Sorry to see you in a wheelchair, old friend!

^ What did you think of Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN?
I liked the poor white trash vibe.

The second one was absolutely dreadful.  The first one I found quite scary and really enjoyed.

Agree. He didn't want to make the second one, but was forced into it by the studio.

It's my desk chair! I don't wheel around in the f**king thing. I walk all over the place. I'm not a cripple! It's got a cushion on the seat! And wheels, If I wanna roll back in my chair.

That C word is not cool... I'm sure no one here would think any less if you were

In the 90s worked for 6 months as part of a small team assisting a paraplegic wheelchair user (spinal injuries) who was studying At uni for a degree in law... was a real eye opener, the life this guy had to deal with, and his determination. have so much respect for anyone in that situation

I didn't intend to offend anyone, I'm sorry if I did. I was just stating a fact about myself. I got the wheelchair last year after I tried to drink myself to death, and I couldn't walk at the time. It was awful, and I have much respect for those who have to deal with those problems every day.

I get 'tv movie' vibes from part 3

seeing as I'm too lazy to pick 31 films, here's my ranking of the HALLOWEEN franchise

PART 2 (ooh controversial)
PART1 (slightly overrated but still really good)
PART 5 (mad and bad)
RESURRECTION (utterly stupid but quite fun)
PART 4 (just about okay enough to be watchable)
PART 3 (original but a tad repetitive)
H20 (bland but watchable)
THE CURSE OF (directionless and weak)
HALLOWEEN 2018 (not what I wanted from a comeback)
BOTH ROB ZOMBIE ONES (just horrible)

not seen: KILLS, ENDS

Gotta' say, we do not often seem to see eye-to-eye on manty movies, but I largely agree w/ your (offbeat!) rankings and rationale of these.

I've always preferred the original part 2 as a "second act" that delivers great catharsis following the OG.
Part 5 is perennially underrated... watched it again 3-4 years ago... it maintains.
Part 4... perennially overrated. Starts well, gets as stupid as any dumb slasher ever.
The Zombies are garbage. He's a one or two trick pony whose run his cred into the dirt long ago...

Your comments about SOTW's "TV movie" vibe are received... it's a schizophrenic film. I find parts extremely striking and quite cinematic... but it's not consistent. There are some flat sections for sure...

sorry to hear, - yeah I know you wouldn't try and cause offence, it's just that word and everything that goes with it... maybe I'm being too sensitive? I don't get triggered by much tbh.

part 5 gets universally panned, I like it cause it's just so off the wall. think you might be the first person I've seen not slate it!

interesting how the big 3 slasher franchises went 'psychic kid' around the same time, with F13 part 7, and ElmSt Dream Child, their late 80s entries

Part 5 plays well in our current cultural "moment"... for me anyway.
All the male characters behave w/ ignorance or w/ what today people call "toxicity", Loomis included, and Michael comes off as unusually vicious here...
Everyone suffers for that behavior (men certainly get it too) but the female characters are particularly sympathetic and still have a really hard time... 
I watched it ia few years back n October around some confirmation hearings that I shall leave unspecified... it resonated.

You've done a great job keeping things reasonably light in this thread, ZNO, while still speaking truth, and I thank you.

RC, I hope you're taking care of your health now. It's good to stay moblie!
