Did Stephen King pick THIS moment in time to re-release 'It" ??

Seriously.... What is 'IT' ?? What is in the WH ?? Seriously.

1. It's a beautiful metaphor for our fears and insecurities that will hold us back and

Eventually kill us if we let it get the better. And that if we allow these fears to divide us, it will eventually, absolutely take over.

2. It's topical because we have a monstrous clown in the white house, but...

they've been trying to get a feature film version of "It" off the ground since 2009.

3. I guess I'm just not intelligent or smart enough to see it......

I did not enjoy the new "It" at all......JMHO.

[alittlelark]

4. Neither did I, but the Original was.....Scary......

SK is 'off and on' with movies.....

6. Dark Tower was fine, It was a better movie, but nothing incredible

7. Yeah man,

Most of his movies are pretty good, but the made for tv mini series always suck. I'm looking at you, "The Stand"....

12. I think it's because Steven King himself is usually behind the mini-series.

He's a great author but bad at translating them to the screen. The best movies based on his books are done by someone else.

5. It reminded me of the 80s movies, which makes sense since that's the era

the movie takes place in. It felt nostalgic, but I couldn't get my head back into that space. It seems like the target age group might be millennials who have never really experienced the 80s movies (ET, Gremlins, etc).

9. and back in that time frame...no kids I knew swore like that....

sorry......didn't think that was appropriate at all. JMHO. The first "It" didn't have to push all the realities that this version did. I enjoyed the innuendoes of the first version, NOT the graphic images of this one, and again JMHO.

10. actually

i learned a lot of my cursing skills in the early 80's reading Stephen King books. Salem's Lot is my favorite of his, scared the living shit out of me when i was a kid. don't know. we cursed like sailors. once we learned "fuck", that was it.

14. good point. nt

8. I am just not into horror. Didn't scare me at all, however I did love the ending

and I did enjoy the dynamic of each kids own demons being almost like a metaphor for IT. How by them sticking together "supporting one another" they could cope with "It" and beat it. Perhaps there is a lesson there for DU. Stop all the stupid infighting and stand up to "IT". That fucking dick head pretending to be president.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

13. I didn't find it scary either

The real IT were the kids parents, who all sucked. The film was more about family dynamics than real horror.

[Lee-Lee]

11. It's been in the works since 2009

And filming started in early 2016.

So, no.

15. Well, we have a creepy clown in the White House, so it makes sense!
