Also, most people are fed up with having to have 5 or 6 different streaming services. The value is no longer there.

100% Columbo vibes. There’s even an episode of Columbo where the crime plays out in the reflection of the murderer’s sunglasses that I swear the Poker Face posters/billboards are referencing.

My husband and I have done a couple double features on Thursdays - one episode of Poker Face followed by one episode of Columbo. It’s extra satisfying when the plots kind of line up!

Whether or not IT is the some facet of the Crimson King will probably never truly be definitively stated, however I would love to have confirmation that Dandelo is one of her offspring.

While in the book IT, while Pennywise obviously knows much about the macroverse and her relation to it and her form in the main world, but she just doesn’t seem to care much about it. She has her hunting grounds in Derry and is more or less content with the state of things until the Loser’s Club decide to fight back. Compare that to how she acts in her brief appearance in 11/22/63 where she almost uses her/Jakes knowledge of portals to different worlds as a honey trap to lure him in.

IT Crowd - Derry Girls would be even better.

I'm cautiously optimistic. The last King series' I remember coming out were Castle Rock and The Mist. I liked Castle Rock barely enough to finish the series, but I would not rewatch or recommend. The Mist was just bad, so unfaithful to King's novella that I'm hopeful it doesn't count as a King series.

It's my ringtone. Very chill

i love castlevania dude but it doesn’t come anywhere close to arcane imo

Its a good show but I stopped watching after I learned what happens behind the scenes

I really liked Skarsgard's take on Pennywise. Both him and Curry are iconic in their own ways.

The book has a ton of material that wasn’t covered in the movies. They only covered the Losers’ Club in the movies but the material we didn’t get goes into past disasters caused by Pennywise’s influence over the town.

No, Pennywise is small potatoes compared to the Crimson King. There is another being that Roland encounters during his travels that is much closer to Pennywise. But whereas Pennywise fed on fear the other (Dandelo) fed off of laughter.

While King does have a habit of having characters reappear in other stories, they stay more or less consistent in what they do. The Walking dude will tempt people, and travel and cause mischief, the Crimson King will try to destroy whatever he can, but Pennywise was just content to sit in Derry and feed. It doesn't fit the Crimson King's MO at all.

I mean yes it’s easier to adapt than some yes. It is designed in a way that lends itself to be adapted to TV but it’s still not easy either. You can’t do a direct translation or 80% of the show would be killing infected or hunters which isn’t necessarily great to watch for the whole show. And then the other major point is that, as I said, comparisons will be made throughout, so anything slightly different will be observed under a microscope.

I don’t know that Wall Street doesn’t believe in streaming anymore, per se. But I think everyone now realizes that the notion of unlimited growth in the sector is fiction and the streamers need to run their business in a way that makes them profitable without relying on attracting hordes of new subscribers.

But as a business model, Netflix brings in roughly $2.6 Billion per month. (Source: Netflix 10k report, Q4 2022). So they have a lot of money coming in every month. Wall Street can absolutely believe in a business that brings in $33.61 Billion per year.

It would have been a good ending story-wise but I would have been personally gutted as a fan lol

the streaming gold rush showed that none of them can beat netflix. in 3 years most of them will close up shop and go back to producing tv shows for netflix and making a few movies for theaters. i wont be surprised if disney shuts down disney+

Was it not green lit the last time it was announced as coming to HBO Max?

It is strongly implied that IT may be the Crimson King, or maybe the Crimson Queen, or related in some way to the Crimson King, or IT and the Crimson King both come from “the Prim,” the chaotic primordial soup of the universe.

I wouldn’t mind them relating the two, but If I recall correctly, not much that happens in Dark Tower takes place before the Loser Club reigns in Derry, but they can die whatever to tie them together, that’d be cool.

Wishing Jean Smart a speedy recovery. Her recent run has been inspired. Hacks is great.

They got...the mustard...out!!!!!!

But yeah, fun episode. Going Through the Motions sure hits harder as an adult. I must sing that to myself at least once every couple of weeks. Wish there was more love for the Xena musical episode that set off a bunch of these other musical episodes.

The music is great, I still sing songs from it, and my go to insult is his eyes are beady. But I think it is so long lasting and special because of how well it fit the show. It wasn’t about the music it was about the characters expressing themselves, so every song is more memorable and meaningful.

Third times the charm for her playing a Doctor. First Greys, then Heartbeat, now this, fingers crossed.

> Or revive that True Blood ?

They should reboot True Blood, but every time somebody says "Beel" or "SOOKie", they use soundbytes from the original. And just bring back Alexander Skarsgard with no comment whatsoever
