Re: [Texascavers] Caving in movie scenes
The Weazel seconds that opinion, "It" is a classic! I read incessantly, and though I rarely read horror novels I consider Stephen King to be our best contemporary novelist! Fans of the genre may also wish to watch "Killer Clowns from Outer Space", another classic!

[Texascavers] Caving in movie scenes
My daughter, Cavepearl, twisted my arm to take her to see the new Stephen King movie, "It - Chapter Two." [ Disclaimer:I despise horror stories in any format ] So after wasting $ 23 on movie tickets and $ 10 in gas, I was not a happy camper. The protagonist group of alleged misfits ( a.k.a. The Losers ) find a very odd wooden hatch that looked of ancient origin, maybe thousands of years old, and maybe built by a forgotten Indian tribe or aliens. This was not odd to them apparently, so they easily open the hatch and found a cave. No surprise to them that there was a cave, so they chose to descend in to it with just one crappy flashlight [ Sidenote: they had already used that flashlight for an hour to defeat a man-eating-crab the size of a pig. ] There was a caving scene after that similar to Longhorn Caverns. I think one character eventually had a headlamp. [ Sidenote: Had they not seen "The Goonies ?" ] This whole caving scene was so retarded, ludicrous, etc Spoiler Alert: This was essentially the same as sitting through a 2 hour episode of "Stranger Things " I hated the movie, and Cavepearl loved it. Generational gap is so odd. I am deeply saddened by the passing of rock legend, Eddie Money, but nobody I know, seems to care. ___ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers
