Wait, they gave Karen an office? When was that? Ellison brought her into a back room containing lots of old newspapers to look through. Karen was never officially hired or given an office.

No worries. In adaptations of large books, I actually want longer movies. Even knowing this is part 1 of 2, I would be annoyed if either part was under 2 hours. I believe that if they didn't separate the kids' and adults' stories into separate films and kept them parallel, they could easily make this a trilogy and…

This poor guy. First he had to suffer through "Do The Bartman" being a hit in 1990, and then this!

"He's not dead!"
"No, but his career is. I remember when Al Jolson ran amok at the Winter Garden and climbed the Chrysler Building. After that, he couldn't get arrested in this town."

Now I'll have to wait another ~20 years for a future adaptation of IT that doesn't split it up into "a movie when they're kids" and "a movie when they're adults". One of my favorite parts of the novel is the parallel time periods and how so many things from the past story line up with what happening in the present…

"I can't remember the last time I saw a movie under 2 hours?"

The book is over 1000 pages long. If any movie adapted from a book should be over 2 hours, it's this one.

From what I've heard the story in this movie(s) is not what we read in the books. Considering that the final book ends with Roland starting back again at the start of the first book, this movie is that story. So any changes from the books are because of that. Which fits into the ending that King wrote, and also…

If it felt that way to those that saw it once, think about how long it felt to the guys in that podcast that watched it once a week for an entire year.

"The most frustrating thing about 'Penny And Dime' is the rushed development of Matt and Karen’s romance …" Have you not paid attention to all of Matt and Karen's interactions in season 1, and so far in season 2? How is this rushed?

To show how abhorrent it is?

This a show that says "fuck" and "shit". This is not intended for kids.

In the original origin, Frank and his family witness a mob shooting. Frank (and his wife?) agrees to testify but then his family is killed in retaliation. I don't think Frank is wounded physically, just emotionally

"DD/Matt's sudden semi-acceptance of the Punisher upon locating him didn't make sense to me with the developments that happened earlier in this episode. Sorry, but these guys don't have enough of a history to establish an unspoken gentlemen's agreement situation."

Matt carried him to the elevator, then say the Dogs of Hell in the hallway. He pushed the first floor elevator button to send the elevator down but exited it first where he fought the DoH in the hallway and stairway. When he was downstairs still fighting we saw the elevator door opens and Frank was still inside,…

He couldn't "break" until he had freed the razor blade from his wound. Otherwise he would never have been able to free himself after the bomb went off.

It's the worst adaptation of Night of the Comet I've ever seen.

The story's ending isn't really an ending; King deliberately wrote it as an open-ended story that just kept going on after it was over.

That mall is in Bedford, Nova Scotia, and the rest of the show was filmed in other Nova Scotia towns. Opposite coast of Canada.

Season 1 had an appearance by "Mike Murdock" when Matt first met Claire and didn't want to give his real name.
