Quote:Which makes it sound like you think this movie will ruin the "hood" that the original Halloween created... which is absolutely wrong. Michael Myers could ride around on a unicycle and kill people in this flick and it takes nothing away from the original. Did the Vince Vaughn Psycho ruin Hitchcock\'s? Did the up-to-date, trendy Dawn of the Dead ruin Romero\'s masterpiece? If you don\'t like this movie when you see it, then that\'s cool. But please don\'t disrespect what John Carpenter and Debra Hill created by saying that it\'s going to ruin MM or Halloween. (note: this isn\'t directed at you Adam, this is in general)When I say its one of those times where "its better left alone while its good", I mean it just hurts the face of the original. You\'re going to have all these stupid kids saying "man Michael is f8cked up, he jacks off to dead animals.. yeah that\'s Halloween". Its like when you\'re talking and someone interupts and tries to finish your sentence with something completely different than what you were going to say. This film, if that script isn\'t a joke, is going to ruin Halloween\'s reputation. Why have to explain Michael? That was the genius behind him, you didn\'t need to know why, and if you did, there\'s really nothing to see. He just snapped one day and turned almost into a statue for so long. You don\'t need to know! It was a brief overview of his past, to set up the story, not much thought into it, like Rob wants to do, because the story is set at Halloween 1978. I\'m convinced that \'reimagining\' is a very dangerous word and apparently warrants \'creative control\' to completely warp a story, yet (shamefully) retain its original title. And I\'m still pissed that Rob would take such an \'extreme in-your-face" approach to this movie... It\'s magic lies in the suspense and terror of the film, not what is shoved in your face.

I just think its going to end up like one of those situations where you want one of your friends to see an awesome movie, and before you can, their idea of the movie has been ruined by someone with a misinformed, untrue-to-the-original view of the film.
