They stated that in the second movie. The only exception was the one kid/guy who stayed. The others moved out, forgot the details but knew something bad had happened when they were kids.

I feel like the Losers realize that people are forgetting about all the missing kids too but I haven't seen the first film in a while

I'm a little spotty on the events of IT, having last read it in high school. Didn't the one former Loser commit suicide as an adult as soon as he heard Pennywise was back? I think there's something still buried in their pysche even as adults.

Yes, but it was actually 4D chess to get them to team up and defeat Pennywise.

The director/writer, Mike P. Nelson, was also stated to be both Republican and a Christian at some point according to some old Reddit post explaining how he was hated for being that in 2013. Clearly he developed some TDS or something if he decided to have the character kill them evil

If it makes you feel better the people that make the reviews on most of these websites do not sway popular opinion all the time.
Imdb is the reddit for movie reviews, any site that allows you to report reviews or has issues with ai, spamming or review bombing, shouldn't ever be trusted.
Here's an example for the show, featured reviews are only positive.
But if you sort by how many total votes a post has.

While there is debate on Die Hard being a Christmas movie, there is also this debate
The debate on whether John Carpenter's the Thing is a Christmas movie. If it is considered one, should that mean the Shining is a Christmas movie too?

I guess Gremlins is definitely one. What about Rosemary's Baby? It has a bigger Christmas scene than The Thing.

Gremlins I can get, it's a Christmas movie, it takes place around Christmas. The plot is about a Christmas gift gone wrong. The Thing? I don't see that as a Christmas movie, it's a cold feeling movie but not a Christmas movie. I'm getting tired of people taking what isn't a Christmas movie and try to make it a Christmas movie. The movie Gestapo aren't going to come to your house to make you watch it's a Wonderful Life, you can watch The thing any time you want, you don't need to say it's a Christmas movie because snow or whatever.

What about The Shining?

It's not a great video. It's an AI generated video. The voice is pretty good but there's a couple times that it pronounces things wrong, and all it has going for it is all the snow and McCready saying the winter had just started. The fact that the AI voice could not say McCready just threw me off the entire video.
But anyway if we're going by those loose definitions of what makes it a Christmas movie then towering inferno is also a Christmas movie

No. I will say this about The Shining. I've read the book and seen both movies. I think the book and the mini series are told from the alcoholics perspective. Kubrick's film is told from Danny's. At least that's the way I interpret it. That's why to me, Jack always seems off. He's still recovering form alcoholism, that's not easy to get over. Just the other day I found a short with Kubrick explaining the ending shot in the The Shining, and he says it shows that it's a never ending cycle. Maybe that's an interpretations of drug addiction, that it's never really gone. Maybe that's why King hates it.

The Thing is not a Christmas movie for one reason and one reason only: Antarctica's winter takes place from March to October. Whoever created that video didn't do basic research.

Neither of them are, they're just set in winter, but annoyingly enough, people who work in on demand tv and movie services, typically, without fail, put them on during Christmas time. Vaguely similar thing goes for all of the Die Hards, after the original and No. 2.

Die Hard takes place at a Christmas party, with McClane flying home to reconnect with his family (at Christmas) . It has Santa references, carols, egg nog, and Christmas lights are a plot point. It's a Christmas movie.
The Thing is just in the snow and has a small Christmas tree in the background of a scene. However it does embrace and extol the spirit of Christmas, so it's debatable.
Edit - this nigger phone just corrected carols to Carol's

I'm circling back to Welcome to Derry since I looked up the forms that were featured and some just come off as monsters seen in creepypastas. I guess this is what happens when you can't use IPs like in the novel.

What I remember from this show is an episode all about how cool and mysterious and magical and wise native americans are and how white men fucked everything up and built a town in evil territory because they're retarded and won't listen to the mystical injuns.
The episode was so dogshit I had to find out who wrote it. Some asian cunt from Rings of Power.

The "le spooky" Uncle Sam looks like something a boomer family member would post on Facebook. The rest look like shit.
