The 50s weren't happy days, the 70s lied to us!
It would've felt odd having the 2017 adaptation set in the 50s and the other half take place almost 60 years later. I mean we don't want to see the adult losers as senior citizens battling a clown, with canes! It just wouldn't have worked out, if Chapter 1 was in 1958 and Chapter 2 was in 2015. That's a 57 year difference versus a 27 year one.
The updated late 80s setting feels more akin to Spielberg era films like The Goonies and thus it still works. It would've been cool if Richie saw Freddy Krueger in the school basement, instead of the Wolfman.
I have yet to see it. I have the Roku page open on my web browser on my phone. I'm so relieved that he doesn't get bullied. That has ruined a lot of otherwise good films like Jumunji and Hardcore Henry. Can't say the same for The Adam Project. Even without the awful cliche bullying that's apparently never resolved for whatever bullshit reason; it's just another run of the mill time travel flick. Even Looper did the same exact promise, except way better. Hell, even Disney's The Kid was a way better version and the bullies are actually taken care of, in that film! So there was no excuse for that lazy kind of writing in The Adam Project.
The 50s were like the medieval version of America!
Bozo The Clown was still around in the 80s. Hell, I even watched him, when I was only 2 years old at a babysitter's house. My earliest memories ever.
Actually Georgie's tombstone reads "Born, 1954" and "Died, 1960" when Bill first revisits Derry, as an adult. I guess we could still consider 1960 a part of the 50s, the same way 1990 is still considered a part of the 80s.
I'll take that over the shitty cliche school stuff, on any given day!
There wasn't really a cliffhanger ending. Unless you're thinking of the scrapped deleted ending where Laurie calls Karen and Michael picks it up, right after he kills her and Laurie says "I'm coming for you, Michael!" as he breathes into the phone. That was originally planned because they wanted Ends to originally take place on November 1, 2018 and they changed it, at the last minute, and the setting was changed to October 29-31, 2022. I would've been weird having a 3rd movie take place a day later after the first two, this isn't Jeepers Creepers and Friday The 13th Parts 2-4 already did something similar to that, 40 years earlier.
They did, at least with H'18. The other two may have had problems, but I'll take Halloween Kills over 5 and Halloween Ends over Resurrection. The Zombie films were okay, at least the first one was a decent re-telling of H'78.
No way, even Halloween 6 and Resurrection were both way better than 5! The only good thing about 5, was the laundry chute scene.
Even the goofy biker thugs from Friday the 13th, Part III were more threatening than those Glee club nerds! Also, that was 40 years ago when gangs were more rampant than ever.
Thank God, I'm so sick of that generic run of the mill bullying they put in the childhood parts of films. Why The Adam Project had it, I have no fucking clue! It seems to only happen when its about boys. Never really is an issue when it involves young girls. I mean they still have to deal with it, it's not just a "male only" issue; but they make a bigger deal out of it, when it involves young boys and I hate that shit so much! Its as lazy as you can get to writing generic stereotypical stuff in films and TV shows and I can see why Doug Walker put "The Bully" as the #1 worst cliche! Everything he said that was wrong with it, was spot on!
Even The Black Phone had that crap, but at least in a horror movie, it actually makes sense, not to mention, it took place in the 70s when times were different. I just hate it when Hollywood shoehorns in that shit for no reason! Now when they write bullies like Biff Tannen and Nelson Muntz, that actually works because they're more than just one-note villains and they actually have funny things to say, generic run of the mill bullies are just soulless assholes with no redeeming qualities, whatsoever!
Bullshit, he dies via an accident from falling out his bedroom window! Stop your failed trolling!
That would be interesting.
Okay, goodbye!
I was just asking a question. No need for trolling!
Okay, you're not helping. Next, please!
"Bully Hunter" is the more accurate term, actually, but can you answer my question; if you have seen the movie?
You're the damn snowflake, not me! I was just stating that we live in a crappy PC world. I'm not all for it, except when it comes to physical bullying.
H5 started the downfall of the franchise and this lasted for exactly 20 years (1989-2009) from Halloween 5 to Rob Zombie's Halloween II. H20 was the only "normal" Halloween movie released between those years.
If anything, they should've just stuck with the anthology idea from Halloween III, which was a way better movie than most of the actual Halloween films featuring Michael Myers, made onwards from 1988.
