>>87509483
As if I need some sort of motive to tell the truth?

The Emoji Movie made almost 200 million. That shit doesn't say a damn thing about quality and you know it.

The only reason this is making money is due to stale horror tropes that normies eat up, and nostalgia tickets from people who like the book/miniseries.

It's shit.

The new movie won me over when the eyes changed from gold to blue. It's the little shit from the book that nobody fucking remembers.

>>87509853

It's just that it is so UNUSUAL in this day and age. This is the equivalent to the Bane Plane scene. It looks so fucked up yet brilliant at the same time so in short, yes. It deserves to be spammed. It deserves it's meme status, this is coming from an aspiring director / writer myself. Scenes like this are rare. Usually you'll have something that looks obviously CGI, this looks real.

I am not saying there is no shills, just that in this case it literally doesn't matter. The theater I want was fucking packed and people were already excited for a sequel as they left.

>That shit doesn't say a damn thing about quality and you know it.

Quality is one of the many elements. Even Hollywood is getting upset about RT being a factor for the success of blockbuster movies.

It plays with conventional horror tropes while also doing new things, that's how you do a successful movie.

>>87510036
>Just laugh at them

>>87509937
mate, im sure you'll say that about any unorthodox scene in a film but if that were the reason pictures were spammed on /tv/, we'd never run out of pictures to post.

>>87509870
Anyone who says 2017 thinks 7 year olds just run head first into shit without looking where they're going. Get knocked flat on their back, and get up without so much as a single tear or trace of vertigo...and keeps going like it was a minor inconvenience.

Amazing how Georgie went out like such a bitch, considering he's a fucking 7 year old super hero or slap-stick genius.

>>87510106

Although that's probably a case of Stephen King being an influence on Junji Ito. But still the way it plays in the movie it really feels similar.

The new film was more funny than scary.
A little unsettling at times.
I like that it didn't go straight horror route. It makes the actual scary parts more meaningful. You actually have some attachment to the victims here.

>>87510294

Would you even call this a jump scare? I mean you see him in the water for a few seconds before he rushes at Bill. It's not the same as a jump scare right?

Sounds like a case of nostalgia, bro.

>IT is actually an eternal demon that feeds on humans
>Curry's version is like some Pogo the Clown uncle, goofy with a smoker's voice
>Bill's is like an otherwordly demonic force who just wants to fucking eat humans

Please be honest about the material.

An eternal demonic force would totally just take on the guise of a clown from the 1800s and just keep that shit. Curry's version is like some dorky b-film monster with terrible transitions from clown to werewolves to lepers that have aged terribly.

Accept "nuIT" anon, accept IT.

>>87510755

It's a scene from IT, the image they're showing is a jump scare that you see on screen for all of 1 or 2 seconds. The ensuing scene is fucking horrifying but it's going to be a subject of shitposting by people who haven't even seen the movie and those who have, but are upset it's being received well, because muh contrarian opinion.

Who here were with /IT/ since the beginning?

Based Finn

>>87510892
It's pretty much how the book starts. In the novel, It doesn't take Georgie's body, so they're going to rescue the other missing kids and because Bill wants to kill that fucking clown.

>>87510945
I think you misread me. in New it, George is lost, missing. they go on a rescue mission. there's a small chance he's alive, in his brother's eyes

in old it, was the body taken or left to die?

This is the kino part and the best of Lovecraft. In his stories you always end up feeling sorry for the poor fucker about the munched by fish people or whatever. In this movie they take their time to get you to like the kids so when the clown is going after them it has a bigger impact. I wouldn't say it's scary but it's tense as fuck

What's the deal with the "deadlights"? I haven't read the book.

Seen it this afternoon. It was meh.

I actually had the first nightmare in a long time a few nights ago about IT
No, not nu-IT.
A long time ago when I was taking a trip in the mountains with my family as a kid i was up late at night watching TV and there was a movie about a bunch of kids on. Then a fucking creepy killer clown showed up and totally freaked me the fuck out. Ever since then I've always been fascinated with this story.

Anyway, the nightmare went like this. I was talking to my brother (I think) and suddenly I noticed there was a hand on his shoulder. The hand was wearing a yellow satin glove on it. Suddenly I felt extreme terror as my gaze "zoomed in" on the hand and I heard a chuckling. I'm not sure what to make of this next part, but my butthole began to pucker extremely tight to the point where it woke me up. I'm not trolling just reporting what happened. Even though I was awake I still felt scared like what I saw wasn't just a random dream but was a vision of some sort. The rest of the night I had horrible nightmares.

Now I really want to watch this movie but am also scared at the same time it will give me more nightmares, and I'm not a pussy, I love disturbing horror movies, but will this movie fuck with my head?

It is supposed to be misleading in the novel. It's not blatantly demonic. Not until it's too late.

The new movie is more faithful to the book, but Tim's outfit was the more faithful still.

>>87511488
>overall, the movie isn't scary if you're an adult
I didn't watch the movie intending to be scared. I was more unsettled and disturbed. Greatly so.

That's just my take, being creeped out is a better feel than being scared. It's more of a lingering and lasting effect.
The dance for instance. Yeah, it looked funny. But there was something 'off' about it, really unsettling. The conflicting motions of the body and the head, perhaps. Creeped me out.

>>87511488
>+climax in the sewer was done way better than even the book
I heard they cut the climax in the sewer from the movie?

>>87511550
Finding something both "funny" and "creepy" means that Skarsgard did a good job with the clown theme.

>>87511488
>Tim Curry was funnier and made more specific digs at each of the kids

Did he? Most of his memorable interactions are from when the kids are adults. Kiss me fatboy, prince albert in a can, etc

>>87510425
See, I keep seeing people saying that the leper and the corpses and pennywise looked way too CGI, but most of that was done with practical effects with real costumes.

I'm baffled by the hate for the film. It is legitimately good. Sure, it has it's flaws, but most of what people are ripping into it about here (muh CGI, muh nostalgia, Tim Curry was better) is just plain wrong. Little CGI was used in the film, most of the sets and effects are practical, and the film was objectively better shot, cast, and acted than the mini-series.

Anyone who says otherwise truly is being contrarian or hasn't seen it yet.

>+all the child actors were great
No. The rewriting of Ben's character was clumsy at best. He was essentially a Greek chorus whose contributions were to randomly spoon feed the audience plot points and background information using a vocabulary that he doesn't use throughout the rest of the movie. And then there's Mike. Useless Mike. He was more shoehorned than Ben and just took up space. There was no bond between these kids. Their personalities were homogeneous with Richie being the only stand out. The bullies were all those things and less, even compared to the TV miniseries. Everyone was expendable and only served as the most superficial conflict. The writing was just terrible. The setting played a part in this, I think. The pine barrens being the loser's club's hang out and entrance to IT's world worked better than the house on Nebolt.

He wasn't really funny though. It came off more as cringey. Curry's performance was hammy, but still charming.

I would rate the new IT a 6/10, the old one being a 7/10.

It could be better after I see Chapter 2, but right now, it didn't have that same "haunting" vibe. I know they were trying NOT to copy Tim Curry, but the way he comes off in the new one is just so out-right evil, you'd be hard pressed find him unsettling. Evil, yes, creepy, not quite.

If Pennywise looked more like this guy, then we'd be talking.

>>87511736
You're retarded. The kids half of the mini series is alright. It's a bit campy and whatnot but it's also almost 30 years old. Most importantly, it was memorable and left a lasting impression on a generation. Tim Curry's performance was good and so was the dynamic between the children. All you retards ripping on the budget, effects of the old film are superficial pleb retards. The tension and creepiness is still present in the mini series, it's just sandwiched in with some outdated things.

>>87511750
>>87511819
>Their personalities were homogeneous with Richie being the only stand out.
Bill was the serious leader. Richie was the jokester. Stanley was the nervous guy. Eddie was a combination between jokester and nervous guy. Bev was the fearless slut. Ben was kind of like a puppy dog. Mike was . . . well, Mike never had much of a personality to begin with.

>>87511864
>The tension and creepiness is still present in the mini series, it's just sandwiched in with some outdated things.
You're joking right? There's nothing scary or even creepy about the original. I watched it recently and it was hilariously bad

>>87511208
>>87511195
Yeah OK maybe my first thought shouldn't have been why a creature would evolve teeth on teeth and how something like that would survive and instead should have thought screw it its creepy. Fine teeth are OK but what about Pennywise just sorta vibrating towards the kids early on? Like was it supposed to be creepy? Just sorta looked silly to me. Maybe it was just a result of some sort of "shaking camera". But I couldn't really take those few scenes seriously.

>>87511823
In the original, all of the kids were generally pretty good actors, Henry Bowers was more believable as a sadistic bully, and the set-ups to all the scares made sense and a logical flow.

In the new one, the scares happened at random, Bowers was thrown in haphazardly and they took away his racial hatred, and only 2 of the kid actors were really any good. Even Georgie could act better than his older brother.

>>87511784
>the old one being a 7/10
You have shit taste m8. New one is much much better. Only good thing with the old one of Tim and Bill did as good a job, people are just nostalgic about Tim.

Jesus fucking Christ, this movie ramps up the subtle creep factor to 11. It was genuinely disconcerting to watch. Just tons of small details that you might miss but that make you feel uneasy and unsettled as they lodge in your subconscious.

Except they're not. If there's one thing the new one has over the original, it's definitely better effects. In fact, I could tell when things were CGI and when things were practical because the practical looked so much more believable.

>>87511900
>There's nothing scary or even creepy about the original. I watched it recently and it was hilariously bad

They're different adaptations, retard. It's not going for the "total demonic creature" angle. There's a different type of creepiness to it and there's certainly still tension in the miniseries. Only a retarded pleb would deny that. Desperate shills are calling the miniseries complete shit when there's still plenty of good stuff in the kids half.

It wasn't even a movie, it was TV miniseries.

What's happening right now is the same shit that happened when The Dark Knight came out. Everyone was instantly shitting on Tim Burton's Batman and saying TDK was way better and 89 was shit. It's all hype intoxication. In a few years we'll get some accurate judgement of this movie, but not now. Right now the people saying it's the fucking best are only saying that because it's new. Happens every time.

>>87512161
>capefag

Why do you keep saying that? We all know marvel-fags have the worst taste in film on the planet. I bet you don't even watch silent films.

>>87512128
I'll give you that. It's campy and whatnot, but considering it's almost 30 years old and a tv movie. It's not bad at all. It's memorable and left an impression on a generation, that's plenty enough. I doubt this new one will even hold up in a decades time.

>>87512179
But The Dark Night was better than the 89 film

>>87512179
>Everyone was instantly shitting on Tim Burton's Batman and saying TDK was way better and 89 was shit

>So every scene involving the teeth was practical?

Never said that, dumbass. In fact, I acknowledge there's CGI used. It's hard to do any sort of fantasy story without it. It's such a great tool for the medium. What I did say was that the director kept it to a minimum and relied heavily on practical effects--and yet it's still getting shit for being a CGI shitfest? Huh? Is any amount of CGI too much for you faggots?

>not an argument
Literally an argument. The original is being praised because people are nostalgic for it when they watched it as kids. By every objective measure, the new IT is better than the old IT. Unless you mean to tell me that old IT had better casting, acting, pacing, cinematography, set design, and structure?

>If you honestly believe that this new guy gave a better performance as Pennywise than Tim Curry then you are a fucking retard.

And yet Skarsgard's performance was much closer to that of the Pennywise in the book. His was a far more faithful adaptation of the source material, and far more genuinely creepy and scary. Curry's was a wisecracking corny B-movie monster. Skarsgard's is a twisted, pure evil demon in the form of a clown. Guess which of those is closer to the original story. Let me give you a hint: it isn't the one cracking lame fucking jokes every other scene.

>>87512235
>Being this much of an ignorant pleb faggot

Holy shit. All of those are bad examples, those remakes are all shit except for IT(we'll have to see).

>>87512235
Halloween is better than the remake, but the remake isn't awful.
Friday the 13th is infinitely superior to the shitty remake
The TV version is a more faithful adaptation and is superior in that respect. The "remake" is so far removed from the source material that I find it hard to even compare the two.

>>87512179
Never happened and the miniseries was always shit. The only good thing about the miniseries was Tim. That was always the average opinion of it.

To some extent.

There are no fake jump scares. No "loud music plays but it's really just the cat jumping on the piano, not the monster" nonsense.

That said, there are definitely some very real scares intended to make you jump. Pennywise often goes from standing perfectly still to running all-out towards the kids (and the viewers) in less than a second. There's a couple of time a monster pops up suddenly and freaks out the kids. Stuff like that.

And there's a lot of more slow-burn horror. Scenes where something horrific is happening very slowly and continuously, like the scene where Bowers finally breaks and listens to the TV telling him to kill everyone. There's nothing jumpscare-y about it it, it's just freaky.

Also, as >>87511943 points out, there's a lot of very subtle creepy shit in the movie, that you may or may not pick up on with your first viewing, but that is definitely there.

Thats because it was released when there wasn't really close to it but if we take the 1978 one and the 2007(?) one and compare them side to side without taking into the comparision the year they were and we just assume they were released at the same time the "battle" isn't such one sided. the Remake has better characters (because it atleast has them) It looks better (of course) it has better gore moments it has a nice OST like the original its just all around a better movie

Are you speaking in general, or specifically about IT?

Because it's only vaguely demonic, but it's more likely that it was a cosmic entity that consumed worlds until it was fought and nearly killed by a cosmic sea turtle, and IT now hides on earth, feeding off of children in order to recuperate.

Yea, Stephen King's drugs back then were pretty HQ.

A demon is a fallen angel, who joined Lucifer in the rebellion against God and were thrown out of Heaven.

IT would have been WAY COOLER, if IT was like one of Lucifer's high-tier demons that is just bitter as fuck and needs to feed on human flesh because people summoned it in a sewer and it pops out every 27 years by entering our physical world.

>>87509656
It was the only corny scene. They did it to lighten the mood slightly cause its a demon clown about to eat a bunch of children.

>>87512708

Like I said, King just shat on that origin. Would have been much cooler if IT was a former angel, possibly a Cherubim that joined Lucifer. Thrown down to Earth now is bitter as fuck because it can't go back to the Kingdom anymore because Lucifer basically used IT's ass.

King should have jumped on that Christian mythology route, it would have been kino because IT could be something that totally exists spiritually.

>>87512696
I had a feeling that they'd do something like that when I saw the room full of clowns, and I was really pleased when it turned out to be the case.

How?

Nah, it's much scarier to think that it exists out-side of religion, that IT exists as an entity within the material realm outside of known human knowledge, sort of like how people shat their pants when they realized the Earth wasn't the center of the universe.

>>87512894

It is actually a good way to connect a mass audience to the character's backstory and motive as everyone in the West knows about the war in Heaven.

I thought the whole macroverse - turtle thing was just an acid trip King had and he decided it would have been a good idea.

If IT existed as an angel before in the Kingdom of Heaven and was a tier below Michael, Lucifer and Gabriel, he would have existed outside of time and matter.

Then the war in Heaven happens, he sides with Lucifer is thrown down to Earth.

Is a fallen angel and just turns into this powerful demonic force. Christian mythology is used a lot in film, stories, books, etc. it's not edgy bible material, it's just appealing to the Western market.
