Today's list is for spidey_88, who wanted to see
Pennywise the Dancing Clown mentioned in a list.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of Tim Curry. I don't shun him,
and I can't say that he's ever ruined an otherwise enjoyable movie for
me, but he'd rarely be my first choice for any role. I wonder, though,
if I might enjoy his work more on stage. The flamboyant overacting I
often see in his screen work might be better suited for the stage.
Besides, they don't give out Tony Award nominations to just anyone, and
he has three (one for Best Actor in a Play for Amadeus, and
two for Best Actor in a Musical for My Favorite Year and
Monty Python's Spamalot!) to his credit.
As for the role which inspired this list, I've never seen it. I have,
however, seen Barbie in The Nutcracker. I can't imagine
It was any scarier.
