I did triple feature of Halloween movies just now. They did nothing for me. Don't get the hype. Myers irritates me. Just die already.

Man I can imagine watching the 2nd after disliking the first, but going for the 5th and 6th hour after you thought the first 4 sucked is some real dedication

 

Anyway, see my earlier comment about having watched 0 slasher movies in my life.

Plot armour of course, it's like an anime protagonist.

It’s in the same box as Star Wars for me: How the hell have they been fighting the same thing for 45 years?

The villain is invincible for the same reason CBM heroes are invincible — they’re the main character, so if they die in the middle there’s no more movie and if they die at the end there’s no more sequels 😛   
 

Spoiler

Until you resurrect them in a few years

 

— oh my god, I finally understand why CBMs and horror are the only 2 genres that will continue to exist theatrically in post-pandemic Hollywood

What is with this “somehow?” Shouldn’t Moon Knight know exactly how? Why wasn’t he playing fortnite at the right time, I mean this was a well advertised event for forcesakes.

2nd. Phew.

I expected this to open something like 30M in pre covid. It opening 45-50m now is insanely good.

 

More surprising than V2 outopening V1.

Halloween Kills is getting the most slating on my social media timelines of anything for a long time. Which, I suppose, means that at least lots of people are watching it. People who I never see write about movies are commenting on how awful they think it is. Which is inherently indicative of great success.

 

I don't know what people are expecting though. Like, there's a very, very narrow range of things that can happen in a Halloween sequel. 

 

Last Duel is a worrying development. Looks like there's a whole genre there that's going to be TV only for a long time.

Oh wow. My favourite sub genre of any film. 
 

Each to their own of course.

Imperial Army + Death Stars + Psychos w/ Force should be harder to defeat than lone psycho with a knife
