I’m surprised at all the negativity in this thread. If you’re a fan of this grrm universe, I don’t see how you can NOT be excited about this.
It won’t need your help on the ratings, it will be stupidly successful

Scary as hell. Seriously?
Yea I get it the movie is a “slow burn” but this movie sucks honestly. I guess it’s worth a watch but I went into it with high expectations and it sucked

One of the articles I read said he had stated he had no interest in doing another. But you never know, if this one is really successful he may reconsider

Saw it today with zero prior knowledge of the books. I left the theatre thinking “I really liked it but feel like I’m not sure what just happened” After reading a few explanations of the ending, (the Screenrant and Collider articles are good) I have a better understanding and even more appreciation for it. I enjoy movies that kind of leave you scratching your head at the end.
I would definitely recommend catching this one in the theatre. The visuals and score were great.

re: I have a friend who said hes never seen field of dreams, major league, or sandlot

Based on age, I could excuse not seeing one of these. Like maybe too young for Field of Dreams, or too old to every catch Sandlot. But to not see ANY of those three?!!
Even if he HATES baseball, he should watch Major League. Hilarious

Although I thought the part with Leia coming back from floating in space was pretty dumb

If this board was around when A New Hope came out people would have probly hated on it too. Just saw TLJ and enjoyed it, especially the last hour or so. Of course there were things we can nitpick over but I’m easy to please I guess
re: Star Wars TLJ, great sci-fi, horrible saga film .

There are too many threads about Star Wars, so create another thread about how there are too many Star Wars threads

I know this board absolutely creams for this movie, I guess I need to give it a rewatch..
re: Your favorite Wire character?

I hated Marlo.
He came off as such a stone cold badass, but they never showed him doing anything that would warrant such a reputation. He should have been given a little more backstory as to how he became top dog.
Maybe it was explained and I just don't remember. It's been a couple years since I finished it

Saw it today, enjoyed it from start to finish.
It had some good comedic relief but the theatre wasn't laughing the whole time.
I agree that the acting was solid, the "pervy" dialogue seemed very on line with my times as a 13 year old.
Kind of wish I didn't see the trailer as it kind of gave away what to expect at certain parts, but I agree the part in the garage definitely got me.
Pennywise ruled dude

re: The early tales in Tolkien's world seem more epic than LOTR/later tales.

The battles in The Silmarillion are definitely on a much much bigger scale. I would love to see it adapted as a Netflix series or something. I think you could skip a lot of the creation of middle earth stuff and start with the awakening of the elves and still make it work well.
Fingolfin vs Morgoth was one of the best things I've ever read.

About 1/3 through The Shining. Love the movie so figured I'd read the book.

I just finished Oz and thought it was very good. HBO Go and OnDemand has all the episodes. Thought it was just ok at first, but then I really got hooked by the end of season 1
