Just saw IT! SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

I think maybe Ferris Bueller's Day Off was the first one to do a little end of credits cameo- 'It's over. Just go home, What are you still doing here?' or somethin along those lines.

Yes, I remember that one also.

I feel ya, brother. After seeing the movie today at noon I couldn't write a detailed review about it without gushing all over the place. The emotional scenes with the group were so much like the book that it was difficult not to get a little misty. It had that emotional punch that Stand By Me had, I'll just go ahead and say it. Again, thankful the movie ended like it did on that quiet, peaceful note with the group and not another jump scare tacked on like your typical horror movie crop. The bad guy pops up one last time, or there's an evil laugh to let audience know it's not dead...nope, not here. This made me happier than anything, I think. I think the second part will be killer, my hopes are even higher. All the kids were phenomenal but Bev and Bill were so true to the characterizations in the book.

Tell you what, I totally got that eighties 'Stand by Me' vibe. Felt like a kid again, watching one of the good old King flicks ma used to rent on video. Loved that old town, the look of everything--something in the cinematography gave it all a damp vibe...I dunno, like everything was kinda soggy. And that score! People ain't talkin about the score, but I found it killer. A real eighties horror movie sound.

Tell you what (again), I'm kinda glad they switched time periods. Tell ye true, I didn't really notice. They kept a heavy focus on the HORROR, and damn it, that's how it's done. That's what It needed. And by the dogs, that's what we got.

I totally agree. I remember you and I (and a few others purists) were wary about the chronological changes, since the novel is rooted in that 50s nostalgia, but the '80s nostalgia hit me right in the solar plexus. I loved it. That was our generation, I guess. Batman and Lethal Weapon on the marquee (I remember seeing both at the theater as a twelve year old) and the humorous jabs at New Kids on the Block.
Man, I have to go back and rewatch. You're right about the dampness, good call.

A'yuh. I was the same age as those kids, during that same time frame--when I first read It, matter of fact. So there's a triple whammy on me.

And to get kinda personal, doc, the thirteen year-old me woulda fallen in love with that Bev. Molly Ringwald hair and all, yep. Pretty sure my son fell for the lass. When he wasn't crapping his pants in terror, that is.

I know, was thinking the same thing. She reminded me of my first crush, Colleen, who I followed like a puppy when I was around this age. Bev was a lot of woman for those rag tag boys, lol. (I thought it was funny when they were all watching her sun bathe at the swimming hole). That actress that played Bev couldn't have been better. The scenes with her father were hard to watch. They didn't go as far as the book, but that's ok.

Hey, what did ya think of that pervy drug store guy?

Honestly, that scene made me very sad for Bev. The fact that she was aware that she could entice him that way made it very obvious her innocence had been stolen. A girl that age shouldn't have that kind of awareness -- and men just shouldn't be looking at young kids that way!

Exactly. In my mind I kept thinking she was used to it: the slut-shaming at school, her father's abusive language and insinuations, plus the fact she was coming of age in a womanless world (no mother, all friends are boys, and girls at school alienated her) so who did she have to talk to about that stuff, i.e. feminine products (the reason she was in the drug store to start with), etc.

The artwork on this one is a little too perfect, doesn't look like marker. I can see some of you craftier members making these. Maybe the young hipsters on here would wear it.

First time poster; stumbled across this place after watching the movie and was fascinated by all the great insight.

I read the book this year (before watching the miniseries) , and now the movie tonight. The book was a masterpiece, mini series seemed to lack some things (still good) , but this movie felt right.

It was extra special because it was filmed in my hometown, so it was really cool to see places you know.

I can't wait for chapter 2!

And eager to read more thoughts on this board.
