The annoying journalists in the beginning


Anybody else cheer when Mikey snuffed them?

reply

I was actually surprised they were dispatched so quickly. I see no reason they were even included in the script.

reply

Right. Renders the pre-credit sequence pointless.

There had to be a way for Michael to get his mask back.

Plus they helped introduce the audience to Michael again when he's out in the courtyard.

reply

Yep. It seems many young ones that age feel entitled to know everything

I watched the first 40 minutes of the new Halloween last night and not bad for a "reboot" sequel.

yeah I couldnt stand the cocky young podcast journalists or whatever they were. Stirring up trouble anyway where they had to bring a nastly 40 year old mask to agitate Myers which they only made the other inmates go crazy.

Plus the podcast journalists were basically barging in at Laurie's place trying to force her to meet Myers at Smiths Grove for what?

reply

I will never understand why they would let that guy bring out the mask at the asylum.

reply

It was Dr. Sartain who let the journalists bring the mask into the asylum. We find out later in the film that the Doctor lost his mind and became evil treating Michael for 20 years.

reply

That's true. I guess I forgot about that because I forgot about most of the movie as soon as it was over.

Real crime and serial killer shows are some of the most consumed content on TV, there is a station dedicated to it called ID. Is it that surprising a couple journalists are trying to be the first to get an infamous serial killer to speak on tape after 40 years of silence. It would be more realistic if there was a line of journalists and TV correspondents waiting to see Myers at that asylum.

reply

In what world? Yours, maybe in your dreams.

I dont watch any real crime shows on tv if they even are on. Even on Netflix I dont watch true crime crap

reply

Just because you don't watch true crime television doesn't mean a lot of other people don't. Netflix is producing so much of it that a parody show called American Vandal was released to instant praise. Making a Murderer, The Staircase, Dateline NBC and 48 Hours all have huge numbers, its not in my dreams its just a reality your ignorant little brain won't acknowledge.

reply

Man, work on reading comprehension. Just because you don't watch True Crime stuff doesn't mean other people don;t.

reply

I know a lot of people, including my wife, who watch true crime stuff all the time. That stuff wouldn't be on tv if it didn't make the stations broadcasting it a lot of money, and it wouldn't make a lot of money if people weren't watching it.

reply

agree - I really like these shows. I enjoy "Forensic Files" very much, however, I start to get very uncomfortable after watching three or four in a row.

reply

"Can you help us out? We're doing a podcast". If I wasn't already rooting for them to die, that took the cake.

reply

Hahahaha!
