They could definitely go the reboot route with Stephen, have John be kind of the 'distant uncle'/Loomis and and just basically remake the original. That would include all the history.

I stayed at work and got so much done while I had the game hooked in. I refused to leave, refused to take my hat off. I get insane and stupid superstitious. Good game, though. I am not going to be able to handle tomorrow...

To be fair, Harley wasn't always over sexualized. The Arkham games and certain writers decided it'd be a good idea to make her dress like a whore. This is why I can't stand Power Girl. I'm all for some boobies, don't get me wrong. But good Lord, how can she fly around with those watermelons? Melons to the face right? Does anyone know if this woman is still alive? Or is that her head exploding?

After seeing the recent Power Rangers teaser trailer, they just made the list! I was 10 when the first series came out and I ate it up until the Green Ranger saga then even at that age I gave up after that. This new teaser makes it look like the new Ninja Turtles movies and it looks like it will have the same fate, a 5.9/6.1 movie on IMDB that tried to cash in on nostalgia and failed. I feel like people will jump on the bandwagon and then quietly get off again. Maybe it's an age thing but I agree. The excitement abound for this makes no sense to me. Power Rangers is definitely something I consider a 'fad' in my childhood. Don't get me wrong, I look upon it fondly, but it was still a fad. Then again I feel the same way about Pokemon and everyone seems to love that, so who knows?

Augh. This is a good one. Scarface is one of my least favorite movies ever. I get absolutely nothing from that.

This time of year gives me so much anxiety. I am way more invested in baseball than so many other things in life, which I don't know if that's a scary thought or something else. Boston is super salty after their loss right now. I wore my Dodgers hoodie to work today and you'd think WE just beat this city and hung up a #BostonWeak sign over the green monster. This is exactly why I'm hoping for Dodgers/Sox WS. It might change my life forever. Good luck to everyone else. Always so enjoyable!

Who do you think are the most overrated characters, across the board, in anything (this even means sports heroes) of all time...and why? I'll start: Boba Fett I love all things Star Wars movie related from 1-7 and I have never, ever been into Boba Fett. I love that George Lucas thinks like I do and made sure that the Sarlaac burped to prove that he was absolutely dead and digested. I'm not at all a fan of how he is constantly being shoehorned into everything and anything possible only because people think he looks cool. The prequels helped make him moderately more interesting to me with the whole 'a Jedi killed my dad' element, but even then you couldn't drag me kicking and screaming to a full length movie based on him. Protoman/Zero: I am admittedly only really a fan of the NES/SNES style of Mega Man and not into the whole X thing and beyond, but I always even thought Protoman was super overrated. Nothing's better than classic, straight up Mega Man with no cast of 'Mega Man, but cooler' characters that people seem to want to play as more. Although I'll take Protoman over Zero because I'd rather he show up in Smash Bros if it had to happen. I can't complain too much though because I like Mega Man 3 and it did give us Rush, who is awesome. So this one isn't as harsh as Fett. How about everyone else?!

Halloween is the holiday of holidays. I do enjoy early winter but it sucks that they are close together and it's all over in one fell swoop then we're pretty much spent for cool holidays until 4th of July. I am usually a Ghostbuster every year for one of the party weekends (if you're not partying Halloween style from 10/15 to 10/31 you're missing out) and make tweaks/improvements as it goes on. Last year I was 'a girl as a ninja turtle on halloween' which was a pretty big hit: I have also been Mega Man within the past few years: This year I was hoping to do Jack Skellington which I have been waiting for for a long time, but I don't know if I will have the free time to pull off the construction: So much fun to be had all around here. I hope everyone appreciates this holiday because we can all, everyone, have a great time with it, always.

Thanks for the insight. Sorry to hear it sounds like it got gradually worse for you as it went on. I now know the feeling! I think the real question is, what's next that will actually re-ignite those feelings for someone like you or me in relation to horror? It's a constant quest for me, haha. I love horror, and I'll watch the good, the bad, and the ugly. I suppose when I find something I really love, it makes it all the more special because of all the other junk that's out there. Most recently, It Follows checked all of my boxes. Same! On that note, stay far away from We Are Still Here!

I was very excited for PA when it came out, and felt a bit of that uneasiness throughout, but I can't rank it high. The substance just got lost on me as they went out of their way to make sure the 'jump' scares were in there. Now it just runs rampant. I blame YouTube and PA in the same breath because PA was just that, an hour and a half long version of a YouTube jump scare video. "Look really closely and you can see a ghost in the background of this car commercial." That was Paranormal Activity to me but stretched out. I haven't seen it since it came out, though, so I could give it another chance. I was so bothered by the flaming Ouija board. If a person were lucky enough to legitimately capture such a thing on film, I can't imagine they would be mopey about telling their significant other and would instead be freaking out over the fact that they essentially proved the existence of an afterlife and would be going out of their way to show it to people. This is the sort of over the top mentality (along with the film's ending) that plagues so many of these movies. I do like the attic scene, though. Very uncomfortable and uneasy. The sequels looked interesting to me, though, with the witch covens and all that (what few scenes I've seen). Should I be avoiding them? I think that largely depends on whether or not you're interested in expanding upon the mythology that was briefly touched upon in the original. Part of the effectiveness of the first one, for me, is the vagueness of it all. I don't necessarily want or need to know what is in the house or what is possessing Katie or why it's there. The sequels beat those questions to death, raise them back from the dead, and beat them to death some more. In a vacuum, all of the sequels aren't bad. 2 and 3 have their moments. 4 is largely forgettable. The supposed spin-off, The Marked Ones, is actually tied into the main series way more than they let on, but it gets a little too cute with twists for my liking. The final installment, The Ghost Dimension, is the one I'd recommend avoiding at absolutely all costs. Thanks for the insight. Sorry to hear it sounds like it got gradually worse for you as it went on. I now know the feeling! I think the real question is, what's next that will actually re-ignite those feelings for someone like you or me in relation to horror?

It's funny we disliked pretty much the same things about it but you thought it was way better than I did. I don't want to say I had my mind made up within the very start, but they kind of forced me into it. The polished and over-produced way that it was made just completely destroys any believability they had, and they definitely had a platform here to kind of turn the genre on its head a little bit, with some huge missed opportunities. I also went insane over the constant camera cuts which just add to the lack of reality. I found myself sitting and thinking well, people would definitely have these high quality cameras in this day and age, but the editing was just terrible, constantly taking away from getting to know any of these (bad) actors and only concerned with setting up for the final scene. And I didn't think anything positive about those last 20 minutes. I'm glad they're trying to build out the mythology for themselves or whatever, but what the original does so well is just tell a ghost story that seems like it could have happened down the street. This just turned the whole thing into a stalking down by a giant monster or whatever that thing was, and ruined the imagination/relatability of the entire concept. I don't know if any of you guys have seen As Above/So Below, but I felt like this was essentially the same movie as that, but that movie did it better (not that THAT movie was any good, really, but better than this). I blame Paranormal Activity, YouTube & James Wan for my experience last night. That's interesting, because I agree with it, yet it bothers me at the same time because my opinion of the original PA is so high. I, too, felt largely underwhelmed by Blair Witch, but Paranormal Activity ranks high among my favorite horror films of all time. I don't know that I'll ever experience the fear and dread that I had watching that in the theater for the first time. Then, of course, the sequels came along and ruined all of it. To this day, Paranormal Activity scares the living hell out of me, but only if I view it in a vacuum where the other films just don't exist. I was very excited for PA when it came out, and felt a bit of that uneasiness throughout, but I can't rank it high. The substance just got lost on me as they went out of their way to make sure the 'jump' scares were in there. Now it just runs rampant.

I think everyone here has given great advice, but I would also have a chat with your doctor about it. Nothing crazy, just mention you feel like you have some BO challenges at times. Hopefully they will be able to communicate with you about this openly and make sure it isn't part of a larger problem that may need help, etc. Not even in a bad way, man. Just in a healthy way. Don't take the entire thing to heart. It's embarrassing, but it's over. Multiple work outfits, washing up, and see if your doctor has any recommendations. That's it!
