Sadie Sink is, I'd say the best actor as far as the teen group goes. Dustin does a lot of theater, Broadway, so I'd assume he's decent enough but I've only seen him on the show. Sink's signed a 5-picture deal with Marvel/Disney and is in the next Spider-Man coming out in June, and Avengers Secret Wars in 2027.

Hopper doing something with Montauk would actually be fun, especially with his character's background. Given so much alleged stuff that's happened there, it'd have to be a 2-part film or even a short term one off season with like 6 episodes to pack everything in. I don't know if they'll do it, but they said spin-offs and related things can happen. There's a cartoon coming out already, takes place between...I think season 2 and 3, or season 1 and 2, I forget.

He should have formed a band with Harry Houdini called The Early Spooky Guys.

I've had vol au vent (in Cape Town, South Africa!) But what I think you Belgians should be proudest of is your beer. Duvel may be my favorite beer of all time, but I've never had a Belgian beer that disappointed.

I think so too. Meanwhile there are some Belgian beers that disappoint (at least they disappoint me). When I was young it looked like the big breweries would steamroller everything, but then the smaller ones and the microbreweries fought back. But nowadays the market is so crowded that some are launching novelty beers, just to try and stand out. These tend to be hit and miss. But if you stick to the traditional styles, you're safe.

feel like maybe Tobe Hooper fits into the overrated category... without TCM what would he be? and apparently most of that movie's good stuff was down to another guy on the production dept?

Wes Craven as well, for me. None of his stuff apart from LAST HOUSE... does anything for me (well HILLS HAVE EYES 2 is so bad it's good, I'll give him that!)... I guess this may be an unpopular opinion tho, as NIGHTMARE and SCREAM have legions of fans who will point out those movies are legit groundbreaking / quality

I somewhat agree on Craven. And, I'm a huge Scream series fan. Those are pretty solid, but honestly my two favorite films in the series are Scream 5 & 6, and he didn't even direct them cause he passed away.

maybe it's just cause I saw it in the cinema, therefore added impact, but even as a horror/slasher fan I found the violence in SCREAM 5 to be gut churning. I guess that's a compliment? lol

I'll take it as one. I mean, the first movie, Drew Barrymore is gutted and hung from a tree in the first like, twenty minutes. It's always been a bit violent.

Granted I grew up a Saw fan and that's torture porn.

I'll probably get s**t for this but Steve Perry, former vocalist of Journey. I honestly don't see why people love his vocals, I just find them grating. This is not me being a metal head either, I do listen to other music genres as well. I just cannot stand his vocals.

Can't imagine anyone would give you s**t for that. Never understood Journey's appeal.

I somewhat get the appeal to Journey as an arena soft rock group (somewhat similar to Foreigner, but if they were softer), but I do NOT like Steve's vocals.
