I agree. I was very upset because there were a lot of key scenes that were not showed in the film. For example, the part where Beverly and Bill showed they still loved each other while they were adults. I saw the movie before the film and personally I had no idea that they still had feelings for each other, only in the book did I realize that. I thought they put way too much emphasis on Pennywise and not enough in the “Loser’s Club” or their feelings toward each other.

I think a remake would be awesome. The mimi series is a classic. I was so scared of clowns when it came out, that it actually took me years to fully watch it. Now its a movie that I watch 2-3 times a year. I just think that if there is gonna be a remake, Tim Curry will have to play Pennywise… there is no way that anybody could ever make a better Pennywise.

The Mist was one of the most horrible movies I’ve ever seen. True to the book iirc, but gah that ending made me want to blow my brains out.

yeah the miniseries of The Shining was great. Had that blonde hottie instead of Olive Oyl. I stopped believing Kubrick was a genius a long time ago. He’s no Aronofsky.

they changed it in the original movie, to ‘when your down here with me, you’ll float to!’

it really annoyed me cause its better in the book!

Really liked the first half of the book, but didn’t like that much what becomes of the ‘changed’ in the second half. Can’t be compared to IT of course.

Unfortunately that one seems to be directed by Eli Roth. Hope he changes his mind here and someone else will do the job.

good point.
loved shawshank. forgot it was king.
stand by me was good.
absolutely hated the shining. in fact hate every kubric film i’ve ever seen. and i never saw carrie.

i guess i i’ve seen a lot of king film that appear to be “made-for-tv”

i actually thought the mist was one of the best horror movie of this generation….it made u feel hopeless, but i do agree the original short story was better, i would love to see a short based on the monkey as well..
