"IT" Was Fucking Awesome

[Astonished]

I haven't seen it (saw the original...ugh...) but it's rare to see a Stephen King adaptation done well. I don't see why it's so hard to translate from the page to the screen when the source material is often so good (if a tad too long-winded sometimes). Glad to hear one was able to impress in the way that so many others failed to. I did like Thinner even though almost all of the older films of King stories are awful, and liked The Mist a lot (haven't seen the new TV series, just the film) even if the ending was different than the novella, so maybe I'll check out It sometime. I don't have any friends who've seen it (we're all waiting for Kingsman 2) so I have little to go on as far as recommendations but this makes me want to consider it. I usually like to read the book first but never got around to that one (intimidatingly thick for when I was in middle school), same thing with Dark Tower, only I was sure as hell not going to start that one since it's an entire series.
