Yeah, it seems like using the clown completely misses the point of the whole thing if you're setting it in a different time and place. Children and adults are probably just as easy to scare, but children are much easier to handle if they fight back or try to flee, I guess. You'd think adults would taste better. They've had a lifetime of fears and anxiety and have even likely experience some form of existential dread or crisis. Some of them even have deeply ingrained phobias and anxieties that you could exploit to get them to reach a fever pitch right before you feed. Kids would be like eating tatertot casserole; quick, it will technically feed you, really bland, depressing to anyone watching you eat it.

it's because when an adult sees a werewolf or a giant bird they don't think it's real.

I think It was just a lonely, depressed bachelor who didn't want to put any effort or craft into his meals. Maybe if a Ms. It were to crash into his life he'd shape up and long con her a nice meal to bring back to his recently tidied hellbeast lair.

Did you not see how badass and scary and grimdark the clown looks? Do we need to market it more? Pennywise merchandise months before the movie is even done? Maybe entire trailers based around the clown. to be fair when i was a kid, i was terrified of pennywise and chuky. Now being on the internet/liveleak/horror movies/video games have desensitized me and probaly alot of other people on here to most horror stuff(at least the basic types)

I want the upcoming Assassin's Creed movie to be good. The games used to be great and then they kind of decided they have absolutely no idea what to do with the modern-day plot. Now the games are on hiatus for a year to ensure the new one doesn't turn out poo poo. They've also got Michael Fassbender really involved in the production of the movie. If it fails, it will mean bad news for the Assassin's Creed brand as a whole. I'm curious how it's all gonna turn out.

They have no idea what to do with the modern day plot because they fired the guy who was writing it around Assassins Creed 3 So they just went "Ahhh gently caress this future poo poo lets just kill the guy" and welp It's a shame because the Ezio chapters are the most popular in the series

WeaponGradeSadness posted:I'll probably end up watching Ben-Hur because I'm just so desperate for another good Roman-era film that I'll give any old poo poo a watch. I want to believe... If your that desperate, then check out Centurion. Not great, but a decent action flick and Michael Fassbender is pretty good in it. And, as someone else recommended, check out the Eagle, which actually managed to surprise me considering some of the critical reviews it got. By the numbers, but a fun watch. But yeah, sword-and-sandal flicks aren't so hot at the moment. All of the most prominent releases in the past few years have been mediocre to bad. Ben-Hur seems entirely in the latter category. Kind of like how most swashbucklers nowadays aren't just uncommon, but are bad. The Grimace posted:I want the upcoming Assassin's Creed movie to be good.

I think Black Flag is pretty good as far as writing is concerned, at least if you focus on the material involving Kenway, but I agree that the modern stuff is still a bit weak. To be honest, I think that's been the weakest part of the series, beyond how the writers frame both factions, even before Ezio's games wrapped up. Also, I bet Michael Fassbender hopes it's a big hit too since he probably stands to benefit quite a bit from being the start of a big blockbuster.

The only part I really remember years later is Liam Cunningham's death scene and that alone still makes it cooler than 99% of action movies to come out in the last few years.

I lost any hope in the Assassin's Creed movie when I heard they were leaving in the framing story at all, a bunch of peak mid-2000s sci-fi horseshit. Just do a goddamn movie about Ezio doing revenges on his family's enemies and being smug and charming, who gives a poo poo about boring modern day ancestors being plugged into VR chairs playing video games with their DNA and space aliens

I want a proper American remake of Let the Right One In where the main characters are in high school and the vampire is actually a girl and has huge knockers and like 50+ people die and there's a sub-plot about a 5000 year-old global monster hunter society after the vampire which is why she needs a new guardian who is all buff and dangerous now. Also, there's a fight with the vampire, a hunter, a werewolf and a mummy at the end that paves the way for a sequel and a cinematic universe.

Since it's basically the same cast and crew as the Macbeth adaptation, it will at least be very pretty. But you're probably better off just watching their Macbeth adaptation because it's good.

Pennywise should be an animated My LIttle Pony, Adventure Time or Steven Universe-style of character running around in the real world. They stop him by bashing him for being drawn wrong and harass him so much that he just has to drop out of Derry for 20 some years. He's now immune to their criticism as adults because he's a slightly altered DeviantArt original character version of his previous form.

RE new Pennywise I just now bothered wondering why a creature who was around for Elizabethan-era clowns or whatever, and kept around their ruffles and poo poo because it liked them, would live in Maine Did Pennywise used to live in England and come over to America on the Mayflower or something?

The TV movie IT scared the poo poo out of me as a kid. I remember being freaked out walking home through the woods as a kid after watching it at a friend's house, and that was in broad daylight. I like the patchwork aesthetic stuff from different eras on the new costume, but I'm not sure how well it'll work in practice. I hadn't heard that it takes place in present day which eh. Still wish Cary Fukunaga was attached because that guy rules.

IT also identifies himself as Legion and other biblical demons to an old man. IT also has a sort of brain warp over all of Derry. At the end of the novel, as IT is being killed, Derry is being destroyed by a storm. I've read around 400 novels and IT is in my top ten favorite. For the horror stuff but also because of its themes on friendship and memory and childhood. What puts a tickle in my throat is the kids all forgetting each other, remembering when IT resurfaces, and forgetting after he's defeated again. I hope some of that makes it into the new film.

I could see a dude all into paranormal stuff or tied up in Judeo-Christian lore becoming more fascinated than frightened at that point. It would be an advanced level lure. I guess he only does kids, though. Maybe it's just habit. Or was IT saying that he was identified as Legion in the New Testament and not that he was that specific entity?
