OK, so before I drop this, I'll just say that knowing who the kids will become and how they are wounded and damaged as adults enriches their story immensely while it unfolds. It also let's you know that it's not going to be over with the kids. They are not going to vanquish this thing. Finally, if you tell their

Indeed, see my other needlessly histrionic comments about this. Of course I'll probably see it anyway. I'll just grumble.

No cable.

I was just about to go there. King hated Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining, so there is no accounting for taste.

Do you mean famous or infamous?

Huh. I thought the reason why the town was so unusually rotten and evil was because It was there (Pennywise, again, being just one form of It). It imbued and enabled the abusive father, the sociopathic teenager, etc. It kept people from recognizing how unusually horrible their town was, kept the Today show cameras

I was trying to explain to my 14 year old the other day how awesome "Night Court" was (it was referenced on "30 Rock"). I don't think she got it. It's kind of hard to capture the complete fabulousness of Anderson. I kept adding things like, "oh, he juggles, did I mention that?" She was not impressed.

The idea of separating the two stories (children and adults) completely turns me off to the project as a whole. This was one of my biggest complaints about the miniseries. This is not a story about a monster. It's a story about the magic and imagination of childhood, and its loss as an adult. It's about everything we

I guess Barrymore is not to everyone's taste (not meant as a joke). I find her line readings really entertaining and unexpected. It's like she is never in quite the same scene as the rest of the cast. I can see how that does not appeal to everyone, but I think it works for the types of projects she's in.

Argh. I think that's a mistake. The two stories work best in parallel.

What I particularly did not like about the mini-series is the way they separated the stories of the children and the adults they grew into. The intertwined structure of the book, where the stories were told in parallel worked really well. (I read it about 30 years ago, but I am pretty sure I remember the structure

Sure, read it.

Just what I was thinking. I never understood why the heck he wrote that. I think we can safely assume that there is no way to legally film or show it (even in simulation), and certainly not for an R or PG-13 rating.

Yeah. It's good King, which I define as "King before King was nothing but standard King tropes".

Just checked IMDB, and as far as I can tell, there is no one cast to play the adult versions of these characters. That seems like an issue.

That actor is 30 years old. I would have gone with 15.

He may be a really nice, funny guy. Looks-wise, he's no better or worse than many. Being nice and having a sense of humor are very appealing qualities in a man. In the end, you just don't spend enough time having sex for that to be a big factor in anything.

Idiocracy.

He was great in "Idiocracy".

Skin color didn't match, but I distinctly remember prior to the woge one person commenting (maybe Wu) that the legs were different lengths, and they looked like different lengths in the video. One way or another, why use legs from different donors?
