Paul Dano was believable. John Cusack... not so much.

6/10

Anyone seen that new Jonah Hill movie "Mid-90's" or whatever? I'm curious how it is. I have a lot of faith in A24 movies but the trailers haven't really knocked my socks off.

I watched the Rob Zombie remake last night. I liked it a lot.

I think it would have benefitted Michael's character to have him spare Danny Trejo's life, making it that he really only wanted to hurt bad people, and Danny was good to him. Though, being a security guard, Trejo did keep Michael from his little sister, so I can see why they had him kill Trejo.

Same with Michael's counselor dude.

That would have been awful. He's Michael Myers not Frankenstein.

It would have allowed more people to empathize with him. His goal was to protect and make a better life for his defenseless baby sister. He obviously went about it the wrong way b/c he's f*cked in the head, but it would have made him more relatable to the audience.

Making him a dime-a-dozen psycho adds nothing to the genre.

Making him Frankenstein while still being Michael Myers would have been the most cloying PG-13 bull****.

Does it really make sense to call the OG unstoppable force of evil a dime-a-dozen?

I would generally agree for more complexity but I don't think that adding complexity in that manner would suit Myers at all.
