I've said it before but my ideal would be like Tom Kenny playing a very guidance counselor like Pennywise. Tom Kenny plays a great clown in Shakes the Clown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnTXyx5zOzE

The scene where they spend a day at the spa and eat ice cream? This has to be some kind of troll. There's no way they'd put the child orgy in the movie.

I am like 90% sure that's a troll and 'that scene' is referring to the scene from the trailer where they're hopping into the river.

Why would a little girl even troll about that? There's nothing about that tweet that isn't deeply unsettling.

Jesus. Since that's made it the elephant in the room once more, has King himself ever offered any comment on the It sewer gangbang? Like "I was really hosed up on drugs, sorry" or "people fail to grasp the metaphor"?

davidspackage posted:Jesus. Stephen King: "I wasn't really thinking of the sexual aspect of it. The book dealt with childhood and adulthood --1958 and Grown Ups. The grown ups don't remember their childhood. None of us remember what we did as children--we think we do, but we don't remember it as it really happened. Intuitively, the Losers knew they had to be together again. The sexual act connected childhood and adulthood. It's another version of the glass tunnel that connects the children's library and the adult library. Times have changed since I wrote that scene and there is now more sensitivity to those issues."

That tweet looks like a photoshop, by the way. Check how the name and the twitter handle are without a space in between. Plus, the @sophialillis account is a fan account if you go check on twitter.

My prediction is that people are going to hate this movie, and the blame will be placed on the departure of Cary Fukunaga as director.

I'm guessing it was just after the scene we saw in the trailer when they're jumping off a cliff into water? Makes sense to me, anyway. I dunno.

They showed some extended clips and a preview of a trailer from IT at SDCC. 1) the Losers taking a swim 2) the Losers discussing Derry's bloody history 3) the Losers saving Mike Hanlon and adding him to the group

So I'm still wondering, is the plan to really make two entirely separate movie or will there be flashbacks, crossovers and some sort of call backs and interconnectivity? The adults aren't in teh first movie at all, right? I could see it working either way but I liked the way the book jumped around between time periods to aid the storytelling. Same with the TV series. I think it works better that way - showing why the grown up characters are the way they are because of their childhoods. I'm reminded of "Sleepers" that similarly dealt with the passage of time and how childhood emotional trauma defines your adulthood and, even in that film, I often got mixed up about which kid was which adult even though they attempted to make it clear. Thinking about "that scene", the smartest way to do it would just be to replace it with a loving, gentle or even semi-passionate kiss at the most and move on. It would still convey the original intended point and I tend to think that's how they'll handle it.

It would still convey the original intended point and I tend to think that's how they'll handle it. The problem with THE SCENE is that even if it isn't meant to titilate, it speaks to a sense of vouyerism that King's narration often takes on. The amount of times a lady's nipples are used to described her mental state across his books is insane. Like a rule of writing should be don't use a lady's nipples to describe her mental state but I think it happens in It at least twice in It. And when that vouyerism is applied to children and he's discussing dick sizes and Bev's orgasms, it feels a little uneasy. But even if the writing didn't represent King's worst impulses, the whole concept of the scene is just kinda lovely in the way that it others Bev from the group. I mean a scene with a bunch of boys lining up to kiss Bev is equally dumb even if it's not as equally gross to watch as THE SCENE as written. A strength that the 90s film had over the book is that the romantic feelings are soley between Bill, Ben, and Bev. And even then, I'd say that I'd prefer Bev's crush to be one sided. Any version of the scene or trying to adapt it ultimately devalues Bev as being truly one of the Losers and not just this girl that they all have a crush on. The blood pack does the job of binding the kids in a way that that treats Bev as part of the group.

It's funny, because Priest is one of the bands that gets mentioned on a marquee as being part of the Monsters of Metal (I think that's what King went with, along with Maiden) concert in 1980's Derry in the book when Ritchie is walking around as an adult. In the 50's, when he meets IT as the statue, it's Buddy Holly and some other band, I think.
