@RR529 You might temper your expectations on the original Halloween. I only say this because I just recently watched it for the first time and, I don't know, I thought it was extremely boring. I think some of this is there was no nostalgic appeal for me, which probably accounts for much of this movie's continued adoration. It's okay, I'm the same with say, Legend, because I saw it as a kid and was spellbound by it so I'm willing overlook how bad it is even into adulthood. This isn't to say Halloween is bad but, subjectively, I didn't find it even remotely scary. It's definitely a "you had to be there" movie if you ask me.
Also it never hurts to lower your expectations lol.

@JohnnyShoulder The only thing I've seen him in other than Twilight was Rover (or is it The Rover?). Anyway not knowing much about his acting chops I'm still very much looking forward to his Batman. Seems better than Affleck.

@zupertramp Yeah he was in The Rover. You should check out those other films, I can recommend them (although I've not seen the last 2). Good Times might not be an easy watch though for some, but i found it more bearable than something like Uncut Gems.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder I've been planning on watching The Lighthouse and The Devil All the Time, it's really just a matter of time, but I'll add those others to my ever growing queue as well.
I've also been recommended High Life but I wasn't too sure about that one.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, I think it was Pattinson’s first major gig. He became Edward shortly thereafter.
The teen heartthrob role of Cedric in Harry Potter, followed by becoming Edward where he [apparently ... don’t know since I’ve never spent 2 seconds on Twilight] doubled down on being the heart’s desire for every teenage girl, it had the makings of becoming typecast but it appears that to his credit he was able to escape that and take on a variety of roles.

@Th3solution@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Ah ok. I have seen the HP films and aware that RP was in them but not well versed in all the lingo or recall his character. I watched them all quite close together one Xmas period a few years back. They were OK, but I have no desire to watch them again. Not seen any of the Twilight movies either, and have no desire to ever watch those.
Oh and Sol the image you posted is not working for me, it is coming up 'image not found.'
Yeah, Hufflepuff is the silliest name ever and literally the most spare and forgettable of all 4 Hogwarts houses.
It’s also humorous that if a person doesn’t know the HP universe then I can see how the terms do sound like the ramblings of a madman - Hufflepuff, Dumbledore, Slytherin, Muggle... 😂 It’s all gibberish.

So Black Widow’s been bumped to May 2021, a full year after it was originally scheduled. Crazy times. Still not sure I really give a toss though, I’d have rather they brought back Mockingbird from the SHIELD show 😛
@nessisonett Honestly I'm not a huge Marvel movie fan but I am really looking forward to Black Widow. Still, a delay won't kill me. Nothing could smart like the Netflix cancellation of Daredevil anyway.

@Wavey84 Suspiria is brilliant, love both the movie and the crazy good soundtrack. I did enjoy the remake but it’s a different sort of movie and I appreciated different aspects.
