StepHen kings IT

 

About five years ago I was walking in to get my grandfather for dinner and when I did so he was naked flaunting his junk without a care in the world, just like the movie "IT" except my grandfather haunted me to this day. "IT" is more like a case study of what would a few hungry kittens do in a box together. When I think of "IT" I really only see my grandfather's grin as he knew the image of a rabid bush eating an elderly worm will forever be burned into my brain. But lets see... "IT" had a weird premise... not really... lets say weird stands for TOO LONG of a movie and lets say ... PREMISE ... means no scares. The opening is really where it shows the low budget unhorrific nature of the entire movie. A child playing with water and a boat... the little paper boat floats to a storm drain and woosh goes away as (long story short) a clown pops up and says "THEY ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE JORGY" and then opens mouth and the camera tilts and zooms into his mouth. Did you feel it yet? Did you feel the hot twinge of fear overcome your flesh or did you feel like I did and ejected the movie from the vcr years ago when you got it on VHS. Yeah ... I made sure when I bought the tape long time to stick it on a shelf and use it as a decoration cause just like every STEPHEN KING NOVEL ... they look better on display and in theory then actually in context. I lay awake some times dreaming about how good this movie could have been when I'm not looking up leaked celebrity nude photos on my phone, so what I mean by that is I haven't laid awake looking up and thinking about how much better this movie could have been. I really believe that there are two movies TIM CURRY wishes he never did... ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.... and IT. This movie impacted me so much that now when people talk about horror movies and they speak about this one being one of the best... I make sure to dip my finger (which by this time has been in the toilet along the rim) into their drink before the end of the night so they can truely keep up their routine of only enjoying shit.
