"This reminds me of the concept that if Christians *really* believed their faith, they would never be sad when a loved one died."

I strongly disagree with your readings of both "Halloween" and "The Thing," and the idea that Michael Myer's only function is to "pop out of unexpected places, stabs naughty teens, and creates terror."

The first two are the one-of-a-kind works by a true auteur; the third film is enjoyable enough, but as a work-for-hire sequel it's just never going to live up to the unique genius of what Whale was doing.

In a remake, you mean? He would have been perfect.

The original is terrific. It's a weird thematically-dense, darkly-comic fairy-tale with horror elements. It totally stands out from the rest of the Universal Horror canon.

Pretorious does actually state that the female creature is "the Bride of Frankenstein."

Elizabeth also escapes from Pretorious's cronies and saves Henry at the end.

It was meant to be the first, but it bombed so hard critically and commercially that they seem to have quietly swept it under the rug.

Next year's The Mummy starring Tom Cruise will technically be the first.

They review the show because it gets clicks.

You think re-setting shots for ad-libs is what cost so much money?

Ah, interesting take!

Neil Patrick Harris or Michael C. Hall— both grimy rocker veterans from playing Hedwig— could have been great.

She's also said stuff like this, though:

I must have watched it at least a dozen times. It's really an incredible piece of work and it STILL makes me laugh.

Because the only two stories we've had take place on the first day of camp and the last day of camp, they could introduce any number of characters that simply showed up late and left early that summer at Camp Firewood. That's pretty brilliant.

It's an interesting criticism, but if anything, I feel Scrubs did the opposite with a lot of its side characters. Kelso, the Janitor, Laverne, and Ted all were given more moments to actually be "human" as the show went on, rather than just cartoon joke machines (Like, say, The Todd).

They do, though.
