I thought it was OK but it was very sluggish at times. Since it was three hours I thought there would be more weird stuff and details from the book ....but there wasnβt. Just random scenes. I thought for sure they would do some cool parts of the book ending and was let down when they didnβt. I thought they skipped over a lot of storytelling in place of meandering tasks. Having the characters go do something, even if it was not progressing the story, it was filling time. Also the middle part reminded me a lot of ENDGAME. But Bill Hader rules in it. letterboxd.com/benxpete/film/it-chapter-two/

I thought IT Chapter Two was OKAY at best. Way too long, way too many clearly improved comedy bits by the actors. If it would've been a 2 hour cut with a lot of the fluff removed I would think it was probably a solid 7/10.

Drive Ins rule. There's a documentary called At The Drive In about the volunteers and community that supports it somewhere in Pennsylvania. It's really sweet.

Scored some tickets for a few Beyond Fest screenings: Color Out of Space (Richard Stanley's directorial return), Jojo Rabbit, Parasite, Come to Daddy, The Long Goodbye with Elliot Gould Q+A, and Natural Born Killers with Q+A with Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, and Oliver Stone.

IT 2 was wack. The ways they insert references to King's other novels was so cringe. Also, why the fuck is Xavier Dolan just popping up in acting roles in bigger movies all of the sudden?

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was great. All in all I think it's my fave Tarantino film. No drawn out dialogue, no wasted scenes. Just great storytelling and great performances. The entire ending was just perfect. It's been one of the worst years for movies I can think of and this really hit the spot.

its been a weird year for sure. I would have trouble with a legit top 10 list right now. But OUATIH is an all timer...hopefully going on to Oscar glory. There's some good stuff coming out in the coming months, but 3 of them are NETFLIX releases so that's a bummer.
JOKER won Venice yesterday. Titaly loves Scorsese and I forgot Todd Phillips did that WAR DOGS movie which was a wannabe Scorsese and Im sure the JOKER is as well, even more so.
Film Twitter is trying to tell us that HUSTLERS is legit good...the J-LO stripping movie. Im all for it, if it is.
MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN seems interesting. Ed Norton cop/crime/noir
KNIVES OUT also got wonderful praise after its TIFF debut

I have high hopes for these next 3+ months. Looking forward to a lot of stuff. Can't wait to see the new Scorsese, the Ed Norton flick, and the movie with Imperioli and Harley.

Although I have enjoyed some of his previous work, Mike Flannagan is treading on very unsteady ground by using Kubrick's vision of the Shining as the primary source material for his film. Also, much like the recent IT: Chapter 2, this movie looks like it cares way more about being "epic" than it does being horrific. The Shining is in my top 5 movies, but you'll need more than the music and iconography of the film to reel me in.

I love It. Many found it good to serviceable, but I thought it had it all: acting, humor, frights, pacing. It Chapter 2 was incredibly okay-ish the entire running time. The dialogue was stilted, the performances too earnest, the flashback scenes boring, and it never established a good sense of place. The first felt like a fucking adventure. This one feels very small and boxed in, which is funny given the runtime.

Really disappointed to hear that It Chapter 2 is apparently a bust.

It was so good. And I grew up in eastern NC and man it felt so nostalgic for me. They really nailed a lot of details. Also, the nursing home was named after the nursing home in my tiny ass hometown.

Rocketman is a hunk of shit. Me and the wife made it nearly 20 minutes before giving up and watched Raisin in the Sun with Sidney Portier instead. Excellent movie by the way. All I remember about this movie is the line about "childish warlocky white shoes"

Iβm guessing the pre-juvenile orgy scene from the book doesnβt make it into Chapter 2 either?

It was 27 years from the first movie to the remake (same amount of years It comes out of hiding). Maybe 27 years from now they'll get it right. Have it take place in the 50s with the kids seeing It as the Universal Monsters. You know, the most interesting thing about the whole fucking book.

At least there isn't any weird sexual tension with Annette O'toole and John Ritter in this chapter 2

JoJo Rabbit's debut at TIFF doesn't go over that well. 51 on Metacritic.

Okay so I loved Face/Off just like everyone else, and itβs still considered one of the best action movies but all time. But when I have it a rewatch, I thought it was pretty lame.
