Every time bbdl says he doesnt like something for some reason it makes me like it better

Enjoy your time watching Twister. It's on some random channel 3 times a week.

I remember enjoying it when it came out, but after a few months of my wife wanting to watch it every time it is on (which really is 3 times a week), I was permanently burned out on flying cows.

They decided to do the blood oath instead. A good call.

Yes, a much better gash.

Response: Whoa, I didn't know about her pulling their virginity train. I have a lot of problems with the current reduction of everything sexual through a narrow and childishly polemical first year gender studies lens, but yup that's way too far for me, too. I don't exactly look to Stephen King for Margaret Atwood-level understanding of female psychology (or for that matter tropes of sexuality that were only concocted in the Grievance Lab a decade after he wrote his story) but still, use your head, dude. Very glad they steered clear of that sh-t.

I blame the cocaine.

Yeah that part of the book was always ***. I blame the cocaine.

Spoilers: Excellent Pennywise, both live and CGI. The girl who played Bev is going to be something amazing. Per Bev: let this be a lesson to you, nerd lads. You can figure everything out, write beautiful poetry, and save the pretty girl from zombie near-death but the b-tch is still going to go for the taller better looking guy, so go for the smart girl. The peripheral kids (the black kid, the Jewish kid) were pointless -- either develop them more or cut them. Congrats on Bowers staying a sh-t until the end, I was afraid after Daddy's embarrassment he was going to be rehabilitated by the Loser's Club as muscle but they kept the faith. Great first scene with Georgia, both with the conversation and the brutal death. Supposedly they cut a scene with Bev being actually raped by her father; better that way -- the hint is far eerier.

You should watch some of the behind the scenes stuff with the kids and Skarsgard. Off camera they are great together. The kids are awesome. Look up the episode of the movie trivia schmoedown that features the It cast. Sophia Lillis, Jaeden Lieberher and Finn Wolfhard all have great futures ahead. Thankfully they cut the child rape (although its more than implied and hellishly creepy) and the orgy between Bev and the boys after they defeat It. Even Stephen King wishes he had never written that into the book. If you have read the books or seen the 1990 miniseries you know A) Henry Bowers might not be dead and B) part 2 has the potential to be boring as hell. The adult portion of the story is weak. The origins of It works fine in the book, but will not relate well to a mass movie audience in 2019. Hopefully Part 2 will be heavy on the flashbacks to childhood.

I love Twister if for no other reason it's the first movie the wife and I saw together in Thailand. Our first first was Spy Hard in Bahrain. When she laughed at Leslie Nielsen I knew I had a keeper.

Watching Independence Day for the first time in 20 years.

I say this with a full appreciation of the gravity of the claim. It gives Roadhouse a run. It is MUCH more of a hoot than I remembered.

That movie is still great fun. Unlike Twister (think they came out around the same time) which is complete trash.

It ain't St. Crispin's Day speech, but the we will not go quietly into the night speech was pretty good.

Alan Bloom thinks the Saint Crispin's Day speech is a Starship Troopers parody. He doesn't believe Bill would have written such dreck on purpose.
