For many years (before 2018) I would watch all the HALLOWEEN films through H20 every October and lemme tell you: as a series finale, this film never disappointed me
I still think about this shot. Both of them seeing each other after 20 years, him immediately recognizing Laurie and Laurie knowing it’s him under that mask. SO GOOD.

44 years ago, this month in 1982, the film adaptation of my novel FIRST BLOOD debuted. I fondly recall the thrill of seeing it with an excited audience. It changed action movies, just as I had the goal of changing action novels.

I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

Every spooky season I always like to throw a horror-adjacent comedy into my watch mix, and this year being the 30th anniversary of THE CABLE GUY made it an easy choice. That nightmare scene actually did give me a nightmare back in the day.

This is so upsetting. Very sorry to see it.
