You'd be wrong on that point.

In.

Put the lid down...

Yeah, me too. That was a pretty silly thing to say.

No one's saying it doesn't make sense, they're saying it's annoying.

Satan qualifies. I'm going to go much further into obscurity as we proceed, but I thought better of drafting Jeff the God of Biscuits.

Well I'm going to now...

Surely Rob Zombie's version was preferable to just getting another sequel. Carpenter himself told Zombie to "make it his own", which clearly he did. Our philosophies here are totally different Mike, as I say if you're going to remake something, you'd better change a lot of it, otherwise what's the point? Granted, that begs the response "don't do a remake" but they really don't bother me like they do some people. Particularly for horror movies. It's what the genre does. Just look at the remakes as a new kind of sequel, if it helps. Like, Rob Zombie "remade" Texas Chainsaw Massacre and called it House of 1000 Corpses. I happen to really like Rob Zombie as a filmmaker, but I know he's no auteur. I just like the way he handles the constant rehashing and such that horror and especially slashers do. (And yes, Devil's Rejects was his best effort).

Valid points, but I'd say that Rob Zombie and myself didn't miss the point so much as dismiss it. Once again, I do love the original Halloween, but even watching it for the first time, when I was probably about six or seven myself, it seemed weird to me. Sure, Michael is presented as a motiveless killing machine; that is, among other things, the function of Dr. Loomis in the story. It just always struck me that Loomis was wrong, and that just because we weren't informed of Michael's reasoning and motivation, doesn't mean he doesn't have them. It appeared to me that Zombie was aware of this too, as he makes a point in his film of Loomis presenting the "pure evil" theory (and even writing an exploitative paperback about it, as a real shitty doctor would likely do), and then showing him to be wrong. True enough, it's hard to separate the original Halloween by itself from the canon of the series, but even by itself, it was scary, but I never doubted his motivations. The sequels just gave me fairly poorly executed reasons for it. Zombie gave me better ones, and that, I suppose, is the basis for my preference of the remake: I've always been interested in the origins of dynamic and interesting characters (hell, my favorite character in Huckleberry Finn is Huck's father). I know not everyone agrees with what I enjoy, so that's likely a lot of what splits people over this. That said, I'm still more attached to Friday the 13th as a series than any individual Halloween.

That's just unpleasant.

I've known some Hot Topic employees (even briefly dated a girl who managed one) who were fine people, but of course this was away from work. They may well have turned into giant assholes the moment they clocked in.

Fuckin' you're not legitimate.

Wrong. That shit really happened. To me. It was a totally true to life depiction of an abusive upbringing melded with a fun slasher movie. The thing being overlooked is that six year olds don't murder their sisters for no reason. Implying that he did is just boring and lazy. Why he did that bothered me for years... probably a lot of why I prefer the remake.

Totally. I'd be into an individual musicians draft too, but it might be too close, I suppose.

When I said this, Twisted's post said "Church's", implying the quick service chicken restaurant. My response was clever. Thanks, asshole! Working at book stores especially, but to a lesser extent those other place, you get a natural sense of entitlement. The people who come in there are dumb as fuck (with the possible exception of the comic shops). But especially book stores.

Churches.

No, it's different than that. Those three gods (and calling the Christian god "God" is a misnomer) all have very distinct personalities. What those religions share, if anything, is Abraham. But once again, I don't care. They're not on my list.

Of course not.

I prefer we get creative with our answers like that, yes.
