Hello Muddah,
Hello Fuddah,
I saw a movie
What the fuckah?
It (2017)
Seen September 7th
Back when the original miniseries aired, it seemed like there was no way that this specific book could be adapted better. We thought we had the perfect Pennywise, the perfect bunch of kids and the perfect way to tell the story… we were wrong, because they just made the perfect version.
