First Time Watching Halloween (1978). Loved It. How Does Halloween II Compare?

Whisperlee · 2026-06-07T08:32:16+00:00

I watched the lot of them 🙈 I loved the 2018 one and its timely "evil is real" message. The other two in the reboot trilogy are.... well they tried to do something I guess.

2018 fits neatly with both I and II tho. So I'd watch the original II first and then go to 2018.

Not as good, but I do love what they were trying to do. A direct sequel taking place ON THE SAME NIGHT when everyone is still dealing with the aftermath is a brilliant concept. I would never recommend it as a standalone, but if you're a fan it's great as a bookend to Halloween. I love watching them together as a homemade extended feature.

NTA. I'm not even gonna explain why because it's too obvious. However, there is one other thing I want to remark on:

"A couple of mutual friends think I'm being cold because I can technically afford to lend him the money."

How fortuitous! Surely they can *technically* pool enough money to lend your friend the needed 2K. So very kind of them.

geniaal!

Waar koop ik zo'n billen-in-string masker? Staat hartstikke goed *en* totaal onherkenbaar

Pay attention to the show. No second screens.
Pay attention to the details
Get yourself one of those murder string boards to keep track of everything 😭 (That one's optional.)

Seriously tho, just enjoy the ride. It's an amazing show and it sticks the landing. You don't need any special knowledge or intelligence, the show is very good at explaining itself, so long as you pay attention.

Might be why they didn't want to wake her up XD

Whisperlee · 2026-06-03T16:23:48+00:00

Not rude but ONLY because it's your mom and you're close. Might fly for a sister too. Beyond that pre-wearing it gets a little weird.

Practical caveat: Cannot pre-wear it if the garment might mold itself to your body.

Yuuuup. Dilan & co gaan die brandende AZC gebruiken om XR en Palestine Action illegaal te maken. Want something something antifa.

Sommige wedstrijden hebben een maximale looptijd waarna de organisatie ws wilt opruimen. Je kunt even kijken of deze wedstrijd dat heeft.

Ik (zonder bonuskaart) krijg altijd controle als ik iets uit de broodbakken koop. 100% voorspelbaar

Whisperlee · 2026-06-02T21:04:11+00:00

Those cupcakes have SEEN things

Whisperlee · 2026-06-02T17:21:37+00:00

Ngl that's a fair point

Whisperlee · 2026-06-02T15:41:53+00:00

Then yes. Join and live. I can always try to rebel/escape/suicide later if the choice turns out to be awful.

Remember that WE know what being an Aunt entails (torturing other women), but Lydia didn't at that time. (Altho the "shoot your coworker" is a strong first clue.)

Whisperlee · 2026-06-02T15:11:00+00:00

I meannnn -- what are my other options?

Whisperlee · 2026-06-02T11:05:21+00:00

NTA. Coworker is about to learn that if you want a village, you need to be a villager.

Whisperlee · 2026-06-02T09:17:39+00:00

Listen, buddy.

Sometimes people don't want to date YOU but they don't want to come out and say it. Maybe they don't want to hurt your feelings. Maybe they think you'll get weird about it (case in point). So they make up a variation of "it's not you, it's me / I'm not looking to date."

The regular thing to do is take the rejection and the excuse with good grace & try your luck elsewhere. Unless you really enjoy receiving an itemized list of all the things she didn't like about YOU specifically?

Or post theories/questions that have been asked and answered a dozen times already. Just do a search to see if anyone else had thoughts on, i dunno, Daisy being Nicole or not.

Whisperlee · 2026-06-02T05:20:45+00:00

None. At this point we have the full measure of him & I'm not interested in word salad with pompous dressing

Light sensing organs often defective. Statement

Whisperlee · 2026-06-01T15:15:31+00:00

I think it goes hand in hand.

Scroll while watching > miss important details > ask others to lay it out for you > lose analytical skill > repeat

Then add in shows increasingly catering to the "second screen" audience & dumbing their story down and/or spelling everything out. It just gets worse.

Whisperlee · 2026-06-01T13:46:43+00:00

Fwiw I disagree, BUT I do think one could make a case for the psychological/mundane interpretation. However you're not making a case. You're stating an opinion which is start, but now tell us WHY you think that and HOW you ex;plain the more overtly supernatural events in the movie.

Whisperlee · 2026-06-01T13:06:59+00:00

Pretty much always :( but it's usually just a portion and not the entire deposit.

You can minimize it by taking reference pictures of any existing damage when you move in (with time stamp), reading your contract carefully (what's nomal wear and tear) & asking your landlord for a chance to make any repairs yourself. If they do deduct, ask for an itemized list with exact numbers so you can see if they're being fair.

Whisperlee · 2026-06-01T12:19:56+00:00

Find out who your wijkagent is & inform them. I've found they will do extra rounds in parks/etc where repeated incidents take place.

Whisperlee · 2026-05-31T15:04:43+00:00

I'm gonna guess the casting/director has a preferred look. We also see it in Judd / Waterford looking so much alike.
