Hyper Fangirl: Hello! Usually, when someone walks in front of a red curtain, it's to tell you that you're about to see something scary. And indeed, by Internet standards, you will be seeing something scary tonight: opinions. [Audience gasping] Audience Member: Oh my God! Hyper Fangirl: I know, I know. Sometimes, opinions can be scary, especially when they're not your own. But, remember when Nostalgia Critic reviewed It for the first time and everyone got really angry, and now, everyone wants him to do a Stephen King review once a year? So, being the Internet, we can all be adults here and just agree that there's better things to argue about. [Audience booing] My fiance said that this would happen, so he wrote me a little backup speech. [Audience continues booing] ANY OF YOU CRYBABY SISSPANTS GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT, YOU CAN TAKE IT UP WITH ME! HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG! [Audience screaming] HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG! [Audience continues screaming] There, that's better. Enjoy the review, have a good time. And remember, if anyone feels triggered, you can say hello to MY TRIGGER, BEYOTCH! [All screaming] ???: So I hear your cinematic version is breaking all sorts of box office records. Y'know, when mine was on TV, the ratings were through the roof. ???: Ratings? What are those? ???: They were how you measured success before Netflix arrived. ???: Sounds stupid. ???: It kinda was. They told us nobody watched Family Guy, but the fans brought it back so that years later, nobody would watch Family Guy. ???: Well, what we measure now is box office. It's only a matter of time before people say I'm the definitive It. Tim Curry: WA-HA! I started haunting children's nightmares first! Bill Skarsgård: First is worst, as any YouTube commenter would tell ya! Curry: They're already looking back and remembering how awesome I was! I'm tellin' ya, bucko! I almost got It! Skarsgård: No! Time will pass and they'll all remember me! I almost got It! Maurice Moss: I feel like I really shouldn't be here. You see, where I come from, it's pronounced "I.T. Crowd" as opposed to "IT Crowd". Curry: Oh, shut up, Moss, and tell us which It is better! Moss: A-- Skarsgård: Yeah, c'mon! I'm scarier! Moss: You see-- Curry: But I'm funnier! Skarsgård: We're not supposed to be funny! Curry: WE'RE FRIGGIN' CLOWNS! Moss: This is going worse than my American pilot. (whistle) ???: Hello, boys. Pour me a cupcake vodka martini, deal me in. Curry: No. Skarsgård: We are so not doing that. Curry: No. Critic: Oh, c'mon, what's the big deal? Skarsgård: You always ruin It for people! Curry: Yeah, kids used to be afraid of me, but now they just come up to me and go "WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA!" Critic: Oh, c'mon, I like some things in It. The kids were good, you were good. Curry: And? Critic: I dunno, I blacked out due to the Stephen King Drinking Game™. Skarsgård: Oh my God, that game comes with a surgeon general's warning, doesn't it?! Curry: Yeah, y'see, this is what he does! He ruins scary things by pointing out their flaws! Like asking why my head turning into a dog was supposed to be scary! Critic: Well, why was it supposed to be scary?! Did the Pound Puppies take over development?! Skarsgård: Forget it! You're not gonna ruin our fun! Critic: Okay, look. Both of you are trying to figure out who's the definitive version. Doesn't it make sense to have ME hear both sides to figure out which one is better? Have me be the one to determine who almost got It? Curry: Not really, no. Skarsgård: Awful idea. Critic: Well, screw you, I'm not talking about The Dark Tower movie. Curry: That's fair. Skarsgård: Y'know what?! Go ahead! Everybody in the world loves my movie! The President of Critics said, "If Jesus was a movie, this would be that movie!" The United Nations of Film Critics said, "Just stop making movies altogether! Nothing will ever top It!" And the Holy Church of Heavenly Criticism said, "Take me now, death. I do not fear you. Because I have seen It and I know nothing in life will ever be better!" "Going overboard", you may say. "Riding the hype train", perhaps. I say no. I challenge you... nay, WELCOME you to find one single solitary thing wrong with my version of It. Critic: Okay, this is the cinematic version of It. Skarsgård: Was kinda hoping you'd be intimidated by that. Critic: I wasn't. Skarsgård: Aw. As the credits roll, we see a little boy named Georgie and his stuttering brother named Bill. Bill: (H-Hey, Georgie.) Okay, for the sake of dialogue, we'll switch him out. Georgie: New White Bill, do you think that the S.S. Georgie is ready to sail? New White Bill: Sh-Sh-She sure is. Georgie: She? Bill: Y-You always call a ship a sh-sh-she. Georgie: Even if it's called the S.S. Georgie? Bill: You wanna get to the real problems of this film or not? Georgie: Yeah, no, okay. He's excited to test out his paper boat in the rain, but not before he gets what he needs in the creepy basement. Georgie: Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're not gonna kill me off before the credits end, and also, everybody knows that drain sewer scene, so I'm just gonna assume that those are lightbulbs. Mr. Lightbulb: Well, ya don't hafta be so mean about it! Georgie loses his boat in the drain though, coming across the infamous clown, Pennywise. Pennywise: Hiya, Georgie! Georgie: NOPE. Pennywise: Hey, wait! Where ya goin'?! Skarsgård: Hey, wait! Where's he goin'?! Critic: No kid would be drawn to someone that scary-looking! Skarsgård: Yeah, but...they were drawn to him and he's not even scary! Curry: Exactly, you dumbass. Critic: One of the reasons Pennywise creeped people out so much is he was a legitimately good clown. He was goofy and funny so he could lure kids into his evil traps. This guy couldn't lure awkward fan art to Tumblr! Skarsgård: Hey, I was legitimately creepy! I feed off people's fears! Curry: But you don't feed off their dumb!
Something has to draw them in! Skarsgård: You want drawing in?! How about THIS?! (noises and laughter) Georgie: I...gotta go... Curry: Oh yeah, that worked great. Skarsgård: Y'know, we should've just jumped to eating him. Curry: True. Critic: Mourning the loss of his brother, Bill, over time, acquires a group of foul-mouthed friends known as the Token Troop-- I mean, Losers Club-- I mean... ...let's say Token Club. It uses a lot of the traditional "kid group" tropes, but to be fair, it was one of the originators of it,
so it's given a little leeway, like when Token Girl Bev seems to get along with the Token Fat Kid Ben. Token Girl, Beverly: So you're the new kid on the block.
What are you listening to? New Kids on the Block. ...really? Token Fat Kid, Ben: Yeah, really? Critic: Okay, it's like the only 80s they cram down your throat. Bev: But it's dumb. Ben: REALLY dumb. Critic: Okay, do you want that or do you want to do
what EVERY movie about the 80s does now and have you wear this?! Ben: Okay.
Bev: We'll take the lame joke. Critic: Good. Now get back to your romantic kinda-maybe-sorta-relationship. Bev: I guess I'll be...somewhat attracted to you later? Ben: Kinda. Bev: Maybe. Ben: Sorta. Critic: Oddly enough, the other characters are introduced early on through Pennywise scares, which is strange as we're supposed to be afraid for them even though we don't know them very well yet, like Stanley, the Jewish Trope. Jewish Trope, Stanley: Huh, I wonder why a Jewish temple would have a creepy, abstract painting of a woman. I wonder if it was modeled after that woman over there. (scream) Hmmm, I guess I'll tell no one about this. Critic: Yeah, I have no jokes for that moment, that was a legitimately scary scene. Which is a shame, because some scares are ruined by the film's inability to go all the way with its ideas. For example, a Germaphobe Trope named Eddie is looking for his medication. A creepy-looking hand grabs it and holds it up to him. Now this is a brilliant setup,
framing the hand in the foreground, keeping the creepy person's identity blurred,
building up how scary he's gonna look. This is MASTERFUL. But then, when it's revealed what he looks like... Chester A. Bum: Oooooooo, I have a cold! Oooooooo! Critic: That payoff isn't scary enough, it's just a really sick-looking guy! He's supposed to be a leper, but c'mon,
you could've gone more creepy than this. To a germaphobe, I guess that's scary, but to us, it's not that bad. Scares can be lessened in other ways too. The Black Kid Trope, named Mike, is quickly shown the
grisly remains of a building that burned down. [Intense, scary music starts] [Car honks] Now this WOULD be incredibly disturbing if the music just shut the hell up. Most of the soundtrack is hugely over-the-top. When it's supposed to be pleasant, it crams whimsy into you like Tinker Bell being shoved up your ass. (you guys are nice oh so wonderful childhood is great there's nothing wrong with it yay) And when it's supposed to be scary, it works in the softer moments, but there aren't that many softer moments. Instead, it turns what should be goosebumps creeping up your spine into jumpscares being bashed into your skull! Look, a scary soundtrack, like any soundtrack, is essential, but when it's used too much, it can become like a laugh track, where it's forcing down your throat what should be coming to you naturally. Let's try this scene again except take the music down a lot and focus more on the eerie silence and a few well-chosen sound effects. [Subtle, scary music starts] [Heavy door creaks open] [Ghostly exhale] [Car honks] Didn't that seem creepier? Wasn't even the car driving by more jarring? Now, don't get me wrong, some scares work brilliantly like the burned, headless ghost - his reveal and the way he moves is chillingly unnerving. But I'll admit it gets a little silly when you have to show it's still Pennywise. Skarsgård: Wait a minute, what do you mean, "silly"?!
There's nothing silly about me! I'm the most frightening thing in cinema! Critic: You wanna tell him or should I? Curry: I think we should both tell him. Skarsgård: What? Tell me what? Critic & Curry: YOU'RE A CLOWN!! Critic: No matter what you do, you're gonna be a little silly! Curry: Just embrace it, you oddball of denial! Skarsgård: That not true! Remember when I scared Bland Leader Trope-- I mean, Billy, by scaring him with his dead brother? Pennywise: Hahahaha! Look, I'm Jeff Dunham if he was ever funny! Hahahaha! Skarsgård: Now, c'mon, that's scary, isn't it?! Critic: Yeah, but...it's still a little funny too. Skarsgård: I'm not supposed to be funny!! I get really scary when I run up to him like this! Critic: What is that? Skarsgård: It's my thing...my creepy way of running. Curry: You look and sound like a possessed Olaf from Frozen. Skarsgård: Go back to haunting Ferngully, this is scary! Critic: Oh my God, is there any way we can play the Benny Hill music over that? Curry: Oh my God, totally do that! Skarsgård: This is scary! [Benny Hill theme starts] (laughter) Curry: Oh, that's...that's- that's gold. Skarsgård: This was never funny until I met you! Critic: This one kid in the film, I swear, is in his own separate movie, and that's Richie. I love this kid, mostly because he's like the dorky version of Ash. Think about it! He has all the one-liners! Richie: They say Derry is a town of beaver traps and it still is! Am I right, boys?! Critic: Except when he doesn't. Richie: Something something something your mom! Am I right, boys?! Critic: He's super cowardly! Richie: I-I-I-I don't wanna go in there...! Critic: Except when he's not! Richie: You see this? This is my BATSTICK!! Critic: He's somehow the geekiest AND coolest kid in the entire movie, the consistent inconsistency! But other inconsistencies are more distracting than fun. Like the adults not noticing the blood that the kid sees
is more unsettling in this one. Adult: You do something with your hair? Hm, I'm gonna do some creepy shit over here. Critic: But then the kids are cleaning the blood rocking out to an 80s song. The...upbeat blood-cleaning scene?? Why don't you just throw a whisk in there like a chick flick while you're at it? Curry: WA-HA! See?! You have no idea what you're doing! Now, OUR version on the other hand, WE made balloons scary! Critic: No, you didn't.
Curry: Little bit? Critic: No "little bit".
Curry: Teeny-tiny? Critic: Stop now.
Curry: Yeah, okay. Critic: The new movie, however, kinda did. Curry: WHAT?! Critic: For one, all the balloons are red, helping them stand out more and serving as an eerie visual. Dollars to doughnuts for a long time, when someone just sees a single red balloon, they're gonna think of It. Second, they're used to reveal something.
There's always something creeping behind it. The balloon itself is NOT scary, but rather a build-up to the ACTUAL scare we're about to get. Thus, when we see it, we do start to get frightened. I'll even say the bullies are a lot better! Yeah, the ultimate generic Stephen King trope is actually done fairly well here, particularly with the main bully, Henry, who's not only given a backstory that's very quick to grasp, but they also make it clear that his type of bullying is more psychotic than most other bullying. It isn't just run-of-the-mill, they acknowledge it's pretty messed up. Henry: I've been waiting outside the library for you, Ben. Ben: You waited for hours and knew I'd come this direction?! Henry: How dare you point out my cinematic flaws. Just for that... Ben: Oh my God, why do you hang out with this guy? Side Bully 1: Honestly, we're hiding behind you. Side Bully 2: Yeah, we're afraid he's gonna cut us. [Stabbing and slicing]
Ben: Ow! OW! Side Bully 1: Hey, it's working! But Ben escapes and comes across the Loser Gang who attends to his wounds. Eddie: Question. Why didn't we take him to a hospital? Skarsgård: Oh, me! Well, it's because the adults in the area don't care about the kids! Critic: Okay, I know that because I read the book, but aside from a couple in a car driving by, it's not made very clear. Curry: Yeah, and even then, people are still alive. They must have a somewhat functional medical facility! Skarsgård: No time for that! Billy sees Bev walking for the first time in slow-mo! [Enchanting, romantic theme starts] Critic: Wait, didn't he just see her a moment ago in the drugstore? Skarsgård: ...but not in slow-mo. Critic: But isn't that USUALLY reserved for the first time you see someone? Like the first time you see her, things slow down? Why do it the following moment? Is it..."love at second sight"...? Skarsgård: What? You don't know. Curry: ...you're right, we don't! Skarsgård: Well, if you don't know, I'm not gonna tell you! Critic: ...who just won that? Critic: So Ben invites the Losers Club over as a means to say thanks for saving him. Ben: Yeah, I study disappearances and histories of towns that I just moved to. Eddie: Wow, your incredibly distinct quirk is very convenient for us... Critic: Eh, I guess I'll give the movie this; instead of the Fat Kid Trope being obsessed with Ben: (Food!) Critic: In this, he's obsessed with Ben: (Town!) Critic: It's a little forced, but not as forced as this. Bev: Oh my God, you still like New Kids on the Block?? Ben: Yes, as I clearly established earlier. Bev: Wow, that is still SO 80s! Richie: Hey, does anyone notice this incredibly obvious picture of a clown with our city's founders? Eddie: I mean, we have to pause the movie to focus on that poster! Ben: While playing a song too. Richie: I mean, it's right here for everyone to see, I just thought someone would notice it. Eddie: Yeah, this film's mostly timeless, but sometimes we gotta kick you in the balls with 80s! Ben: Yeah, what'd we get, only five close-ups of the poster? Richie: And we only got two of the creepy clown here. Like, someone else notice it. Someone else NOTICE it. Ben: Did I mention Batman and Lethal Weapon are playing at the theater? Bev: Wow, the 80s are so cool! Let's never reference them again. Richie: Clown. Eddie: SHUT UP, RICHIE! Richie: ...clown... Critic: The tone gets even weirder when Mike appears back in the movie. Yeah, he kinda disappeared for a long time, didn't he? Side Bully 1: This feels self-defeating. Eddie: There's only one thing we can do for this serious scene of us fighting our fears... Bill: Silly music and s-s-slow-mo! [Heavy metal starts] Side Bully 2: Yyyyoooouuuuu bbbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii--
[Thwack!] Critic: Wwweeeiiiirrrdddd ddiiiirrreeeeecccttttiiinnnnggggg......???? Bev: Remember when this was a serious and important scene? Richie: Yeah, now it's silly and goofy!! [Thwack!] See?! That didn't even hurt! I'm like a cartoon now!! [Heavy metal continues] Critic: So they save Mike and decide to allow him to be in the Losers Club. Bev: Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full transmediums, the Loch Ness Monster, and the theory of Atlantis? Mike: As long as I'm not marginalized like that Jewish kid, I'll believe anything you say. Bev: What Jewish kid? Stanley: Shalom! Bill: O-Oh, yeah, Stanley. Stanley: You guys forgot I was even a character, didn't you?! (various forms of "No", "Not at all", and "Kinda sorta") Stanley: It's okay, it's okay... There are so many characters in this movie anyway, somebody was bound to get less screen time. Heck, I'm not even here half the time, I'm a cardboard cutout. Ben: Huh, I did not know that. Eddie: So whaddya say, Mike? You wanna join our club? Mike: You got it! Where do you want me? Richie: In the back with the Jewish kid. Mike: Oh. Critic: The film does get genuinely fun again and not forced fun like: Side Bully 2: Yyyyoooouuuuu bbbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiii-- Critic: ...whatever that was. After a scene where Pennywise comes to life on their slide projector, the kids enter a haunted house that, honestly, is kind of like a neighborhood Halloween haunted house, and I mean that in the best way. It has rooms with creepy toys, cobwebs, doors that lead to over-the-top scares. It's goofy, gory fun. Skarsgård: STOP SAYING THAT!! Critic: Saying what? Skarsgård: Things like "goofy, gory fun"! Does this sound like a voice that'd be interested in "goofy, gory fun"?! I am super scary and super serious in this gritty re-imagining of It! I contort my body and turn into all sorts of sharp things! Critic: Oh, you mean with your crappy digital effects? Moss: Oh, that's just typical of you critics, isn't it? Curry: I totally forgot he was still there. Critic: Yeah, weren't you just an opening punchline? Moss: I know how this works. When you point out bad digital effects, that means you hate ALL digital effects! Critic: That's not what I said at all, bu-- Moss: I get it. You hate Pixar, you despise Jurassic Park, you want to see Officer Hopps die! Critic: Okay, look, digital effects are wonderful and have come a long way, especially in horror films. CGI can make a ghostly image seem there and NOT there at the same time. It's one of the few examples where the uncanny valley actually HELPS an effect. And half the time, it's great in this film. The creepy painting coming to life, the headless boy;
a good half of the digital effects are very effective! Moss: Great! That means you love all CGI! I'm glad we cleared this up. Critic: No, here's the thing; like any effects, there's good and bad ones, and when you use then so often in your movie, the bad ones are gonna be easier to spot! The fear of Pennywise isn't that he's a ghost you can see through, he's supposed to look like he's really there, and if your digital effects don't have time to really make it look like his hand is turning into a werewolf or he's transforming into a monster, because you have to use that time on other digital effects, the fear is massively diluted. Moss: Nope! It was all amazing and you hate everything digital! Like that blurry run effect. How did you do that? Skarsgård: Oh, of course! Moss: You're just filming your face really close to the phone. Skarsgård: It costs CGI artists thousands to recreate this! Moss: Are we still playing? Critic: The kids fight back Pennywise, showing they can defeat him, so of course let's have THIS be the moment where they split up and go their separate ways. Bill: S-So long, everyone. It's time we split up and go our separate ways. Critic: [Heavy sarcasm] Oh, yeah, you really got me there, movie. I'm SO sure they're never gonna meet up again. Bill: No no! I-I-I-It's really sad! Critic: Oh, yeah, what a shame you'll never get back together. Bev: Wait, why ARE we leaving? We've got him on the run, we should finish him off! Analyst Two: Nope, nope! This is the part where you PUSS. OUT. Curry: But that cliche is in everything. I know, I was in those cliches when they became popular! Analyst One: Nononononononononononononononono, no no, nono! We're not going to fix old cliches. Instead, we're going to put a whole bunch of other ones in! Bev: Like what? Analyst Two: Well, the damsel-in-distress for one. Analyst One: Followed up by true love's kiss breaking the spell! Bev: Seriously?! Analyst One: Well, the chart says-- Huh. Well, wanna go to a chart bar, maybe talk some math? Analyst Two: Let's consult the chart.
Analyst One: Yes. Critic: So the Loser Gang reunite to save Beverly. Eddie: She's down there. Bill: Wait, w-w-what's that on your arm? Eddie: It's a cast. Ben: You went to a hospital?!
Richie: I thought I knew you! ???: You're all gonna be going to the hospital soon. Bill: Quick! M-M-M-Mike!! Eddie: Damn it, Mike! We kind of need you to kind of justify your kind of arc! Mike: Oh. Okay. [Screams while falling] Mike: Yay, I guess I had a reason for being here! Stanley: Wonderful! Now I can tell you all about my incredibly interesting backstory! Eddie: Uh...we're actually- we're kinda past the two-hour mark... Ben: We can probably get you a bonus feature on the Blu-ray. Stanley: Fair enough! Richie: Really...a hospital? I bet the nurses were hot though! (snap)
Eddie: (scream) I thought it was a placebo! Critic: Meanwhile, Beverly wakes up in the sewers where-- Oh, Christ. [Synth music starts] Skarsgård: Oh, now what?! Curry: You sure you're not supposed to be at all funny? Skarsgård: What? It's a scary dance of evil! It's poopy trousers time! Critic: Yeah, especially when you play this over it. [German Dance from South Park] (laughter) Skarsgård: H-Hey, stop that! Stop that! (laughter) Skarsgård: Oh, c'mon, people just stopped playing Gangnam Style over that! Oh, yeah?! Well, here's something in MY version of the movie that YOUR version never had: people actually FLOATING! Critic: Oh my God, really? Skarsgård: Uh-YUH! Critic: Yeah, that's a really good point! For all the times you always said "they float, they always float" we never do see anybody float in your version! Curry: WA-HA! WA-HA! Critic: That's not gonna work.
Curry: Yes, it is. WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! Critic: But okay, yeah, it is! Skarsgård: HEY! Critic: I'm sorry, he's a good clown! They rescue Beverly, but she's in a hypnotized daze. So, like mentioned before, Ben uses "true love's kiss" to free her. [Enchanting, romantic music starts] (Jason: Y'know what, I'm married. I love my wife.) (Jason: Doink!) (Aiyanna: Haha! That still counts!) [Explosion] Pennywise: You won't get away that easily! Critic: So Pennywise tries to transform into all their fears. [Kids roar] Tommy Wiseau: o hai kids hahahaha [Blows landing] Tommy Wiseau: your just chickens cheeeep cheepcheepcheepcheep cheep cheeeeeeeeeep Critic: The kids confront their terrors and beat Pennywise, resulting in them agreeing to come back if he ever returns. Bill: Well, I guess we did it.
Bev: We sure did. Bev: Whoa, I'm sorry, what are you doing?? Bill: K-K-K-Kissing you. Bev: Oh, um...I think I have a better relationship with Ben. I mean, he saved me, he writes me poetry. Also, I JUST did a kissing scene with him. Ben: Yeah! Hands off my maybe lady. Bill: I-I don't follow this, it's the last scene of the movie Are we really gonna end on a half-assed relationship? Bev: Well... let's see what the book says. Ben: That's a great idea! It's sure to show who Beverly should end up with. [Horror sting]
Ben: Oh! Wow, oh. Bev: Oh, yea-- no, I'm not doing that. Bill: S-Super uncomfortable... Bev: Ummm...how about we, um, eeggh, blow kisses...? [Nervous chuckle] Skarsgård: And that is the greatest thing we ever made as humans. Cinematically flawless, hauntingly haunting, the most amazing horror film ever made good super yes...good. Curry: Don't think you're overhyping it just a teeny bit? Skarsgård: Nope, it's perfect. And anyone who thinks different hates movies! Critic: Well-- Skarsgård: Yes, movie hater? Critic: It's hard to say this is a "flawless" horror film, but, at the same time, it's hard to say it's bad, too. There's a lot of scares, fun ideas, decent enough characters, and, in many respects, it is better than the original. On the whole, I do recommend it as a scary flick. Skarsgård: Hahahaha, take that, Ronald Horror Picture Show! Critic: BUT there is one thing the original has that the new one doesn't. Skarsgård: What's that? Curry: Personality. Critic: The original was silly and awkward, but it kind of relished it. From the awkward effects, to the hokey acting, to the odd writing, and, of course, Tim Curry giving a million percent. It's not scary, but it's an over-the-top, campy TV movie. This is trying to be an 80s film, a timeless film, have subtle scares, over-the-top scares, adult humor, cartoony humor; tonally and stylistically, it's just all over the place. I admire it for trying so much, but they don't always fit together, which helps create less of an identity. So, even though the cinematic version is better, I'll strangely enough probably remember the original more. So yes, It is good enough. I just don't think it's the game-changer everybody builds it up to be. Curry: But wait, you never answered the question! Which of us is the definitive It? Skarsgård: Yeah, scary or funny? Which is It? Critic: Well, I'm probably not the best one to answer that, but I do know who is. [Mask rips] (gasp) (gasp) Moss: Gasp! The Joker: You should be BOTH! Do you know how many incarnations of the Joker there's been? Tons! And do you know what the best ones have in common? Skarsgård: They're not Jared Leto? Joker: Yes. And they were both scary AND funny! Don't choose one, be both! As the world's most famous killer clown would tell you, it's best to go out on a scream AND a laugh! Curry: Hey, wasn't I originally up for your role? Joker: Whoop, gotta go. [Glass breaks]
[Joker screams and laughs] Moss: Were you really up for his role? Curry: Yes, and I almost got it. Skarsgård: You know, tonally, this review is very confused. Curry: Well, that's your movie in a nutshell. Skarsgård: Good point. All: WA-HA! WA-HA! WA-HA! ???: What are you seeing? ???: It. ???: What's it? ???: That's the name of the movie. ???: What is? ???: It! ???: What's it? ???: It is It! ???: And what is that? ???: It! ???: So it is that? ???: And that is it. ???: And what is that? ???: It! ???: So it is it? ???: Isn't it? ???: Well, how should I know?! ???: Because if it wasn't It, it couldn't be anything else now, could it? ???: That's it?! ???: Precisely. ???: And are you seeing it with them? ???: No, Them is another movie altogether. ???: What are you, some sort of clown? ???: No, It's the clown. ???: What is?! ???: IT, damn it! ???: Okay, let's start over. Here's the thing; ???: Let's not bring John Carpenter into this. ???: I don't believe it. ???: Well, that's your problem right there. You can't see It if you don't believe it. ???: It's driving me crazy!! ???: Well, that's what It does! ???: It drives people crazy? ???: NOW you get it! ???: You no-good, shady, son-of-a- ???: What is it? ???: Grrrrr, that's what I wanna know!! ???: Good night, folks!

I laughed when " make me a meme " song came on
