It's a sad, sad day for Humanity when someone is disappointed at the lack of a BJ from a leper.
is the director's cut nc-17 lol? in all seriousness, i had to point out to them how random and gratuitous it would be to the average viewer for that to happen in the movie without any context. people think a little too hard on the book without considering the general audience sometimes.
The board is getting A LOT of traffic tonight in the thread

Is this addressed in the movie?

Not in that way, but you know it was addressed if you read the book.
"Beep beep, Richie" made sense just fine in the TV adaptation. Couldn't have hurt to include it in the new movie. Both readers and the unfamiliar would have gotten a kick out of it.
they explored bev's growing up in certain ways, and her attractiveness to other characters, but definitely didn't touch this part of it in any kind of overt way.

I've noticed that this thread is almost always being viewed... I wonder if the bots are drawn to the "sex" part of the title?
There's a group hug and a blood oath but nothing more.
Those d*mn horny bots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just the nature of the Internet unfortunately, and why I have filters on my kid's search engines.
I agree -it was excellent !!
i think you're overestimating what those unfamiliar with the book would think of it. without context it's honestly a little bizarre. i don't think the book even fully explained what was behind it, other than the implication that it was a way to cut richie off when he was getting dumb, but the *why* was never provided. why that phrase? what exactly is meant by it, where did it come from, etc.
meahwhile now i'm in a discussion with someone that is disappointed that the abusive al marsh didn't have any redeeming qualities in the movie . . . as if he was ever positively spun in the book outside of the context of bev basically having stockholm syndrome with him. some of the things that disappoint people really disappoint me.
Overall, I was happy. Penny Wise was amazing and may have been better than the original, which I didn't think could happen. I'm still not sure why they changed it from 1957 to 1988. Also, the beginning felt a little rushed, jumping from Penny Wise scaring each member of the Loser Club with no real continuity. While I know lots of people loved Tozier in the film, he kinda of felt out of place to me. I know he is the goofball and all, but middle schoolers didn't act and talk like he did back then. And as a few others have said, the bullies should have gotten more time and background. However, I still thought the movie was good and am only being a little nitpicky since I read the novel. And everyone I know who hasn't ready the book has loved the movie. My main question is if Henry is really dead since we all know how he plays out in the novel.
