Wait A SEC!!!!!!! I thought I had my gut buster of the day, but I gotta respond to this (and it's not even my fight, so to speak.....) Spiderman 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Shrek 3, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, The Bourne Ultimatum, Ocean's 13, Grindhouse, Meet the Robinsons, Hostel 2, Live Free or Die Hard, Transformers, Harry Potter 5, Rush Hour 3, The Invasion, The Simpsons.....It's gonna be really hard to convince me that ROB Zombie's Halloween (makes me wanna puke just writing it) is gonna be one of the bigger movies of the summer when compared to ANY of the movies on that list. ROB will not even touch a one of those movies in terms of box office, so I think we can effectively drop the whole "one of the bigger movies of the summer" rhetoric. ROB probably won't even touch 85% of those in terms of critical acceptance (remember critics LOVE Carpenter's masterpiece and are probably, not certainly, but probably gonna shred a half-assed "reimagining" by a part-time filmaker) So if it doesn't achieve the same financial accumen and it doesn't get the necessary critical praise that everyone seems so convinced ROB will return to the franchise, then what "success" has it achieved. There's a reason that companies release movies on August 31 and it's not to steal blockbuster thunder. BTW Jackie Earl Halie's comeback has been nothing short of miraculous, and if anyone had botherred to check he apparently was taking roles to eat.....
