So I let my son watch the original Nightmare on Elm Street

[bassman]

I dunno. That movie is pure cheese by today's standards. Hell...it was cheese by 80's standards...

[LouCipherr]

I know, but doesn't everyone need a slice of Velveeta every once in a while? If just for a pallette cleanser?

Cheddar makes it all better

Hmmm ... never thought of EFNY as "cheese". I do remember being a bit disappointed by it the first time I saw it, but a couple of years later I re-watched it and loved it, and have seen it a couple more times since - Snake Plissken is superb. How they could even consider remaking it is beyond me - well, in terms of common sense - they're doing it for the money and lack of ideas, I know, but man alive, you can't recreate Kurt Russell's awesome-as-hell performance or the same 80s John Carpenter vibe. Hell, JC himself can't replicate his golden years, so how will a bunch of remakers manage it?! And Timothy Olyphant as 'favourite' for the role - wtf?!

Whoa, whoa, whoa... put the brakes on for one second here... Did you just ask how they could consider doing a remake of this? And also say they can't recreate the 80's Carpenter vibe? Yet you were on-board for the Halloween remakes?! So they can recreate the 70's Carpenter but not the 80's Carpenter? Wait, I know it's around here somewhere.. I must've just misplaced it.. under the desk? No.. Under this chair? No.... damn, where did I put it.. OH! Here it is... Just couldn't pass up the chance to whip out the stick again, MZ. I knew what you meant, I just couldn't help but take that opportunity to be a dick. I can replicate it. Dj = HPotD's own CARPENTER JUNIOR! Matter of fact, I think we should start calling him "Junior" just like Connery did to Ford in The Last Crusade.

All this talk of "JC" can be very confusing when just skimming this thread

[MinionZombie]

God Lou, you're such a stick-poking dick. hehe For anyone in doubt, while I do dig H1 and H2, they're not a patch on the original Halloween and never were going to be ... but let's not get back into all that again.

[LouCipherr]

God Lou, you're such a stick-poking dick. hehe *takes a bow* Thank you, thank you very much. Please, no autographs, just throw money. Sorry man, I had to go there. I knew what you meant and how you feel about H1, H2, etc, but that was an open door I couldn't not go through. Don't worry, you're still the (zombie) man.

[DjfunkmasterG]

Yeah cuz lou and I made a list of 109 reasons it sucks. That is all you need to know.

[LouCipherr]

Yeah cuz lou and I made a list of 109 reasons it sucks. That is all you need to know. See that MZ? ...and you say I'm the dick with the stick!

[DjfunkmasterG]

See that MZ? ...and you say I'm the dick with the stick! Mine is bigger

[LouCipherr]

Mine is bigger You must be....

[DjfunkmasterG]

You must be.... My tape measure runs out at 8ft... and it is long than that.

[LouCipherr]
