Halloween 2007

So, we are not talking about just any remake here. We are talking about the remake of one of my favorite movies of ALL time! I have loved Halloween since I first saw it when I was a little boy.
Let me first say that in general, I dislike remakes! I especially dislike remakes of movies that hold a special place in my heart. There have been a lot of remakes in the past couple of years, for example The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, and The Hills Have Eyes. They were all ok movies, but none except for maybe the last was as good as the original(the original Hills Have Eyes kinda sucked.)
When I heard they were remaking Halloween, I was upset. When I found out Rob Zombie was doing it, I was really upset. Not that I have anything against him (I loved House of 1000 Corpses!), but it is sacred to me, and I did not want anyone to fuck it up. It would not be quite as bad as Uwe Boll remaking the original Star Wars Trilogy, but almost as unwelcome!
I have to say PERHAPS I am wrong. After viewing the trailer, I am kinda excited about seeing it. It will not be as good as the original, but maybe if I go in not comparing it, I will enjoy it. Watch the trailer and let me know what you think.

News

So this is not going to be so much a real post as a quick message to let everyone know I am doing ok. Shit sucks right now. A lot of longs days, trips to Eldon, headaches, and built up tension. Nonetheless, I am doing ok. It has been nice to see my stepbrother Kris, and I can tell Tony has been happy when we are all together.
I have had some complaints because I have not been in contact with everyone. People are hurt that I am talking to some people and not them. Well, all I can say is you can get over it. I am being selfish right now. I am taking as much me time as I can get (which is about none), and trying to avoid the drama at all costs. It does not mean I am mad at you, or I hate you, it means you were not there for me when I went through this with my Grandma, and I don't need you now. I have a lot of friends, and a few very good friends, a rare couple of which are like my family, and I have been out of contact with most of them. They all know I still love them. They don't need to be told. They know shit sucks right now, and I know they are there when I need them. So rest assured, I will not waste my time or energy blowing you right now. Sorry.
