Halloween Hound Her story makes her sound like she went off the deep end here. I mean, she DOES realize that Laurie Strode is a fictional character, right? I mean, Bob was killed in the 1978 version, should men start wearing name tags that read “we are all Bob”? Her demeanor was okay in this interview. “I sell yogurt that makes you shit” SMH. I’m far from prudish, but I found her recent interview with Fox about Halloween to be laden with gratuitous F-bombs and almost a stubborn nature towards some of the questions that were asked. She almost seemed like she was trying to be too badass and it just didn’t take. This seemed like a desperate feminist rant. Umm, it’s a movie!

Not only was she smart enough to create a well-rounded career, but she successfully carved her own path out from under both of her famous parents. Was really glad to see her back in the 2018 movie, she was just as awesome as ever.

@sakuraitonen5886 Жыл бұрын

What are you even talking about? She has shared this many times. She didn't get pidgeon holed after Halloween II (1981), because she DIDN'T do horror movies. After a lenghty break, she came back to horror in Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later (1998) and Halloween: Resurrection (2002). Then, of course again in Scream Queens and finally in this current trilogy, which launched back in 2018. Over the latter years, she did An Acceptable Loss (2018), Knives Out (2019), Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) and the upcoming Borderlands movie adaption. So no, she didn't get pidgeon holed. 🙂

You're supposed to see this new movie as the only sequel to the original. While watching this movie you have to forget parts 2- whatever ever existed. Michael attacked her in 1978, was put in a mental institution and here she is now. We are getting to see what happened to her because of that one night.

Brother/sister story made since, this story does not make since in this film. Original Halloween ll is way better. People like to knock on the h2 film cause it was mostly in a hospital and it was empty. I've been treated in small town hospital in Indiana and it reminded me of it , how quiet and dark it was at night.

American turkey burger. I as a Halloween fan. Have always felt that the brother sister story line added motive he's not supposed to have a motive he's evil incarnate he kills without Rhyme or Reason that's what this movie does and he is so much more terrifying because in the first one he didn't have a reason for killing

“Here are strong women coming to the front taking their rightful place in the storytelling” Didn’t all the female characters she mentioned exist since the 1970s and have been beloved by male and female genre fiction fans for decades? Isn’t the horror genre (and slasher subgenre especially) mostly male fans cheering on female leads? Enough nonsense. When you look at the real numbers and stats, things in America are way more equal than half of the media presents. Enough of the condescending actors talking AT me.

@zachengel196 5 жыл бұрын

I just fought with a group of guys last night about them being sick of female leads, so no, its not "men cheering on female characters". Women only make up like, 40-something percent of protagonists in horror which is the biggest number of any genre.

@CarloisBuriedAlive 5 жыл бұрын

Zach Engel and roughly 42% of horror audiences are women, so 40ish% doesn't sound insane or inaccurate to reflect viewer tastes. When you look at the protagonists of most horror icons like Michael, Freddy, Jason, etc., the majority of them are female characters that leave lasting impressions. You are also giving anecdotal evidence based on your shitty friends, who are surely sick of these kinds of discussions about "tough chick" roles that are often one-dimensional and only exist to be political instead of high quality. You've been indoctrinated to mindlessly defend this great oppression that only exists in anecdotal person to person exchanges in 2018, unless you think the horror audience is full of sexists?
