One part the new film bungled (and the TV miniseries got much more correct) was how Henry’s friend Vince appears to him and says (and I paraphrase what I remember) that it doesn’t matter for him if the Losers “believe, half-believe, or don’t believe at all” as he can kill them all the same. Meanwhile, the movie in its…

Well, Louis [C.K.] and Roseanne [Barr] are the two people I know. And Roseanne was so broken up [after her show’s reboot was cancelled] that I got Louis to call her, even though Roseanne was very hard on Louis before that. But she was just so broken and just crying constantly. There are very few people that have…

I never got the feeling that this was a town under siege in the movie as opposed to the book. The feeling of dread just wasn’t there at all. Also, instead of a battle over belief (why can none of the adaptations get it right that because they thought they were battling a werewolf, that’s why they thought silver…

Yes exactly! Curry was a clown that might be playing  at a kids party.  Balloons.  Acrobatics. Jokes.  Skarsgard practically had the blood on the last kid he had eaten staining his teeth.  If poor Georgie’s creep meter wasn’t set off by that, he wasn’t going to make it much further in life anyway.  

I agree. I didn’t hate it, but man I just didn`t find it scary. They should have used a lot more practical effects because Tim Curry’s yellow fake teeth keep seeming scarier to me than the CGI teeth that they used in this version. Another thing that made the original scarier is the fact that Pennywise in the original…

“Kai. Buddy. Just an FYI . . . there’s no H.R. department or union rep to save your bacon.”

At no point in the dismissal process will there be employees handing around a “Good Luck” card to sign.  Nor will there be a gathering in the break room to huddle around a shitty sheet cake purchased from the closest grocery store. 

It wasn’t just about stories of random violence so much as it was about Quiz Boy and White having a win in dramatic fashion.

He joined The GCI back in the Season 6 premiere, “What Color Is Your Speedsuit?”, specifically to get revenge on Billy for beating him on a quiz show. He even bribed Watch and Ward to get arching rights for Billy and to use his real name. “Very Lex Luthor!”

I was going to point out St. Cloud arched Billy and Pete before, but that raises the question of what Level that was at before joining the Guild’s Big Villain/Little Villain program. I mean, he sicced Truckasaurus on their trailer HQ while hacking their mainframe! That should count for something!

Posts like this are part of the problem. Even if the US were to become heavily socialist, the success of theoretical socialism would depend upon how good the elected officials regulating it would be. Based upon the country’s track record, I’m not sure I like those odds. Changing systems doesn’t suddenly eliminate the…

So glad to know I don’t exist. I can stop paying all these bills.

I loved it when Pirate Captain exclaimed “JESUS JONES!”

I come from a family in law enforcement so I can kind of speak to this: That kind of thing only happens in movies. Sex offenders don’t have to go door to door and tell everyone they are a sex offender, that’s why the public registry exists. At least, that’s how it works in Michigan. If other places have different laws…

I think it’s worth adding ‘super-genius’ to that as well.

I didn’t think the Peril Partnership plotline was wrapped up at all. Do we even know who is in the PP at this point? And wouldn’t the Guild need to wipe them out still?

I have a feeling we might see S-464's double agent work later on.

To be fair, St. Cloud did come fairly close to killing them (and probably would have, if it weren’t for the Albino Code). Still, yeah, considering that Billy and Pete have seen some shit, their (well, mostly Billy’s) terror at the idea of a Level One Arch did seem kinda out of place. On an unrelated note, I want that…

“You look like a can of Diet Pepsi.”

Honestly, both Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and Billy’s mom being ready to beat a bitch were high points of a fantastic episode.
