[Bill Skarsgård at Pennywise in the new remake of It]

Edited 2016-07-25 22:31 (UTC)

I get more excited for this movie with every passing day.

Well, the clown makeup reminds me of John Wayne Gacy and makes the actor look unrecognisable. Normally, he looks kind of sick and tired, like he should wear makeup to hide that. But the clown makeup is gross. Most Swedish people are kind of weird looking, though.

What's so weird about how Swedish people look?

So stoked for this. This was one of my favorite horror novels growing up.

Honest question: why are so many people afraid of clowns? Is it because of It?

yes.

I think it's the way the clown makeup hides the performer's face. There's a dichotomy between the grinning (or frowning) clown and the performer's actual expression that is unsettling for a lot of people.

At least that's my theory. I'm not afraid of clowns.

Here is an article on it. Though I think it can be summed up that the modern fear of clowns as murdering psychos stems from John Wayne Gacy. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-history-and-psychology-of-clowns-being-scary-20394516/

No, I'm not scared of them, but I don't like them. For me it's because they tended to make loud noises at at the circus when I was a kid, and are sort of unpredictable.

Nope, definitely not 'It'. For me it was the damn clown doll in Poltergeist.

I think it's older than that. I suspect many stages of toddler development have a moment where we become attuned to wrongness in faces, and some clowns are just wrong. On top of that, some of them have a bit of a pushy, "you're going to have fun now" thing about them.

I have a long-standing problem with Santas because my uncle did it one year and apparently I lost my shit over the fake beard.

NOPE.

NO. NO. NO.

GODDAMN IT WHY WOULD THEY REMAKE THIS MOVIE?!

I'm so excited for this movie!!!
and also same, weird lust terror for the clown man.

WOW! I didn't know this. And get in line, you must be dead if you don't want a piece of that clown's ass.

An now I want him as Frank N. Furter too. (Gimme the little finger...)

This was me with Heath Ledgers's Joker. Now I actually like scary clowns. Embrace your fears, OP.

He was smoking hot as Roman Godrey in Hemlock Grove so I'd be willing to watch this...

Are there legit, tangible reasons to be excited for this after Cary Fukunaga dropped out of directing? Can someone enlighten me? Is it demonstrably going to be an improvement on the previous adaptation?
