It's just a sad time for me as a JC fan. I love most of his movies and every day there's a new story/rumor that another of his classics will be *remade*. But even beyond that, JC's HALLOWEEN basically gave birth to the modern slasher, I really don't understand the motivation for a remake or reimaging.

I like the idea of making Myers more of a sadistic fuck, like real life killers, such as John Wayne Gacey or Ed Gein
Apparently that's the direction it's going, especially in the first part of the film. The only things that make this new HALLOWEEN palatable for me at all is the fact that it probably can't be any worse than any of the sequels past part 3. Also, I hear JC gave his blessing to Zombie (although I still disagree with a remake).

Better then doing another emotionless walking death machine like all the other Halloweens
Well, I think that's basically what's coming to the theater. However, a couple of early screening reviews I've read say RZ's version is not crap, so if your looking forward to this redux, there may be reason to have hope.
