Fun fact about the theatre scene, it took practically forever to do, so Curry did things like sing-a-longs with kids and played games, it was the first scene they filmed so the kids didn't who he was and assumed the studio had hired a clown to entertain them.

If it were a better director who worked off of Tim's behavior it could have worked. He was manipulative and cruel; showing absolutely no trace of humanity in his actions they were prey to something enjoying the hunt. If they excised the bully, made it less of a crapsack world and didn't have any hints of the townspeople being aware of the creature, something that was allowed by the survivors forgetting about what they went through until the hunt began anew, then it would have been a lot more scary.

[@peterkrug2327]

I like to think this is how it actually worked behind the scenes, director Tommy Lee Wallace asking Tim Curry to tone it down and go for a more subtle, creepy performance, only for Curry to insist that, since he's a clown, he should ham it up to the extreme, and then proceeded to laugh like a maniac. And the show is all the more memorable for it.

On the DVD commentary track, the actors and actresses note that Tim Curry's characterization of Pennywise was so creepy and realistic that everyone avoided him during the filming. In the novel, Beverly makes love to all of "The Lucky Seven", but Tommy Lee Wallace omitted it from this mini-series because it was just something that didn't ring true to him. Jonathan Brandis and John Ritter both died in 2003. Brandis hanged himself, while Ritter suffered an unexpected, fatal aortic dissection. Richard Masur only appeared in three scenes. This mini-series came out in 1990, the same year that Bill Skarsgård was born. Skarsgård played Pennywise in It (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019). In the novel, the group is not referred to as "The Lucky Seven". They call themselves "The Losers' Club". John Ritter was a huge Stephen King fan. In the novel, Eddie Kaspbrak lives with his wife Myra, not his mother. The American rock band Pennywise took its name from the character. Harry Anderson (Richie Tozier) died on April 16, 2018, the same week Bill Hader entered talks to play Richie Tozier in It Chapter Two (2019). Tim Curry is not in the last fifteen minutes of this mini-series. All 7 actors portraying the adult versions of "The Losers' Club" have either been nominated for or won either an Emmy or a Golden Globe. Tom Rogan has a much bigger part in the novel. He chases Beverly to Derry where Pennywise tries to get him to kill "The Lucky Seven". He eventually dies from shock after seeing the Deadlights.

[@garrtoons4303]

ANOTHER cool fact: Brandon Crane, young Ben from the miniseries, made a cameo as the executive guy from It Chapter 2. Mostly used to fool us into thinking that's Ben.

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

In the Novel, Pennywise's other forms include Frankenstein's Monster from the 1931 Universal classic, Bruce from *"JAWS",* Gill-Man from *"Creature from The Black Lagoon",* flying leeches, a giant bird mix between a crow and Rodan, The Mummy from the 1932 Universal classic, a Paul Bunyan statue, piranhas, Count Dracula (who looks like Kurt Barlow from "Salem's Lot" but with Gillete razor blades for teeth), and The Crawling Eye from the 1958 film of the same name.

One of my favourites Cinema Snob movie reviews.

[@chasformer3091]

13:56 I've always want to see Tim Curry without the makeup on in that scene, but still has those teeth and contact lenses. I wonder how scary he will look?

[@megakinghydra2060]

What contact lenses? Tim curry can just do that with his teeth and eyes

[@NicholasAdeptus]

This is definitely one of your best reviews.

[@XardionZ]

A 43 minute Snob review? JFC, Brad, you're spoiling us.

[@carveraugustus3840]

So great. I could watch Brad and Doug review Stephen King films all day

[@carybeweary7209]

Tim Currys performance also influenced Matt Borne when he was the heel version of Doink the Clown.

[@FabledHeroes3351]

21:12 I was wondering when you’d Reference that 😂😂😂😂😂 (32:30 also that was perfect 🤣 )

[@nickdirienzo2849]

You're much better than the Nostalgia Critic. You are less annoying and more informative!

[@enlightenednormie242]

Agree 💯

[@octogonSmuggler]

I've always thought these movies were hilarious... The new one was funny as well.

[@murrfeeling]

To be fair... the Tim Curry IT was a TV miniseries. You can only get away with so much at 8PM on NBC.

[@mrfivegold]

I can’t wait to see how they interpret the bike scene in the new movie. To me that was the best scene in the second half, shows despite childhood trauma the good parts can heal what those traumas damage.

[@yogadan3924]

Dude I stumbled upon your channel. You’re funny AF. Smashed the sub button

[@johnnyd3158]

This was way better than the Nostalgia Critic’s review of the mini-series.

[@jacobschweitzer1068]

Agreed

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

And of course snob referenced it anyway

[@whiterabbit75]

Let's be fair. The Nostalgia Critic isn't as good as it used to be.

[@johnnyd3158]

whiterabbit75 I agree, but it was because of the Nostalgia Critic’s review that I even first learned about the IT mini-series since I never knew of it beforehand until I saw his review for the first time a few years ago. I like the Cinema Snob’s review better because he’s funnier than the Nostalgia Critic in my opinion. Especially in comparison to the Nostalgia Critic nowadays.

[@whiterabbit75]

@@johnnyd3158 It's because of NC that I was introduced to all the other content creators, and his earlier reviews were pretty funny (I still love the one he did with Linkara and Spoony), but he's just not that great anymore.

[@avicusdusang1477]

Buttercream Gang reference? 10/10.

[@thehat2243]

[@Speeddemon105]

Brad sums up every Tim Curry intro in a movie so freaking well when Pennnywise shows up to Georgie. Tim Curry: Introduces himself as his character in a movie. Audience: No you're not. You're Tim Curry and you're being weird again! XD

[@johnmcintyre4682]

I like the idea that Tim wasnt even in this film to begin with, he just showed up on set one day dressed like a clown and nobody had the balls to stop him.

[@jwnj9716]

I always enjoyed the miniseries, yeah its not scary but it has a charm to it. I'll admit that the second part is the weakest.

[@coffinfeeder7732]

It’s really the kids, Tim Curry’s more prominent role in the first half, and that 90s stink that sells it.

[@kevinjustason]

Brad do streets of fire (1984). Perfect for musical March (in September)

[@someothername7886]

Fun fact: The blonde child who gets killed in It went on to play characters in Final Destination 3 and Tucker & Dale Vs Evil! I found another favorite Snob episode :) Tim Curry will always be entertaining in It 👍🏻

[@liampatrick3110]

Holy shit!

[@someothername7886]

Yup, that’s Chelan Simmons! She played Ashley Freund in Final Destination 3 and Chloe in Tucker and Dale vs Evil. :)

[@KingMasadaX]

Very first horror movie i ever saw, when I was 6 years old, and been a Horror enthusiast ever since, I hardly watch anything else. Also Malcom McDowell as Pennywise is something I have to see, anybody who knows film sees Alex DeLarge or Caligula anytime Malcolms name is mentioned, he represents a style of film that can only be possible with a rated R, or NC-17, so he would be fn epic.

[@edwardzuniga7598]

I’m a simple man just trying to make my way in the universe...I see a Cinema Snob review, I upvote.

[@majdo007]

Killer Clowns from Outer Space, please.

[@johnjsal]

That was great. Please do more King miniseries! :)

[@BobbyxZx]

made me realize how much i miss john ritter. that guy was awesome

[@mastermarkus5307]

This is one of your best reviews. There were so many good jokes I can't even just point to one!

[@LigerFan]

Any McDowell will do? Andie MacDowell then!

[@Greendalewitch]

You know what would make this movie more interesting? A Nukie chased by Meatloaf trying to catch a Strokemon.

[@briankelly130]

And top it off with a big ol' tub of buttercream.

[@riakun]

Little girl at the beginning: *sings itsy bitsy spider* They should have also foreshadowed Georgie by having him or someone sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" as well.

[@darkman80723]

Your sarcastic jokes over Tommyknockers or The Stand would be wonderful.

[@carybeweary7209]

No one has really reviewed the stand on KZbin and I just watched it recently for the 1st time. Would love to see snob review it especially the weird ass ending where God blows a literally nuke to kill Randel.

[@murrfeeling]

Fuck, it. Jump right into The Langoliers TV miniseries with Bronson Pinchot and Dean Stockwell. If you're going to do Stephen King adaptations may as well start at the rock bottom.

[@josephwilles29]
