Nothing right now, but I just finished the latest episode of The Expanse. I will weep bitter, bitter tears of raging hate if that show doesn't come back from being currently cancelled.

Not my favorite episode this season, but probably one of my favorite scenes in the whole series:

Superheroes are about to get darker, stranger and pitch black funnier. I just read this: Amazon Orders ‘The Boys’ Superhero Drama Series Based On Comic | Deadline

To be fair, there was something very unusual. They were hunting/being hunted by an actual, supernatural monster. Bill's point was that for the sake of Ralph, the other victims and themselves, the group had to hunt down and destroy the monster. Richie's point was that if they did that they...

I think we do, but it's subtle. If you notice, the weird program with the lady and the kids is on several televisions in the movie. It's always well in the background (except for the bit with Henry) but it's there. That said, IT, like the Devil, doesn't make anyone do anything. IT tends to...

For my part, I'm focusing on the movie, since this is thread for the movie. That said, it's almost impossible not to bring in stuff from the book. That said again, while we don't know what IT thinks in the movie, we can see some of what IT does and what IT has done in the past. IT does seemed...

No, the monster doesn't create the bad. But I think IT has deliberately fostered an environment in Derry where the bad can flourish and take root, while the good tends to be more stunted. While IT doesn't turn people bad or good, IT's probably happy to give people that last little push to send...

IT didn't just give Henry a knife. IT gave Henry back the knife he'd lost earlier. And there seemed to be a certain amount of cajoling through the TV set right before Henry killed his father. To me IT seems to work to make good people bad (or at least passive and disengaged) and bad people...

Except we know that in the movie, at least, IT took the trouble to seduce Henry into killing his father and going after the Losers.

I've never seen any of the episodes with Capaldi in them because I never thought they could match up to the promise of this:

Which is exactly why it's an interesting avenue of discussion/exploration. I'm a pretty avid RPG player and one of my favorite RPGs is called TORG. In the "horror" supplement to the game there's a short story called "Mr. Ho Find a Horror." The story tracks Mr. Ho, a minion of evil as he walks...

Doesn't that rather depend on the benefits? Suppose you're a young father dying of a rare, incurable disease. Wouldn't you give almost anything to get to provide for your children, live to see them grow up? Perhaps even if "anything" includes other children never getting to grow up?

IT probably could move if IT needed to, but IT probably doesn't want or like to move. The reason humans stopped being hunter-gatherers was that agriculture, farming plants and animals while building more permanent settlements, was easier and more rewarding than a nomadic existence. Figure IT...

Here's a messed-up idea: Does IT bring benefits to Derry along with periodic times of child disappearance/murder? IT is a supernatural predator. Does IT do something that wards other supernatural predators off from Derry, ITs chosen hunting grounds? Like because IT is there, Derry doesn't...

There's also the idea that IT has rules and a pretty limiting schedule. It's easily possible for a family to "miss out" on IT for generations. Say a guy is born the year after IT preys, grows to adulthood, marries at age 27 and has a kid at 28. That kid has a kid at 28, etc. Meanwhile, even...

While we experience this version of IT as a movie, it might be helpful to think of it as a book, or, really, as a story. Pretend that there's a missing scene right at the very beginning of the movie where the Losers come to confide in their other friend who we'll call Audi (short for Audience)...

I think part of it is that we view the world of the movie almost completely through the eyes of the Losers and that our attitudes are supposed to be colored by their attitudes. They don't look at Henry as another kind of victim. They see him as an evil persecutor, so we see him as an evil...

See, you're joking about that, but it's not that bad of an idea. Lohan is 31 now, if the second part of the movie is made in a couple-three years, she'd be close to her mid-thirties and could pass for a young-looking 40ish, looks good as a red-head and was a damn good actress when she had her...

I'll assume you're kind of joking. For my part, I'd go with Jessica Chastain.
