Two important changes - Eddie's Career is wrong and incorrectly stated how Ben acquired yearbook page
edit | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
One - Please change "Eddie Kaspbrak is a risk assessor with an overbearing wife" to "Eddie Kaspbrak is a limousine driver with an overbearing wife." Eddit lied to everyone by saying he is a risk assessor, that's why everyone laughed. Also - in the book, Eddie owns the limo company, but I think stating he is a driver is fine because I can't remember the ownership specified.
Two - " Ben goes to the town's high school and finds his old yearbook page, which Beverly was the only person to sign. " is incorrect. Ben is shown in the beginning to have the yearbook page in his wallet. He also says later on that he has carried it in his wallet for 27 years. Therefore, he did not find the yearbook there, but you can state that he uses that page. 71.105.73.158 (talk) 18:26, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- One: Why should we assume movie-Eddie is lying?
- Two: Agree with this one.
- Three: About Maturin not being in the film, if there's a decent source that bothered to point it out, we could add that there was a turtle, I think in one of the school-scenes. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:36, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
- Four: The film's version of the Chud-ritual was borrowed from Friends s1e14. But it's ok if the article skips that detail. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:42, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Not done: The page's protection level has changed since this request was placed. You should now be able to edit the page yourself. If you still seem to be unable to, please reopen the request with further details. NiciVampireHeart 09:30, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- People keep trying to add character biographies from the novel, ie, Stanley's wife was a teacher, Beverly had a series of abusive boyfriends, Eddie is a limo driver, etc. If it's not stated in the movie, then it doesn't belong in the article. Bkatcher (talk) 16:26, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Theatrical poster
editIs the white poster with the Pennywise eyes not the official theatrical poster? I haven't seen the teaser poster currently in the infobox anywhere in theaters. Basil the Bat Lord (talk) 22:56, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Plot length
editI've trimmed the plot length again, getting it back down to 699 words. The suggested plot length (under most circumstances) is 400 - 700 words.
Most of what I did was removing information that does not affect the actual plot: the names of the couple attacked at the very beginning, calling the homophobic youths a "gang", the name of the old woman in Bev's old house, Bill called his bike "silver", the name of the Native tribe, that the implosion at the end destroys the otherwise unmentioned house, that certain discussions and regroupings are "at the library", etc. Yes, we need to know of the couple being attacked. Their names are trivial. Change them to Bob Snyder and Jose Goldberg and the story remains the same. Yes, we need to know about the psychotropic drug vision. That it happened at the library does not matter. King could have had it happen behind a gas station and the story would not be impacted. Trivial names and locations add length without adding meaning.
Phrases saying someone "attempted (something) unsuccessfully" are redundant. If Mary kills Jim, no one would say she "attempted" to kill him. People say "attempted" to mean it was unsuccessful.
What typically happens in situations like this happened very quickly yesterday: editors add details they remember and the plot length grows. This will likely happen here as well. We'll neet to repeatedly trim to keep it down.
I've added a note, asking that editors discuss additions first. Additions should be meaningful to the plot and offset by more trimming. Additions made without discussion or that do not meet those criteria might best be reverted to encourage the editor to bring it here for work toward those goals. Otherwise, we'll just end up with what we have now: my imperfect editing without reflecting other's concerns. - SummerPhDv2.0 14:13, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
