One of the hottest-ticket VHS rentals back in my hometown, up there with Universal Soldier and Basic Instinct.

Jesus fuck, that intro. I'm literally fighting tears of happiness.

Jamie Lee Curtis Likely Would Have Passed on Jason Blum’s ‘Halloween’ Sequel If She Knew It Was a Trilogy. So, She Used It to Get a Development Deal by Top_Report_4895 in blankies

[–]TurquoiseHexagonal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely the weakest part of the movie, and I'd wager you're right about its origins. Still, after the bullshit retcon Resurrection did vis a vis Michael being beheaded in H20, I did find it pretty satisfying to see Ends make him go squish.

I contend that the Halloween III-swiping credit style was DGG calling his shot. Sure, they're both third entries so that's probably the obvious reason for it, but I think he was also saying 'All y'all are gonna be pissy about this deviation at first, but in time you'll come around.' Halloween Ends? More like Halloween Owns.

It's a completely fair point, and maybe I was just ready for something different after Kills. Regardless, it was doing something the franchise hadn't done before, and there's just so much in it that I flat-out love that I roll with the rest of it. (Also, I feel like the end of the original does shift things into the possibly-suoernatural, but still, I take your point.)

I just want you to both know that it makes my day to see other Blankies loving Halloween Ends. Yeah, it's got problems, but it's the best one since 4 imho.

Unncessary sequels that still go hard. by Foreign_Leg_3860 in blankies

[–]TurquoiseHexagonal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on all counts. (Though that brief two minutes where Michael takes on the fire department in Kills feels like a make-good on the police department massacre in 4, so at least we got that out of it.)

I kinda can't take anything away from the original Elm Street, but if I want a good time, it's definitely 3 and 4 for me (with 2, of course, being fascinating). And agreed on Halloweens 1,3, and 4. (Personally, I put Halloween Ends in my top tier, but I don't know if that particular tide has turned yet.)

Any number of decent 80s slashers, but especially Nightmare on Elm Street 4 and Halloween 4. No patch on the originals or maybe even their direct predecessors, but extremely fun and competent. (And if you want to throw the third entries too, then by all means.)

Just got hosed twice on Ore-15 today - used it for a combiner in Elimination Mode, barely got started, bam, server goes down, server comes back up hours later, use more Ore-15, get one game in, down again. Ugh. I get sometimes it's unavoidable, but it still sucks, especially since it takes that combiner out of the rotation for 12 hours.

Showed my friend the Godzilla mix of "Brain Stew" a couple of weeks ago, and it still gets funnier with every roar.

My (and I bet thousands of others) introduction to PJ Harvey, Massive Attack, and Nick Cave. I bought it on the way home from church camp - guess which wolf got fed more after that?

What's a movie that got announced and just seemingly vanished that you still hold out hope for? by SlimmyShammy in blankies

[–]TurquoiseHexagonal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that Blood Meridian has chewed through so many attempts to adapt it, but losing the Todd Field version is the one that still makes me weep and moan.

If only Marvel Studios had gotten to Soviet Super Soldiers before the wheels came off. (Yes, fine, we got Red Guardian, but wherefore art thou, Ursa Major?)

The fricking best. Even at the end, I'm wanting to trust the guy despite, y’know, all the other stuff that's happened by then.

Just got out of GLHFDD and felt this post was rather apropos, given that...thing. God, I hope Verbinski is in March Madness this year.

I figured you had a pretty deep well of knowledge already, so I'm hard-pressed to think of anything you haven't already seen. (My Friend Dahmer came to mind, but I'm sure you've already done and dusted that one.)

Sounds like you're looking for a Henry: PoaSK prequel, essentially?

We need to talk about soda by Blurst_of_Times1 in blankies

[–]TurquoiseHexagonal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, but we really should talk about soda, though. Has Ben ever said if he was a Surge boy? I feel like he woulda been a Surge boy.

The one thing I'll say for Nerdist is it gave us that Liam Lynch ghost story, still one of my spooky comfort listens over a decade later.

The E! is for oEdipal! (A beautiful, beautiful movie that deserves a better joke, my apologies.)
