Why does Hollywood have to "badass" everything up?

>>81315641
I've been saying this from day 1, clowns are scary as is. Trying super hard to make a clown scary just negates this.

The new pennywise barely ever looks like a clown.

I had the same issue with the clown from American Horror story.

>>81315641

Gotta agree. The new one looks like an ovious onster - supernatural, spooky, etc.

The old one looks slightly demonic, but could also just as well be your drunk uncle in a suit, scaring the shit out of you when you're eight.

because the new pennywise is accurate to the book

I like the dress a lot, more like an old school clown, the face makeup is absolutely retarded though, it's just too much.

The face of the clown in the stormdrain was white, there were funny tufts of red hair on either side of his bald head, and there was a big clown smile painted over his mouth. If George had been inhabiting a later year, he would of surely thought of Ronald McDonald before Bozo or Clarabell.
The clown held a bunch of balloons, all colours, like gorgeous ripe fruit in one hand.
He was wearing a baggy silk suit with great big ornage buttons. A bright tie, electric blue, flopped down his front and on his hands were big white gloves, like the kind Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck always wore.

>>81315791
No he fucking isn't you liar

>>81316529
I know, I love the book, but I never remember pennywise being described like that, other than the silver old fashioned clown suit. I don't recall him being as young or lanky looking.

What scared me about the original as a kid was how the clown just looked like any clown you'd see at a circus or a party, which made me terrified to even look at one, it's like it created a new phobia for me, the new design is so monster-like, it's impossible to imagine it in broad daylight. The new one looks "scary", the old one looks unsettling.

It's like the blend of the normal and the horrifying that makes Curry's design so effective.

The new one is like a Halloween decoration.

why are there remakes of good, successful movies?

because Hollywood is generally out of ideas.

Haven't you faggots had this discussion enough? Either actually talk about the novel in depth or just wait until the next trailer comes out.

>>81315641
I was reading about the original movie, and there's an idea they had for the original pennywise design that never made its way into the movie, but sounded cool as hell to me.

They had the idea of pennywise looking like he did in the finished product only for the sections where the characters are children, as if he's trying to lure them in as a friendly clown, but in the adult sections, when they return to face him, he looks like the rotting bloated corpse of clown, as if the years had taken its toll on him and his clown facade was failing.

It would have really fit with the theme of facing the old demons of your childhood and lost innocence.

Did it ever occur to you that I just find him creepier? Probably pretty important for a horror film right? Like maybe it's not rose colored glasses and a technique creators should pay attention to?

People like you have no understanding of artistic finesse. They didn't make him "better", they just made him more marketable.

>badass

How the fuck is new Pennywise badass, they are the same concept of a clown but done in two different time periods. Old Pennywise was an ordinary party clown whereas new Pennywise is clown from a bygone era (IT is millions of years old after all).

>>81317669

Did it ever occur to you that you have no idea what the intention was behind the fucking design of a TV horror movie clown was?

You don't know if they originally wanted some grimdark monster clown but all they could afford was a standard clown suit.

Artistic finesse? Don't talk out of your ass.

>>81317016
The original "It" was a bloated mess made iconic by Tim Curry's performance and a few genuinely creepy scenes. As far as remakes go, it's an ideal candidate.

because subtly doesn't sell tickets

>>81319111
>subtle
>clown in the fucking sewers

>>81316170
True, even King admits his books had serious flaws, like writing Roland in Dark Tower as white instead of black, writing Red in Shawshank as white instead of black, and writing Dick Hallorann as white instead of black.

The creepiness of Curry's IT is the dichotomy between it looking like a normal clown one minute and then transforming to something monstrous the next.

With the remade version, there is no dichotomy: it's already creepy/evil-looking. It can only look moreso.

>>81319497
This. I couldn't finish the books because it was so racist. Thank god they fixed Roland in the upcoming movie. I mean come on, it's 2017!

No, it's the just that promotional pictures show him as being sinister. There's nothing about an old-timey clown that prevents it from coming across as an actual clown.

Yeah it's kinda like Child's Play. The Good Guys aka Chucky dolls look like Dolls a little girl would have.

Just a subtle scowl makes it pretty creepy. The later sequels Chucky gets crazier looking and it fits with the dumb cheap B-Movie Horror-Comedy the series turns into but it's also loses its effect.

Oh and yes Child's Play is not a very scary movie, but dammit it did make other Dolls unnerving to me after I saw it.

nah youre an idiot who doesn't understand the uncanny valley.. the face paint exaggerates common human faces to a creepy, uncomfortable level..you might not be scared, but its pretty common for people to be scared of them..
I think kids find them fun because they aren't aware 100% what a normal face may look like..

The new one looks like a fucking nerd. Look at those teeth lol

>>81315950
i agree, the connotations of this are scary enough..this would have been the right way to make a remake

>>81319915

They objectively aren't any scarier than regular people.

>>81315641

It really doesn't. Curry's version is ok at best.

>>81315730
This is what I kind of liked about Tim Currys pennywise. There's just something off about him that could trick young kids into trusting him. The current one looks nothing like a clown and more like a side story batman villain, any kid over the age of 3 would be like what the fuck is that

>>81319497
>>81319621
but there are no black people in Maine, unless they came up from Lawrence to sell drugs

>>81320127
Who are you to say? I'm speaking from personal experience. And you know what? A lot of people happen to agree with me you fuck.

I think Tim Curry just had the benefit of being in his mid-40s and already looking like a fucking weirdo degenerate without the makeup, so he could believably embody that uncanny John Wayne Gacy vibe. In contrast, Skarsgard is young and chic, so he just ends up looking like a college kid wearing a Halloween costume. It was more of a lapse in casting than in the costume design.

>>81320257
And a lot of people agree with me so back off?!?

>>81316904
This is so true. I never saw It before yesterday. It's fucking atrocious. Even for tv it's just fuck-off bad. Not unsettling or scary in the slightest. He looks a lot scarier in photos than he is in motion because the idea of a normal looking clown that's actually a horrible monster is an unsettling one and that's what people remember about the film (I'll just call it a film because that's basically what it is).

Personally, I think the new design is really cool because it immediately implies there's a history to the character. His outfit is like from the 17 or 1800's and because of that it's unfamiliar and strange but still clown-like, which I appreciate.

I'm not holding out hope for this to be a good movie, but I'm not writing it off like everyone in this thread is just because it's not exactly like the shitty film they remember as kids.

>>81320267
Watch the sewer scene again, his acting is unreal.

>"oooh yess" *lips quiver* "you will float"

>>81319915
they are scary out of context

a clown at a circus/party/some kind of event? perfectly normal

a clown knocking on your door at 2 AM? a little fucking unnerving

>>81320278
A lot of plebs agree with you. Quality, not quantity.

>>81320267
No, not really. Bill Skarsgard looks fucking weird. And he's a Big Guy.

>>81319915
They have the uncanny valley thing and the fact that they are supposed to attract kids (potential for a lot of disturbing situations) and the fact that you'd think guys who dress as a clown already have something fucked in their mind (unless they are a parent doing it for their kid or something).

The new IT looks bad, but no Stephen King adaptation is more egregious than a black Roland Deschain. I think Idris Elba is a great actor, but the gunslinger is white.

anyone have the original?

The original IT made a big impression on me. I first was introduced to the movie by seeing it in the horror section at Blockbuster when I used to browse the aisle because just looking at cover art and reading the synopsis' gave me shivers in my spine and I liked to work myself into a cold sweat imaging what they were about. That box-art of IT smiling with his green claw hand hanging over the tear he made always stuck out to me.

When I finally saw it I had nightmares for years. I got anxious taking showers because of the drain scene. The concept of a malicious demi-god who can be anywhere, especially at your most vulnerable, really fucked with me. I was never afraid of clowns, just IT in particular. I have a soft spot for the movie just because of the impact it had on me as a kid.

That being said, I'm not going to see the new movie and have no interest in it. Tim Curry is what made the original worthwhile.

You a woman?

>>81323188
the way he moves actually is somewhat unsettling
and it does fit with the character just being spastic and weird for the sake of it
the reason it looks so fucking ridiculous is because the trailer has that generic over the top tryhard action sequence audio going on
i bet the scene will be much better in the actual movie without all the obnoxious flickering and inception BWAAAAAA-ing the trailer had

Hey all
I watched the original yesterday ( only the first part, after the kids defeat IT ).
So... Did they just killed him with a fucking little silver ball ?
That seems a little bit... disapointing.
Still, it was very good.

>>81330894
Have a you.

>le miniseries was bad meymey

Seriously though, I watched it for the first time a couple of months ago and I thought it was ok. It's no Salem's Lot but it's still entertaining.

Is it just me or does Horror not exist as a genre.
Like.
Nothing is scary.
Even the original IT was pretty ghey.

>>81316725

>references several, existing and well-known copywrited characters to describe the OC character made in his own fiction

Seriously? Imagine other writers just did that for exposition/descriptions:

>"Gandalf looked up at the mighty Balrog, that kinda looked like a cross between Diablo from the Diablo games and Trigon from DC Teen Titans and shouted, 'You shall not pass!' while waving around a sword kind of like the Master Sword and a staff like you would see in a D&D character book."

brb, contacting a publisher now.

>>81331654

Horror does exist as a genre as there are movies made to be frighting.

But Horror is also a setting, as there are movies that doesn't aim to be scary but still has a "horror" aesthetic.

>>81331920

Poor choice of words on my part, but have you or anyone else here ever actually been scared by a work of fiction?

>>81331958
Creeped out? Yes. Mostly while reading. Scared? Not so much except for a few movies that came close.

Real fear is being 8 and waking up in your room and there's only a little bit of light and it makes everything around you look weird and shapeshifty and it all seems to come closer and closer and that poster on your wall is staring to grin with pointy teeths and that shadow near the bedroom door is creeping up on you and HOLY SHIT BEING 8 WAS A NIGHTMARE FOR ME.

You are putting an arbitrary limit on what it means to be "scared".
You don't have to shit your pants to be scared, it can be simple, and it can even just be sympathetic feelings for a character in a scary situation.

You don't have to have nightmares about something for it to have "Counted" as being scary.

With the new IT, it's pretty clear they've taken a lot of inspiration from stuff like the Ring. I don't know. While I really liked the original IT, I think this remake will be good, too.

PENNYWISE, I'VE COME TO BARGAIN

>>81320820
John Wayne Gacy was actually very attractive without make up.
Imagine if he had lost the face fat.

Is there any profession that's been more demonized by pop culture than clowns? Imagine becoming a clown because you want to make people laugh and have a good time, but then you steadily realize that everyone's looking at you like you might snap at any moment and pull a chainsaw out of your giant pants.

>>81331796
Yeah how did George know what a clown was in the first place? Clowns exist in real life and Stephen King books aren't real life.

>>81315641
The greatest human fear comes from the unknown and uncertainty. The reason masks are scary is because they conceal intent, and so we can't tell what's going through the mind of the person wearing them. This is why blank mannequin masks (and mannequins) tend to scare people far more than monster masks. Monster masks are designed to be overtly threatening, and while humans can react with fear to overt threats, it's not as visceral as the deep unsettling feeling of uncertainty. Hence our fear of the dark, and why people find blank stares to be unsettling, and etc.

Translating this to Pennywise, many people have a fear of clowns for this reason. The make-up conceals intent while presenting it on a facsimile of a human face to enter an uncanny representation of a human. Curry Pennywise's make-up is just pretty basic clown make-up and that's why it's creepy. The new Pennywise look is overtly threatening, and while that can be scary it is not going to be as unsettling and uncomfortable as a more neutral make-up that resembles the human face in a state of uncertain intent.

>>81320948
m. o. o. n. that spells never

Quick question about the remake and I think is pretty important.

Is this goign to be a gore fest?

Because somebody said to me that the deaths are pretty gruesome and explicit in the books.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this version too will leave out the child gangbang scene. I hope I'm just being paranoid.

>>81335288
Well it's rated R and I've seen behind the scenes pictures of Georgie with his fake arm being ripped off so most likely

>>81316305
i almost wanna say, this is too creepy for horror.

even horror films rarely ever try to be fucking insane like that painting.

>>81335288

There's really only like 1 or 2 "gruesome" deaths.

Unless you consider "and then georgie got his arm ripped off" or "and then the kid got his head ripped off" to be gruesome.

The amount of disembodied blood that flies out of the sink would get it an R rating alone, nowadays, but I don't consider that to be particularly gory.

>>81335411
Fuck that dude, poor Georgie

>>81335512
But that head is ripped off by the fucking Frankenstein right?

why is it that this music video is scarier than any horror film ever? Why can't filmmakers make sfx as scary as it is on this 90's shit???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbBbFH9fAg

>>81335570

It was the creature from the black lagoon ripping the abusive stepdad kid's head off.

I do remember frankenstein doing some savage shit at some point, though. Along with jaws, rodan, the teenage werewolf, the mummy, and a salem's lot version of dracula.

Really the only gruesome death I can immediately recall is Hockstetter getting eaten alive by the leech-mosquito things, watching them painlessly embed themselves into his skin and fill up with his blood, pulling one out but the sucker stays in and starts spraying his blood out into the open air, and then he falls into a fridge full of them.

I don't the new movie will do that, even if he is in it (which he is).

Somebody that have read the books can confirm this? Because it is a constant in every single thread that talks about IT.

Did Beverly had sex with all the kids at the same time before they fighted IT in the sewers?

>>81335911

No, it's after they defeat him the first time.

Because Derry has a crazy ass maze for a sewer, they get lost and the only way to find their way out is to have sex, because like that's the final part of the ritual, or something.

If I remember correctly she starts with Mike, the black one.

Aye I saw the missing poster as well, I hope they do a re-adaption of that scene, but something tells me they won't, I want to be wrong and they are doing more than just a slight homage to the movies, we really don't know where in the movie they put the poster up so uncertainty is there.

It's just that a lot of horror movies suck. It's a shitty genre, but it's still a genre. Most good directors don't invest in horror, so it's filled up by ones that are just trying to make a quick buck.

It was years since I last read up on him, but I'm pretty sure he was considered very well adjusted. He was part of all sorts of community events and helped out around the town. A lot like Ted Bundy and other sociopaths he played the regular guy act pretty well. That's normally how they get away with it for so long, because they act like the last people you'd expect to be a bad person. Plus he hid the bodies under his house.

I get what you're saying, but right now we're seeing trailers and stills trying to sell a horror movie to a new audience. You're pulling stills of Currywise from any part of the old movie.

We haven't seen the full spectrum of the new one yet. Just the pictures and video to get the lowest common denominator to go "oh SHIT that looks like a movie I want to scare my girlfriend with so she'll let me feel her up in the theater"

I seriously did that as a kid at the video rental store. Then my sister rented it or my dad did and I walked in during the photoalbum scene, holy fucking shit.

Then years later it was on tv and I had a tv in my bedroom (back then a new concept). I would watch tv in secret beyond my bedtime, the day IT was showing was always a day my mother would come home in the evening and she could tell from outside the house if I was watching tv or not. She threw a tennisball against my window every time she caught me, scared the shit out of me.

its a representation of the times

original IT clown was just a clown that would act/ say creepy things back when people would care what other people wouldsay and actually listen before judging

new IT represents newfag generation worried about identity and appearances and very little about what is said or done, face value and low attention span newfag world where women act like complete whores, but wear makeup and pretend they are precious little flowers, while sucking on thunderchad's cock like a champ behind closed doors
