Interstellar/Martian numbers.

@iJackSparrow Do you ever play the Derby? Spidey is still going strong in the derby for week #11. What do you think it will do this weekend?

I know it is a completely different scenario, but I am keeping an eye on Man of Steel. It was at 128.7 after its first weekend, and 210.1 after weekend #2. It should be at the same mark of 210 after weekend #2. There could be a chance it finishes at 291 like MOS but I certainly hope not! This is the one thing that has been distracting me from 300M thinking.

there is more visual effects in the book than in the movie

??

Well I'm glad I saw it again before posting on here. After my first viewing, I was pissed off and gave it a C. I finished the book Thursday night and saw the movie Sunday afternoon. I rewatched the miniseries in between. Upon the second viewing, I ignore the book and took it as the movie it was. I purposely reserved my seat on discount Tuesday late at night assuming a sold out crowd, and when I arrived late to my reserved seat, the box office said sold out. The experience was good and I enjoyed it more, So I am upping this to a B. I guess it is a good movie. But ughh, where do I even begin? I will start with the worst. When It took Beverly and the kids had to go rescue her. Damsel in distress...wtf!? I really think it followed an Avengers like plot. They all got into a fight and broke up, girl gets kidnapped by super villian and the heroes come together with their magic to defeat the evil. Like seriously? I guess I can forgive that they ignored the Barrens as the main setting with the sewer pipes leading to deep dark musty depths underneath Derry where they find It's lair, and then how they replace this climax with It living under the house on Neibolt street where it has a sunroof....lol. I did not mind the special effects either. The book is loaded with special effects and the budget restraints left most of it out. The scene in the garage with the projector I liked. It totally got me. I did not see that coming. I also liked that scene because that is something that could have been in the book. I thought that was a well written insert into the original story. The only special effect that made me mad was the hair in the sink pulling Beverly downward. This is not Mama or The Grudge. There did not need to be CGI hair shooting out and doing that. STUPID! The teeth were fine. They were scarier than the miniseries. Another complaint is the lack of character development of Henry Bowers. His specific targeting of Ben Hanscom and carving the H on his stomach could have used a quick scene at the school as motivation rather than them just waiting on him because school is out. In the book, Ben Hanscom defied them in some way first which made them act out worse. And when he targets Mike Hanlon, again, no setup. Maybe if Henry's dad was not a cop and instead was a farmer who was competing with the Hanlon's would have made more sense? lol. Ok what else? Beverly looked older than the boys. Bill Denbrough was supposed to be the alpha of the group, but he was a bit scrawny for me. In the book, he is the guide. Everyone is lost without him. They always look to him for decisions. Ben Hanscom looks younger then everyone else. Greta Gerwig has a job at the pharmacy. Eddie was too aggressive and seemed too alive and animated. Again, no barrens but I said i would forgive that since there is really nothing else I can do about it expect fret. No barrens = the less dramatic rock fight. Without the strong Barrens setting, there was nothing to claim after the rock fight. However the Barrens were beautiful. All the scenery was just like how I imagined it. Sooo much better than the miniseries where it was just one set with the kissing bridge in the background. Since entering the barrens to get to the sewer to defeat It was not in the film, then neither was Henry and his gang chasing them into the sewers and getting picked off with Henry remaining and taking the blame for all the missing children (after they find his father dead). So finally I will revisit my #1 complaint. Bev getting taken. Seriously, the director and the writer could have pulled it off fine getting the motive to get the Losers Club to go after It on their own without having to team up and save Bev being there motivation. They could have added scenes with some of them where their bravery in the encounters with It scared it off. Stan and his birds. Bill and his speech. Any sort of strength and It is repulsed. Then they take their strength a group and beat It on willpower. Ughhhh, so frustrating. Hope they do this in the sequel.

Get Out must have sold well on digital because it is bombing below Great Wall on home video release

what if I was not going to rank Mimic, but when watching Guillermo del Toro's directors cut that was finally released in 2011, I would rank that. or if we were doing 1979, what if I hated Apocalypse Now, but I loved Apocalypse now Redux. How would we go about that?

TELL ME SOMETHING THAT I DON'T KNOW

I am going to come right out and say it. I like Contact more than Titanic.

I think it will hit 10M right on the nose.

your welcome

Stephen King said he would not write a sequel, but if he did, I read an interesting idea someone posted on a stephen king forum. He said 27 years later (perhaps) some kids could be investigating the Derry floods of 1985 and be interviewing Mike Hanlon at the library, just like how Mike Hanlon use to interview people. http://stephenking.com/xf/index.php?threads/it-continued.14072/

It seems like Pennywise sells himself to George, but with everyone else he wastes no time scaring the crap out of kids and scaring them away. With everyone else, Pennywise will appear and act strange, then snarl or something, giving people a chance to run away and no time to lure them in. I never got that. It is not a good way to sell yourself to get the food, but the book says he has to feed on fear. So he has to scare them first. But that brings be back to the first sentence. With Georgie it was all cotton candy and popcorn until he reached in far enough for the boat to get his arm ripped off. It is like in Return of the Jedi when the emperor is sitting in his throne selling the dark side to Luke by saying "Kill your father and fulfill your destiny at my side. THis is where you will be from now on" it is like.....yeah okay, I'd rather die then join you. The emporer could not make the dark side seem more unappealing than in ROTJ. Was Luke just expected to roll over and serve the emporer just because the emperor wanted him to?

It takes on the form of what the children fear, but is Pennywise the dancing clown one of his own forms, independent of any particular kids imagination. The miniseries said how the spider shape is the best thing It can take form into in order to feed. I assume that It takes on the form of Pennywise to interact and scare children and it takes on the form of Mr. Gray for the same reasons? So the spider, Mr Gray, and Pennywise are all of its chosen forms??

I do not think the start of football season + work and school nights are going to hurt It THAT BAD. If demand is high, people are going to see it regardless and sporting events will be transcended.

Naaa, I just Hillary'd, that is all. No way I will recover. I put THe House and Detroit over 100M. I Had the Mummy at 170. LOL
