(Spoiler alert: The following contains very mild spoilers about “It,” which you should go see, because it’s great.)
One of my favorite things about “It,” the new Stephen King adaptation that comes out today, is how much it reminds me of being 14 in 1989.
The setting of the story has been shifted from the 1950s to the late 1980s, which might make some people unhappy — if they grew up in the 1950s. But for me, and I’m sure many other people who were kids in the late ’80s, the new “It” beautifully reanimates one of the strangest, scariest times of our lives.
