(I'm enjoying this discussion and wanted to clarify that I respect your opinion because I just accidentally wrote a long dissertation on Halloween) See, I'd argue that, just like Rob Zombie, you kinda missed the whole point of Halloween in that death can be unpredictable, unexplainable, and happen at any time, no matter how young the victim is. Giving Michael an agenda is what ruined him in the remake AND every sequel. That's my biggest issue with the movie. I was excited to see Zombie at the helm originally. But if you want to remake Halloween, you cannot put the stupid sister angle into it. I grew up in a post-Halloween world, but more importantly, the first five movies were canonized by the time I was discovering them. My point is, to my friends and I, Michael and Laurie were siblings and that was the driving force behind him; it was set in stone. Then, about two years ago, I broke out Halloween for the first time and watched it all alone (and I was high off my ass, too). It was an eye-opening experience. I was completely immersed in the movie to the point that I realized, to people watching it when it first came out*, the only reason Michael was after Laurie was because she had the misfortune of dropping off the key at his house (I'm guessing those people never went to check it out). Not only is that a pretty frightening concept, but it's the entire point of the movie. Even John Carpenter knows it was stupid in retrospect and, as alluded to earlier, it led to things like Michael tilting his head like a confused dog rather than the creepy way he does it in the original. The fact that there was a chance to retcon us back to Michael's original conception, a remorseless, faceless, living embodiment of the Grim Reaper and they didn't take it is what gets me down on it. That's why I like Friday the 13th so much. That's a fun slasher movie, not bogged down by family curses and that sort of ilk (I said, as I continued to never watch Jason Goes to Hell). I suppose that's why Halloween gets discussed even when you bring up FT13. *Fun Side Story: My mother saw the original when she was in high school at the local drive-in and was so scared that she didn't wash her face when she got home because she was too scared to close her eyes.

Nice postin', Venk.

I still think the scariest scene in any Friday movie is the shot from Part 2 where Survivor Girl is in Jason's shack, and you can see him barreling towards her through the open window for a good few seconds.

Ace the Matt-Hound, if you will:

I'm a girl. Type 889 for cyber.

I bet Kozlov would love to be double double champion

Do you know where or when he said this, Enigma? Not that I don't believe you, in fact, now that you mention it, it does sound like Shawn. This is just one of those things that's bothered me since I got the CD back in the day. Question: I've been watching a lot of early 90s Federation stuff lately due to 24/7 and noticed that whenever a heel (usually Jake Roberts) is doing something particularly rotten, the announcers wonder where Sgt. Slaughter is at. What was Sarge's role at this time? Some sort of peacekeeper?

reember when Vonny Mac hit the ladre ofa lgedrp? There, I just saved everyone three pages of passable humor.

Yeah it's like hes typing in a different language I think they revealed that shocking twist sometime around 'Mania

Fallon's gonna still be taking over Conan's current time slot, 2Gold.

The tag team debut of Kung Wang was pretty nifty and believe it or not Striker worked in a Jumping Bomb Angels reference towards them

They have a hostage, it's the ultimate splash

Striker does dead-on impressions of people like Steve Austin and The Undertaker, and Benoit took exception to it for some reason. Probably because he was losing his mind. That's all I know. EDIT-Combine my post with Spike's and you have an answer.

JBL needs to be jobbed out on Raw to "Oh My Haas!" immediately.

I read elsewhere that they had a choice between a miniature Batman or Joker mask, probably on the same scale as the V mask from their V for Vendetta DVD.

That's definitely not Idle Hands. The girl who is fondled in that movie (which we consider a new classic 'round my house) is in full Kiss makeup.

Right but Ill be leaving town before the end of the weekend. Maybe we can do Wii-ster Baskets in March.

I hate not to participate in this since I still have my Wii. This always seems like a fun idea, but I'll be at home for Christmas and won't be near my Wii, nor could I guarantee an Internet connection for it. Plus my struggling college student fund is always depleted at this time of the year. Sorry gang.

Upon a second listen, I think you're right.

Alright VKM, when can start expecting my royalty checks to arrive? Guess someone in the E actually reads these things, huh? You know, I think if you can prove they got the idea from this board you can sue for royalties, actually. I don't know the legalities of it, but I think I remember my friend telling me that bookers didn't read the Internet for ideas because they could get in trouble if they stole any. Don't mind me, just speculating randomly.

That explains King's line last night when Joey and Alicia came out. While she was dancing, he muttered something like "Joey can't dance...but he can box!"

I enjoy WWE so much more when they completely ignore the brand extension.

It was the 70s. Everyone was milking Suzanne Somers.

Aw. No DX Shopzone ad this week
