Bozo and Ronald McDonakd are still beloved though if you're under 30 you probably don't even know who Bozo is, though you likely know his parody Krusty.

I think Pennywise from the TV series was pretty heavily based on Bozo anyway, except for the red mouth paint. Bozo relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLXtHU_HGXs

feedmyleg posted:Clowns are essentially a non-thing in 2017. I'm sure they're still goofing around at the circus, but the circus is essentially a non-thing in 2017. Modern audiences are going to be creeped out by clowns, regardless of when the story is set. Yes, that's partially thanks to the original It book and miniseries, but probably moreso thanks to John Wayne Gacy and, well, how inherently weird and offputting the whole cartoonish 1900s hobo makeup and exaggerated slapstick act is. Like, what's a friendly-seeming clown even look like? Because I think if you showed a picture of one to anyone these days they'd still find it weird and creepy. Also don't forget last year where they kept having new stories about creepy clown sightings everywhere. I doubt Pennywise needs to look 'friendly' at first.

Does the adaption with Tim Curry have that bit in the book where the kids have a weird sex ritual in the sewer, or is that something it made the very good decision to leave out?

The part about the kid who locks live animals in a fridge in the forest is always the creepiest part I think of, mostly because of how the "grooming" is described where he feeds the dog for months or whatever to lure it in. It was the kid who is MISSING in that trailer, IIRC.

I haven't actually seen the tv series, but you're right, it was a really stupid question. Sorry for bringing it up. For a less stupid question: is the tv series a fairly standard horror for the time? Because it's obviously this 'cult classic' thing but like, the new adaption just looks like a regular jumpscare -heavy horror movie from anytime in the last decade, especially the shot at the end where Pennywise just jerkily walks towards the kid with a spooky face.

outlier posted:I'm not sure you can blame that at Portman and her films, any more than you than you can for any other actress. Casting is a weird, mercurial thing that seems to happen almost independently of performances and box office. c.v. Angelina Jolie who was an A grade star while arguably never having been in a single good film. Well, going down that rabbit-hole, actresses have a harder time getting good work at good pay than actors, for a variety of reasons that boil down to systemic sexism. Remember No Strings Attached? Ashton Kutcher? The guy who struggles to get movies into theaters and is a much stronger argument for "has never been in anything good ever?" He got more money than Natalie Portman for that. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jan/11/natalie-portman-ashton-kutcher-no-strings-attached-gender-pay-gap

On top of that Tim Curry's performance elevated the whole movie.

If that's the story I expect that Optimus Prime's illegitimate son will be the one to kill him the in the movie's final battle.

I never saw or read IT and of course kind of knew about Pennywise the clown in the sewer for some reason (alien? inter-dimensional being or something like that?) anyhoo that trailer is kind of terrifying.

Anthony Hopkins is also in this, and he has a robot butler who rips off the head of bigger Transformers and then takes over its body by transforming into a new head. Don't forget that the Transformers 5 footage they showed includes the appearance of Merlin.

Matthew Perry and Lisa Kudrow are apparently doing pretty good with their respective TV shows. I think Episodes is ending, though.
