I assume that clam shell reader was like an example of something futuristic because I tried to look it up and it doesn't actually seem to exist. Meanwhile, there's alot of other stuff that feels very 80s in it.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you and Julia enjoyed it. I loved it alot, it's probably going to be very high on my end of the year list.Antonio Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683849518766835378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395748504986705619.post-30123958458043517742015-04-22T10:44:04.555-04:002015-04-22T10:44:04.555-04:00Julia and I saw this film a couple days ago and th...Julia and I saw this film a couple days ago and thought it was pretty good. The tension and mood throughout is very well executed, the forms that the "It" takes are disturbing and unsettling (two aspects that come to mind are the tall man that comes from behind her friend in the house and the random off-kilter nature of the "It" partially exposing itself, whether it be one sock on or a singular exposed breast). <br /><br />Beyond that, the whole pool sequence at the end, while seemingly coming out of nowhere, is very entertaining and I loved that after "It" was shot, it seemed to become this hellish smoke (that I wish they hadn't just cut away from). <br /><br />Also, what the hell is that clam shell reader anyways?Dexteroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00209492147020176188noreply@blogger.com
