Yeah, they are doing it the same way as the mini series. It will be the losers as kids in the first movie and their return as adults in the second movie. And the director is now in talks to do Pet Cemetery if this goes well.

Not even a minute into chapter 2:
"He was just a queer." Oh this is going to be a fun chapter. Quote:
...But the gore was refreshing considering how vanilla the movie was.

Monologues cause I have nothing else better to do than waste your time:
Lordy even for just listening to someone else read the book it's so BORING at times. Like is it entirely necessary to tell us EVERYTHING in Eddy's medicine cabinet?? I thought I was going to grow old and die before we got to the end of the list! I did however enjoy Ben's introduction in the book MUCH better than in the (original) movie. The concern expressed from the bartender really adds to the fear you're supposed to feel for this character and realize just how horrified he is to go home again. Not like in the movie where he was drunk with some broad who got turned on by hearing about his little boy fat rolls.

I wouldn't say a fault per-say. It's probably just harder for someone with ADD to focus on the same thing for so long. It's likely a good thing to be so descriptive, especially when adapting to a movie. The whole thing is written out RIGHT THERE, there's no excuse for getting everything so wrong! Unlike in a book where you have to take a lot of time to read all the details, movies have the benefit of showing everything in one frame. You experience the environment as the characters interact with it, saving time that King dedicates so much of in written words. The book is certainly giving me some more respect for King because of that.

LOL! The last few posts have been a very amusing read!
King is long winded and descriptive beyond what is needed and it drives me crazy sometimes. I unashamedly admit to just scanning a paragraph or two when it's obvious he's going to spend 590 words describing a shoe, or the type of glue someone used to seal their asshole shut. That said, what remains after that is simply exceptional. I can handle the babbling on, because the rest pays off so well. I'm halfway through the hard cover and I just picked up the audio book, which I'm planning to listen to about a week after I finish the novel. My thoughts on this re-read... I'm happily recalling how much I loved The Losers Club when I first read this book years ago. As these vulnerable, sweet and lonely kids all band together I feel more and more dread at the Evil they are coming up against, and will continue to encounter. I hate seeing them in peril but I celebrate every one of their victories. |

That being said I loved the "coming of age" tale of the losers club. Those kids were a cool group. I also would have enjoyed more perspective from Pennywise as well. Now I gotta re-watch It in prep for the redo. EDIT- looks like Im not alone in the long winded descriptions :)
