I'm not going to say COVID restrictions are good. But getting COVID (even a mild Omicron case), still suck ass. 0/10 experience.

Generally though, if they can protect their main stars and other people in charge to keep delays down. Then I think it's a smart move.

Kind of. I think Pennywise pops up out of the drain and starts taunting the kid. The TV Mini had some good parts and some "lol. Seriously?" parts too.

Both movies and TV Mini kind did away with the destruction of Derry. I will say the Tim Curry ending felt closer to the ending of the book. >!Beating Pennywise to death, rather than insulting him till he shrinks and then ripping out his heart. !<

Didn't he mention that he also edits his own manuscripts and usually waits like 3-5 weeks before a re-read/rewrite.

I think most Publishers and editors know that his books sell more than anybody else, and have for the past 50 years. So they allow them the comfort to kind of do whatever he wants.

I felt that It had a bit more highs than lows, but the lows were kind of "wtf?" and a bit stupid. The highs?

>!The whole backstory on Derry. THe Lumbermill massacre. The gangsters getting shot to death while Pennywise dances in the background. Pennywise basically turning into 60's and 70's type monsters while tormenting the kids. !<

That stuff was the best parts of the book to me. Some of the other stuff was a bit of a slog to get through.

I was even shocked that he was a clone, and the OG Bernard died years ago.

I liked SOME episodes in the later seasons. But the seasons basically became Good Episodes, Bad Season.

They would introduce a really neat idea and then basically not follow up on it at all or have it play out in the background (due to not having the budget). Season 6 with Alpha's and the Weapons of Heaven went nowhere.
