varying states of  I believe one of them said he was leaning out of a window shooting guns at the baddies only he was hanging out the window from the knees up and not casting a shadow.I'm honestly not sure where happy venus flytrap clown is coming from.

Spite posted:The director said they aren't showing pennywise much until the last 3rd of the movie and they are emphasizing the shapeshifting (and he'll have more than one voice). It means he's a lying liar because the movie is a slasher flick about a clown  But serious post I'm super excited to see this and I really wish I could get the girlfriend to go but she refuses.
