Good thing then! I remember my wife watched the whole thing but I think I lost interest after the first episode.

Saw the new chapter yesterday and i fucking loved it. They manage to do a very compelling finale even if the source material is very hard to work with.
The cast is insanely good, the practical fx and cgi are also amazing.

Cant wait to see both of them back to back.

yeah, i dont get the reviews. I also dont think the first one is flawless..i would say this one corrects a few thing while still does a few weird choices also....
But the framing is so fucking beautiful, camera movements, set pieces, acting...its all top notch.

I would adore for Muschietti to shoot a nightmare on elm street movie, he is perfect...hell he even shoots a Nightmare On Elm Street 5 sign!!

Im still reeling about last night movie, and this is actually a very good piece on what It really meant too back in the day, and of course these days.

Not sure how old your kid is, but I’d say this one is a bit scarier and tougher than the first
She was 13 when the last one was out. She should be ok.

Stephen King is the most overrated human on earth.

Watching previews in front of this right now. Hope it’s as good as the first one. Also just saw that it’s almost 3 hours long. Jesus Christ.

Spoiler: show
We didn’t seems Eddie’s wife and Bev’s husband team up and pursue their spouses to Derry.
Yeah, i thought it was very weird to leave that out. But still, the book has so many things going on...

We enjoyed it. I really like King making fun of his career-long criticism of not ending books well. I’m glad the interspersed the kids in. It’s been so long since I’d seen the first one I wouldn’t have remembered who was who. Except for the girl and the black kid.
Question:
Spoiler: show
Was the implication by the carved initials that Richie was gay and loved Eddie?
