    Funniest shit is that this is basically how IT was eventually defeated. By being ridiculed and laughed at. Well, that and a preteen orgy (“no, it was a train!”, yes I know).

      The orgy thing was less effective with my IT. Told us to get dressed and clean out our desks instead.

      That’s why he could only watch the disrespect: The very act robbed him of the power he weilded. In that moment, he was nothing more powerful than a human stuck in a sewer, watching a child literally shit on the thought of playing with him.

        Thank you for succinctly summing up why this scene was powerful and not just smut for the heck of it. A lot of people have issues with that scene but this is the exact reason it’s in there.

        Stephen King did a lot of cocaine and alcohol back in the day. Apparently he doesn’t remember writing portions of some books, and one entire book.

        But yeah, he wrote a scene that devolves into a preteen orgy, that helps defeat the giant spider with poor self esteem.

          Uhhh. Am I wrong? I thought they defeated the evil spider, got lost, preteen train, THEN they find the will to press on and get out?

            You know more than I do. I attempted to read the book at one point, but my sister stole it so I didn’t get that far, and wasn’t invested enough to track the book down as an adult, or watch either movie.
