I wouldn’t call the closure of one game to make way for another a marketing push. They just timed it so there wouldn’t be a day without Penguins.

Exactly. Also the Curry comparisons are going to be THE hot take for this movie. They needed to have him look completely different.

I wouldn’t look up or read anything about the story. Let it be a surprise :)

So what you’re saying is....they’re splitting the story into two parts.

That is splitting the story into two parts — the book covers both their childhood battle with IT and their adult battle.

Tim Curry is literally the only good thing about the original one.

I think it looks mad good. Tim Curry aside, the original suffers from a lot of 90s awfullness.

I am just about as big a King fan as one can be and I am so totally thrilled with how this looks. I for one love the Edwardian look on Pennywise.

I have never read or seen the original IT (I know, I know, I’m even from Maine where Stephen King reigns supreme!) and the trailer scared the crap out of me.

Even as an adult, I hate scary movies, but I loved It and Pet Cemetery when I was a kid. You couldn’t get me to watch either of those now and I won’t be watching this either. I’m older and more afraid!!

As I mentioned in another thread, I was skeptical—but this looks pretty good, for a teaser.

Thats a rather alternative view of what happened. Jafari tweeted out his support of White Supremacy. A personality from a different medium asked him to come on his show and talk about it where Jafari said even more white supremacist lies and then Jafari on his own Youtube channel double downed on his white supremacist…

And I don’t want to hear a voice that reminds me that the actor thinks my race is inherently violent and criminal.

People don’t want to be reminded of that fuckbag’s opinions every time his character opens his mouth.

Have fun not playing a game you’d otherwise enjoy because its devs don’t want it associated with a racist.

Oh noooooooooo

Hey. Fuck you too.

Association with shitty philosophy?

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.

Counter-point: No it isn’t. This is a reasonable repercussion.
