First post. And it's in the defense of Myers :D

I guess if you find the movies boring, it's just best not to watch them. I have enjoyed every entry in the series (yes EVERY one). Sure some have problems, but most series do - especially one of this length.

I don't want Carpenter to direct them - it's been a long while since Carpenter made a film I care about. Some of his work is great, but films like Ghosts of Mars just make him look washed up.

So I'd go with younger guys. My only regret with the Myers films is that they lack gore. A gorier Myers would be appreciated.

Welcome. I appreciate the defense. ;)

This is true. The time they did that the least was in 8, where they did just enough to kill JLC, and the rest they just treated Michael like some STV killer. It's almost like they took a script someone wrote for a generic slasher flick, changed some names to ones that would fit Halloween, and tacked on the cold opening and passed it off as the next part of the series. So it's no wonder it's the worst of the series (not counting 3)

I didn't see it that way. After Myers killed Laura, what would he do next? Easy, he'd go home. Except when he gets there, his home has been invaded by a reality show. It's topical, makes perfect sense to me, and was executed quite well. Again, a lack of gore, and that idiot Busta, seemed about to sink it - but further viewings have allowed me to enjoy what I saw.

they could have stuck anybody in that role. If they tacked on the cold opening (like I said it seemed like they did) then yeah, that would be what it would seem like. But the main story of the movie was just him killing people in his house. Change his name and mask and you wouldn't even know it was a Halloween movie. The other Halloween movies at least had other things in common.

And as for that idiot Bustah; watch Narc. Specifically the end where Ray Liotta is a total badass and makes Bustah cry.

Personally I think that they should bring back every character that has been left alive from theprevious films and have them kick Michael's ass
