    I'd love to know who this asshat is. Clearly some pissed off loser who was banned or teased so he came back to annoy everyone.

    I'm a big fan of Rosenthal's sequel. It contrasts nicely with the original and serves as a respectable finale to the mayhem that Carpenter and Hill created (if only the series would have stopped here). The kills are quite cringe-worthy. The hospital settings proves effective. And the overall atmosphere is -- dare I say it -- more chilling than the original (thanks in part to a more menacing, mythical Myers).

    One of the newbs, I think it was BMovieJosh, mentioned that pt. 3 deviated from the normal Mike Myers story because John Carpenter wanted to do a series of films on which something terrible and freaky happened on halloween, a different thing each time. Ever since I read that a few weeks ago I've been kinda eager to go back and look at pt. 3 from a kind of objective standpoint, leaving the rest of the franchise out of the picture.

    And incidentally, Rob Zombie's remake was fantastic.

    Our immortality is found in the words and actions of our children.

    You see relatives at holidays, weddings, and funerals, but family is always with you.

    Do not steal, rape, or murder. Everything else is fair game.

    Facing failure is easier than running from regret.

    I think a lot of people already decided they hated Zombie's Halloween when they first walked in. But no matter what you think about it, when it comes time to list maybe the top five, or maybe even top three, mainstream horror movies of 2007, it'll be there.

    Really, Slime, what didn't you like about it?

    The Halloween movies that involve Curtis are the best IMO. This only includes the first 15 minutes of Resurrection of course. The rest of that movie was shit.

    The reason I don't like Rob Zombie's Halloween is that he spent too much time on the new backstory and thus you didn't give two shits about what happened to the characters at the end of the movie. I did, however, appreciate how much more violent he made Michael. To me that makes him scarier. It's an okay movie.

    That makes no sense - you're saying that because of the added backstory, it made the audience not care what happened to the characters at the end? It's because of the backstory that you're supposed to care what happens to Michael at the end, that's what the goal was, to give Michael Myers more depth as a character. You say that the viewer ends up not caring what happens to the characters at the end of the movie: do you mean that the audience doesn't give a shit when the characters die? Did the original Halloween have ANY more characterization of the three female leads than Rob Zombie's did? They were actually MORE ditsy in the original, probably evoking even less from the audience when they were killed.

    I WAS referring to the three girls and the original movie gave you more of them. It showed you them in a light to where you knew a bit more about them than the remake did and I personally did care what happened when I first saw them. Also, I think the remake made it clear that Michael's initial intention was not to harm Laurie where as in the original you were unsure what his motives were and that was scary.

    I loved the Jamie character she played and thought she did good in Zombie's version as well.

    I gotta agree with Tree on this one. I didn't have time to care about the 3 girls...they just sort of introduced them and it became ONLY Michael's film, when the audience should be identifying with the victims. It was just a bad choice on Zombie's part.

    had the movie been longer, I think Zombie would have gotten more fans of this movie because the three girls are respected characters and weren't portrayed the same way the were in the first one.

    No, some dumb fucks cant respect that they are two movies that have the same title but are different. If you want to enjoy a remake, think of it has a new movie. (Most remakes suck regardless though.) Dont get me wrong all my favorite movies Black Christmas, Hitcher, Texas Chainsaw Massacure had shitty remakes but Halloween is different. 78 Halloween is still my favorite but the remake was pretty damn good, its people need to stop comparing and focus on what the director and writers want you to focus on.

    Remake of The Hitcher Sucked, but I liked the remake of TCM a lot.

    With a remark like that you really show your relative lack of knowledge about what I am trying to say. I thought you would be one of the ones that would agree but what do I know.
