Want a balloon?

Det er ingen hemmelighet at dette er verdens mest amatør-aktig blogg. Merkelig nok bryr jeg meg ikke. Likevel syntes jeg det er merkelig om ukjente plutselig stumbles over my site og faktisk bruker den dyrebare tiden sin til å lese et par fullstendig uoriginale tanker. That been said skal jeg innrømme at jeg ikke vet hvorfor jeg skriver dette. Heldigvis (for deg) hadde jeg bestemt meg på forhånd å ikke slette noen tanker fra dette verdigfulle innlegget. Gled deg. Hoved pÅenget jeg ville snakke om idag står mellom Robin Williams, Nicholas Cage eller It. Needless to say the choice was easy.

All things named It skråstrek Itt. To fantastiske figurer titter frem bak alt rotet jeg har i hodet, når jeg tenker på dette "navnet". Den første er selvfølgelig Cousin Itt og den Tredje er filmen It fra 1990. The year of my birth, kanskje det står på et sånt året du ble født kort? La du merke til at hjernen min skrev tredje istedenfor andre? I didn't until it was tooooooo L to the 8. Oh B2TheW. Dersom du kjeder deg kommer ikke dette til å hjelpe på humøret. I'm sencing this is a two parter...
First off. Filmen It featuring the Pennywise the dancing clown. Tilfeldigvis er Pennywise tatt rett ut fra en Stephen King novelle, noe jeg ikke var klar over før fem sekunder siden. Thank god for Google, jeg har nemlig ikke sett begynnelsen. YET!

Pennywise er noe av det uhyggelige jeg har sett, spesielt når man var smart nok til å se filmen nede i kjelleren. I et tomt hus. I mørket. Kvelden etter the infamous dukke drømmen (om jeg gidder, lager jeg vel et innlegg om Mr. I can turn my head all the way around while holding a knife). Anyway, Tim Curry spiller Pennywise and it's worth mentioning that the actors later admitted that he's characterization of Pennywise was so creepy and realistic that everyone avoided him during the film. So maybe just maybe it's not that peculiar that I scream like a little girl, shaking with fear. Eventually choosing to sleep on the couch, while holding on to a pillow for dear life. I 2004 skrev Radio times magazine at ''It'' var det skumleste programmet noen gang vist på teve. It var opprinnelig en miniserie.

The film's about a group of kids who somehow manage to defeat a source for evil that killed several children in the small town, a force that manifested itself in the smouldering clown, Pennywise. (Tim Curry is frightful but I'd still take his hand in... death?)thirsty years... I mean thirty years later, the same murders begins, and the now grown up kids have to once again unite, in order to kill it... Or it will certainly kill them. I really love this flick, the ending is so sad though, with a dash of lame. It practically goes against every rule in the book.

Now, clowns are usually a little freaky, but in the hands Tim Curry they're downright terrifying. Curry is of course no stranger to frightening make-up (Legend), delivering just the right amount of malice as the personification of an evil force that preys on Derry, Maine, every 30 years. Of course Pennywise is not only scary but extremely cuddly I just want to give him one big hug and never let go.

Don't you just want to hold him?

When it comes to the "Loser club" my favorite characters are Eddie Kaspbrak played by Adam Faraizl as a kid, as an adult by Dennis Christopher. and twelve year old Richie Tozier played by Seth Green, as an adult by Harry Anderson. I wonder who I'll like best in the book. Richie with his jokes, and Eddie with his wavy hair, and sugarwater placeboes.

Eddie's the nervous momma's boy with the alergies. But as a part of The Losers Club he learns to grow outside those boundaries. Pennywise came to him in the school shower, which was already a big anxiety for him because of his mother. IT also appeared to the now grown Eddie as the old storekeeper who first told him he didn't need his asthma puffer.

Richie's the joker of the gang, and becomes a successful comedian when he leaves Derry. The movie "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" starring Michael Landon really scared Richie. So IT used that against him and appeared as the werewolf from the movie. And when he returned as an adult, Pennywise appeared in the library and got him in the face with a balloon full of blood. Catchy huh? But really the whole gang is cute, I adore them all.

Pennywise - Pennywise
Pennywise has had quite an impact on the world, indeed. In 1988 Jim Lindberg, Fletcher Dragge, Byron McMackin, and Jason Thirsk formed the American punk band Pennywise.

Okei, jeg har litt på agendaen her. Først. Jeg blir tullerusk i hjernen av å lese hvit skrift på svart bakgrunn. Mulig det er jeg som blingser litt siden klokken er tolv, men jeg må myse hver gang jeg skal lese innleggene dine, frøken.
Så, jeg ser du har hoppet på bølgen og blogget om en film? Stephen King? Aner jeg copycat? Neida. Jeg fikk ikke veldig lyst til å klemme fyren, nei, men jeg kan vel alltids gjøre et unntak for en så sjarmerende fyr med megahøy panne og sutreleppe. Finnes ikke noe mer charming. Jeg har hørt mye om filmen, men av en eller annen grunn så har jeg aldri følt noen lyst til å SE den, men heller til å lese boken.:D Men etter din varme omtale må jeg vel nesten se den da.
