The earlier drafts tried SO damned hard to skirt around that scene while keeping its core. Beverly was afraid them drifting apart after dispelling IT the first time would make them lose their special abilities, namely Eddie’s navigation powers. So she did...that, in hopes of strengthening the bond.

Fukunaga’s script was...not good. It took a LOT of rewrites to hammer what he envisioned into something palatable. And in all seriousness, the leaked script from earlier this year is pretty much the strongest King adaptation so far.

From what I’ve read, he switches rapidly between being a childishy insane cartoon character to an eldritch, ever hungry monster. There’s a few...left turns this movie takes.

He was scary at first, but changes tact as soon as he starts speaking.

If the script I’ve read is correct, this is typical trailer problems. Yes, Pennywise is freaky when he first shows up with glowing eyes, but just like in the book, he quickly charms Georgie with a playful, almost childish personality. That’s the point: We as adults can see through this. Even in the book, even without…

Wow. This is so bad it actually gives me a headache. The ramifacations here are mind bogglingly bad. Someone stuff that lawyer’s shoe in their own mouth before they do any further damage.

Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance could all have easily been mainline numbers, and I’m almost 100% certain Birth by Sleep was intended to go to the PS2. The problem is getting executives to give the green light for a project’s size. There’s a big appeal in mobile gaming: They need fewer resources, and thus, take…

This isn’t just a Square problem. I’m seeing it with a lot of Japanese companies. They seem to think they can continue with the old fashioned “Shut up, and do what we say without question” business model, and its making developers leave them like rats off a sinking ship. Square has been steadily bleeding lead…

At this point I really wouldn’t be surprised if Nomura joined the growing list of A list directors that just goes “Fuck you ____” and leaves Square. They’ve allowed 10 years of people dragging Nomura’s name through the gutter, without confirming or denying whats exactly went wrong during Versus development.

So in terms of cultural ownership, Disney can kinda do whatever they like. Mind you, I do want to see more positive Middle Eastern rep because dear god our country needs a reminder that they ARE human over there, and over here in the U.S as well. But I’m not gonna use this as the hill to die on in terms of the…

Just gonna leave a little PSA here: Aladdin was not a part of the original Arabian Night’s collection. It was adapted by French author who heard it from a Syrian story teller, and the story is set in a vague location somewhere in China.

It gets even odd when you actually know that the story wasn’t part of the original 1,000 Arabian Nights text, was written by a french author, and is set in China.

Will Smith seems to be at his best when he’s

Disney is going to be looming over his shoulder every step of the way to make this a musical.

Isn’t that the best thing though? It leaves it open to be a little more of its own thing. Beauty & The Beast was nice, but it was ‘nice’ in that sort of “Hey you did your best” that a film tends to be when it’s trying to emulate something already done so well, and has practically crystalized itself in the pop…

Except Eddie Murphy only acts with Eddie Murphy these days so uh..

Honestly, given our history, creepy white guys like this are the ones we should be afraid of. Before 9/11, pretty much the worst acts of terrorists were commited by white dudes between 18 and 45. Then somehow we forgot all about lil ole Timmy in favor of the Muslim Boogieman, ignoring fairly recent history.

Unless Trump is nailed with treason, impeachment just means that Pence takes over, and so on down the line. The only way to undo current damage and prevent future damage is to completely clear out Trump’s entire cabinet, and the majority of Republican influence as a whole. It’s impossible. We’re screwed.

Yeeesh. And to think my gen (Millenial) are called entitled. These babyboomers and early Gen X’s are acting like spoiled children these days. These are the guys throwing temper tantrums that they’re not allowed to get away with this shit anymore.

This...isn’t a common form of prostitution. I’d dare say this is fanciful.
