    I enjoyed the first part of the remake, my favourite was all the NKOTB references. The second Part was awful to me.

  • Yes..I laughed out loud when Bev revealed the poster on his closet door.  Hilarious.  They should have made at least a dozen more jokes about it.

    That is the only movie that both my wife and daughter walked out of. My daughter is terrified of clowns, my better half has it for spiders, so when Pennywise morphed into a giant spider, it got both of them.
    The movie didn't bother me, the book made me want to chunder. What the kids did to keep Pennywise down the first time ... they COULDN'T film that bit.
    Stephen King has a diseased mind. He probably keeps it in a jar on his desk, next to the heart of a small boy.

    It was an awful movie imo...they should have just left it alone. I didnt find the giant spider clown scary though... just stupid for me. As far as the book, I could never get into reading Steven King...for me he just goes into details about the most boring things. I forget the book but was going on for 3 pages about the colours of auras...I’m out, I’ll watch the movie lol.

    I know but it has had the name since Feb 20 by the World Health Organization. 

    https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/naming-the-coronavirus-disease-(covid-2019)-and-the-virus-that-causes-it

    The SARS-CoV-2 (SARS-2) is the name of the virus.  Covid-19 is the name of the disease caused by the virus.

    Media do not want to use SARS-2 because we know that name. We beat that virus. So cannot have as much of a scare effect of people.  This post was edited by my2cents at March 10, 2020 7:07 AM MDT
