Stephen King spent decades insulting Kubrick’s film.
Now, in 2019, we get a reference to “The Shining” in “IT Chapter 2” AND a full-blown sequel with Mike Flanagan’s “Doctor Sleep”.
Moral of the story: King doesn’t have a clue about movies.
No, there’s a bunch of computer animated junk ... way more than the first film.
“Ready Player One” was scarier.
Yep.
In the book, IT killed the gay guy (described by Mike as “a child-like man”) on the anniversary of IT’s murder of Georgie. They mention there is deliberate synchronicity between the new wave of murders and the Loser’s era.
In the movie, presumably there’s some kind of symbolic connection between IT killing the gay guy due to IT failing to kill gay Richie back in the day.
I’m probably reading too much into the lousy script of this film, though LOL
No, dude.
The kids defeating IT in the miniseries was handled better than the film, despite the vastly lower budget.
The miniseries didn’t reduce Beverly to a damsel-in-distress or turn the defeat of Pennywise into a one-sided curb-stomp.
Dude, what are you talking about? Stop trying to make a bad movie more sophisticated than it actually was.
This film sucked. Deal with it.
LOL!
Seriously?
His mother was obviously an illusion.
How is that confusing?
LOL
Yes, It did.
LOL
It’s [b]extremely[/b] obvious that Richie was a closeted gay man and in love with Eddie.
Whereas Eddie was married to a woman and gave no indication that he was gay.
No, [b]Filmbarf[/b]...
It kills Adrian Mellon on the anniversary of Georgie’s death in the books. The new cycle of murders are meant to mirror the old ones that the Losers interrupted when they were children.
In the [i]film[/i], they imply that It kills Adrian Mellon because of the synchronicity of Richie being gay.
The murder also establishes the homophobia in Derry, which is why Richie is closeted about his sexuality.
“On here”?
Bro, this isn’t IMDB.
It’s just a forum that leeches off IMDB.
Yep, this sucked
I’m only watching this because of Koskinski.
“Oblivion” was awesome, as was “Only The Brave”.
That scene is straight from the book.
I thought the gay guy making Meg Ryan jokes as he was being beaten (which doesn’t happen in the book) and the way the homophobes were gross-looking weirdos (they were just red necks in the book) was too much, though.
IMO, Stephen King’s book is actually kind of homophobic by today’s standards.
That’s three things.
1) No
2) That may have been an identity used by It at some point
3) It arrived in a meteor ... it is a creature from another dimension. The Dead Lights are the true form of the creature - the Clown is only a physical body created by people’s fear.
Just like Nightwing, Azrael and Jim Gordon took over as Batman, now Batwing might.
How is that “blackwashing”?
What an idiotic word and post, and totally off-topic to this forum.
