I was going to start a thread about the It trailer. I have mixed feelings.
It is my favorite book. Part of that is because of the time I was reading it, when I was at a crossroads between being a child and becoming a grown-up. It was a hard time for me, and the power of the story touched me in a way no story has since. I think the mini-series is ok for what it is, and has some strong points, especially the casting, but ultimately it is a TV mini-series and could only do so much with a 1000+ page novel.
The cinematography on this film looks amazing, and while I've never been to Maine, I feel like I have with all the King books I've read, and I am sure they do Derry justice. Then I realized it only showed the 7 as kids, not adults. Then I read that this Part 1, featuring the kids. Which is weird, since the book isn't told that way. The point of the book is the 7 as adults revisiting their childhood, and all the joys and horrors that went along with it and made them who they are. Telling the story of the 7 as kids could be an interesting tale, but not as powerful as the novel.
I'm tired, and could go on with this book forever. I wonder how much of Patrick Hotstetter's story they will show. The 'missing' picture of him gave me chills.
On topic, if anyone should sue, it should be Robert Browning, not this "hey I wish my books sold a billion copies" guy I've never heard of.
