I would also tell Jamie Lee Curtis to eat her heart out. With some of the comments she's made in the past about Halloween, and the fact that she only did H20 because her career was in the toilet at the time, and she needed a hit, I'm glad that someone at Dimension had the good sense to finally end that other timeline and start fresh.

I hate these arrogant actors and actresses who, after becoming famous, decide that the film or t.v. show that made them that way is beaneath them.I hope I never hear from JLC again. She was one of my favorites, but now she makes me sick.

Sorry about the rant. We now return you to your regularly scheduled horror thread, already in progress.........

There was an interview she did whilemaking H20, that was cut out. You may can find the audio of it, but she said, when asked about coming back for another Halloween, that she wouldn't do it for any amount of money. That just really struck me as very arrogant. It kinda pissed me off, seeing as we only knew her as Janet Leigh's and Tony Curtis's daughter, and one of the stars Operation Petticoat when her career started.

Halloween gave her her start, and for me, even if she did fel like that, if you heard her tone, it sounded like the series was beneath her. What i did enjoy is Danielle Harris wanted to come back and do H6, even though it was basically a cameo, and turned it down because the asswipe execs didn't want to pay her some good money (On top of the fact that she didn't like how her caharcter was killed off).

I don't know, Shawn. I guess I'm just huge on actors we have never heard before making it big, and then still being grateful for the opprotunity that many people don't get, but instead act like the project that putthem on the map was a burden to them.

I had to opportunity to see the original in theatres this past Halloween when they had a limited run screening here in NYC. It was such a surreal experience. It was great seeing people scared out of their minds from GENUINE scares. Not cheap "GOTCHA" moments that are so prevalent in today's horror movies.

Now, imagine seeing it when it first premiered? Dude, there were grown men with their hands over their eyes! :lol: The funniest stuf you would have ever seen. Seeing it in the theater is the best, especially with surround sound.

    • After watching the performances tonight I can't understand why Finland and Malta are seen as some of the favourites. Finland's song is not one of the best this year and I maintain that Miriana Conte who represents Malta is a poor singer. My guess is that it's because of the controversial nature of both these songs. I'm not all that impressed with Austria either. But France on the other hand emerged as a big contender tonight. A beautiful song, a wonderful singer and fantastic staging. Greece also had a spectacular stage show which definitely enhanced their chances. I guess it's part nostalgia factor but I really want Luxembourg to go through to the final as well. I love the homage to France Gall and Laura Thorn sold the song very well. Much better than in the clip from the national final.
    • The older Ted was more unlikeable. The character came across warmer and mo sympathetic today whereas the older one portrayed him with a dark side. Thats why I said his scenes with Leslie will tell alot bc thats where he comes across the most like a villain and had me feeling bad for her at times
    • I completely agree @Soaplovers with your excellent comment.  And the bold, confident Stephanie we saw in her previous incarnations would be a much better match for Alex than the one trying to play house too soon. Let’s not forget: Alex came on the scene as a walking red flag with a gym membership—dodging commitment in love and work. And now he’s out here giving career advice? From a man whose last job was playing a soap star no one in Salem has even heard of? Sir. What I’d love is for Stephanie to be a genuine challenge for him—not someone who bends to his charm, but someone who knows she’s the prize. She’s a free agent in Salem: no ex-husband drama, no kid in tow, no awkward family entanglements. Let her be more like Kayla now—centered, respected, and not here for games—than Kayla was when she was falling off motorcycles with Steve. The next great Salem love story shouldn't be about chemistry alone. It should be earned—like Patch and Kayla, Shane and Kim, or even Bo and Hope on their best days. Give us slow burn, mutual respect, and a Stephanie who makes him level up.
    • It's looking like I may be in the minority, but nuTed is a major improvement to me. I agree, it will take a few days to get used to the higher pitched voice and smaller stature, but his acting is so much better. I can feel the emotions in his voice and face and it just feels more real and natural.  Kat was great today too, giving us the tears and her softer side. Loved Leslie/Bill - we need more of this!  Did y'all notice Leslie's snake necklace?? So creepy, but fitting for her haha. Tomorrow should be an updated intro with Keith, unless they repeat the second one for days until they get it updated.
    • Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ✌

    • It was all about Gio today, boys

      He was really sweet and dorky though, and I enjoyed the violin lol. And he looked good too  I'm speculating that the big reveal will happen at Gio's birthday party. It's definitely time. But yeah, he really should've gotten advice and encouragement from someone, from anyone other than Sonny though. And while I understand where Dante is coming from, he was a little annoying today again. They really needed to establish this tension and anger a lot sooner than now, or not do it at all. Plus, this had already been done with Mac/Cody, Nina/Willow, etc., and honestly, it doesn't seem necessary here.  As for Lucky and Liz, as much as I like angsty couples, I'm still concerned about what Frank may (or may try to) do with them. The biggest reason why Lucky is like a 'cowboy' is because this friggin guy spent the better part of a decade basically erasing him from existence.
    • True, lol. IIRC, Rita Moreno said in an interview that part of the problem was that Susan Harris was ill during the week they taped that episode and therefore was unable to make needed script changes.  I wonder what might have happened had they been able to delay the taping until she felt well enough to work more on the script.  I feel like "Nest" might've sold with Moreno and Paul Dooley (although the patient with DID would've needed to be eighty-sixed regardless, lol).
    • What is the most recent episode in which Maurice Johnson's Ted wore a turtleneck?
    • They had a Liam/Hope montage today supposedly about all their times together but it was only Annika's Hope and no scenes from Kim Matula's Hope.  I realize they probably didn't want to restage those scenes with Annika. But still it was weird to omit the Italian wedding.  They could have thrown in a Puglia scenery pic without the actors.
    • I haven't watched today's episode yet, but maybe that was the point. Maybe they're trying to move Ted in a more unlikable/villain direction and it wouldn't work with the previous actor. Or maybe it's just that transition phase which will take some getting used to.
