Like a giant middle finger to the audience and our collective lack of desire to have our movies have even the bare minimum of intelligence or thought put into the events that take place.

My 11 year old LOVES movies like i do, but when he looked at me after it was done and said, "What the hell was that?", you know it's bad.

With the new Stephen King IT spinoff TV show I watched both the IT movies yesterday (about 10 years late at this point).

The first one is Stand By Me with body horror. I loved it. Really liked the kids, the relationships, and the genuine fear factor. 8/10

The second one was like 3 hours and it felt like they shoe horned in much of the first movie as though people wouldn't have seen it. I liked the performances of Hader and Chastain, but again the kid scenes were many of the highlights. By the end it felt pretty tedious and as though "make the clown bigger!" was the strategy. Would give it 6/10 at most.

I've read that both films are faithful to the book - which I have now ordered. I am looking forward to the TV show.
