I've owned it for 25 years, & have 3 different versions of it. It seems we have a simple difference of opinion as far as the pacing of the film goes. I still love the movie. To the people saying she was "kinda" hot or "never" hot you guys would have been falling at her feet back when she was in her 20s. She was one of the most beautiful women in the world back then. If the shoe was on the other foot she'd be all over it. She consistently makes it obvious that she simply hates men. I don't think so. She was the teen sex symbol of her generation, nothing more nothing less. I'm not hating on her at all by saying that, I was a big fan of Scream & Jawbreaker as a young teen, & she was my first crush. She was really good in Scream but that was when she was still young & applying herself. After she got with Marilyn Mason she just had the 'starf*** her way to the top mentality, started doing drugs all the time & stopped applying herself. Her acting in Charmed is terrible & soulless. I'm sure the sexual assault took a toll on her mental state as well & was probably the source for most of the drug use. She was a good actress when she wanted to be, but she didn't apply herself much at all after Scream. I believe its been stated by either Craven or Williamson that the purpose of the attack was to just to toy with & scare her. I didn't see it in theaters & I'm glad of that. I grew up with the uncut VHS. This is definitely the best version of Robin Hood. As well as my favorite Disney Animated film. This is the Gold Standard as far as I'm concerned. Also I don't hate Prince of Thieves. I rewatched this movie for the first time in about 20 years, & honestly I feel like the pacing is terrible & everything happens to fast in it as well. I have never read the book. Pretty much as soon as the tour starts the fences go out & everything goes to shit. There is no build up to it, & it irritated the crap out of me. This movie isn't the greatest, but yes the original Halloween is overrated. I have always thought that Scream should have been a stand alone film. The worst part of it is the fact that this 5'2 girl kills Dewey. That's really how Dewey, the backbone of the franchise is going to go out!? Don't get me wrong I knew that Dewey was going to die in this, we all did, but Stu should have been the one to do it. Not some 5'2 goth girl. Yes I'm sure. The point of the scene is to build tension. Something that the overrated original Halloween is not only praised for, but considered the "greatest slasher of all time" for. But herr derr "Scream ruined horror because the 90's & blah blah". Good points bud. Meta is meta. No they didn't. They entered through the door that Stu retrieves Sidney's Dad from. The door to the garage in the real house is in the laundry room. Yeah its gonna be a shit show. The four year time gap is even more stupid when you factor in the Extended Cut's ending. I don't hate Halloween Kills, & 2018 is great, but man they really dropped the ball with this reboot. Yeah 3, 5, and 8 are the best to watch when you just want to sit back and be entertained. Okay buddy. The videos in which I linked explain in detail the points that I tried to make about the clues as to who is behind the mask in each scene, which is what you are asking. You seem hellbent on saying that I don't know what I'm talking about so if you & I want to get on the same page perhaps watching the videos would be a good idea. If not perhaps we should end the discussion? Dude, watch the videos I provided as well as the DVD Directors commentary lol. Indeed.
