BiggerBoat posted:Visually, I keep picturing the ending to Altered States for some reason and think that approach might work out. Or something like the end of Terminator 2 where when the liquid terminator dies and he keeps morphing into all these weird shapes and personas of the people he's mimicked and "IT" just keeps doing crazy poo poo like that in the final battle; growing prior victims as legs and having their heads be his eight eyes. I'm blanking on the ending of Altered States. It's his ex-wife joining him or whatever?

Maybe I'm just biased in Muschetti's favor because it obviously looks great. But even the tenor and rythym of the dialogue sounds like reading King. As someone who isn't even the biggest fan of the book, I'm surprised how taken I am by it, especially contrasted with The Dark Tower.

Nroo posted:So is Mama any good? I'd never heard of Muschietti before this but everything in these trailers has looked very promising. Though I'm sure Chung Chung-hoon's cinematography helped a lot.. I don't care if I'm alone in this but Mama is one of my favorite horror movies from the last decade.

Nroo posted:Would you mind selling me on it? I've been only getting mixed reactions otherwise. Without spoiling anything, Mama is a great design and great character, it's rare and a little weird to see a horror movie that's so earnest and sentimental. I can't think of another horror movie that made a crowd audibly go 'aww'.

porfiria posted:It's cool that every piece of the terrifying design has a justification rooted in what turns out to be the pathos of the character. It is a common practice, but usually it's done in a clunkier way (not to say that Mama totally avoids this, IIRC there is at least one scene where the main character goes into town to the local library to get clues about the ghost). The exposition is not necessary in most cases.

Nroo posted:Because the evil clown looks too evil. It's a weird complaint to me because what is the context for clowns for kids growing up in the 90's anyway? No one born past 1977 has ever even seen a clown in person and probably the first time they do it's some poo poo John Wayne Gacy painted.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:People are really reading into the very, very little we've seen of Pennywise. I have minor reservations, but I think it looks great too. I think that's got way more to do with what the modern conception of what a clown is. It's a genie you can't put back in the bottle, no one on earth thinks a clown is anything other than a demon from hell.

Well see, the thing about that is, at no point does Tim Curry's Pennywise seem friendly and funny either. He's totally menacing from the jump.

Len posted:They don't have any reason to show Pennywise not looking evil because drat near everyone knows It as "the evil clown movie" (I've never met anyone irl who calls it a miniseries) so they're showing the evil clown Like...the book and miniseries It are a big part of the reason many assume clowns are evil. Doing the whole "people have never heard of zombie movies in a zombie movie" thing doesn't make too much creative or practical sense.

If they shift the story forward to be set a few decades later than the book is, that pretense makes no sense whatsoever. No child in the 90's thought clowns were charming and funloving.

Because the movie IIRC now takes place in the 90's and not the 60's since the adult portion takes place in the present day.

Let's face it, some things that used to be considered Americana are culturally remote now or have different connotations, like smoking in restaurants.

The main problem is how in the hell you stage an adult "plausibly" luring a child while dressed as a clown. Cat's kinda out of the bag on that one.

porfiria posted:What I'm hearing is that IT should take form of Iron Man. Or, since it's the early 90s/late 80s--the Ninja Turtles. Ironically, the original 'clown sightings' in the early 90's were of stuff like the Ninja Turtles and guys in Bart Simpson costumes kidnapping kids in a van.
