Halloween (October 19th, 2018)

[punisher1974]

Didn't Busta Rhymes kill her off in one of the sequels?

Yep the 8th one.

That's a lot of Jamie Lee hate. If it wasn't for her, (not her directly but you know what I mean) most of the genre wouldn't exist. She was the first heroine survivor. The OG directors (Craven, Hooper, Carpenter) brought forth the slasher genre.
She was HOT when young and still doesn't look bad. Yeah, she's older, but all of us are approaching that time in our lives, some of us are closer, and some already there.

Theres a lot of hate now because shes a joke now.
Shesdone nothing good for like 20 years,

In the slasher genre or just in genera horror? Because there were other 'final girls' before her I'm sure.

From what I understand, this is a continuation of the series, but ignoring that dreadful Halloween 8 with Busta Rhymes.
I've enjoyed every Halloween except for that one.

The original is classic of course. And the others are good popcorn, scary movie night.
I'm glad to hear they're doing another one.

Love Jamie, but I wouldn't even consider her a final girl. She fended off the shape sure, but in the first it was Loomis who got the final shot(s) at him off the balcony shooing him away until the sequel where again it was Loomis with the kill blow burning the shape up.

Just another damsel being saved by a man.

Yeah. There's also Lila from Psycho*. . .who is also saved by a man at the end



*who, ironically, was rescued by Sam Loomis

Hate? It's just ball busting for her **** yogurt commercials. She's an icon from Halloween, and some gentle ribbing doesn't change that.

I love Jamie Lee... but this is a joke.

Yeah, we all get to a certain age, doesn't mean we should be doing the same things we did as kids. At least I hope not.

If this franchise started with a masked killer chasing an old woman, there would be no franchise.

The joke is that every actor comes back to do again what they're famous for -- no matter how many times they say they won't. This is the latest example. 'Halloween' is a brand -- this is a cash-grab pure and simple.


I mean, come on, look at this picture...

People probably hoping they'll get the original "Goonies" back together for another mystery.

 

[Centurion]

What's the big deal...Harrison Ford has been doing old man coming back movies for decades.

 

[Khev]

I'd like to see a *good* Arnold King Conan movie and a *good* old man Keaton Batman movie (note I said "good") but can't think of any other franchises I'd want original actors to return to at this point.

Sooner or later, you'll get those. I'm quite certain.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

They've been teasing a King Conan movie for years

 

[jye4ever]

I'm ready for all the deaging that's coming our way lol

 

[Rambler]

ugh....don't know what to think of this. come on. Only silver lining i see is hopefully a decent 1/6 Shape figure with the 78 mask gets made.

 

[jye4ever]

Once this deaging and full cgi character stuff becomes the norm we will literally see every older movie retold and reimagined, as long as it can make money that is

I thought this was in the works .... pretty sure Brolan wanted it

Great point. The worst of all are those Star Wars movies. Those actors need to stop living in the past.

I'm hoping this movie kicks ass. There's a chance...
