I'm not looking at my copy of "It" now, but I remember it being pretty heavy on profanity, as King has been frequently with younger characters. Is it that you think the script changes this to use more profanity in a way that doesn't work, or that you think the book made the wrong call for the characters and the script should have changed the language?
The New Kids on the Block parts were pretty important to establishing Ben's character, and the use of a song and some references were funny.
I just got back from it (It), too, and that was my experience. I was entertained and the theater was very full, especially for a Thursday night. There was a lot of positive reaction from the audience and I'm looking forward to the next installment.
I enjoyed the book a lot, and I appreciated that they tried to do an adaptation with the TV miniseries, but it was never a keeper for me. I really enjoyed this newest adaptation and am looking forward to the second part.
Definitely. At times I forgot that he wasn't truly some cunning, avaricious lord of an unknown land that they just shipped in to play the part.
It might have an overlapping audience in that both feature a group of young friends who are somewhat geeky losers who investigate strange events and disappearances in a small town.
For myself, I really hope he doesn't. I was kinda fond of Jorah at first, but for some reason he's started to grate on me a little. I usually go for the super loyal, unrequited types, but something in me just wants him to wake up, have some self-respect, and move on. I'd be OK if he sacrifices himself for her cause, but not if he actually made a play for her by challenging Jon. That would say to me that Daeny doesn't get a say in who she's with--it's all up to guys fighting. She's the Queen, she's her own woman, she chooses what she thinks is best.
We have a bet in our house that they won't bring back just any wight down South to convince Cersei. It needs to be someone she recognizes, so she can't deny what's happening. Our nomination for that, sad though it is, would be the Hound if he's changed during a confrontation with them. (And he can still fight Frankenmountain then.)
I think you need to look into the Cineworld unlimited plan if you're dropping that much each time you go to the movies.
Yay! How often do we both get to be right on the same thing, especially on the internet? LOL
So now we just get to wait and watch to see if any of Gendry's smithing potential actually gets utilized. :-)
I confess I didn't go back to earlier episodes but did an online search, but that's what I found:

Those weapons, dragons, and dragonglass will certainly be great weapons for any upcoming fight.
In terms of Gendry's smithing abilities, that's always good to have on hand, but my understanding specifically in regards to Valyrian steel is that you have to be uber talented and with a ton of experience to be able to reforge it. However! Since it was Tobho Mott who did that with Ice, to create Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper, and Mott was Gendry's master, there's a reasonable trail of breadcrumbs to indicate Gendry might be able to work with Valyrian steel.
Reforging Valyrian (sp?) steel could come into it also. I don't know that he has quite the expertise you're supposed to need to work with it, but that's a possibility in terms of wight weapons.
Oh geez. Well, it's always a good question, but in this case I'd say that it wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable. And the early stuff is amazing!
True story. Friend of mine runs a comic book /used bookstore. His son is a huge Robin Hood fan and they requested for his wedding that the DJ play the theme from Robin Hood for the bride. As in "Everything I Do" by Bryan Adams.
Oh no. She got THIS theme because the DJ was so old it was the only Robin Hood theme he knew about, so that's the track he dug up. (But hey, it was a lot more memorable than Bryan Adams in this case!)
You're very welcome!
You're welcome--enjoy!
Agreed! I'd at least give him all the time he wanted to pitch his ideas, LOL.
I don't think there was anything deliberate to it, but the actress (Sasha Alexander) playing Isles was married briefly when she was younger and it was annulled before she later remarried. It's not really a case of fiction mirroring life, but it's always interesting to spot little moments that have echoes in real life.
Thanks! I remember at first I really wasn't sure what was going on, but then something just hit my funnybone. Now I'm sure to check in with teh forum every few days. Charles's Trick Rib, lol, Shady Caroline...I think my favorite was Charles working at McDonald's and giving life lessons.
