For the love of god, do not go see IT

I wasn't planning on it, but I hear that Mother might be the worst movie ever made...



I guess that gets Warren Beatty off the hook. :cool:

Truly?? I’ve been so looking forward to it.

I wasnt looking forward to it but I had to see it.

I've read the book, watched the mini series. If you have done either, run like hell.

If you go into it thinking it might be like a d-grade horror film directed by the Wayans brothers, then you might go ok.

Girl who went with me said when you get to realizing theres no plot, its not scary anymore. (She'd read IT too)

I didn't think it was that bad, but it wasn't very good.

I was a little bit disappointed that the Paul Bunyan statue didn't come alive like it did in the book. It's just as well, though, because it looked stupid. The real Bangor Paul Bunyan statue is kind of hot.

Ha, I thought of you during it too.

Possibly wouldnt have seemed so bad if the Jigsaw preview wasnt on right before it, or the masses of 20 year old idiots laughing at every shitty Richie joke (that noone said Beep Beep, Richie too either)
 
Just do IT.

(IT is Information Tech, y'know.)

Old version: Just Deww It. (Mountain Deww)

Or do ITT (International Telephone and Telegraph). Zap!

Oh. This is about some TV thang. I don't do TV. I read the S.King book long ago, during a period of drink-and-drugs, so I don't remember it much, like fucked-up S.King doesn't remember much either. He sez he doesn't recall writing CUJO -- too wasted. This implies that one should be totally mentally fucked before exposing oneself to King. IT is no exception. Drink this. Inhale this. Snort this. Have fun. Watch for clowns. Especially those with orange hair.

Re roadside giants: We have one of those at a highway intersection downhill. We call him the Big Dummy. Driving directions: "Yah, yer going up 88, and ya haven't reached WalMart yet, so turn left at the Big Dummy, go past the railroad graveyard, and you'll be on the right road. The taco truck just past 49 is pretty good. But gas is overpriced. Keep going and you'll be at the Indian casino in no time. Be sure to lose lots of money."

Hmmm. I don't go to the theater a lot to see movies, but I was considering going to see this one having grown up a King devotee.

I haven't been to a movie theatre forever either, odd since it was kind of a thing to do growing up in the 80's. The movie theaters now seem really nice comparably too.

They used to do something called Midnight movies back where I grew up in Ohio

Show starts at Midnight and it was usually Led Zeppelin Song remains the same , Pink Floyd the Wall, Monty Python and the Holy grail ( couple other Python movies )
Or the Rocky Horror picture show. They usually cycled through all these over and over.
Kind of a neat thing to do when you were 13-16

Back in the early 1970s the Mitchell Bros theater (yes, THOSE Mitchell Bros) in San Francisco hosted a Wednesday Midnite Nickelodeon. Admission: one nickel. Content: experimental fuck-flicks by rad filmmakers. Mad copulations and visualizations. Weird. No commercial potential. Yeah, they checked ID, so no 13-yr-olds got in. Sorry, kid.
 
Someone told me today it's already out ranked The Exorcist as highest grossing horror film. Was a bit gutted. :(

Sounds pretty wild LOL
 
I didn't much care for IT either. I just didn't think it was scary and I was getting pretty bored after a while. Too much CGI. Steven King writes great stories, but they really need to be read, not watched, to fully enjoy them.
 
I thought it was great.
Hardcore shit goes down before the title pops up.
The child actors did a great job.

It got great reviews.
It's currently at 84% on Rottentomatoes.

It also made a buttload of cash.
It opened to over $180M globally.
It's made $823M so far.

Already has part 2 dated to open September 2019.

Read the book twice, second time on Kindle so it's still sort of fresh.
The movie didn't scare me, but I chalked that up to the mood I was in. I thought Pennywise was played pretty well.
You might find this humorous: I stepped into the theatre moments after it went dark. I took the seat I knew was empty right on the aisle almost exactly as the movie started, thinking there were four or five people in my row and perhaps 70 or so people in the audience.
As time went on I realized there was no one in my row. And when the lights went up after "It," I realized I was the only person in the theater.
Kind of creepy.
That's what you get on an early Tuesday afternoon in a smallish city with an eight-screen cinema.
 
I thought it was well done. NOt thrilled they made it a two part cash cow, but I liked it.

Like the Tim Curry version they left out Stephen Kings under age gang bang he wrote because he's a sick fuck and a pedo and the movies prove there was no need for it other than the ones I just stated.
 
My mom and I both were big Stephen King book fans back in the 70's and 80's.

She's 87 now with moderate dementia. Not sure what I was thinking, but I took her to see IT last weekend. We sat in the wheelchair row, which was really, really close when watching on an IMAX screen.

She LOVED it!! I got a violent headache and had to excuse myself for part of the film (but of course couldn't leave).

I will be adding horror movies to the genres of films that I take her to (Disney and other children films). But I think I'll skip the sequel to IT.
 
I haven't seen it, but I've read more than one review that said that this version of IT was obviously inspired by / riffing on Stranger Things.

I found that kinda weird, given that when Stranger Things came out, many felt Stranger Things was kind of what would happen if Stephen King and Steven Spielberg had themselves an 80s lovechild.

I've been disappointed in more King inspired movies than I've been pleased, but I'll probably still go see IT once the crowds quiet down.

My fave King-based Hollywood flicks are his less horrifying stories, Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me.

This.

I have not seen "IT" yet. I'm not a big go to the theater to see a movie person anymore. I am interested in seeing it when it comes available for streaming. I've read the book and watched the mini-series when I was a kid and I liked it then. I don't expect "IT" to be Citizen Cane, but when I do see it I expect it to at least hold it's own with the other big popcorn movies this year.

But yeah, the box office intake was a shot in the arm for how anemic Hollywood has been since July.

Just look at the weekly top box offices since then:

July 28:
#1 Dunkirk WB $26,611,130 (second week in release)

August 6:
#1 The Dark Tower Sony $19,153,698

August 11:
#1 Annabelle: Creation WB (NL) $35,006,404

August 18:
#1 The Hitman's Bodyguard LG/S $21,384,504

August 25:
#1 The Hitman's Bodyguard LG/S $10,262,619

Sept. 3:
#1 The Hitman's Bodyguard LG/S $10,536,010

September 8:
#1 It WB (NL) $123,403,419

September 15:
#1 It WB (NL) $60,103,110

September 21:
#1 Kingsman: The Golden Circle Fox $39,023,010



"Beauty and the Beast" (yeah, go figure) and "Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2" are the only movies to have bigger openings than "IT" in 2017. That means "IT" beat both "Wonder Woman" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming".

Not only that, but with "IT"'s second week intake of $60 million, excluding it's first week numbers, you have to go back to the weekend of July 7 when "Spider-Man: Homecoming" opening weekend got $117 million to get a weekend that went over $60 million.

This movie won't save Hollywood though. The industry is changing and nothing can stop that.
