Someone who knows what they're talking about redpill me on "IT"
Boomer here. I saw IT Chapter 1 last night on DVD (told you, I'm a boomer). I thought it was a well made movie, but I didn't find it particularly scary. I'm 35 now and I've seen a lot of fucked up shit in movies since the original IT, but I remembered the original IT terrifying the fuck out of me with that scene at the sewers.
I don't feel like watching the original again.
So which "IT" was better? Which was scarier?
The miniseries isn't very good, I like Tim Curry but he wasn't really scary as Pennywise. The miniseries was also weirdly literal about some scenes. The movies aren't as literal adaptations but I think feel closer to the book.
Also the kid section of the miniseries is about a million times better than the adult section. This is kind of true for the movies too but the gap is smaller.
It's only scary for kids, but I honestly believe that's a plus
IT in general is not that good and should be relegated to kid horror
>The miniseries was also weirdly literal about some scenes.
Please elaborate
What's some better horror?
The book is a masterpiece.
Sophia a cute.
The worst example I can think of is IT talking to Henry and it's literally Pennywise's face on the moon.
She looked better with long hair.
Rumor is the director went balls deep
Shit taste. Short hair a cute.
>I didn't find it particularly scary. I'm 35 now
If you aren't jaded by 35 you're a fucking retard.
If you expect to be scared or amazed by movies like when you were a kid, you're also a fucking retard.
Long hair a cuter.
Nope.
the minisiers it was scary cause it was subtle and sublime. It didn't try to make pennywise to be scary, they just made him an ordinary clown, and the aggression and fear came from the actors interpretation of the role. It's the way things are suppose to be done, it also might just be luck because the second part wasn't that good. Also the bullies felt more like fucking bullies in a way that they were cool but also fucking violent and hateful.
I've read The Stand and Gerald's Game both were good. The Stand took up some of the best days of my life, I just couldn't put it down.
IT is intimidatingly long. I hate starting books and not finishing them. I actually read the children portion of IT but didn't finish the rest, and now I think I'd have to start over
also you won't find any legit answer of this fucking shithole that is filled with fucking kids who are just starstruck by these kid actors and that is all they care. That is the way of the zoomer.
1990
>50s aesthetic
>Losers felt like real losers
>Derry feels like a real town with real people
>Tim Curry works really well as a vindictive clown torturing these kids even as adults
>Pennywise attacks in broad daylight in public, so the losers have to try and keep their sanity or everyone will think they're crazy, adds to the torture
>The scare moments are simple and largely blood related
>Pennywise is much better at taunting the losers and making them feel unsafe
>Terrible acting all around
2016
>Pennywise does a great job at being a creepy yet alluring clown. He tricks kids into getting close. And he btfos the kids which is how it should be
>Much more focus on the losers themselves
>Great acting
>Derry feels like a background set piece, there are like 3 other characters
>None of pennywises attacks happen where other people could see them, there's only one moment where it's explained that adults can't see it, but they never do anything with it
>Some of the imagery is top notch, like the kids head in the tree in the photo, or pennywises whole biting thing
>Some of the scary moments feel like shlock and deflates the tension. By contrast, the simplicity of 1990 risks less and therefore fails less
>Great character moments and story
>Feels like a coming of age movie
2019
>Great acting again
>Same creepy pennywise, expect way more cgi now
>No other characters in the movie, seriously
>Pennywise doesn't torture the adults so much as goes balls deep all at once and then stops for seemingly no reason
>Pennywise doesn't really taunt them too much
>A handful of good images for scare factor muddled by too much cgi
>Really weird editing
>Is it a comedy? Horror? What is this scene?
>Pennywise doesn't seem like an ever present force, he just shows up when the movie demands
>Again more good character moments, especially bill hader. His "gay reveal" at the end was tasteful.
>Kind of retarded ending but basically on key.
That’s not even how IT is structured.
Yep. She looks like a Boy now. A cute boy, but a boy. Long hair was beautiful.
>bullies
>cool
>henry bowers gang in particular being cool despite being probably the least cool bullies ever
Thanks bruv!
There are still movies that scare me, just not this one. Obviously it's a lot harder now but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen
>Anything by steven king
>A masterpiece
you're not alone user
The 1990 one was basically Stand by Me with monsters, and had more heart.
See I forgot a lot. I just remember watching Chapter 1 and thinking "OK i remember reading this".
I haven't seen chapter 2 but I remember reading that the fat kid becomes some famous actor or tv star? That's all i remember
A Tomboy.
they have leather jackets and and greaser hairstyles, they also play with knives, fucking sharp ones, so what can be more cool than that?
Not jerking each other off in the woods and lighting your farts on fire.
At least pick a decent Stephen King bully like Ace
>Not jerking each other off in the woods and lighting your farts on fire.
all pretty based and funny. Get over yourself you closeted fag.
I'd fucking whisper tenderly in her ear that I love and appreciate her. Then I'd work my way down to her frontbottom, kissing all over. I'd suck and slobber on her sluggy pisswhippets until there was gallons of thick congealed quim paste oozing from her stinky whallop wound. I'd ram my average sized penis in her inviting gowl until I explode a quart of rancid wallpaper paste up the side of her supple bristols. Then I'd cut off her nipples with a penknife and sing the theme tune to Who's The Boss. I wish I could live a languid existence in the puckered folds of her crimpballoon and feast on the sweat from between her peachy fartclappers. I would love to collect a year's worth of oozing churngrool from her piss-stink scrambled fleshflaps. I would use this to drown myself in so that I may be reborn in the bounteous spendings of her hanging slimeslot. I would love to be reborn as her son so I could latch greedily to her bulletnosed floppleberries and drink the sweet titwag manna long into my teens until I had transformed into a large beetle that could scuttle shamefully up her shitsnip and lay eggs in her wondrous bitchwomb. I'd love to seal her heaving, naked form in a large bubble and have her writhe about in distress, begging to be released, but receiving only electric shocks for every time she refuses to wiggle her furry fartbeaver in my direction while I stroke my prick proud. When I cannot take it anymore, I will do a handstand against the bubble, clenching by buttockfundament tightly so as to form a passage that could ice a cake with wet cement. Then I would unleash a fart so pointy that the bubble would pierce as I collapse on my prize as it flails about under a crinkled mass of plastic and I position myself so that I am humping hungrily against her blubbery botrump. I would love to cut off her arsebuttocks and lick her seeping botmuscles. I'd cube the buttockmeat and drizzle with olive oil.

>letting your friend jerk you off
>it was just a joke bro im not gay you're gay why are you bringing up this makes me gay even though you never actually said it did
y-you too.
original film was better film
new film has tho
Yikes.
The 1990 adaptation was an accurate adaptation of the book and was more creepy overall and more subtle with its scares, but it was made on a shoestring budget and the acting was pretty meh.
The 2017 adaptation took more creative liberties when adapting the story, but the acting was quality and the production value was high, but it was less creepy and more overt and brutal in its scares.
TL;DR - I think 1990 was scarier but 2017 was more interesting in different ways.
1990 Chapter 2 was trash though, who boy. 2019 Chapter 2 was clearly better.
>film
Just remember it's official that Pennywise the Dancing Clown was a drider and not a spider. The drider/spider wars are over and spiders lost.
nobody forced anyone, if you don't want to get jerked off don't. But you know deep inside that if you were to be put in that sort of situation you would be attracted to that act, and you would enjoy it. Because you're a homo, a closeted homo.
>you would be attracted to that act, and you would enjoy it
No
>35 yo

new one was better by virtue of not being a 3 hrs long mess with sluggish pacing and terrible actors (only seen part 1 so far). neither is particularly scary. new one has shitty cgi and jumpscares, old one had fucking mummies, wolfmen, and a rottweiler in a clown outfit.
tim curry is a much more entertaining pennywise.
Wait that's not a boomer? What's the boomer age range?
about 30
real life boomers are all 60+ ish
internet boomers are like 30+ ish
hell, im sure some of you kids think 25 is boomer.
>Boomer here.
The cut off for boomers is 1964. You are 20 years off the mark.
It wasn't that scary, though.
for the meme, it's just enough of a generational gap to be incomprehensible to the newest generation
