The Review: It Welcome To Derry Finale

It Welcome To Derry Finale 10/10

Holy crap this was an amazing series! Eight episodes and not one of them dragged or was useless which is how any show that isn't some twenty-something episode long series should be. Not one could be skipped. Damn. This starts off with a thick fog rolling across Derry and everyone like “What's happening here?” Except this one woman that is smiling all creepy like Pennywise. The military and their dumb asses are watching from their base tracking what is going down but doing nothing because this is what they wanted!

It Welcome To Derry Episode 7

Well...shit. This was an incredible episode that broke my lady and thousands of others online. First it starts off with Bob Gray aka Pennywise the Clown minus the evil alien monster inside of him. Just a single father performing a live show for the children. The kids rush the stage after he is done. His daughter, who we know as Ingrid , says the kids loved the show which they did. Ingrid shows up in a clown costume of her own to surprise her father. He names her Periwinkle which is turns out was her mothers name. Also, later looking at the image from his sad show I noticed that the paintings on the wall were of his late wife. Later that night while smoking and drinking this kid emerges from the woods like “Kids like you.” Then there is a scream and the kid says its his mother. Bob Gray and the kid head into the woods. Later while looking for her father the carnival people hand Ingrid his bloody handkerchief that was found in the woods.

Ooh, this one was a crazy one! Shaw finally tells Leroy what he plans on doing with the different pieces from where It landed that the Native Americans used to entrap him in the woods. He sends Leroy and a team to go into the sewers from that creepy ass house to go and do...something. Like I have said, this is a terrible plan. Meanwhile the natives are having a meeting talking about “Yep. Its about that time where this town loses its fucking mind.” Rose lets Shaw know this is a bad idea but this man is locked in on using Pennywise or whatever as a weapon of fear. Rose also gives her nephew a piece of the meteor as a weapon to use against Pennywise.

Oh god this show gets more insane with each passing episode. Shaw, the military dude running everything, is shown as a child in Derry with his military father. He goes into the most not fun looking fun house ever created and eventually ends up seeing this bony old man with missing eyes. Shaw gets a slingshot from his dad and their car breaks down. He meets a young Native girl named Rose. They hang out and one day Shaw heads into the woods where he gets chased by the bone man but its really Pennywise chasing and about to kill him until Rose uses his slingshot to hurt him and they escape. After this she tells the story of the woods. She will regret this. As adults Shaw visits Rose who is working at a pawn shop and lies to her what all the digging the military is doing is really about.

This show crazy as hell. So far within the first two episodes its better than the movies were. I would say they have more time to flesh out the kid characters but...yeah. Not so fast. It starts in 1962 with this boy named Matty that snuck into a theater. He gets chased out and this girl who works there with her father doesn't rat him out. We find out more about her later. Matty escapes and starts hitching a ride. A family picks him up and seem nice. Like, way too nice even for the 60's. Its a mother, father, son, and daughter. The boy is spelling shit. The girl is being weird trying to make Matty smell her liver fingers. The mom starts calling the daughter a hussy. Its weird. Matty asks to get out the car and the mother goes into labor and gives birth to a damn bat baby that starts flying and screeching around the car! This is the last we see if Matty...alive.

It Chapter 2 (3/10)

I absolutely loved the first It movie it seems. Looking back I don't remember liking it as much as I did. I also have vague memories of the mini series. My lady recently watched the old one. She didn't enjoy the newer one that much. We both watched this one together and...yeah. I don't even have all that much to really say about it. Mike calls everyone back because Pennywise is back and killing folk. Mike sounds like a damned lunatic most of the time, drugs his friend, lies to them all. He sounds like the worst. This movie was far too long feeling and we split it up into about three different watchings to get through it. The ending didn't even feel all that satisfying.

Theater Whore: IT

IT 9/10

This movie was awesome. Oh, there will be spoilers, ya big babies. H. and I headed to the Arclight and got to check out IT. I have never read the book and barely watched the first one because we watched it in class. Yeah. That's the kind of school I went to. I say this to point out that I have no emotional attachment to this movie and no concerns whether or not it was as good as the first or if it stuck to the source material of the book. I just wanted it to not suck and not only did it not suck this was one of the best movies I've seen this year.
