It

Anyone see the new It remake? Thoughts?

I saw it today. I really enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of Stranger Things, which is funny considering one of the kids from that show is in this movie as well.

I heard a lot of people didn't like it, but I really can't imagine why, unless they just didn't know what kind of movie it was an were expecting it to be super scary. I wasn't really expecting that, so I enjoyed it a lot. I haven't seen all of the original, though, to be fair, and the parts that I have seen, I barely remember.

 

I haven't seen IT yet, but I'm unsure I'll like it given my biased in thinking no one can surpass Tim Curry.

 

Yeah, that was the only part of the movie that bugged me. Seemed pretty pointless and most of those jokes weren't funny, in my opinion. I also get a little irked when they have kids dropping the F bomb 24/7. If those kids aren't even old enough to see a rated R movie because there are too many F words, then why is it okay to have them say those words on screen, enough to make the movie rated R? Lol it doesn't bother me all that much, but it seems a little backwards.

Tim Curry is pretty fantastic, that's for sure.

 

Just heard on the radio today that it is really scary and there were reports of heart attacks in theaters.

 

Lol wow, that's crazy. I thought it was scary, but as someone who watches horror movies on the reg, I wasn't really that freaked out by it.

 

Yeah..I'm a little surprised myself. I watch all the hyped up horror movies and haven't been really freaked out by any since "The Ring". There was another one with Liv Tyler that was creepy too. I think it was called "The Visitors". I'm not sure tho..

 

It, looks dumb [to me].

 

Dude you are starting to scare me. And you have not done that, ever.

 

Well it was highly acclaimed among both critics and horror freaks alike.

So you are in the minority.

And as good as this one was, it simply does not beat the original, no offense. Remakes are not usually this well done.

 

Ironically, I watched neither movies. I just think movies and shows that are over exaggeratedly fictitious are dumb to me. The only exception is movies and shows that are based on a true story.

 

Their careers were fucked from the beginning since all clowns just look like the tweaker version of mimes, and everyone already hates mimes.

 

They do sorta look like mimes.
