It's alright. I did the same thing when I read the post and thought 'What's he talking about? We did get to see the building (of the Standpipe).' I forgot to change over the font on my previous reply so it looks like I'm yelling. Sorry.Oh. Hooked on Phonics...didn't work for me.
Sorry.
Some have mentioned how pleased they were with the depiction of Derry, I agree. Wherever this was shot was an eerie doppelganger for Bangor/Derry.
Haha...s'ok.
Hey, to add salt to the wound, I even quoted Danie who pointed out the difference between 'dam' and 'damn', LOL.
The only thing that almost ruined this movie for me was the fact that there was a rather noisy African American gentleman sitting behind me who kept shouting things like "Aw Hell no!! Aw Hell no!! Don't Go in there!! Don't go in there!!! This movie is scurrrrry!!!", and then when Ben was being chased by the headless thing he stood up and screamed "GET HIM GET HIM GET HIM GET HIM!!!!" at the top of his lungs. By the middle of the movie even his mom was telling him to shut up.
You just made my day! I closed my eyes during the cat and sheep scenes too, yet giggled with delight when Georgie got sucked into the sewer. I'm glad I am not alone.
I would've politely asked him to be quiet or I would get an usher. The theater audience when I saw it, was completely silent the whole time. I cannot understand the type of person who doesn't care if he ruins everyone's viewing experience. Very narcissistic.
Did you all know that the kid that plays Henry Bower was also in The Dark Tower movie? For about 10 seconds but he was in it.
This is something that one of my sisters would do. She's lost all self control and just blurts out things constantly. Can't even watch a movie at home with her as she talks non-stop.
Same with my experience (a few appopriate screams and tittering.) In fact, the message after the previews said in no uncertain terms that anyone on their phone or being rude will promptly be escorted out of the theater with no refund.
Mine was silent as well. That's why my seat neighbor heard me hiss and giggle nervous at one scene. She looked at me with her hands on her face - and we both shook our heads, like 'oh man'. It was a great moment with a stranger.
We did see the standpipe. Right before bill discovers bev has been kidnapped, it shows him near it. I gather he was supposed to meet her near there and she didn't show, so he went to check on her
At first, I read this as "damn building'" and I thought, "What damn building is he talking about?"
Considering ben's confusion about what victor criss meant when he said something about a "baby dam", this is kind of hilariously fitting
Port Hope , Ontario.
It's a beautiful little town. Such a good choice, it really does have the Derry feel with the old downtown, river and forest.
Port Hope used for the scenery / nice downtown and Oshawa used for the "crackhouse" ; fitting if you know the area.
I've got the itch to read the book again!
Final figures are in: our Losers racked up $123M domestic, $66M foreign. In three days. Pennywise did the Peppermint Twist all over the Box Office.
I hope Hollywood learns a lesson: if you do a property, and do it well, the audience is there.
