  1. Personally I can't stand Sam Worthington, his accent is horrible. It's like he rides a rollercoaster from American back to Australian in each sentence, other Aussie actors can do it like Hugh Jackman and, uh, Russell Crowe and etc etc. It's sad that he's keeping American actors out of work to go stink up the dialogue.

    There's an illegal immigration joke in there somewhere

  2. So I was watching Grown Ups until Maya Rudolph showed her face in it, so I had to turn it off. Watched the first Hostel again a couple nights ago. Love that movie. I've never seen Gladiator, so my dad made me watch it last night. It was an amazing movie. The Descendants was so-so. I'd wait for it to be released on video. Looking forward to Ghost Protocol. Can't wait for The Devil Inside.

    Now I know why you hate Maya Rudolph: you have a horrible taste in movies

  3. Bad guess, lol. I was ticked off at first because of the stereotypical cast but it's a good one if you, like me, enjoyed the first. Jon will be along soon to tell you the foreign film it was based on is better, lol.

    [REC] was better

    Thats because Jon is a film hipster, he probably hated Roger Ebert before it was cool to hate Roger Ebert.

    I actually like Roger Ebert.

  4. I think I would like it better as a stand alone horror film, but it's just not what Halloween is supposed to be in my opinion. The thing that made Michael scary originally was that we had no background knowledge of him and had no clue what this Shape was and why it was doing what it was doing. And also, that he was a normal sized human being that just wouldn't stop getting up no matter what. I think giving us a look at Michael's past and making him a 7' tall monster sort of took away from what Michael Myers is supposed to be and what made him scary in the first place.......That's not to say Zombie's view wasn't interesting though. Rob Zombie's H2 on the other hand was flat out atrocious haha. If you haven't seen it then don't haha.

    This is why the original Halloween was better than Zombie's version. Nobody could top John Carpenter in his prime.

    Though I do like Zombie as a director and wouldn't mind seeing him trying to make something other than horror.
