Bro got the code cracked, this video is long enough for dinner prep, eating dinner and the following bathroom journey. Truly the goat.

I fully support breakdowns as long as the movie. The fact that you take so much time to read and reference the source materiel when making these breakdowns is just amazing. These breakdowns are an absolute highlight

This film came out 27 years after the TV mini series. 27 years is the same time between the entities cycles in Derry.

Bill Skarsgard has very quickly become one of the absolute best character actors to do it, at a relatively young age. I can't wait to see what he does across his career.

I love the bit of foreshadowing when Officer Bowers says "Ain't nothing like a little fear to make a paper man crumble" while talking to Henry, but ultimately when Pennywise is defeated, trying to morph, and retreats into an early hibernation, his head begins to crumble

Missed opportunity to start the video by saying "we're breaking IT down" followed by a dance montage

11:27 Kind of like Heath Ledger messing with his latex and make up with his tongue when he was playing the Joker and they just kind of turned it into a little habit the character had... 🤔 I like it...

Him and Henry don’t exactly “help” eachother out. Patrick kind of just takes advantage of Henry and takes care of himself. While Henry stands there in shock. Which I think also shows how messed up Patrick is and will do whatever he wants because he is the only “real person”.

I love how in Welcome to Derry that Pennywise’s eyes are always glowing like the Deadlights.
