I'm not for or against the reboot, I'm just saying I can see where some folks might not like it. Some people hate the sound of the inevitible nails hammered into Englund Freddy's coffin. I would see where some folks would have preferred to see someone who looked more like Englund, or at least have the makeup style be the same.There's nothing wrong with having an opinion about the treatment of a favored character. The point isn't to change everyone's mind, it's to indicate distress that the Englund Freddy has gone away and won't be back, while the movie folks say, "No, now THIS is Freddy" and want you to accept something you didn't "sign-on for" when you started identifying as a Freddy fan. Perhaps there's the hope that likeminded folks could help make some kinda' difference, I don't know, but it's not like there's a buncha people out there to discuss it with.. of course they're going to come to their friends (freddy fans) to discuss it. How is it stupid to voice your opinion with friends? Perhaps you're tired of the discussions? that's understandable.. I generally avoid them personally.Halloween.. I haven't seen Part 2 and wont. Hellraiser, I'm hating what they've done to Pinhead. If you've read where the Pinhead concept originates from, and the whole point of the nails.. it's really a shame which way they appear to be going with that makeup. It's "cooler" in some respects.. but not the ones that count, in my opinion. I'll still see it regardless.
