Re: movies
The IT trailer dropped and im curious to know how everyone feels about remaking this classic.
Poltergeist was a complete bomb so i'm less than optimistic about this.
I re-watched IT a couple months ago and i gotta admit, I'm not sure it holds up well. Regardless, it's still a classic that falls into the category of "please stop doing unnecessary remakes", at least IMO.

I'm cautiously optimistic. That Stephen King has signed off on it at least means they're honoring the source material.
The original was definitely a pants-crappening event when it aired, but it was a TV thing. And TV things from that era tend not to hold up.

I'm guessing the kid orgy doesn't make the cut this time either.

At least they're remaking something with room for improvement, I guess?

Finally watched Kong: Skull Island last night. (It's not the greatest Kong movie ever, that would be The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters) However, it was a really good spectacle movie. Thought it had a pretty fresh approach and take.

Re: movies
I went to see "Ghost In The Shell" last night, a preview screening I won tickets for. It was...alright. To me, it felt like what the people of the 1980s thought the future would look like (which I guess is understandable given the source material, but it's still a bit silly). When one of the characters began to remind me of a sexy Max Headroom is when I think I checked out.
