Wednesday, July 18, 2007

Today very cool character posters were posted from Dimension Films and Rob Zombie's upcoming remake of Halloween, which hits theaters August 31. Read on to check 'em out. After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, is mistakenly released from the mental institution (where he was committed as a 10 year old) and he immediately returns to Haddonfield, where he wants to find his baby sister, Laurie. Anyone who crosses his path is in mortal danger.

Words absolutely escape me. Myers meets Detroit Rock City meets Alex de Large. WWOOWW!!! This is our grand reimagining.....You've all been taken by this dog-and-pony show glossed over by a bunch of adolescent wannabe myspace 'hipsters,' and are 'living' the minimalist dream of mediocrity, ignorance and delusion.....

Key words...."retelling" and "reimagining" now please stfu until you've at least seen the ****ing thing....

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....The same tired retinue of ignorance, reinterpretation, and "let's let ROB do his thing" by the same infantile group of wannabe's clinging to all things ROB in an apparent sad effort to be noticed or curry favor by a half-wit, third tier "celebrity" who apparently thinks he's going to reinterpret and re-educate us about a timeless masterpiece that you obviously have no idea about.....Here's a novel idea: Why don't you get back to your homework and post only AFTER you've developed an ounce of educated sense. I mean is summer school REALLY that difficult or is that the sum total o your best efforts to debate.....

Wow! Did I forget something? I thought this was a movie? It's not a religious experience or life changing. People bitch about how Rob is going to ruin the original but if that were true! Wouldn't of been ruined by the sub-par sequels? Regardless if this remake, re imaging, re visioning is good or bad!It does not matter! The original will always be there. It will always be classic. If you think about it. At the time the original was made. Jamie Lee and many of the others who were in that movie were in fact unknowns! Wouldn't that make them 3rd tier at that time? Doesn't every actor have to start somewhere? Plus. I think people keep forgetting that this whole "remake" craze in not a new thing! It's all been done before and will continue until the end of time. How many Dracula's, Frankenstein's, Mummy's have been made? Were some of them bad? Of coarse they were! But not all of them sucked either. We live in a day in age where everything has been done already. There is nothing new under the sun. All we can hope for is that the people who do these remakes make a good movie. Even movies that are not remakes draw there influence from other movies. So in a sense those movies are re imaginings and remakes as well!

I have heard everyone's complaints and excitement about Zombie's version and while it might be good, it's still not the original. First, he changes the time frame of the movie. In the Zombie version, young Michael is wearing a KISS shirt, but he killed his older sister in the mid 60's & KISS didn't exist. So his version is more modern version. Either way, you are either going to like it or hate it, but give it a chance. I will stick with the original, but the new version will be my little secret vice...in the end, no more crappy sequels!

You make good points. However, the cast and crew of the original were in their trade as professionals engaged in a career. This 3rd tier celebrity is nothing more than a cheesed out emo/macab rocker who specializes in reinterpreting everyone else's original artistic vision into some "ooohhhh so dark and scary misogynistic teenage vision of nonconformity" when in fact if he had one iota of an original thought of his own the friggin earth might invert on its axis.....I mean let's face facts: This movie is a desperately sad last-ditch attempt by Malek Akkad et al. to reinject life into a long dead franchise by hiring a fourth rate hack, WHO ISN'T EVEN A FILMAKER BY TRADE, to rope in a bunch of adolescent saps to experience his latest social revenge fantasy played out using characters and story that are a timeless piece of American film. YES, I AM INDEED AWARE THAT THE ORIGINAL WILL ALWAYS IN FACT BE THERE FOR OUR ENJOYMENT. YOU GUYS CAN ALL STOP TRYING TO INFORM ME OF THIS. I HEARD YOUR ARGUEMENT THE FIRST 9756 TIMES YOU MADE IT. None of this changes the fact that everything we've seen thus far, everything that ROB himself has put forth represents an absolute disgrace and insult to a tentpole o te modern horror genre. I mean the guy's entire education in the film industry was to run coffee errands on PeeWee's Playhouse. If you think I'm making any of this up, all the info is readily and easily available to research. If you think I should shut up and let this f#cking wannabe fanboy slob desecrate a masterpiece with his stunted creative vision then you haven't been reading my entries closely enough.

C mon....you know u wanna see it a hundred times so you can contrast and compare and henpeck to the original,on and on and on....."Loomis only fired 5 shots....this sucks" kinda remarks....a fu#$ing kiss shirt....c mon now...

Ha ha ha, nice try.....If you think the damn Kiss shirt is the sum total of my hatred of this entire project then I suggest that you read some of my earlier (circa 4 months ago) verbal battles with Jonny and Daveberg. Analysis of the minutae you mention above would be a good thing. We'll never be able to get to that level of disection from any film written by Paul Reuben's personal gofer.....

I understand where you are coming from but does it really matter? And why should a person be defined by one trade? Many actors, directors, producers...etc got there start from being grips, prop boys, assistants...etc! So what if he worked on Pee Wee's Big Adventure! LOL! WOW! Does that mean he cannot venture out into other things? The bottom line is? What movie have you made that successful? What album have you made that went platinum? Don't answer because I already know...none! By the way your mother's pussy has a comb over! LOL! J/K!

The FREAK has chimed in... Now please, no mama talkin' now, that is just rude! I'm her to shine a ray of light and hope to everyone... NOT REALLY!! I will reiderate that I have mixed feelings about all this with an honest feeling toward the skeptical. I know a lot of people are drooling over this film for the mere fact that they are Zombie fans. Nothing wrong with that. We all have our personal reasons why we like or dislike this movie (that hasn't been released yet). That is cool, but the ZOMBIE fans should acknowledge that instead of ripping the folks that are concerned over this film. I would be willing to bet that a number of the Zombie-ites have no clue or no interest in the original Halloween or maybe the series for that matter. It's all about Rob. Nothing wrong with that, but aknowledge that. I like some of Rob's tunes, but movies?? There are a number of folks here that ARE true Halloween fans. With that, I mean the orgininal and maybe (just maybe a sequal or two). The true Halloween fans want something that has been lacking since the first movie and they don't think that Zombie has mojo to do it. Yada yada yada,right? Wrong! I've seen both Zombie's movies and I didn't like either one of them. Sorry to you who like them, but I thought they sucked! You could tell from the get-go there was not a lot of thought, effort, or even production value put behind them. I saw better stuff from some of the rejected contestants from the TV show "The Lot." I'm not calling John Carpenter a master, but he certainly lived up to that title when it came to Halloween. Just by comparing "Halloween" to "House of... Corpses" and "Rejects" is like comparing Earl Schibe to Rembrandt in that respect. Also, other points of interest: Zombie said he wasn't going to shoot multiple endings... he did. He also said he was going rely on suspense like the first movi.... ahem... Doesn't look like it when you can obviously see it is a splatterfest. Why didn't Zombie want to make a NEW movie to save the series? Why recreate the origninal? Was it because he couldn't envision a new storyline? Was it because it would be pretty easy to work with a proven story line, just filling in the gaps here and there? Honestly, I don't know. I guess a lot of filmakers have revisioned and remade lesser films, but how many classics have been remade or "revisioned"? Look it up... There has not been that many. Why? Because it doesn't work. Will it work this time? We'll see. Hell, I'm going. I may love it and I may hate it but I'm going in with an opened mind. Zombie's record is 0-2 as far as I'm concerned, but I'm going to be watching intently and will evaluate at that time.

By the way... This same passion about a film would not exist on a "Friday the 13th remake"... Why?... Duh!!!!

Lol...Even Nick Castle directed "Dennis the menace".....Give Rob zombie his chance....

After reading my long post, I guess I DID have too much to drink last night. WOW! Lot's of mistakes. Oh well, sorry. The point remains the same though.

I do get the feeling they couldnt have found anyone better to play Loomis though,he even has the trenchcoat...Must have that coat...we all can surely agree on that right?(unless some fool thinks the color is off or some sh*t) Ha!

Just came across a new interview with our little general check out: http://www.movieweb.com/news/91/21291.php No matter how much I can't stand this guy or the idea of remaking this movie, I gotta admit he's honest and straight in the interview.....

Malcom is a great actor. I understand he will be doing Loomis different, however, he should do him proud.
