It is one of my favorite books. The original TV series was fine… But it could never compete with a book that is 1083 pages. Especially when it’s not rated R.
I enjoyed part 1, even though they changed some stuff. It was creepy. Bill Skarsgaard plays a great Pennywise.
I’m looking forward to it. I think I’ll skip watching any more trailers for it because I know I’m going to see it. No point in any spoilers of what else is changed from the book.
@RiotDemon I read the book, and thought it was pretty good (not my favorite, but a good read). Then, a year later, he comes out with The Tommyknockers, with basically the same premise surrounding the do-bad. To make matters worse, the second book makes a reference to the happenings that occurred in the story/location of It, so the same fictional universe. Come on! Two similar-in-nature but unrelated infestations in a small section of rural Maine? Do they have some kind of landing beacon?
@macromeh that doesn’t bother me. Almost all of his books connect in some way.
I loved the Tommyknockers. It’s up in my top five of his books. The beginning is a little slow with drunk ole gard e gard, but everything else is crazy and I love it.
@RiotDemon Oh… didn’t know it was a part 1. Never watched it. When they said a new IT movie, I was thinking remake. Thought it was a little soon for a remake. Thanks
Meh, are you asking me on a date?
I want to see IT but fuck trailers in general. They ruin the movies high spots.
@rpg714 I’ve never had a trailer convince me that I wanted to see a movie. They just give away huge plot points.
@melonscoop @rpg714 this trailer shows an entire scene… So much for a “teaser.”
Sure, I see almost all the trailers for upcoming movies.

horror movies aren’t my thing.
@jerk_nugget Ditto
I loved the original TV series, but I probably won’t see any of the new movies. They look too scary, and I’m a wimp when it comes to horror.
Didn’t they just recently make the other one?
@lseeber part one was at least a year ago.

Remakes rarely live up to the original. The mystery of the original IT has not been topped.
Wait, another one? I haven’t even seen the first reboot.
@jitc this is part 2.
