[Pentagrimes]

I think the Tim Curry version was much better especially considering it was a made for TV movie with a tight budget. The clown looked and acted a lot better.

No, let's all be honest about this now because nostalgia has fogged this for a lot of people, myself included. Tim Curry's performance aside, it's really not that great. Sat through it again just before the first of the movies came out and it's mediocre.

I re-watched the original before the first part was released and it's definitely not held up (but was good for it's time) however there are some parts that still freak me out more so than the newer ones.

The first kill where the little girl is out playing and she see's him through the washing line... then his face suddenly changes to this dead stare at her.. then the camera zooms to her face. Fuck that shit still gives me goosebumps. 

Tim Curry is just an amazing actor in that aspect, what he can do with a look even covered in make up. Similar to him in Legend, so good.

There's a documentary about the 1990 version on the way, looks good, even if the series itself hasn't held up at all. Oul' Tim is pretty fucked these days though, he had a stroke or something along those lines a few years ago, he's wheelchair-bound now.

Yeah, massive stroke back in 2012. Won't ever act again

Maybe it's a bit of nostalgia for me but I honestly did not enjoy anything from either of the remakes and the clown was just terrible. I re watched the TV  movie back in 2017 about a week after I saw chapter 1 and still enjoyed it but I also took it for what it was a made for TV movie from 1990 in the same way I can still enjoy Fulci or Argento films even though most of the special effects look terrible by today's standards.. Tim's performance just outshines anything from the remakes.  The 1990's Pennywise looks like something from a nightmare whereas the 2017 Pennywise looks like something a toddler sketched.

Classic picture would love a poster of it.

I don't like that show Criminal Minds but I remember seeing an episode with Tim Curry as a serial killer and his performance was outstanding.

I think we can at least agree Tim Curry is amazing. And that the new "It" is bollocks.

[Carnage]

I liked the first one, have yet to see the second one. The clown is crap though, in fairness.

Saw the new Rambo really enjoyed it. Story was good and some great gore scenes. Apparently it's getting some heat for having racist and xenophobic attitudes towards Mexico . Who are the people getting paid stupid money to come up with this shit?

Think I will rewatch the others now soon. I only remember 3 being bad. The one from 10 years ago was very good.

First positive feedback I've seen for it, it's getting poor reviews. Which version did you see? The UK, US and some other territiry got a version that's 12 mins. shorter than the standard version, which has an extended opening featuring him trying to rescue someone from a flood.

[Juggz]

There are two floods. Are you referring to the... first flood?

Sorry.


I went to see Ad Astra, not bad. It falls apart a little if you start thinking but it's a decent sci-fi to just sit back and absorb.

Sorry.

NO NO NO NO .. STOP IT NOW FUCKER 

Ad Astra, yeah I was wondering how that holds up. Seeing high scores on line but more negative reviews. I guess it's just being compared to interstellar for the most part.

I don't remember any flood I would guess it's the US version I saw. It was the first time I think I have ever been at a film where the majority of the audience stood up and started clapping at the end. I really enjoyed I read nothing about the story before going to it so I had no idea what was going to happen. My only complaint was how short it was. It started at 8.15 and was over at 9.35.

Very annoying that they are cutting it shorter for difference regions just show everyone the same film.

It's great to see Stallone still has it the recent Rockys have even been good as well whereas I hold out no hope for the new Terminator.

First Terminator is the best and number two is a close second. 3 was terrible and I didn't bother with anymore after that.

I saw it last week too and enjoyed it. I'd no idea about the story or anything around it, just wanted to see John Rambo fucking people up and it delivered.

Only criticism I'd have is the end scene could have been made a bit longer, seemed to just fly through the set pieces and then it's suddenly over

[mickO)))]

The ending was a bit abrupt. Some of the gore scenes were great like what he did to the pimp outside the nightclub.

Jesus.

It's the opening to the extended version, and apparently sheds light on his motivations as the film progresses. I know nothing about it other than it involves an evil Mexican cartel (presumably being royally fucked up), so can't say how it affects anything.
