No offense, but while Tim Curry was pretty good as Pennywise...

...Bill Skarsgard was the EMBODIMENT of Pennywise.

I can never go back to seeing the original It... it looks bad in comparison.

I think the opening scene posted above from the original is much better than the newer version, the newer one is a bit shitty. There's also that 30 years of technology aspect of it between the movies too. 12 million USD budget vs $40 million which is like 2x the amount with inflation taken into consideration too. I admit the older version feels dated but has some real memorable scenes and scarier ones too.

For me, Stephen Curry didn't really take the sadistic nature of Pennywise to the extreme, Bill did.

I'll give him credit - he put 'stupid' on the thumbnail and it was indeed stupid. He lived up to expectations...

Well, that's just darling.  My interpretation is a bit different, but yours is family friendly!

But it could be a pun:  finger-ring, fingering.

And "fingering" refers to keyboard instruments, with special reference to the size of Bach's family, and nothing else.

Bach did practice fingering with his cousin, he knew good fingering with the organ that's for sure.

That is correct.  The organs of Bach's day may have lacked in size, but the deft touch required to secure satisfying results from the empty, tightly packed caverns of the churches was in possession of very few.

When played correctly, dense liquid streamed from the audience. 

Tears of joy, naturally.

A child can begin with Debussy and end an old man chasing Debussy's chaste, but fluid music.

OK.

But I'm really trying to get into Debussy, so I don't have a lot of extra energy.  Chasing Debussy takes some effort.

That's okay - modern medicine has progressed rather well in the last few decades. I'm sure they can get your '1 point stick' back to a regular 8 - 10 points in no time.

I'm calling it eight. 

To keep this thread informative, when shooting dice, throwing eight the hard way is called "lady's best friend," similar to how eleven is called "yo 'leven" and so forth.

That's very handy if I ever accidentally fall into a time machine and land back in the 1950's.

Right, sure.  Nobody shoots dice anymore. 

And I suppose you've never hopped a freight train and secured your bindle while steering clear of the Pinkerton detectives.

I shoot dice all the time, and this is not the 1950s, nor am I even fifty years old.  Hell, some young kid in his twenties at work was running his mouth off about shooting craps at an Indian casino.

It's a brave new world, son.  Embrace it!  Go ahead and get some!  Don't be shy!
