11 SEP 2017 · When IT was first announced as being up on the remake slot (or re-adaptation if you want to approach it that way) I was not really that thrilled with the idea.  I once met the director of the 1990 TV miniseries version of IT.  I straight up told him that I blamed him for the reason I didn't like clowns.  Anyone in my age range will tell you that Tim Curry pretty much ruined the ever enjoying a clown again.  For me there was no way anyone could ever do Pennywise justice.  Tim Curry had terrified a whole generation with some grease paint and a wicked smile.
The longer it went on I hoped more and more that IT would be put in the old development hell section of Hollywood where things like Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash or such gems as a sequel to Bubba Ho-Tep seemed to live. Â I wouldn't get my wish. Â I began my crusade of denying this movie. Â Hell no we won't go . . . . to the cinema to see a new IT! Â The chant was awkward so I dropped it but I kept saying there was no way a new IT would be good. Â Then the first trailer hit. Â Suddenly a slight crack in my facade began to show. Â I was still adamant that Pennywise wouldn't be nearly as good as Tim Curry's but damn did the footage look pretty good.
Trailer 2 hit. Â The cracks were really showing now. Â IT actually looked scary. Â As much as I love the 1990 TV movie version because it scared my 10 year old self senseless it has lost some of the scary luster it once held and now I just appreciate it for how it USED to scare me. Â These trailers had made it look actually scary again. Â Yeah but still he was no Tim Curry. Â What I learned this weekend is that he didn't need to be.
I'd been waiting to hate on this movie since it was first announced and now here I sit opening weekend telling you I can't.  Don't get me wrong, it still has some quibbles with me, but I actually can say I really enjoyed it.  They took a story I've loved all my life and gave it a loving tribute to it's source material.  The time frame is updated to 1989.  Making the kids pretty much the same age I was when I saw IT for the first time.  Suddenly I'm caught in a nostalgia loop.  I'm reliving my childhood through these characters and they were also about to get the piss scared out of them by a killer clown.
The casting is about spot on perfect for me. Â I have no complaints what so ever. Â Bill is great as an awkward leader consumed by his brother's disappearance. Â Eddie is one sneeze away from being put into an iron lung by his over bearing mother. Â Richie is the foul mouthed class clown we all wished we could have been. Â And there's Bev. Â Poor poor Bevie. Â I worry about her a lot.
These kids feel like friends. Â It's no stretch of the imagination to see these kids hanging out. Â The chemistry on screen is near perfect. Â Henry Bowers has traded in his duck tail hair cut and leather jacket for a mullet and sleeveless t-shirts fitting right into the 1989 setting. Pennywise. Â Oh let me tell you about this Dancing Clown. Â Bill Skarsgard brings a new twist onto King's terrifying shape shifter. Â He doesn't try to do what Tim Curry did. Â He didn't do an impression. Â He creates something new. Â Which is exactly what you need in a remake like this. Â Something new. Â This evil clown doesn't lure you in with his innocent clown tricks. Â No. Â This clown lures you in with his smile and then keeps right on smiling as he rips your guts out. Â If Tim Curry gave 10 year old me nightmares then Skarsgard is going to give the almost 40 year old me some sleepless nights for the next few days.
I am pleading with you if you have been on the fence to give the new IT a try. Â And this is from a fan who denounced it from the start. Â Give it a chance. Â You might just get a few night terrors of your own.
I actually have seen IT twice this weekend.

13 APR 2017 · I grabbed my co-hosts from Challenged and we sat down to talk about this season of The Walking Dead. One of us loved this season, one of us hated this season, and one of us was indifferent. Things also take a weird turn as this was the second podcast we recorded this night and were already well into our stock of alcohol at this point. It gets weird.
