Mrs.
Silver is all excited because she "found and recorded Halloween"
... just like every year.
I
understand it's a classic and it's success basically turned a whole
film genre up to 11...
But
I really don't think it's very good.
So
she gets excited and I kind of watch it as a social exercise.
[2:11
PM] Mr. Blue:
i
think it's one of those movies that loses its luster because it's
been copied and parodied so much
[2:12
PM] Mr. Brown:
yep
also
you watch anything enough it loses something
when
you can count down till somebody dies it's no longer fun
[2:13
PM]
(Mrs.
Silver) "Let's watch 2! It picks up RIGHT where the other
left off!"
"Yaaaay..."
[2:13
PM] Mr. Brown:
“And
death by hammer in 5 4 3 2 1” *Thud*
[2:13
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah
2 sucks
no
idea why they made it the way they did
[2:14
PM]
Well...because
of pressure to try to score another hit versus the proposed series
theme
[2:14
PM] Mr. Blue:
The
whole thing is in a drab and almost abandoned 70s hospital
It
might as well be a play
[2:15
PM]
See...it
was supposed to be a mega anthology
A
"Halloween" series
So
1...and 3... were that.
But
they put 2 in the middle so now we have Meyers and no proper new
stories
[2:16
PM] Mr. Blue:
Even
if they were pressured to do a sequel... set it the next year, not an
hour after the first one
And
in 1 place
[1:58
PM] Mr. Brown:
Michael
Myers Masks LOL
He
said get Michael Myers masks
“I
got Michael Myers”
“No,
'Halloween' masks”
“Yes,
Halloween masks”
[1:59
PM]
...?
[1:59
PM] Mr. Brown:
[1:59
PM] Mr. Blue:
oh
yeah lol
[1:59
PM] Mr. Brown:
that
was very funny
[2:00
PM] Mr. Blue:
They're
robbing banks and the ringleader tells them to get "Mike Myers
masks" so they get Austin Powers masks
[2:00
PM]
heh
[2:00
PM] Mr. Brown:
well,
the idiot gets them
[2:02
PM]
One
of my lingering memories from Penn State was someone had taped up a
newsletter interview with Myers.
Question:
"What's it like sharing a name with a famous movie serial
killer? Are you anything alike?"
"It's
kind of strange, yes. But the only similarity between us is
that we both go around wearing a mask of human skin."
[2:03
PM] Mr. Brown:
Which
is wrong lol
cause
he wore a Shatner mask
[2:06
PM]
(News
talking head) "A madman breaks into costume store and steals a
Shatner mask. Police are now wondering if there is a connection
with an art supply store where a madman stole small bottle of
blue-gray paint and a brush."
[2:07
PM] Mr. Brown:
Somebody
should parody Shatner running into Michael
do
the whole double take
[2:16
PM]
'course
that mask on that head...looks nothing at all like Shatner
Maybe
Dredged-Out-Of-The-East-River Shatner
[2:18
PM] Mr. Blue:
musta
been in the costume shop for a while
maybe
since TOS was cancelled
bleached
from being in the window display
[2:22
PM] Mr. Brown:
[2:22
PM]
Michael
Myers.
An
animal intelligence and a drive to kill.
Never
spoke a word in his life.
An
idiot's fixation on masks, knives, and nubile targets...
...
Obeyed
traffic laws and got directions home...
...
I
mean...he'd been incarcerated since he was 6
[2:29
PM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe
learned how to drive from watching while he was being transported
around
How
he found his old hometown?
...
maybe by smell?
[2:29
PM]
(hulking
figure enters gas station...stares at old man behind counter...)
"Why, you look like a feller headed to Haddenfield Illinois,
son. I gotta map right here. Lean on in and I'll set ya
right."
[2:30
PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
[Myers
walks into gas station] “Yes hello! Do you sell James
T. Kirk Halloween masks and mechanic jumpsuits?"
[2:34
PM]
"What I'm
really looking for is something that says auto-mechanic/space hero/undead
maniac."
(Gas
station attendant) "Hmm... Ya want chevrons or metallic
sparkle?"
"Nah...I
kind of was wanting working-man blue, and more of a recognizable
image...like a Flash Gordon or the commander from Space 1999."
(looks
among the sundries behind the counter) "Spock?"
"Nnnno...
The ears would detract. If it's an alien it loses that whole 'worst
monsters are humans' feel."
"How
about Kirk?"
"I
like it! Any corpse paint?"
"Ya want green,
gray or glow in the dark?"
"Let's
see the gray. (admires in mirror, holding up swatch) Excellent! Oh, and
fill er up, please: Beige station wagon with the insane asylum seal
on the door."
"You betcha!"
They
show where he got the jumpsuit? I keep thinking I remember a
ransacked mechanic's truck.
[2:41
PM] Mr. Blue:
“Returning
home to Haddonfield, Michael kills a mechanic for his uniform and
steals a white mask from a local store.”
[2:41
PM]
ah
(3
months earlier)
"Honey, after the accident, I decided to
invest in this for you."
"New
coveralls? I've got coveralls, Sweetie. What's the big deal?"
"These
are bullet and sheer proof. It even has built-in support in
case you fall again."
“Awwww.
You're the greatest.”
(Halloween
night, 3 months later)
(Dr.
Loomis) "I shot him six times! I shot him in the heart and he
fell from the balcony! I shot him SIX TIMES!!!"
(Michael,
hiding in the neighbor's bushes, rubbing chest and marveling at the
height of the fall) "HOLY SHIT! He shot me like SIX
TIMES!"
[2:48
PM] Mr. Blue:
Always
a lucky thing they happen to run into someone like that first
Like
the T800 always meeting street punks or bikers when he first gets
transported naked
[2:56
PM]
Yup
Despite
my drag queen gag of like a month ago, I think in Terminator 3 they
actually had him scanning women and registering "invalid gender"
[2:23
PM] Mr. Brown:
So
was watching some of my fav anime: Dragonball Super
The
main character gained a form called Ultra Instinct
Basically
he gains a power that lets his body automatically adapt to everything
when
in that state
I
think it would be cool to have that ability
[2:29
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
don't get it
[2:32
PM]
I
don't either - especially since Goku has been able to do that since
Dragonball Z.
Probably
even Dragonball
[2:32
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Adapt
to everything" Like adapt to getting shot with bullets?
Breathing in water?
[2:32
PM] Mr. Brown:
Like
he never has to think his moves through, it just happens. No
thinking at all in a fight
[2:33
PM] Mr. Blue:
Oh
okay
[2:33
PM] Mr. Brown:
Just
auto reaction
[2:33
PM]
Most
fighting doesn't involve much or any thinking already. It's too
fast...that's what you train for.
[2:33
PM] Mr. Brown:
Like
another character sent a barrage of energy attacks at him, and he just
walked away from them, slowly
lol
They
are making it out to be the ultimate auto pilot - like nobody will be
able to touch you kinda thing
[2:34
PM]
Can
they just admit he's a none-to-bright amnesiac god and get it over
with?
"Dragonball:
Alpha-Omega - Goku Wins"
"The
new 300 episode series of uninteresting wandering, dull conversation,
and uncompelling plot shoe-horned between sad trash talk, puerile
posturing and flash powerups til Goku wins."
[2:39
PM] Mr. Brown:
Hehe
This
Dragonball Super is fighting between other universes
Even
stronger opponents. Like stronger than gods stronger
[2:41
PM]
It's
pro wrestling with special effects
[2:41
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yes,
but way better
lol
