    One of the moments from the adult half of the film that I really like is a very small, simple moment, but it's when the gang is leaving the hotel and have basically decided there's not much they can do, and especially Richie wants to "get the heck out of dodge." But just as he's leaving the hotel room, he turns around briefly to the TV to hear about a little girl, with her sweet little picture, being killed by, what he knows is It. It's very brief and subtle, but you almost see hints of sadness and guilt in his face while he's watching that, and I feel that's actually what changed his mind to stay and confront It.

    There seems to be almost unanimous consent with this movie - if you watched it when you were young or when it first came out, you tend to like it. If not, then forget it. It's like there was only a certain window of time to view this movie (or miniseries) in order to like it. I like it, but I saw it when I was 8 years old in 2000. Scared me to death. I've shown it to a few people who never saw before just a couple years ago, and they laughed at this movie and me for liking it. Your like or dislike of this movie almost completely depends on nostalgia.

Tim Curry straight up stole the movie, he's just that powerful and amazing of an actor he just commands your attention and the jokes were terrible but the way he said them and goofed around made them funny. And I don't care what anyone says I love this movie, my Mom never saw IT before I got her to watch the 2017 version, then I got her to watch this version and she loved it as well, sadly she passed away before IT Chapter 2, know she would've enjoyed chapter 2.

    In the book It first attacks Georgie, rips his arm off and eats his heart, then he attacks a gay couple and eats their hearts too. That really freaked me out when i read it in 1987, and then the gang bang in the sewer and the druggie hallucinations about It's origins and the Turtle... heavy stuff for a teenager :-) I really hope the Turtle will appear or at least be referred to in the new film, it gave the book a deeper meaning and more dimension.

    Not exactly -- the gay couple wasn't until the 1984- and it didn't attack them - three youths of the town attacked one of them and threw him off of the bridge; IT just took advantage of that brutal violent attack as a catalyst to wake up and start feeding. That attack during Derry Carnival was just to Adrian Melon, whom had his heart eaten out through the armpit.

    Great as always boys. Few things: 1. Bela jumped up and down when she saw the thumbnail. LOL 2. Ya'll are so right about it being a good kids "introduction to horror" movie. After all - it was good enough for us 80's kids ;) My girls love it and they don't notice the horrible adult acting (yet). 3. When Iain said, "The ending is just WEAK. I wasn't sure if it was just me as a kid..." Bela said, "It wasn't you, bro..." 4. When Iain acted out the orderly death by dog head scene, I almost DIED laughing. 5. Gary, I just finished reading It. Mostly so that I could tell Bela an "edited summary" of each chapter (she wanted to read it herself so that was the compromise). And... man you are not wrong. It's fucking ridiculous hardcore. LOL. Oh! And - during the spider show down - there's that part where It throws Bill's spirit through space and time. Bill - holding on to the spider by its tongue - flies past the cosmos - passing the turtle (who was the accidental creator of our universe and the reason the kids had some power against pennywise), and hurtling toward the macroverse, where the actual true form of It was waiting to merge Bill into itself. What. The. Fuck. Yeahhhhhhh.... Good luck making that into a movie!!

    In the book, the door was a door into the creature’s spaceship, not a dungeon door, like in the movie. In the book, most of the kids get high, and one of them sees that the creature had crashed onto earth before people were here, if I recall correctly, and then they eventually discover the door, and there’s this stark transition between the slimy caves of the sewer system and the clean metallic huge spaceship interior.

    Even as a kid, I thought the acting was cheesy. However, it's worth watching just for Tim Curry playing the clown. In the 1980s, there were a lot of movies that were labeled 'made for tv', which means it was basically a movie with tv show quality actors, with tv show quality scripts, and tv show budgets, but was packaged for TV. This is definitely was one of them. I don't think they really use that label much anymore. I also found it funny comparing the allusion to menstruation in the original vs. the remake. But then again, this had to be shown on TV, and in the 1980s, it would not been considered 'brave' to smear menstrual blood all over your face.

    I watched IT when I was in high school I think, when my brother and sister were still young. For some reason I'm still not sure, they decided to watch it with me, and it traumatised them (they still hate clowns now apparently). The scary parts of this movie are mostly so subtle, that they disappeared before I jumped, and that sort of leave something hanging midair, which I didn't like. I don't remember much of the scenes, but I remember I enjoyed the movie very much as a horror. It would be interesting to know what you think of the new IT.

    I actually love the ending of the book and didn't think it was anticlimactic at all. They even have that awesome mind battle in the book, which was so well written...The movie's finale is horrible though, so we can agree on that.

    I remember seeing this back in 93 when I was 8, I was too scared to watch it to the end so I never saw the end till I was 12, I thought it was rubbish but I just saw it again recently and I actually liked it. The meaning to the film is about fear, fear of growing up for the kids and coming of age. Then the adults get the fear again, during their midlife crisis, the fear of growing old the fear of death. The fear of life hits people at these ages and pennywise represents that fear as an entity.

    ABC, the network that had the rights to this were the reason for the watering down of the movie. They tied Tommy Lee Wallace's hands in a lot of ways. It began as a 10 part series but ABC got cold feet about the cost and the violence in the story so they slashed the budget and ordered a script re-write. Then halfway thru the shoot slashed the budget yet again so Tommy Lee Wallace couldn't finish the film properly and had to improvise which is something he is well versed at. I think for what he had to put up with from ABC and for the time and the budget constraint's he did the best he could with what he had to work with. A lot of stuff was left out because of it also being unable to film for television due to the underage sex and the Murder of the gay guy at the beginning of the book, it was 1990 and they weren't gonna show that on a major network like NBC. And yeah the Spider effect was god awful i won't try to defend that god awful thing haha.

    Love your reviews! As for the TV series being watered down....I think it had to be, as they were dealing with broadcasting restrictions. The movies had a completely different vibe. But I think for what it had to work with, the miniseries did a great job of following the book.

    Henry Bowers in the novel is a frightening monster of a kid but you do see how horrible he’s treated by his Father and understand violence and negativity is all he has ever known. And the Dad blames Mike’s Father for putting him out of work and that’s how the racism angle came in to play

    You guys got a couple things wrong about the book but not to far off in some regards, i just finished to the audio book so it is fresher in my mind. So spoilers ahead. 1) Henry Bowers didn't get a BJ in the book from Patrick Hockstetter he got a hand job. When Patrick offered to "suck him off" he came to his senses in the book as he was in a sorta daze and said no then started to berate Patrick about the ordeal. 2) IT being a spider was explained in the book a lot better because IT is a pan-dimensional being made of light and that the human mind can't comprehend. It only appears as a spider because that is what there mind could hand, which is a near quote from the Bill in the book. IT having eggs was weird though. 3) The controversial "gang-bang" which was actually just a train as they all took separate turns in a pitch black tunnel. This happened because after they "killed" IT the group got lost both physically and mentally as their entire purpose for being together was done. Bev found a way to keep them together. Also i heard King was high on coke at the time. 4) The Dog thing was explained better in the book as IT turns into your greatest fears and the orderly was afraid of pit bulls.

    Yeah unfortunately you can't expect too much horror-wise from ABC circa 1990 LOL I was 15 at the time and it didn't scare me, but I loved the story and It is one of my favorite King novels.

    In the miniseries defense they had a very small budget and we're bound by network TV rules and regulations so they had to cut alot and didn't have the money for alot of effects. As for the melodrama of the adult actors that was kind of just the style of TV acting very dramatic very over the top.

    After seeing your review video of IT now I'm addicted to seeing more. And I certainly didn't know about the gangbang in the book (Course I never read the book). But now I want to read IT I have read other Stephan King novels but after all the hype about the new movie I definitely want to read this book. Tim Curry was a beast as Pennywise.

After watching it again as a teenager i watched it in it's entirety i was so disappointed....
