The Problem with Michael Myers

[Dave]

Ok, Halloween is a good series. Well, 3-6 was kind of crap, but for the most part the movies are good. I like the style Myers has with being in a room about 10 feet from you as you walk by and don't even see him. Usually they don't play any sound effects or music at the time that they show him, and I like that much better than some kind of loud effect at the time.

But, the problem with Myers is that they have never explained why he can survive EVERYTHING. He is a guy who is a lunatic. We get that much so far, but why does that mean that he can suddenly survive shotgun blasts (his clothes never rip either, did you notice?), throw human beings far distances, and other odd things he does. Jason, Freddy, Candyman, Pinhead....they've all been explained.

Jason: Living Dead with regenerative ability
Freddy: Possessed by Demons
Candyman: He's basically a ghost
Pinhead: Dur.
Michael Myers: Input Text Here

They tried to answer it in part 6, but that didn't hold water and the movie wasn't that great. I'd like to see some explination of why he can do the stuff he can do.

Also, the one handed pull up thing is getting old already. Once was great!....twice was like they couldn't think of anything else to do. I'd like to know where his legs go when he does the pull up though. Wouldn't they be dangling down below him?

Any, blah.

MICHAEL MYERS IS POSESSED JUST LIKE FREDDY.

IT'S CALLED THE CURSE OF THE THORN WHICH IS A CONSTALATION IN THE SKY THAT SHOWS UP ON HALLOWEEN AND I'M NOT TO UPDATED ON THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS (PART 6) HAVE'NT SEEN IT IN AWHILE BUT THE SOMETHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE CURSE MAKES HIM GO AFTER HIS FAMILY. THAT'S WHY HE CAN SURVIVE EVERYTHING CAUSE HE'S POSESSED THAT SHOULD ALSO EXPLAIN THE SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH YOU ASKED ABOUT. HE'S NOT JUST A ''LUNATIC'' HE'S BASICALLY A DEMON. AND IF YOU WATCH THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS AND REALLY PAY ATTENTION YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND IT CAUSE IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER. MYERS HAS BEEN EXPLAINED YOU JUST DID'NT UNDERSTAND IT THAT'S ALL.

CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE BOX IS ALL ABOUT?

First, that movie is treated like Friday the 13th part 8: like it never happened. I saw that movie. I have it on tape, I went to the theater and saw it, and it comes on Starz about ever other night now. I've seen it.

Michael Myers has always been based around the idea that he is a lunatic. The Thorn thing wasn't brought up until part 5, and never discussed until part 6. From what they have said, they talked about a child being selected to be sacrificed by didn't talk about him being possessed, and if so never meantioned what he was possessed by. A druid curse doesn't mean you live forever unless it states that you live forever. H20 and Resurrection (Homecoming) acted as if 3-6 never happened, so if that is the case, anything from part 6 can not be considered in an explination for Myers.

The box is used as a gateway. It is used kind of like a Quija board would but it only calls them. Have you seen part 4? That is Bloodline. If you haven't check that one out. They explain the point of the box in that one, but in part 2 they explain what happened to the guy that became Pinhead. He played with the box and was taken just like Frank and the others, but he was turned into a Cenobite. I'm not sure why he is the leader though.

I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING BUT YOU GOTTA REALIZE THAT AFTER THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS H2O AND RESURRECTION ARE COMMERCIAL MOVIES AKKAD IS'NT WORRING ABOUT MAKING A HORROR MOVIE HE'S WORRING ABOUT MAKING MONEY.

LOOK AT THE FACTS ALL GOOD SLASHER MOVIES CONSIST OF:

A CAST OF UNKNOWN ACTORS WHO'S ONLY PURPOSE IS TO GET HACKED UP AND ONE OR TWO B RATED ACTORS TO CARRY THE MOVIE.

STUPID TEENAGERS.

ONE OR TWO HOT SHOT ASSHOLES WHO THINK THEY'RE GODS GIFT TO WOMEN WHO EVERYBODY LOVES TO SEE GET KILLED.

SOME LITTLE KID WHO NOBODY LISTENS TO UNTIL THEY HAVE A KNIFE IN THIER THROAT.

CHEESY SPECIAL EFFECTS

A GOOD DIRECTOR MAKING UP FOR A WEAK SCRIPT

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST A RUTHLESS AND RELENTLESS KILLER.

H20 HAS A CAST FULL OF VERY WELL KNOWN ACTORS(JOSH HARTNETT-THE CUTE CHICK FROM DAWSON'S CREEK-JAMIE LEE CURTIS-LL COOL J) THEY DID'NT SPEND MONEY ON A GOOD DIRECTOR TO MAKE UP FOR WHAT WAS A WEAK SCRIPT.

RESSUECTION ALSO HAD A BIG CAST OF PEOPLE AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BUSTA RHYMES BEAT THE HELL OUTTA MICHAEL MYERS AND THAT'S AFTER HE WALKED UP TO HIM AND GOT PUNKED I MEAN SERIOULY THOSE LAST TWO WERE JUST MONEY MAKERS THEY WERE'NT WORRING ABOUT STICKING TO THE STORY THEY WERE TRING TO MAKE MONEY I'M SURE THAT NEXT YEAR WILL BE NO DIFFERENT WHEN THE 9TH ONE COMES OUT.

But, that still doesn't affect what I said. The reasons for making the movies don't matter. Ever since part 8 of Friday the 13th, they have acted like the one before each sequel never happened. That is why I don't go with the theory they gave in part 9.

Josh Harrnet wasn't well known at the time of that movie by the way. H2O had a bette script than part 5 did actually. I just finished watchng 5 about a half an hour ago (for probably the 10th time), and the story for it and 4 sucked. 6 had problems in it as well, but mostly because of the screwy backstory they give to Michael. They need to stick with one idea. That is the only problem I've ever had with the series. They keep screwing with his backstory.

Oh, and Donald Pleasance was a big name from start to finish. That and I had no idea who that girl from Dawsons Creek was because I've never seen the show. It occured to me one day when I read something about the movie though.

Ok, I think both of us will agree that we don't agree with you. Thank you for giving us some middle ground lol.

Now...explain why he sucks.

[Wicked Lady]

He is so incredably BORING!!!! ANY of the other classic killers could blow him away like a feather!!! "and I'm actualy giving Jason some credit here, when his movies are also boring" Plus we really nead Michael Myers anyway, Jason is basicaly the same only with a MUCH better story line!
