#it 1986

Stephan King don’t mention a women’s boobs the second she’s introduced, challenge level impossible

they dont know that pennywise is actually a pregnant alien spider. they dont know that mike hanlon is the beating heart of the narrative. they dont know about bev’s first date. they don’t know about eddie kaspbrak’s gucci loafers. they don’t know about the teenage werewolf. they don’t know will hanlon. they don’t know aloysius nell. they don’t know kay mccall. they dont know that mike plays the trombone. they don’t know about the turtle. they don’t even know about “STEVEN SPIELBERG EAT YOUR HEART OUT!”

say what you will about IT (1990) as an adaptation but i think the creative choice of changing the narrative so that eddie kaspbrak could come out as a virgin, share (unprompted) that it’s because the only people he loves enough to fuck are the members of his 80% male childhood friend group, and then immediately kick the bucket is actually the greatest thing ever. Amazing. no notes. genius work.
