Gee, now the fans of the franchise are "mot%erf$ckers." Thanks ROB, we weren't aware that without YOUR specific, divine intervention, we wouldn't be getting another movie. Thanks for clarifying that for us. So.....the franchise is long dead and YOU'RE te one to do it, and anyone who questions what we've seen is a mot$erf%cker. If this interview doesn't speak volumes as to what a pretentious, uneducated prick this guy is then nothing will. Let's all give a collective bow of acquiescence and fealty to ROB for his generosity in rescuing Michael Myers. Oh please master, tell me more.........Prick!!!

On a lighter note, B-D, I know you have a thing for Elizabeth Bathory. Go check out movieweb, they put up an interview with William Hurt about the countess project....

My bad.....it's just a repeat of the MTV clip that you've already listed in your news column. Damn blindlinks

here we are again with you sauron, bashing rob, and the remake of halloween because of rob. your like a bad case of crabs that doesnt stop itching and wont go away. sauron, please do something else with your life besides being miserable and bashing people who are much better than you.

Amen Rob!!! That’s the one thing I always found funny too, the fans will be like “I can’t believe he’s remaking this movie, he’s destroying the franchise!” And my response was like, “OK motherfuckers, what franchise? There’s no other movies coming! This is the only way you’re going to SEE Michael Myers!”

really i cant understand why your just suck a dick about everything rob does. i think that you took the "motherfuckers" thing bad because it was addressed to people like you. none of the other scripts were good, rob had a fresh idea that they liked.. so hard to deal with? get it through your thick head.

Guys I was the one who did the interview, Rob didn't say Motherfuckers as an insult, he was almost laughing as he said it. You know, like if your friend trips and you call him a dumbass, that type of thing. Just wanted to clarify.

Jesus. Will the bickering never end? The film has been made. Nothing anyone can do or say that will change it now, whether you're a supporter or a hater, that's just the way the knife falls I'm afraid. Plus the fact I'm far too lazy to add anything credible to either side of the coin right now...

Hmmm....I still believe even if this guy hadnt snatched the chance to direct this,some other f**ker wouldve done it sooner or later...the lame sequels wouldve kept coming,but he's not re-inventing the wheel just b/c he's ROB FU**ING ZOMBIE, he just got the frontline before any other person did....anyone disagree?(stupid question)

I find myself sometimes scratching my head at why fans (Myself included) Don't hate on John Carpenter for 'turning his back' on the Halloween series. He upped and left after the second film and we were treated to nothing but second rate sequels and poor storylines (IMO, only h4 & H20 were credible) Personally I'd rather spend my time spitting fire at the brains behind the whole Thorn storyline, i mean c'mon, talk about ruin the continuity and completely shatter all the Michael was made to be. In my eyes, i don't think Zombie can do any worse than h5, that for me, was the lowest Ebb in the Halloween franchise, i even preferred Resurrection over the steaming pile of monkey spunk that is H5.

JGRAYLAND; thats what i was trying to explain, but sauron is a dirtbag who is always blowing crap out of proportion and bitch at everything rob zombie.

I think everyone in their right minds are approaching this remake with caution - Halloween is such a cherished piece of cinematic history, held close to the hearts of the millions of fans across the globe, announcing they were going to remake this classic was always going to send shockwaves through the Myers loving community. Will it match up to the original? Will the story be the same? Blah blah. Question is, would people be ripping this movie to shreds if a grade A director were attached? What if it was a James Cameron or Ridley Scott? A Tarentino (SP?) Would people still be oozing out the hate by the bucket load? Would the other directors have gone a different route and made it their own as much as Zombie has? From what I've seen, Zombie has kept quite a bit of the original stuff in his adaption which I'm happy about, but i can't really make assumptions that the whole movie will contain more nods and winks to the original than what the trailer gave us. so again, it's fence riding time. Though, i will say this, for all the haters and nay sayers - you could have had Paul Anderson directing this, then you really would have watched Halloween fall into the tenth level of cinematic hell.........

I didn't watch his interview thing but I read your comments and I've seen things with him before. He just seems rude to anyone who is in objection to this. FYI I hate Rob Zombie and he never should of done a remake. I saw a new trailer for it today god Scout Taylor Compton and Malcolm Mcdowell NEED acting coaches and Rob should learn to direct and write.

Yeah...Carpenter did his thing and moved on,he's stated before how he disliked "Halloween 2" b/c if you think about it,at the end of "Halloween",its over and done with,how you cant really ever destroy true evil...its what i didnt see that scared thi p** out of me but its all balls out,in your face-you'll see it all,with the remake it seems....

I'm always in amazement at how people criticize the acting of movie stars after watching trailers with no more than about 2 sentences spoken in it, little bit judgmental isn't it? Can't be much worse than hearing Lynda from the original Halloween say 'Totally' over and over again, now that, is poor acting.

Wow...hating on Malcom Mcdowell now? it may not be some Oscar performance,but nobody else could portray Doc Loomis better i think,not as good as the ol'droogy himself...so pop a mydol and get over it(Like whatsernutts moon-unit-zappa-zombie is top notch acting)

Atleast she said totally with some attitude. Unlike Scout Taylor Compton "Is That The Boogeyman" sounded like some 5 year old baby. God Jamie Lee Curtis must be pissed off that some nickelodeon star got her role.

Also how Malcom Mcdowell says "Michael Stop" it sounds like he just had a stroke and can't yell properly.

GoliathSlasher actually if you took the time to read my comment it was in agreement with rob.And it isn't people like me because I was in full favor of rob directing in the first place.You should read comments before you to respond to each one.

Wow. It's hard to look at Sauron's comments sometimes. This is my second post, but I've kept up with all the happenings here for the most part. Personally, whoever Sauron is, I think he does have a pretty good level of intelligence, just by his vocabulary, and I give him credit for that. The problem I have is this ( And I'm not a Zombie ass kisser as so often being referred here ), Obviously some people are extremely angry about any kind of remake of HALLOWEEN, but my God, it seems so childish to go on and on about how terrible a person Mr. Zombie is. I find it so ridiculous that some people take every possible opportunity to twist and contort anything that comes out of his mouth. I've kept up also on the MySpace site ( cause I'm a fan of HALLOWEEN plain and simple ), and I do recall once where Mr. Zombie put up a blog, and basically said....."Here you go fuckers". Now, for anyone to actually believe he seriously hates every fan and meant that as a true insult, might consider speaking to a trained professional on their mental state. It's quite sad really, how some think they can direct better, live life better, and just plain do everything involved in this movie better. That is insane. I've continually watched these comments, and like clockwork, the same "negative" people show up like magic. That's an obvious indication of motive. Let's just thrash something because "I REFUSE to have an open mind, it will never matter what happens with this film.....even if it's a success, cause I hate the idea". It's too bad really....that mentality is one of the biggest reasons the world is the way it is sometimes.

Makes me smile, people are picking up on the smallest of things to use as excuses to vent their frustrations. I mean, what's the deal, did everyone REALLY want a Halloween 9? Another bunch of hapless teens caught up with yet another dead beat rapper trying to act tough and ghetto slap Myers? Puuuulease. No-one should be surprised Halloween was remade, they're doing it with just about everything these days, a little bit of un-originality (Is that even a word, heh) never hurt anyone!

Whatever happens,it all makes sure Mr Carpenter lights his smokes with hundred dollar bills...If I were him,I'd beat up ppl like Zombie just for the hell of it and wipe my ass with a copy of "Halloween 5" sorry...i'm a bit negative today i guess

I've been a fan of all the original Halloweens anyone who really knows of them can see what a dissapoitnment this movie really is. Rob Zombie and his trashy vision can never equal up to a cult classic. I would be embarrassed to even be seen walking into the movie theater to see this movie.

Each to their own dude. Each to their own. At the end of the day, most people here, including the haters will go and see Zombies Remake out of sheer curiosity, i mean, how can people consider H3 a part of the Halloween franchise but yet boycott the remake? Myers wasn't even connected to the third movie at least we've got him here, albeit a larger, grumpier version....

Kaystar - no-one has even said that Zombie wants to 'Equal' the original. We've already got that movie, Zombies version is something different, a more twisted, modernized version. We don't need a carbon copy of our beloved classic.

Although I do not agree with sauronthepowerful. I think he should keep doing what he is doing. He has the right to say what he wants to say. Even though he is bashing the movie? He is also creating a debate. By debating the word spreads and more and more people will talk about it. The more people talk? The more people will go see it. I rather have a bunch of people negative and positive. Then just positive because most of the people bashing this movie, will in fact go see it because they want to be able to come back the very next day and debate even more! So keep it going. I see someone left a comment on RZ Halloween MySpace about sauronthepowerful. So that's great. Maybe it will turn more people onto BD.

I'm on the fence about alot of things,try to have an open mind,but i still keep that eye on stuff ya know,the original is holy ground that myself (and a million others) grew up on,i'm looking forward to this remake,but i dont want RZ just sh***ing all over it all.....

I try to find the divide. Try to look at the remake as completely different entity than the original, as comparing the two is just futile and a waste of time, they're meant to be two different outlooks on a similar event in time.

Good call dave...I wonder who that dumbass guy is who says "Imma cut that mask off yo face"? from the looks of it,thats about all he says...Ha!

Tymishu......is that a japenese name? Anyway, you make alot of sense. The old "controversy sells" saying will hold true for this movie, I just wish some people would relax on the whole "This is sacred ground Zombie's walking on", I mean, I love the original, it's by far my favorite movie, and I consider myself a major fan ( Yes, thats right, as big a fan as the rest of you.......hard to believe isn't it.......LOL ), but seriously, this is a movie! Your lives will go on no matter what happens, won't they? Some of you take this way too seriously, it's fantastic to be a fan, but keep things in perspective.

The guy who mentions cutting Michaels mask off is 'big Joe Grizzly' Myers kills him and steals his famous coveralls from him.

I see...wonder if this is still at smiths grove,or after he escapes and our man mike is needing a lift to haddonfield......

Big Joe Grizzly is Ken Foree from Dawn of The Dead '78

He was in the remake too...

Once again, WOW!!! The movie is 22 days off and things are getting heated. Hello DAVEBERG and PISSING LASERS. I can agree with alot of your points. SAURON. Your clearly an intelligent guy, but by reading the RZ interview, where did you get that he was really serious about calling fans "MF's ? He obviously was using the term to be humorous. I also didn't read that he was being insulting or standoff-ish, thinking if you don't like his way, then Fu*k Off. I'm not getting that point, I really don't. If you just HATE the guy, then fine, but sometimes it seems your trying to create your own fabricated idea of what you think he is. Anyways, no disrespect, I do enjoy your rants and I bet deep down, you would be a fun person to have a beer with and talk about horror movies. Now KAYSTAR, saying Malcolm McDowell needs acting lessons is, shall we say, REALLY ignorant. Are you not aware of his credentials and the pictures he has made, oh and by the way, nominated for an Oscar ????? Do your homework, don't base it off a 1 minute TV spot.

Right on...thats the 1st time i've heard of anyone not liking Mr McDowell for the part of Doc Loomis,its a cool role and i think it suits him well...lets not forget it took Mr Pleasance maybe 5 days on set to nail it in the original and look how awesome that s**t turned out

cpanthers i wasnt directing that comment at you... if you read before your comment i was still talking about sauron, im sorry that you missunderstood, i was typing another post and i left my computer, by the time i got back you posted before i did, sorry if you thought those nastyu comments were directed at you. and as for you TYMISHU78 just stop talking now.. everyone is entitled to their own opinion but sauron takes it too far and does it on every halloween forum. so think about how long this has been going on before you decide to comment on the matter. but i do agree with you that when the positive rewiews do come in it will kick those who were bashing the film right in the balls

It looks like(judging from the trailers)that we'll get to see more one on one between Dr Loomis & Myers while he's in the nuthouse right?...."I spent 10 years trying to reach him,and then another 5 trying to keep him locked up"....that'll be interesting to explore and see the hows and whys....

GoliathSlasher, well you just made a fool of yourself. Just because I comment on something everyday. Doesn't mean I am not aware on how much someone has posted. You need to stop letting that guy bother you period. He baits you in and you fall for it everytime and anyone else that can't stand him for that matter. If he says something and someone responds to it....what does that do? It gives him opportunity to respond. Plus you're going to see this movie regardless of what he says right? Then what's the point of arguing with the guy? Then you go after someone else for essentially doing the same thing that you do, which is post a comment and you do the same thing Sauron does??? Which is attack someone else for commenting??? Doesn't make sense if you ask me and so fucking what if he say bad shit everyday, on every forum, topic, or page about this movie. It's his opinion and he is entitled to it! Just as you are entitled to yours. You like it...he hates it! There is nothing neither of you can do to sway each other. If you want sauron to leave you alone..then stop commenting to him.

i completely agree with you pissing_lasers

GoliathSlasher Sorry man I was thinking damn his on a warpath.

Agree with you tymishu78 Nobody is stopping me from going to halloween august 31.

Also, he doesnt just kill Judith,he kills 2 other people as well,and he's 10,ok the little things that are different are starting to add up and come together,if you look at "Halloween" in some ways its all about relationships...well, that and b/c i sometimes look at things from a strange point of view....c mon people more posting sh*t about the movie and a bit less crying about Sauron...Hes really a big softy....HA!

Alright folks, ready for some realism? RZ basically was saying that he saved the series because there was not a series, and kept the series in a "traditional" sense on his own. First, that is all a bunch of crap about the series. As PL mentioned earlier, yes there would've been another movie whether Zombie was there or not. I also think that is bunch of crap that the execs would allow him to do ANYTHING with Michael in this series. That would NOT HAPPEN AT ALL!! If that was the case, the movie would not sell. It wouldn't be Halloween, that simple. OK, here is a pitch... "Let's throw Mike in a sweater and some tennies and have him lurking in the shadows..." Give me a freakin' break. I think Zombie was lying through his ass when talking about them allowing him to do anything with the movie, Michael, etc. and on his way of conveying that there would not have been a continuation of the series if HE didn't make this movie. Now to John Carpenter: I think he refused to do others simply because he couldn't match the first. I think it is that simple. He was original in a lot of aspects in the first film, so he would be repeating himself. I'm sure he thought he couldn't match the first, so why the hell do it? Also, think about the word "revision." In a literal sense, Zombie did. It is a good marketing word. Whether this movie turns out to be good or crap, still remains to be seen.

Good call Haddonfreak...people shouldnt get into this JUST because Rob Zombie is "at the helm" they should know this aint a fu**ing music video and it'll "rock" and have his ol lady in it and have a"killer" soundtrack JUST becuase Rob Zombie is doing it....It may do well and it just might suck a fat co*k,doesnt make RZ better than anyone just becuase he picked up a lost ball than someone else surely woulda picked up in time.....

Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth Time Etc. Etc. Etc. Whatever happened to ....."Oh Sauron, I'm done with talking to you, its getting to be rediculous."(8/7/07, 5:02pm) I guess that statement stands about as true as everything else you've said. So then I can expect that we all will still be graced by your insightful and magnanimous literary posts replete with the humor, insightfulness and wit that we've all come to know and love from you slasher??? Let me just run down the goliathslasher motif one more time: A) Let's lie to try and sway the fans with information that we have no idea how to disseminate correctly B) Let's try and drag other posters in to defend our feminine honor when we know we're losing C) Let's get violent, threatening (must be nice to be the mayor of tough-guy city behind a keyboard) and pissed when we know our cause is hopeless and (my favorite) D) Let's feign indifference and then reregister under another username (you see Slash, THAT tactic only works if you're not dumb enough to then go and respond under your original username, duh).....,,,,,.....,,,,,Anyway my apologies for misinterpreting ROB's use of the ever-friendly mot$erf$cker nomenclature. So he meant it as friendly lingo, fine I can't fault him for that and I'll admit when I'm corrected. NONE of that changes what I see as at least POTENTIAL problems for this project and if you are a diehard of the original, then you know what I am talking about. However, if you claim to be "way more intelligent" then that.....well keep livin the dream baby.

Daveberg.....I can't believe that I lived to see the day that you and I were in agreement about SOMETHING with this movie. Your opinions have gravitated much closer to mine then when we were at war months ago. Have I softened? Have you taken a harder stance at this? The franchise was dead. The difference is A) remakes are beter left to movies that need it B) Halloween is TopShelf for its genre and thereby should be untouched and yes C) we got a director that basically got the job because he got to induldge his hobby, not his profession mind you, but his hobby because he was a celebrity. If a completely unknown Joeschmo emerged from the shadows with THIS script 90% of ROB's friends would be howling 1000 times louder than I ever have on these forums. ROB GOT THE JOB BECAUSE HE'S A CELEBRITY AND MALEK AKKAD THINKS THAT HIS NAME AND FACE WILL GENERATE DOLLAR SIGNS, PURE AND SIMPLE. So anyone who thinks that ROB got the job because of some perceived literary genius better look long and hard at that arguement. And, for the record, once again, I STAND CORRECTED JUMPING THE GUN ABOUT THE WHOLE M-Fer comment. If everyone chooses to disregard every single one of my other comments and opinions because of that, then that is their right. My opinions, and the facts that I use to support them, about the whole state of this mess remain unchanged, however.....BTW Tymishu, you nailed it on the head with one sentence about the baiting where others seem to need a constant verbal bludgeoning to understand.....

*sigh*....and there i was wanting to change my user name to "strap on" or "what franchise,motherfu**ers"Btw Sauron,one fu**tard even thinks Mr mcDowell needs acting lessons...sorry i just wanted to see if i could instigate heh heh....

ok its 3:08 in the morning right now when i am beginning to type this because unlike sauronthepowerful and tymishu78 i have a life and was at a party until 2:30 and im a little wasted. ok to both you sauron and tymishit or whatever screw you both. how did i make a fool of myself tymisht? i dont understand. you were an idiot and misunderstood my comment about sauron as a comment to you. so shut the hell up! i appoligized if you were affended, even though anyone who is normally on here would know that that comment was towards sauron. stiffle it you moron! you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. and as for you sauron, why are you still around. really your a failure to humanity. leave... join the village people... do somthing with yourself besides hate rob zombie's movie. honestly just because you hate the man doesnt mean you should hate the movie. your just a friggn WEIRDO!!!!!!

YES PEOPLE WHEN ROB ZOMBIE SAID "MOTHERFUCKERS" HE WAS REFERING TO THE HUMAN TAMPONS KNOWN AS SAURONTHEPOWERFUL AND TYMISHU78 (who types like he is a foreigner, and deffinately talks like an asian foreigner; i have nothing against asians, loved audition and ichi the killer)

Morning all. Just risen from my pit over here in the UK. To be honest, Sauron, i just don't think some of my earlier rants with you (although we had some nice heated ones back then) were as completely neutral as i would've liked. As i always say, I'm trying to be a fence sitter, admittedly leaning over to the positive side, but that can be justified as me having an excited anticipation of seeing one of the most iconic horror movie characters of all time, return to the silver screen, there really is nothing else to it. It's tough to keep up the balancing act at times - I love the rotted mask, Myers looks damn ferocious.....then i switch over and think, 'Shit, is that young Micheal crying like a bitch? This sucks' So, up here, on my perch, where the air is unpolluted without the fetid stench of argument or flaming, i shall sit. Sit until i have earned the right to either bitch or bow about this movie. (Easier said than done my friends........)

Greetings all! Nice to see redundancy remains. It's like Mr. T talking to Rocky Balboa "I got lotta more for you, lotta more!" HAHAHAHA!!! Don't take this personal Goliath (hope your head is OK this a.m.), but you just got to let this one go. I bet once this next wave calms down (and you know it's coming), if you just argue the views of this movie, only the views will be argued back. You are losing on the personal battle front. I mean no disrespect, just trying to help.

I can relate...its difficult to see the new and different things i see in the trailers and t.v. spots,i think its because we're so used to the original and we hold that in such high esteem,ya know, NEW doesnt always mean BETTER, though sometimes,maybe it does...i still wished Carpenter was attached somehow...at least 4 of his movies have been remade and RZ could learn alot from him

It will be so nice to finally see it and be able to review it. Will it be a great new modern horror classic? Will it completely suck ? Or will it fall somewhere in the middle? 21 days to view, 22 days to review.

Can you imagine what'll become of Rob Zombie if this movie completely sucks?wow...3 whole movies and he would be done.Forever. I do have some good feelings (notice i said "some") about it though,so far it looks pretty decent,times ticking, and this has got sooooo much hype to live up to

Haddonfreak , yes my head is doing fine, it was a rough night, even rougher morning lol. i can understand your point on my arguments with sauron, and whoever the hell this new asian person is, but i dont see it as me losing, or winning for the matter. the same applies to both of them (sauron and whoever the other guy is). as i see it, we are all very stubborn, defending our points of view, and none of us are going to take no for an answer. JonnyHorror i cant wait to see it either, like ive said from the beginning, i personally believe this film will far exceede everybody's expectations.

and now that im sober... sauron, if you werent so consumed in everything about yourself, you would realize that i said i was going to stop talking to you on the last forum.. and i did after a few extra comments. this a new thread. get what im saying? and tymishu78 how the hell did i make a fool of myself? i understand your whole neutraility thing, but we go over this shit all the time. dont butt in and comment towards someones reaction to something if you dont know whats going on. honestly.. 21 MORE DAYS TILL "HALLOWEEN"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said before GoliathSlasher. I don't post on here everyday but I do come on here and read what's going on. I'm not comment happy. I say what I have to say and move on. That's what I was saying by making a "fool" out of yourself. You're assuming. I seen you two post on many other topics and forums. So yes, I can comment on it. Plus I do not understand why you go back and forth with someone that you are not going to sway? He beats you to the punch everytime and you fall for it everytime. You hate it when he insults you but you insult others who have a different opinion other then yours. Unlike you. This is my last post about this argument. I will continue to leave comments but not towards you. Trust me. It's a losing battle. LMAO!

Good one Jonny. How could anyone that is a movie buff say such a stupid thing about Malcolm McDowell. I guess they really aren't movie buffs, but some 12 year old gamer. One line in a trailer and now he needs acting lessons. Wow these postings are really sinking to new lows. Here's the bottom line...what's done is done. There is no going back. The movie is less than a month away and either you will go watch it or you won't. No one cares. This movie will not in anyway do some irreversible damage to the original. That is there for ever as a stand alone great. Did the new crappy Texas chainsaw movie harm the original. NO! I can still remember the original and if need be, go out and rent it. I too hated the re-imagining at first then thought, what the heck. Could it be any worse than H-4,5,6,7, and 8! Those movies ruined the original more than Zombie's version ever could. The Hallowen legacy was ruined as soon as H-4 wrapped up shooting with that fat, funny cartoonish looking Michael Myers. If I saw one more silly sequel with a rap star and a barn party, I was going to lose it. I will go out on the 31st. and watch Zombie's version armed with just that and an open mind. Of course I will pray to the horror gods prior to walking in. If it stinks? Nothing lost except for my ten bucks, and two hours. Life will still go on.

Oh that was it.....I must have misinterpreted this part of your post "im done with talking to you, its getting to be rediculous. ill argue with you again when B-D gives this a good review." So, am I missing something there. NOWHERE does it say that you are waiting for the NEXT thread. It SPECIFICALLY STATES, IN YOUR VERY WORDS, that you are out until a REVIEW comes around. Anyone seen a review here yet? Oh, and then there's the matter about the next six times you responded to me in THE SAME THREAD.....HOOK.......LINE.......SINKER!!!!! What it DOES say is that "Sauron, Oh Sauron, I can't take the verbal as#-whooping that you insist on laying down every time I attempt to use some childishly colorful metaphor without the slightest idea what I'm talking about, you're pissing me off, please stop and don't put words in my mouth....." AGAIN OU ARE CAUGHT IN YET ANOTHER LIE OF YOUR OWN MAKING.

tymishu78 you really have no idea what the hell you are talking about.. seriously... what is your definition of fool? i just dont really know how to reply because you must be retarted. its your opinion that im losing this battle.. someone like you is stupid and doesnt understand that by using big words and constantly bragging about how great you are doesnt mean that your winning. you are just the worlds biggest sped. "Oh Sauron" (first time im ever saying that) here you are again with all you "im the greatest man on here!" sauron just because your vocabulary is bigger than everyone elses.. just because your a loser who probrobly sits home and reads and studys because he has no social staus. you just a huge loser in my opinion. 21 more days bitches!

Laser, sorry that I havn't gotten around to it yet, but you had me laughing with the numerous attempts at 'friendlier,' diversionary conversation. To bring it back to THE MOVIE. I will give it that Myers looks intense for the 3rd act parts and there is a certain feel of tangible psychotic menace rather than stoic evil, if you get where I'm going. McDowell's resume has stood untouched for over 35 years. The guy's a paragon by today's standards. Still, I think that he will be GOOD but also merely serviceable compared to Pleasence, and that is no fault of ROB's. Daveberg, I understand your trepidition, but if you REALLY want to see it for the Michael Myers aspect, then I think you'll end up leaving more satisfied than any one since 1988. As we've already discussed, other than my constant bent towards the director, the concept of remaking THIS PARTICULAR MOVIE, really galls the h%ll out of myself and the rest of the 'haters.' Haddonfreak.....yeah dude, I know you're gettin fed up with the nonmoviespecific stuff. I'd love to keep it real to the project. We'll see.....

P.W. Your right on the money. Nothing will hurt the original. Why did nobody complain about all the crappy sequels damaging the originals credibility ? Because they didn't. And neither will this prequel/re-imagining.

Well Haddon, sorry, but I gotta leap back into the fray.....To "That Other Guy" So you've managed to play the racist, handicapped, sympathy, drunk, AND anger cards all in the space of less than 24 hrs. Congratulations! Even I gotta give you credit for pulling that one off.....Seriously, I don't recall ever saying I was better (as in this statement "OH SAURON, I'm actually way More Intelligent Than you") than anyone. And it would seem that the only person I'm at war with is YOU. I AM FULLY AWARE OF THOSE ON THIS BOARD WHO DON'T AGREE WITH ME AND THOSE WHO HATE MY SPEECH. But the funny thing is, that I'm not denigrating them. I'm denigrating you. So don't go trying to say that I slam EVERYONE who disagrees with me. Rather, it's only the ones who are UNINTELLIGENT enough to attempt to pick a cheap fight and then feign manhood in place of any credible factual evidance. At the height of my greatest wars with Johnny and Daveberg (sorry I hypocrited myself by dropping you guys in there, it's only for reference NOT sympathy so don't bother to jumpin) I never had to stoop to racist/handicapped bulls%it to appear ooh-ssoo-aannggrryy.....You are an immature little miscreant with the intellectual threshold of an adolescent crying out in anger and frustration because his altogether not creative attempts at slander and lying are constantly recognized and refuted with fact, not colorful innuendo. If you're pissed because of my vocabulary, instead of running over to Mspace and attempting to recruit others to back you up (yeah that was mature) go DO SOMETHING with your life and purchase a set of "Hooked-On-Phonics 101" instead of regurgiating the same tired retinue of "maxi this, foreigner that, etc. etc. etc. Maturity, my friend, and it would go a LONG way in your life.....

The thing about all of this "debate" that I find so amusing, is the hatred it seems to invoke. People tearing into other people, ridiculing each other, comparing intelligence/lack thereof and so on, it's all quite entertaining really. I'm sure if it wasn't for this "Hot" topic, most of you face to face ( not behind the iron wall that is your computers )would probably get along. I never cease to be amazed at the wonders of online banter. I want to personally thank each and every one of you, it's nice to step out of the real world and be entertained without any financial responsibilty whatsoever. Someone should transfer this dialogue onto a disk, market it and sell it. Fantastic stuff.....really.

listen dude, its funny. im in highschool, one of the top 3 schools in my state actually. and its funny, your probrobly like in your 30's and have nothing better to do. do you have a job? because your posting on here an aweful lot. someone with your "intelligence" should have a steady job shouldnt they? hmmm... yeah you can pretend to be as smart and badass online.. its the only way you can seem superior to people i guess. your lame. i just dont understand why people like you must consistently hate on a movie because of its director. there is no reason for it. that was my original beef with you sauron.. you turned a simple argument over a movie into something that is personal..does it make you feel better? if so than you must have some serious psycologial issues and need to get a psychiatric evaluation immediately. and im sorry if i come off a little racist sounding.. im just expressing the fact that this random dude who types his sentences like a foreigner is an asian. so what? i never intended it to be taken as prejudice, you made it into that sauron. your just way to complicated and odd. and speaking of regurgitation, on every friggn forum for this you just begin with the hate of the movie because of rob. anyone who isnt a moron and could understand sarcasm and had an open mind could clearly see that rob wasnt being serious with the "motherfuckers" it was a mix of him being fed up from the same complaints from people like you.. who dont shut up and open their minds. and f.y.i sauron im taking 2nd year college english.. so stop trying to make me seem like im a retard because im anything but.

Ok ok,we've all seen the tv spots and trailers and we've all posted about the sh*t we dont like,lets maybe TRY and post about the stuff we DO like about what we've seen so far...sound good motherf**kers? HA!

fuck all this arguing im gonna go watch "SPLASH" from 1984 with Tom Hanks..lol

SEVERED HAND, you are so right, this is entertaining. GOLIATH SLASHER, pardon my interruption, but try not to take the comments so seriously. The fact that you are in High School is probably why you get so offended, it's maturity, and that's not an insult. As you get older, you will be able to let this stuff roll off your sleeve alot easier. If you don't respond to the insults, chances are you will be left alone. Stick to the topic......PEACE.

Johnny, I can understand why the sequels did not hurt the integrity of Halloween. It is the for the fact that they were sequels and nothing else. We just kind of hope that they are going to be watchable. This movie is the remaking of the original. To me it is like apples and oranges. A remaking of a classic is something else. The hoping becomes expectations and that is what fires a lot of people up. Goliath, if you are in High School, what the hell are you doing going out and getting wasted? Sauron, at least you tried, but what the hell... You just gotta do what you gotta do...

Hello all. I've been reading this forum for quite some time now, and I think i've posted once. Pissing lasers said that we should try to talk about what we like about what we've seen thus far. I personally love the trailers, I like the look Mr. Zombie has given to this movie. It's dark, gritty, realistic looking. I recently read an interveiw with Mr. Zombie in an issue of Wizard magazine. In the interveiw he stated that he was a huge fan of the original Halloween, and that he is not trying to remake this movie, but fill in the gaps instead. The one thing that gave me good chuckle about the interveiw is when he said that there have been a handful of really good horror movis made over the past decade. Mr. Zombie reffered to everything else as WB horror movies. I really think Mr. Zombie's vision of Halloween will suprise alot of people, and be far better than alot give it credit for.

Haddonfreak, i think Goliath may be out of school because it's summer vacation. If I were still in high school and out for summer vacation, i'd probably be partying till two in the morning also.

The fact that you keep having to quantify your intelligence is temperred by the fact that you are a just a child who cannot seriously argue anything because of your lack of life experience. I have seen the light however. You are but a child and as such have not lived long enough to speak with any level of understanding or maturity born through experience, PERIOD. That isn't meant to piss you off (though whether it does or not, I don't care), but it is the truth. Your diatribes are litterred with disparaging remarks, lies, innuendo, immaturity, and anger. You defend your racist attitude on one hand and then start with the handicapped crap. I am at fault because I should have known better that you were a child earlier on. Taking Track 2 English courses is a great way to better yourself and I wish you the best of luck. However, don't then parlay that into insults about other factions of society that you are not yet grown up enough to understand (and I'm not talking about insulting me, because, as you should already be able to tell, I CAN TAKE THE HEAT). Now, as for my misinterpretation of the m&therf%^ker remark, I've already done it, but will do it a third time just for clarity. THAT WAS MY MISTAKE. IF Jgrayland IS telling the truth, then I misinterpreted the context and can't fault ROB. In all fairness however, he DID INSINUATE that it was his way or no movie and that everyone should be grateful that he's on the job (which makes me suspicious as it has other posters about the truth in ROB's words). For the record: Yes, I have been against this project from Day 1. Yes, a lot of it stems from what I see as a tainted choice of director. HOWEVER, I have made it clear NUMEROUS other times that there are other reasons to hate this than ROB. Does Halloween rreeaallllyy need to be REMADE? Do we need a cliche/emo/edipal fantasy explanation as to why Michael is so bent OTHER than the reasons Carpenter so wisely chose to hide? Is Malek Akkad so desperate to inject life into this franchise that THIS script is the best they could do? Think about those questions seriously for a moment before you fire off half-cocked. And ftr, I have a very good job that allows me diversionary time to post for my passions.....

And before EVERYONE jumps down my throat for hammerring on after the truth became known, that post was not meant as an insult, baiting, act-of-war, etc. That's as much of an olive branch as we're going to get here. What happens next is out of my hands, but hopefully words are chosen wisely.....

@ sauron: you seem to waste half of your life posting long ass responses to things you don't even like... i would pity your life, but it appears you don't have one

I think Mr. Zombie should remake Spiderman 3. He would have done alot better job than Sam the Man. That movie was a spit in the face to any Spiderman fan.

im just going to say me being in highschool has nothing to do with my maturity. i am completely mature unless i am put into a situation where i get pissed.

Thanks Jonny. I think I've got it down to a science now. I thought when I remarked "If it stinks? Nothing lost except for my ten bucks, and two hours. Life will still go on.", would make others think about it and see the light. Oh well, I tried.

See man?crap like South_park300 posted,being all random and posting a response 5 hrs later ....not to disrespect but just drop it already,stick to the subject "Halloween" not responding to what someone else responded to just to type sh*t and try to appear all clever and snarky.....wait, i just said snarky...Ha!!

Hmmmrpphh. Still the hate, still the confrontation. Me thinks I'm not missing much, oh the days where it was just witty remarks and mature psychological warfare......

Redhood. My point was about age, not school nights "get to bed early."

Remake, no remake, fill in the gaps or not. I guess we'll all see the final cut in a few weeks. The BD interview with Zombie really bothers me though, because I'm positive he was not speaking the truth (see my 8/10 12:20 a.m. post). That probably don't have anything to do with this film, but it sounds like a false justification and a false sense of self-worth to me.

I really don't see the point of this film.

South_park300 i do agree with you.. but im just not going to argue anymore with people (sauron dont take that as me backing down from you, i could argue with you all day, i just dont get anything out of it like you seem to) i didnt want to start a whole personal battle in the first place. i just wanted to defend this movie because im really into it.. i guess we both go a little carried away. (once again dont get a power trip off this) but im going to state that i just dispise being judgmental on anything that hasnt personally been experienced. once you see it and think its bad, go ahead and bash it.. but its just completely out of line to go all mental on a movie if it hasnt even comeout yet.. if you hate rob zombie, im fine with that.. but im just a big fan of the "halloween" franchise and i want this film to succede. im going to quit the arguements as long as everyone saves their comments on how this film will turn out until it comes out. but if someone decides to argue with me again, i have no problem continuing

Haddonfreak i think he was lying too. making michael talk or changing his look would just kill the franchise even more than it has been by the crappy sequels. they probrobly gave him all creative rights he wanted as long as the same basic storyline was the same.
