Because the mini series was so brilliant?

Where have you been? It was announced months ago. Maybe you could wait until the movie comes out before you judge Bill's performance in it. Just a suggestion.

Be proud of Swedish Pennywise. As long as he's more like Pennywise from the book, he should do fine.

Funny detail: in the book, Mrs Kersh tells Bev she's Pennywise's daughter and she immigrated from Sweden at age 20. So according to It Pennywise might actually be Swedish. Wonder if that detail helped them choose Skarsgård? Probably not.

Okay, this is the funniest thing I've read all day.
