Not that I should have to justify myself to someone named after a washed up aor group of dinosaurs sadly clinging to life via the local white-trash airwaves masking as 'classic rock' but here goes anyway.....Original, unoriginal, phony, fake, nitpicky, bitchy, arrogant, what have you; My arguements are made to show that not everyone is willing to let a third rate uncredentialed hack have a free-ride of unabashed a$s-kissing and fealty from anyone desperate to be included in the latest celebrity fad. My arguements are unoriginal you say? Well, I can pretty much verify that my brain indeed works and can think for itself instead of blindly salivating over such divinely inspired, unoriginal dialogue as "mansonesque....." ROB has made it clear that this is his vision and if you don't like it go watch another movie. Fine.....but don't get snippy when those who question your ability or credibility wonder why characters, places, events, and story that are established as the pinnacle of the horror genre need to be "reimagined" or copied as a desperate last-ditch attempt to reinject life into a long-dead franchise. Let's be honest, Malek Akkad figures that this is make or break for the franchise and he's riding the back of the original to generate some much needed dollar signs. Judging by the infantile content of some of the members of this board he apparently has a bunch of Pavlovian rejects willing to support him in that matter, all the while riding the good name of Halloween into the sewer. Make no mistake about it, if this movie tanks, the franchise is finished. And whether you're named after a hopelessly washed up group of long dead dinosaur rockers or a thoroughly unfunny cartoon that lost it's social relevance about 8 years ago, my words ring true and the content of my arguements cannot be disqualified simply because you are desperate to be included in all things ROB.
