Looks great.
With a silent 'Sh'?
Saw this last night.. The smile and pause by the grandma is deeply unsettling
James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain, now that's good casting. Certainly looks good.
IT 1 was such a letdown for me. I expected much more of it. I prefer the 90s version, it was more cheesy but it also had more heart/character.
Cast looks pretty good.
Liked the original. Liked the first part of the remake. Doubt I'll dislike part two, but my wife won't be seeing it at the cinema so I might have to wait for it to come on netflix or something. 
Creepy start to the trailer, then all the crashing and banging that follows spoils it. I might not bother now.
Which one of you cowards shit my pants?
2019 gonna be great. John Wick 3, It 2, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood ...
My thoughts too and it's a problem the first film suffered from as well. I enjoyed the relationship between the kids and the odd slower creepy moments but every time they really went for a scare it just fell flat, largely because their attempts at producing a scare often amounted to some slightly crap cg looking thing moving fast and making a loud noise. Like the kids were being stalked by a particularly aggressive pokemon.
Doesn't seem their approach to eliciting scares is going to change so I guess the film depends on the strong cast managing to echo the nice relationship the young actors had in the first film. Which would be tricky to do, I think.
Splendid.
I enjoyed the first.
The Irishman
Well john wick 3 anyway . Hate Hollywood in joke ego fests and no one likes clowns
The paused smile and then continuing to talk like everything was normal. That shit is creepy! Also, at that point her left eye is slightly off, like it's looking at you. Unsettling.
Comes out on Friday, anyone plan on watching?
YES!
IT 2 and Joker is all I need this year in the cinema.

Oh yes. Can not wait!!
Looking forward to seeing this 
I read the book when I was about 11 but haven't read it since. Is it actually good? I remember liking it at the time and have a hankering to read it again.
It has a profoundly disturbing Stephen King underage perversity ending which no-one talks about.
Unsurprisingly, the decision to include a child orgy is one of the things that does stick out in my mind from the first time I read it.
Did that happen in the TV miniseries? I can't remember.
I assume not. I can't recall.
It didn't. Whatever about books, TV & film are mediums where that scene definitely wouldn't work.
After all these years of loving IT (and being scared shitless at that age), this is the first time I’m reading about this
You didn't read the book? It was strange, cos it was really described in detail if I recall clearly.After all these years of loving IT (and being scared shitless at that age), this is the first time I’m reading about this
Nope. Just watched the tv miniseries in the very early 90’s. I wasn’t even 10 yet.
And now hearing of all this, think I’m definitely not going to be reading the books
Painful, awful, excruciating detail.
Edit: Stephen King has a very odd relationship with sexuality and his books can be very creepy.
Anyone seen it? Getting mixed reviews. Some say it's too long, some say it has some good set pieces but pacing issues and problems with the storyline. I loved chapter 1, so I think I'll be watching this regardless of what the reviews say
Jesus, I’ve never wanted a movie to finish so badly ever, It’s terrible. I wanted to walk out and by the time it was wrapping up o had my car keys and phone in my hands ready to go.
They’ve managed to get Chastain and McAvoy to put in pretty terrible performances to boot, some scenes are so laughably bad by the end it becomes more like one of the Scarymovie spoof films with the comedy elements.
I’ve watched some crap in my day but this is up there with one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.
The best thing about it is either Bill Hader or the teaser trailer for the Emancipation of Harley Quinn.

Not getting to see this at the cinema isn't the end of the world then?
Still, I miss going to the cinema. If only for the bacon-snack.

If I wasn't with the Mrs who never bails on movies I'd have walked out half way throughNot getting to see this at the cinema isn't the end of the world then?

So nah not the end of the world!
This was probably the worst "horror" film I've seen this year. Absolute trash. A colossal waste of nearly 3 hours. Technically it looked great and some good acting and funny jokes. But man the narrative structure was awful and it really became a joke as the film went on. Please avoid this pile of garbage.
OK, having second thoughts about it now
This was awful. I went in with a lot of hopes but this was painfully long, full of mediocre acting and just not remotely scary.
Hereditary is still the best horror movie I've seen in recent years.

I read that this was 2 hours and 45 hours, that's incredibly long. Was the first one this long i can't really remember
