Re: “Attack of the Killer Reboots!”
Well, at least it is nice when film critics reveal that they have no idea what they are talking about early enough that you can stop reading. Specifically, in the preview to IT, Mr. Riedel says "and I'm still waiting for a Stephen King adaptation to be good."
As a film critic, I would have thought that you have actually watched a large number of movies so you would know how wrong you are, or at least hope that you wouldn't make such a ridiculous comment if you hadn't watched many King adaptations. I could bring up a number of movies to prove the point, such as Misery, 1408, Stand By Me, The Dead Zone, or The Green Mile. But, really, how wrong you are is pretty easily summed up in three words:
The Shawshank Redemption.
