THat shyt is bizarre to me. Those Zombie films are borderline offensive in their awfulness especially the second one.

I understood why he'd want to add more beef to the backstory, I think that's a natural inclination for creatives and it gave him an easy way to be different...but adding a backstory and humanizing Michael Myers completely erases the symbolism of the character and removes the parts of the plot that make it REALLY scary as opposed to just another slasher flick. First one was meh but I could live with it, second one was a debacle!

Exactly!
The backstory we had was enough to show that Lil Mikey came from a pretty normal family and was just a psychopath even as a child.
We didn't need all the bullshyt with his mom being a white trash stripper, his step dad being a bum ass loser and his sister being a ho to try and explain Michael's reasons for being the way he is.

He was supposed to be the big bad of the movie, but they just kept showing us people worse than him

Going to get geeky but since it’s based on a book you really can’t “remake” in my eyes. Books are adapted all the time. And on the real id much rather see IT on the big screen than a made for tv adaptation on basic tv

Just a website homie

Birthmoviesdeath.com

Every now and then they give away copies of movies. All I did was send an email saying what my favorite child’s play was and I won lol. Simple
Tell me why I read this and was like "Marty had a kid? I didn't realize that?" :ohhh:

I'm glad the new Halloween is ignoring everything except for the first. That's how you do a sequel/reboot, rebuild off the one that got critical acclaim and go from there instead of remaking the same shyt. The Friday The 13th reboot needs to be a true sequel to the first movie instead of "reimagining".
