Uncle June is the best.Yep! I’d say 7 out of 10 just for the nostalgia quotes (like Uncle Jew dropping the “Never had the makings of a varsity athlete”)

Filmed part of it on my street here in Calif when I was a teen. We lived on a rural road that looked like it could be Georgia.Smokey and the Bandit last night… a 10 a muther trucking 10 I a say!
Me and my fiance refer to Kupp as Hans from the Burbs cause he looks like him so much with that beard.Halloween Kills…free on Peacock if you have Xfinity.
6 outta 10 same old story line but its close to Halloween so worth the watch.
Watching The Burbs. One of Tom Hanks most over looked movies
Lol, I never noticed till now.Me and my fiance refer to Kupp as Hans from the Burbs cause he looks like him so much with that beard.
Curious, what do you rank as #2?Halloween Kills. 8/10
There were a few cringe-worthy little bits of dialogue, but overall the movie was fucking awesome. Having John Carpenter back doing the score is HUGE in creating that mood. He and his son Cody are amazing. The flashbacks to the 1978 movie were surprisingly well-done. I was thoroughly impressed. Seeing a return of Dr. Loomis made my heart happy (RIP Donald Pleasance). I thought the sheer brutality and the overall mood/vibe they created was right on point. Damn good Halloween movie, probably my 3rd favorite in the franchise.

Either the original Halloween II . Or the new one that started this chapter that came out a couple years ago ?Curious, what do you rank as #2?
Man, that's tough. I rank Halloween1&II together as my #1. I guess my top 3 would be: Halloween1&2, Halloween Kills, and H6. Yes, I know I'm in the minority on H6. The storyline is dumb, but Michael is brutal, the mask is cool, and I thought they captured the Halloween vibe pretty well. Halloween Kills might actually be my #2. I really loved it despite some of its flaws. I've watched it twice already.Curious, what do you rank as #2?
Technically Halloween 1978 started this timeline since they made 2018 a direct sequel, even retconning H2 because of the brother/sister storyline. I do really like the H2018, and this Halloween timeline in general. There might be a little TOO much fan-service, but the fact that John Carpenter is on board tells me all I need to know. They did a great job with the story. The fucking flashback scenes in KILLS are AMAZING.Either the original Halloween II . Or the new one that started this chapter that came out a couple years ago ?
Polarizing for sure, I liked it a lot.Joker 2/10
From an artistic standpoint it might be good, but it wasn't enjoyable to watch. There was nothing to like about the movie regardless of the quality of storytelling, cinematography, or acting.
It wasn't the material or message. It was just that it wasn't enjoyable material. There was nothing fun or happy, no stand up and cheer moments, no one to root for. It was misery and unhappiness the whole way through.Polarizing for sure, I liked it a lot.
I could see it grading on you if you were expecting something different.
Loved how it paid tribute to Scorsese's King of Comedy another really good film with a similar tone.
I get it that's why we have so many genres. I personally can't watch most of Marvel or DC stuff that just rehashes the same formula.It wasn't the material or message.

Different strokes for different folks, right? I watch movies to be entertained. I don't always want to turn my brain off, but I do want to have something to enjoy.I get it that's why we have so many genres. I personally can't watch most of Marvel or DC stuff that just rehashes the same formula.
We have to watch what entertains us. Go Rams, looking good so far
I get you. I don't like dreary movies or movies that make you sad or just feel uncomfortable, etc... I'd rather be entertained. Have a feel good happy ending.It wasn't the material or message.

What Dreams May Come. Yeah, that's it exactly. I don't get the desire to watch something super depressing or that makes you feel awful. The Butterfly Effect was the same way for me.

That film with Robin Williams where his wife gets hit by a car and he goes into depression and goes to he'll and gets her to remember their love was depressing. My girlfriend at the ti.e loved it. I could barely get through it. I think she related because she was bipolar and often more depressed than up. I related because I made the mistake of moving in with her and had my fill of misery by then. I have no interest in The Joker.
