1. That movie is so god-awful
that its mere mention needs to be followed by the immediate and vigorous banging of a head against a wall. :banghead:

10. You should watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space
It's campy. You'll like it. I promise the clowns won't spook you.

11. I've never seen it but I read the book and the clown is terrifying
The ending is the stupidest thing imaginable.

15. the first two hours are pretty good,
while they are reliving the kids childhoods.

the second two hours of the "present" do suck.

it is impossible to make a good stephen king movie. there is way to much in them, it would take 20 hours of movie to make one book.

plus he has a LOT of adult content. it would never make it onto the "teeVEE" (as randi says). that clown in IT was a child molester.

16. The best Stephen King movie was "The Stand"
I thought it did a good job of capturing the spirit of the book. I especially loved the casting of Tom and Nick. Oh and the Trashcan Man.
