i won't be spending my hard-earned money on a movie that destroys the MM legacy

reply

Hollywood is all about destroying everything we love now.

reply

then i will gladly watch it burn

reply

how does it ruin it?

reply

are you cartooning?
in the trailer they massacre the entire MM mythology with the setup and dialogue!

reply

So 5,6, H20, Ressurection, and Rob Zombie didn't already do that?

They're trying something new with the story and characters. Who knows, maybe it will be the best since the original.

reply

I guarantee it will be the 2nd best just ahead of Halloween 2 and H20....I base this on my immense horror knowledge and expert trailer analysis.

reply

Lol. It won’t be as good as TBWP though.

reply

oh, the franchise has already put out multiple shitty movies that tried reconfiguring the MM mythos....
but let's do it again!

reply

Maybe they got it right this time. Stop being a pessimistic cunt.

reply

how could you even entertain that idea after watching that trailer?
a movie for morons and horror tourists

reply

Well it's not like Halloween is some pure untouched part of cinema...

It has already been remixed a million times. Even more than the Alien movies... More sequels than Transformers... More than half the Marvel movies count... More movies than fast and the furious... More movies than StarWars... More movies than the Mission Impossible series... More movies than the Scream series... Do you see how many Halloween movies there have been?

As with Alien, which is a genre classic, the original Halloween will always exist and have it's place in the genre, but there have been enough sequels that it is a bit precious to be worried about it being altered now... Save that for movies that have as yet been untouched, not one that is on it's 11th iteration or so...

Halloween has been this was for a long time... This IS what it is and what if has been for a long time... Something to watch while you snack and have a few laughs and scares with friends...

reply

you've accepted that the result will be crap,
defending the actions of DGG and DM,
i will not stand for it

reply

I'm not defending anything... I'm not your enemy, I'm indifferent to whether or not these 12th+ sequel movies get made or are any good. I've simply recognised the fact that Halloween has already been altered beyond recognition of the original movie...

I find it hard to get worked up about yet another movie in this series... As with the Alien series, after a lot of mediocre sequels, we got to see a decent movie 'Prometheus' and an average, but fun one, 'Covenant'... It was difficult to be precious about Alien by that stage as this was after a lot of silly movies like Aliens (turned the Alien into bugs vs. GI joe) and the various Alien vs predator movies, the Resurection comedic sequel, etc...

So, whether this Halloween movie is good or not, it doesn't really matter to me at this stage as the series has already distorted the original so much over the 10 movies or so...

I probably won't watch it either as I haven't seen half of this series. It's been stale for ages... Then again, I tend not to watch many series anyway...

reply

we are a different breed my friend,
i will still get excited or pissed off about an alien movie,
or a predator movie, or a lethal weapon TV series,
these franchises i hold too close to my heart,

and this creation "halloween" 2018 is stabbing me deeply

reply

Sorry to hear that...

What would you have liked to have seen instead?

reply

nothing, they should let the legacy rest

reply

IN THE ANUS.

Which is why I avoided Rob Zombie's Halloween II like the plague. The only reason I own that movie is because it's part of the box set.

I'm eagerly awaiting Halloween (2018) and so should you, or you're not a real fan.

reply

RZ's halloween 2 is the worst movie i have ever sat thru,
if you're eagerly awaiting this new H movie you must love american horror story, insidious, and other millennial crap they throw at easily-pleased fans these days
