Make sure to use the 360 ball thingy in the upper left hand corner. I didn't know about youtube 360 until today and didn't even pay attention to it and watched the whole thing the first time with a straight on view like it was a regular trailer, thinking this is fucking retarded. :oops: :ugeek:

And you gotta use Firefox or Chrome, or maybe Safari or whatever, some browsers like IE don't support the functionality.

Never used it either. Doesn't work with Safari, so I opened it in chrome. Interesting, but a bitch to load.

Saw the trailer in the cinema. Maybe I'm being a snob but it looked like generic horror to me. Could just be generic trailers.

That being said the girls behind me screamed a number of times. :P

It was the usual. Something runs across the screen. Something suddenly appears when a character turns around. Something pops out when the flashlight searches in the darkness. Just felt like lots of "typical" horror scenes.

I am not saying it won't be good. I just think that it's living a lot more on the memory of the old one and the fact that its a credibly done horror. It doesn't seem to have set itself apart (on the trailer) all that well. But if the current horror films coming out are to your liking, this should clearly be too. Everyone knows I've become averse to modern horror, especially when it comes to children. This very clearly has a lot of children in peril in it, and I'm just not able to deal with that very well. :P So I'm clearly not the intended audience.

Just got back from watching IT and it was ok. It didn't let up on the horror side of things, which was great. It was two hours of mostly non-stop Pennywise fucking with the kids. That said, there was tons of jump scares which I don't approve of, and they took the "float" thing too far. First, they cut it out of the Georgie bit, which is fucking ridiculous, but then they used it constantly after that to the point where I was getting annoyed. The film is all the kids' side of the story, but at the end it says "Chapter One", so I guess they plan on making a sequel with the adult shit. Dunno how I feel about that to be honest. Could be good, could be shit.

Also, no gang bang.

Hopefully one of these days, we'll get a faithful adaptation.
