In a gang bang, the guys will get it on with the girl one at a time. In a reverse gang bang its multiple girls taking turns with one guy. More orderly I suppose? In an orgy multiple people are getting it on simultaneously and swapping partners or having threesomes, foursomes, etc. More of a free for all.
Watched it today, it was better and Bill Skarsgard was a creepier Pennywise. But, considering the subject matter, it's a book that probably never be done to the point that it does the book justice.
So as I posted above, it was better than the one with Tim Curry. But I found it be lacking, it seemed to be rushed. But then again the book is too massive to ever include the 1958 and 1985 story lines. There wasn't any part of the movie that actually scared me or even freaky. I did find when Georgie did a bit sad, and laughed out loud during the garage scene. My favorite lines in the movie: Beverly: "I want to show you guys something" Richie: "More than you showed us at the quarry?" And most of Richie's lines were great, along with Eddie's responses. I've probably read the book 20+ times since I first read it when it came out. So in my mind, I've pretty much already pictured all the characters in the book. And unless I find people that look and act how I pictured them, the characters in a movie will never fit in with what I have imagined. Yet, the characters in this fit what I imagined better than the previous adaptation. The actress who plays Beverly actually is pretty close to what I pictured. Another thing that I did pick up on, is a lot of Easter Eggs from the book were in the movie. One was when Eddie goes to the house on Neibolt Street, he walks past a church that you hear gospel music coming from. That was a detail in the book. There was also a reference to the Bradley Gang as well. And they were totally checking out Beverly.
I re-watched the miniseries yesterday, and the new one slaughters it. The main cast of the old one is all right, but the acting on all the side characters is total dogshit. Everyone's great in the new one. The only thing the new one doesn't blow away is Tim Curry. But Skarsgard is great and iconic in his own way. Skarsgard Pennywise belongs up there with Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Pinhead, etc.
The real mountain to climb will be making Chapter 2 good. The adult half is boring in the miniseries, and the book. The book mitigates the adults being boring by blending their story with the kids in flashbacks jumping back and forth. They're gonna have to cast the shit out of Chapter 2. And focus on the origins of Pennywise more. Pennywise's true self in the book is like Gozer meets Dormammu from Dr. Strange. They have the effects for that now, they need to go for it.
One a related note, the girl who used to cut my hair posted on Facebook that she pulled out the hardcover copy of It that she picked up at Goodwill several years ago and saw that it's a first edition/first printing. She paid $1.99.
Saw it (no pun intended), pretty creepy. I like it better than the Minnie series, lots of good jokes, but not as scary as I thought it would be. Not, disappointed though. Worth seeing in theaters.
Why is this doing so well yet The Dark Tower was a complete bomb? They both have Stephen King's name attached. Maybe horror does better than generic action adventure. It is getting close to Halloween as well. I generally don't care for horror but I do remember the miniseries (mostly because of Annette O'Toole) so this has me intrigued. I was also interested in Dark Tower but the bad reviews turned me away. Maybe this was recieved better because it was a more faithful adaptation.
Dark Tower wasn't bad, it just didn't live up to its full potential. It was T2 with magic, when it should have been Lord Of The Rings with guns. It didn't deserve the hate it got though. You should have checked it out.
Caught it yesterday, afternoon viewing so only a few in and I was on my own for a while. Kind of made me wish I'd dressed up as Pennywise and hid in the back for an appropriate moment to cause someone to shit their pants. I enjoyed it, it reminded me a little of the 70's and 80's movies like Star Wars and Raiders where they took the time building the world, so it stood out as being comparatively slow. Pennywise was wonderfully creepy, but I only jumped once when Pennywise took Bev. And given how slow the build up was, I was kind of surprised they didn't deal with the kids' bodies. A couple left a little bit before the end, I'm assuming they were disappointed at not getting the gang bang
I'm neither a horror nor King fan, but the girl I went with is. Wasn't bad...even kind of does a fourth wall thing with obvious movie tropes (like the black kid being the one saying "hell, no"). I liked that they've split it up into only being the kids' story this round and saving the adult story for the sequel. Far more coherent. interestingly enough, the TV version was 27 years ago.
IT just broke Exorcist's domestic box-office record. As an atheist, I say "good!", with a Grumpy Cat face.
True. Adjusted for inflation, The Exorcist took in close to $1 billion ($983 million to be precise, according to BoxOfficeMojo) in domestic sales alone.
Sorry, but possession takes precedent over creepy clown. The Exorcist scared the shit out of me and so did It, but The Exorcist is just a better movie.
The Exorcist is pretty damn good, and a deeper movie than a lot of people give it credit for. One of my favorite bits of dialog is between Father Karras and Father Merrin: What the demon is doing to Regan isn't targeting her; it's targeting us.
See, I'm weird when it comes to horror. Monsters and such, creepy clowns in this case, don't bother me. Movies like Seven bother me because I've met people like that. Psychopaths exist. I was interviewing a guy one time and his voice dropped about three octives. He made eye contact and said that the only reason he hadn't killed me was the Angel standing behind me with a sword.
