In the movie? That part is from the book, right? Weird, there's a half-dozen comments on this…someone watch the second VHS from the miniseries and get back to us. Zombie/Sewer-y Pennywise creeping down the stairs a few years after they originally defeat it. Verify this shit, gang!

Yeah, Christ that scene was awful. King is great at putting in little, awful details. Like explaining how his infant brother was farting at he was smothering him. Or describing how Patrick could feel his eyeball fall into itself as one of those leech-mosquito bugs sucked the liquid out.

Well I dont remember that part at all, Sporks. What did Pennywise do in that scene?

Was I making up a part in the IT movie where Richie (?), a few years after killing IT (but before they were adults) gets trapped in a house with a filthy, sewage-strewn IT clown coming down the front stairway to get him?

Solid point. Also love the psychologist talking to Reese and concluding he's crazy, but not some newfound crazy. "Eh, another poor guy about to take the Thorazine train to astascadero. Chinese tonight or what?"

All time "Hey its that Guy!" candidate. I'm glad he had the right approach in Terminator. Particularly the easygoing way Dick says "Oh hey, you can't do tha-" KABOOM!

The Judge isn't there. He's busy dancing. A cowboy walks up to the jakes, and an 'unknown man' tells him not to go in there. The cowboy goes in and is horrified at what he sees, and that is pretty much it. It is completely blank to the reader, although it isn't necessarily the Kid he is looking at; there is also the…

ooo, great question! This is always fascinating because Blood Meridian has no compunctions about indulging in the worst and most vivid violence available, and yet, at the final, the reader isn't allowed to see what 'happened'.

This movie has an unreasonable fixation with, and plot-twists regarding, Quaalude pills
.

I read the script for this! The reason he has to play a perfect concert is because there is TREASURE BOX inside the piano that can ONLY be unlocked by a perfect sequence of notes. So, spoilers, I guess.

What was your Fiasco scenario like, Todd? That game, like most serious 'story' games, is pretty far removed from RPGs. You could replace the dice with some other random number generation mechanic and use Fiasco for writers workshops or acting exercises.

Nothing beats Call of Cthulhu!
I'll admit to being the nerdiest of the nerds: A Dungeon/Game Master who spends hours preparing for various outcomes and designing dungeons and villainous schemes. You people who merely ROLL the dice? You don't spend time developing how a fantasy mining operation would operate and how,…

Wow, so this is what it has come to at the AV Club. We've finally opened the door to true nerdery.

Michael Mann wrote some of the script, uncredited, I think. His influence is very obvious when Max is talking to Jenny towards the end and he explains to her what he does and how he won't let it interfere in their lives.

Ridiculously gorgeous and talented. Just watches her in Straight Time, back when Dustin Hoffman gave a shit. She nailed the natural beauty look of late 70s So-Cal.

There's also a lengthy monologue where one of the characters describes sitting in a sports car while his wife fucks the windshield. He likens it to watching a catfish, a bottom feeder, sucking on the glass of the aquarium.
