I agree. Halloween I was good because it was psychological horror, not some "flash-in-the-pan" gore-fest. He better not screw this up.

But, I must say, that mask looks scary as hell. Looks about ten times better than some of the previous masks in the series.

And remember, Tyler is about 6'5. With the mask finally going back to what it looked like in the original, plus the overalls looking lived in, he could be the most terrifying Shape since Nick Castle.

Yeah, some of the stuff Zombie's said about it had me rolling my eyes. He wants to make the whole movie about Loomis and Zombie with Laurie Strode as someone who doesn't enter until the 3rd act. I always liked how poor Laurie was the focus of the film. Only hardcore Rob Zombie followers wanna see a psychopathic little boy killing animals for an hour...

Well, I think he wants to explore the psyche of a young Michael Meyers more than the film did. He's not remaking it word for word act by act. He's putting a new angle on it. I'm going to go in with an open mind. I love the look of Michael so ...

Having more of the focus on Loomis and Michael and putting Laurie in the background may hurt Rob. What was nice about the original (before the soap-opera twist in II where they made Laurie Michael's long-lost sister) was that Michael was just a guy who escaped from the nut farm and decided to go back home and kill people. He had no motive at the time other than he was wacko. It was very simple, and pretty realistic if you ask me.

The sequels have gotten so convoluted, I think a better approach is just to get back to basics with this remake. Don't focus so much on the psychological mumbo-jumbo and what made him a murderer. People can get bored by that and the film could seriously drag. We know he ain't all there.

I think it's a great idea to focus on what made Michael tick. Should that be the whole movie? No. But I think it will be a nice backstory. I've always wanted that for Friday the 13th.

I think people are reading way too much into his plans for the movie. He knows what's at stake. He knows how huge this movie is to people. The backlash would be huge if he messes this up. I've had my reservations about him but I'm starting to really look forward to this.

I do understand why some people just want a slasher flick ... and no I don't want 2 hours of psychological mumbo jumbo, but I think establishing Michael's back story, REAL back story is crucial.

    • -- "The role of Ted Richardson is now being played by...." I love that throwback to soaps from yesteryear. I know we don't want BTG to be our grandmother's soap, but sometimes Grandma's soaps had it right. -- I was FULLY prepared to dislike Keith D. Robinson as Ted, and I even went through things in my mind that I could say because I was fine with Maurice Johnson and felt bad for him.     However, Robinson was awfully good, especially for Day 1. He's a different Ted, but he's a good actor -- natural and real. People saying Gates "should have gone older" are head-scratchers since Robinson is older than Johnson. -- I expected Bill to be tougher than he was with Dana, THE worst mother of the year on soaps. -- Kat went toe-to-toe in those scenes with Dana. We're all in love with Ambyr/Eva, but Colby/Kat is also killing it. -- Derek and Ashley? I'm turning on Ashley, who can't even pretend to like Derek, let alone love him. Her annoyance with him is overboard, and I'm also annoyed with the show portraying Derek as a Neanderthal -- to the point of putting "Neanderthal" in his dialogue. Every single thing he does annoys Ashley, which makes me wonder what she ever saw in him. I want him away from her. -- Seeing Derek and Ashley in that bed was hilarious. It looks like a single, not something for two grown adults. -- Ashley and Andre are still a no for me -- a big no. I see no reason why he'd be infatuated with her. None. At least Andre got a smile from her, which she didn't have for Derek, even when he wanted them to get a bigger place. Derek, please dodge the bullet.
    •   I LOVED Hennig’s Stephanie. AK is Stephanie in name only. Stephanie was never boring to me.
    • July 2012, Abe organized a gala that was an autism fundraiser in Lexie's honor.  This was the huge event everyone was attending (except Gabi and Melanie in the tunnels).. -- when the gas explosion occurred and the building collapsed.  The "Daysaster" cliffhanger before the Olympics break.
    • I think maybe Andre is subconsciously looking for a caretaker/nurturer in his life to replace his parents. That would explain his attraction to both Ashley (nurse) and Dani (older woman/his aunt's sister). I don't see any chemistry between Ashley and Andre though. In fact Andre and Derek had more chemistry in the pasta night episode than either of them have ever had with Ashley.
    • My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
    • a) you would not be sorry, but  b) full episodes from the first half of '89 are hard to find. 
    • Ya see..., that's why I can't watch this show on my own!

      I'm ripping it for being dumb, meanwhile half the episode goes over my head.  Hello pot, I'm kettle.
    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
    • I am fine with no one mentioning Bob-ette again.  It's frustrating not ever knowing what was up with him truly or why we wasted so much time on that to never get a conclusion.  I am willing to forget it though. Abe being on the board makes more sense to me because of Lexie and Theo.  I think there was a wing dedicated to Autism research or treatment years ago possibly named after Theo and Lexie was the chief of staff at some points and worked there for years.  I could see Abe having interest in the hospital still.
    • TR eventually came to be a nickname for Theresa Regina, the name her kidnappers gave her. Estelle never referred to her as Rebecca, though, always Theresa. I guess that was what TR wanted.    TR went to Switzerland. Jane returned for the last week.  After Ryder died, TR never had a love interest. I assume they gave up. I wouldn’t have dropped John Loprieno as Danny but he got squeezed out by Quinn, really. A TR/Evie/Jerry triangle might’ve worked.    David Forsyth and Jackie Schultz had good chemistry. I liked Luann though. I think Sharon Gabet would’ve been a more interesting recast, and she might’ve kept Joe Lambie on as Lloyd.    But Suzi and Wendy were gone, and Liza was talking about leaving town to join Gary in Africa, so before the cancellation, I do believe Liza was getting phased out.  Sunny and Patti and Evie were set up as heroines, and it was a small show.
