    This looks amazing, I can't believe it's real and not a spoof trailer. :D

    I've been waiting a long time for this movie. I think Tommy Wiseau tried to block this movies release, but it just cleared for release.

    I love the Room. I'll be seeing The Disaster Artist on premier night.

    It really does. I don't see a lot of horror movies because honestly most don't scare me, they're often cheap scares and a tired premise, but this looks genuinely good. Maybe it's scarier because it's kids too and not a bunch of dumb stereotypical teenagers, similar to Stranger Things. Whether the case, Pennywise continues to look creepy as hell in these trailers.

    There's always something unsettling about watching a horror story with children. I think it's the main reason why Sixth Sense worked so well. We were seeing all these dead people through the eyes of a child.

    ...just dropped by this thread and saw this. Interesting remake of the old flick that had the late John Ritter in it. Every time I see creepy clowns...I associate it with John Wayne Gacy.

    Just a matter of taste I guess. I'd say most of or at least half of the movies out right now are bad. But I saw War for the Planet of the Apes on Sunday and it was great. There's also Dunkirk, Annabelle: Creation, Detroit, Baby Driver, plus Logan Lucky coming out.

    Apes was the last good one I saw. Saw Dunkirk, Annabelle, Atomic Blonde and Dark Tower.

    I did not see the Dark Tower, it looks horrible to me. Didn't see Atomic Blonde either, but it looks ok. I would say Logan Lucky looks great to me, funny and awesome cast. But yes, overall I'd say it has been a really weak summer, June was horrible.

    Atomic Blonde was incredibly disappointing. Marketed like Jon Wick, but with Charlize Theron and while the action was solid there wasn't nearly enough of it.

    It looks like the movie blew all their cash on one really well put together action set piece, but the rest of the movie is just filler.

    Some good movies here and there, but overall, pretty bad the last 2 years.

    Television >> movie theaters.

    Never thought I'd say that, but television has been amazing for over a decade now.

    There's also a lot of great movies that don't make it to a ton of theaters or to theaters at all. Whether they're on Netflix or smaller, independent films straight to VOD. But yes, in general I enjoy tv shows over most movies these days. Like I'd rather watch the 12 Monkey's tv show with hours and hours to flesh out the time travel plot, than the movie that has 2 hours or so to do so.

    I would watch this on the big screen. We need reinforcements.
