I recently ordered the made-for-TV IT on DVD, first time I've watched it since its original airing. Much like the grown-up Loser Club who'd forgotten their childhood events in the story, so I forgot the various nuances and twists and subtleties of the narrative. It's neat when a tale can put you back in touch with your youth (I was 13 when I bought the hardcover).

I am so hyped for this movie....When the mini-series came on TV, I was about 7...and yes...I watched it! Well.....bits and pieces....after seeing Pennywise...I was done! But when I got older, I actually sat through the entire movie and while it was a tad cheesy......Tim Curry's performance was iconic.

I'm interested to see how this new spin on Penny wise holds up to Tim's version. I think the hardest thing about remaking a movie is trying to re-create a character that another actor has played to perfection.

I still like the mini-series, flaws and all. I still see those kids when I re-read the book.
