middle girl LT is watching right now and im sat here like a fecking clown waiting to go and pick her up so i cant have a glass of wine

:bored:

I saw this earlier, it was brilliant. Anyone who's read the book, there are loads of little "callbacks", like streetnames and posters you didn't realise you remembered, if that makes sense? It felt like the Derry from the book, fersure.
It was effectively scary too. It wasn't just jump scares either!

Seeing it thursday

I'll chip in to the "old movie" thing - watch the first half. As individuals the adult actors are fine, but they're just not as interesting to watch as the kids. Maybe it's the writing in the first half, maybe there was more going on, maybe the kids just had better chemistry together than the adults,but the second half is just boring.

Seeing it monday

Perched to watch this on Wednesday.

Saw earlier, absolutely brilliant. As terrifying as it is hilarious in parts, the kids are awesome, Bill is awesome as Pennywise. Just so, so good!

All I'm gonna say: the projector scene. Omg, the whole audience SCREAMED!

The ushers in the cinema were dressed as IT and people were absolutely petrified, was awesome.

wow can't wait to watch this now

Saw this earlier and it was FANTASTIC. No other words. Can't remember the last time I enjoyed any film as much as I did this.

It wasn't even necessarily very scary, but it was packed to the brim with charm and The Losers were cast perfectly (and don't even get me started on Pennywise).

My only criticism is that the film was too reliant upon CGI-scares and some of those scenes felt too abrupt with not enough mystery or build-up, but everything else was brilliant. Extremely well acted and a great script. The chemistry amongst the actors was magnetic, and probably the best part about the movie.

I agree re the chemistry

Yeah even if you don't find it scary you cam appreciate it as a good film, like all Seven have their own little character arcs and shizz

A few of the girls said it was ****e so idk whether to see it or not

I'd see for yourself tbh

Reviews have been outstanding

"Produced by Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, the adaptation of Stephen King‘s thriller scored $117.2 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend and another $62 million overseas for a total global start of $179.2 million.

The movie smashed records for the biggest box office opening ever for the month of September — and has one of the largest openings of the year. It also surpassed 2011’s Paranormal Activity 3 for the largest opening day for a R-rated thriller, and had the biggest start for any King adaptation (which includes films like Carrie and The Shining)"

Just see this.

First film I've watched in ages that genuinely creeped me out. Like proper unnerved me. It's a great film. Cast were fantastic, Bill was fantastic.

can someone spill the tea on this projecter scene i wanna know

The way you just explained that did no justice whatsoever

I don't want to fall flat when he sees it for reals, so I aimed for blandness!

You succeeded

I remember when I first read the book I kept having dreams you had to do the Ritual of Chud to get rid of household spiders.....

THE Projector Scene, full screen it and put headphones in for full experience ha:

i had quite bad nightmares last night(nothing really IT related, mind) and I didn't sleep well at all :worry:
