Lol! I’m not usually a fan of Stephen King. But, I did like the new movie! It definitely played on the childhood fears and took out some of the… somewhat awkward perverted stuff that Stephen King seems to love, if you’ve even read the book you may know what I’n talking about! Lol! I’m glad you had fun!!! And I look forward to the reviews on the books you got! 😀

I haven’t read the book in over twenty years, so I’m definitely going to have to reread it before the second movie comes out next year. I loved the miniseries and its cast, and thought this was a stellar adaptation. I can’t wait to see who they cast as the adult members of the Losers Club.😊

That’s what I was thinking!! I’m wondering if they’ll go for bigger stars like they did in the older mini series, or if they’ll cast no names… It’ll be interesting to see!
