Lookin back, some of you miserable mfers turning this thread into a Jordan vs LeBron stan off between Pennywise and Freddy

"I've always wondered how you taste..." - Pennywise to Marge.

Brehs... this is the line that makes me feel like IT is not just experiencing past, present, future at the same time.

It really leans into the idea that IT is in a LOOP.

This is the closest he's got to Marge.

That's a big fukking deal.

Wonder what Stephen King thought of the series? He usually offers his 2 cents on these sort of things

They ran everything by him and screened most of the season for him before it dropped. He's touched on it in a few articles including below:

“I like ‘Welcome to Derry’ a lot,” King, 78, exclusively told The Post. “There are plenty of horrors and lots of surreal visuals. There’s a supermarket scare that sticks in my mind, complete with pickle jars.”

They wanted his blessing even though they didn't really need it at that point, but he gave it + let em do their thing.

King strikes me as a person who doesn't get caught up in how faithful an adaptation is (The Shining not included) because he knows they'll get people wanting to read his books. And he probably likes being surprised with how filmmakers interpret his work.

Eh, some of these adaptations have done him dirty. He had to sue to keep his name off of Lawnmower man.

Eh, he has acknowledged that he has bad adaptations but Lawnmower man is the only one he used to get his name off of

Finale was good but I needed way more deaths than this at the end. We knew will was gonna live and there was rumors about Marge but I was ready for the rest to go

Only on the coli is having fun with two horror villains labeled “miserable”…

Many of those were from first time filmmakers and students, he tries to support aspiring makers by letting them use his works

Yeah even the jump from ep 3 to 4 was noticeable due to the 8 month actors strike.

Anyway, read the article before bed so don’t have a link, but welcome to derry hasn’t actually been greenlit for season 2 (or 3) yet…which is fukking terrible to hear given we know HBO will be sold somehow. This show is at risk both creatively and due to budget, I really hope Netflix wins as I feel they’re the only current buyer who is ok putting up big money for shows, that said, they also cancel stuff prematurely

The producers said King told them that even he doesn't really know It's true origins like that, lol, so even he was excited to see what they would come up with. I think as long as you don't b*stardize the spirit of whatever work of his that you adapt, he's pretty cool with it for the most part. Plus, the man is damn near 80 now? I'm sure one of the last thing he's concerned with is being anal-retentive & overly-protective at this point lol.

Glad my boy Rich came through with the assist

Black hero. Strong Black family. No gay black dude. Pawging. Crazy Pawg. Cute black love story.

This should be the Coli’s favorite show


My hopes for season 2 is to switch things up and have that eras loser club be a family. Kids going missing during the Great Depression
