What Didn't You Like About ROTS?

I get the feeling this thread was created because of me. Because I ranked the Star Wars films largely in the order of frequency with which I had been watching them at the time.

It wasn’t. It was created long before you posted as frequently as you do. It was posted directly in response to a since-banned troll user named Bosk that created a thread titled What Didn’t You Like About TFA? so that he could repeatedly make the same complaints over and over again about how TFA was the worst film in recent memory.

Yeah I don’t like the face makeup, although without spoiling it there’s a neat effect in the movie that works in the lipstick design.

To be fair to the remake though, other than in the very first chapter, Pennywise the Dancing Clown in the book was never approachable and always obviously evil to the extreme.

Some of the friendly faces around here haven’t been so friendly lately. Lots of grouchiness. On the other hand, some people have changed over the years from friendly to cynical, sarcastic smart-you-know-whats. So sudden grouchiness and gradual grouchiness are coming to a head. Extra grouchiness all around.

Which one am I?

Eh, I guess you’re neither because I’ve always thought you were grouchy. No change at all 😉

Okay, good.

  • It (1990) – 6/10

I’ve never understood how anyone can sit through this entire series at once. The first part is okay, although even that is marred by awful and distracting flashbacks, but the second part is almost unwatchable. If Tim Curry weren’t in this, I don’t think anyone would even remember it.

Yup.
At least the original clown looks scary though. The new one does not. Clowns are scary because it’s a grown person going over the top to look “fun for kids!”. The new one is trying to look creepy. It don’t work that way with clowns.

He looks a lot less creepy but his actions are a lot more unsettling than Tim Curry’s. As much as I love his performance, Tim Curry is genuinely quite funny and amusing in parts of the miniseries. I thought the new clown costume looked pretty good particularly in the broad daylight scenes and the Niebolt house in the remake though. The promotional images didn’t do him justice. I still prefer the Curry costume overall though.
