First things first, stop with the whole kids BS. I'm not some 13 year old kid who thinks Saw is the most original movie of all time. You're a Super Mod, act like it. I'm sure you're a much better debater than to bring up the whole age BS.

First off, saying it's the number one movie ever on labour day weekend isn't much of a record. It opened up to 31 million. For a holiday weekend, that's nothing. Let's see what it beat that weekend. The Transporter 2 and Balls of Fury. Whoopie.

Okay fine, beating those two movies wasn't the biggest of deals. However, the point I was getting at is that it was a huge hit in terms of bringing money in. Beating out every other film on Labour Day weekend and being the second highest profited Halloween film is a huge deal. So regardless of whether someone likes the film or not, the numbers are there to prove it was a success.

Have you seen the original Halloween? That was a classic movie my friend. And don't get me started on Halloween Resurrection. A bunch of kids in the former house of Michael Myers with web cams?

Heh, for over a decade I have been obsessed with the Halloween series. I owned 3 different copies of the original on VHS and it was the first movie I bought on DVD and since then I have bought another copy on DVD. I've bought every movie on VHS and eventually DVD. Found copies of the H6 Producer's Cut, bought the figures, paid someone a few bucks to have their Halloween pin that was on their backpack, I own several posters of the films including a RZ theater one and I admin at a Halloween movies message board that as been around since 2001. Hell, at this moment I'm even wearing a John Carpenter's Halloween T-shirt. So believe me, I know my shit about the original and the series. But yes, the original was a classic and Resurrection was terrible (Once again, thanks Rick Rosenthal). Even how terrible Resurrection was, I went to see it in the theater and I bought the soundtrack.

They don't make horror movies like they used to. I'd rather watch a horror movie made in the 70's, or 80's than the crap they shell out now. It has much more of a creepy factor.

Trust me, you're preaching to the choir as far as horror films not being as good as the grand age of the 60's and 70's. It's quite sad when the best recent horror films are either remakes (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) or rip offs (Saw). The problem with current films is that they don't have the balls to do anything serious without the worry the MPAA will require them to make severe edits or some parent group will condemn it. Just the other day, I read over at Fangoria.com that they were planning on remaking I Spit on Your Grave. Now here's my question, why the hell would you remake the film when you know that there's no way you can show three increasingly disgusting raping? You're either having to settle to let it be rated NC-17 (if even that) or have to make such huge changes that would ruin the whole intensity of the film.

Case in point: the ORIGINAL Amityville Horror vs. the remade version with Van Wilder. Give me a break.

James Brolin or Ryan Reynolds, either way it was terrible. With the exception of Amityville 2, the entire series has been abysmal.
