LOL... of course I'm being sarcastic. I'm not actually hoping for a teen kid orgy. It was weird enough in the book. [Reply]

I like it, not as good as Chapter One but still good and better than the TV version from the 90s. It went on a bit too long, not bad for a first viewing but could hurt repeated viewings. [Reply]
I found it boring. Special effects were good. It just drug on and on. Seemed like they went in with the idea of we are making a 3 hour movie. Not that it became a 3 hour movie naturally. [Reply]

I think King admitted he was coked out when he wrote it and regrets writing it. [Reply]

Spoiler!
They could have cut out the Ritual of Chud and saved us 45 minutes or so.
Had some acquaintances play a trick on their kids.
16 year old girls went to see the movie. The moms tied red balloons to their cars when they were at the movie and stayed and watched them freak out when they hit the parking lot. [Reply]

Fear of demonic clowns or terror at the thought of a resurgence in
80s Kraut Pop?

I wasn't aware there was hype about his performance.
I usually avoid all trailers and discussion of movies I plan on seeing until after seeing them. I only saw it last night. I just found him immensely entertaining in the movie. Apparently I'm not alone. [Reply]

There's been a ton of hype, and he did do well but the movie itself sucked ass. Can't believe I wasted good money and time going to the theater for this. [Reply]
