What the HELL happened to HALLOWEEN RESURRECTION!!!

HALLOWEEN RESSURECTION

Sometimes dead is better. Is a good line that gets brought up with a lot of these horror franchises. Unless they lean into the terribleness. Which cuts down the number of people saying it, but by no means the number of people believing it. But man that cash cow. It was healthy, now it’s nearly blind, one eye is solid, it barely moves and you start to make more sense of Metallica’s song One.

This film, is a journey. For everyone. I remember when it came out my friends and I were. Well we laughed a lot. The film did have some actual fun moments. But overall this was just not that good, or wanted. Especially the last part. It’s all too familiar at this point but as we’ve said, and said again between this franchise and the last. Where can you go after the last? And why.

Well we already answered that with the compromise of egos in the last film. This film had to be made to appease Akkad for giving Jamie her heroes ending, he needed his franchise to continue thus, Michael must return.

And we also must retreat a lot of familiar ground-I mean a lot. A LOT of familiar ground. Because this wasn’t just a let’s make Moustafa happy. This was a realization film. People only now, after a list of failed filmed and two successes began to realize. Maybe Akkad should be open to change. Maybe he should let the series open up a little bit. Did he? Of course not. So lets delve into that because this film is a bit complicated as it, like the others, and with Jason. Wasn’t entirely a success, wasn’t a total failure. But did finally put an end to Michael for a good long while. 

The Story

It was a different time, the horror landscape was shifting and popular once again. So horror started following popular trends to stay hip with the cool kids. In this case they decided with Scream being a big banger of a franchise and people loving the humor and horror from those. We need to interject it here. We also need to tap into that new film everyone’s crazy about called The Blair Witch Project and use Found Footage in our movie.

And so, the amazingly coined Dangertainment was born. Fear it, and embrace the cringe.

Given the end of the last movie with Michael being dead, they could have skipped over that. But no. Akkad wanted more. He had a score to settle. We get an immediate retconning of the last act from H20, we see Laurie doing her beheading, but alas it wasn’t Michael. It was a paramedic, and she hallucinated Michael. So Laurie is locked up in an asylum for decapitating an innocent man. She’s pretending to be catatonic waiting for Michael whom she knows will come for her, as he often wants to do. She is preparing to fight him once more and gets her chance. Only Michael is victorious and she dies. Giving Michael a kiss, for. Some reason and wishing him good luck against Busta Rhymes.

Michael now happy with having finally ended his family bloodline decides it’s time to go home and retire. Only his home is full of cameras, teens, and Busta Rhymes.

His home has become the center of live online entertainment. Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks have setup the ultimate Halloween night entertainment for those who wont be out drinking, partying and getting laid. The internet was a big new fangled thing back then so we all have to deal with it.

6 lucky students are all competing for Internet fame, clout, and a cash prize for having survived the night, and maybe solved some of Michaels troubled path along the way.

If anyone has ever watched Ghost Adventures you know this shit is boring. They did not know this back then. But they acknowledged the potential for boring shit. So Busta decides to spice things up by dressing up as Michael and jump scaring the kids in the house. All while the real Michael is stalking the house wondering who these kids are in his home and why they’re touching his fine China. As you can figure out by now, the kids all get killed off one by one. People watching from parties are getting more into it because in our heart of hearts we love snuff films and no one is getting laid so, why not. The live audience is a fun part of the movie I’ll grant them that. Because you have two kids texting each other through these events, her friend texting what’s happening on the other camera letting her and the others know where Michael is. It’s a good trick and kind of wish more films utilized that kind of thing. But its short lived ultimately when the feed goes south.

Eventually Busta Rhymes is upset with Michael for ruining his Dangertainment project and confronts him. Michael takes the constructive criticism and throws him. Don’t worry Busta will return. As we get down to our final kids escaping Michael. Busta returns and decided to fight Michael. With his impromptu kung fu. Which is just as bad today as it was in theaters back then.

Michael escapes the cringe karate only to land himself in the control room of the house, wrapped in wires and sadly electrocuted. To death. Or at least shocked and charred on fire and put to sleep. Because as the coroners take him away, they decide to check on the body only for his eyes to open and roll the credits.

We had to get through that story because it really isn’t that memorable aside what you can laugh at. I will again though give it some credit in that at the time it was funny both in its cringe and some entertainment. But overall it was forgettable horror slop. Which today would mean shit, but back then it was less that the film was terrible, and more that it was just a see it and forget it, move on to the next one. There was a lot of that back then.

So what went wrong here, isn’t that hard to see. What the hell happened, just as much though not as biblical in proportions compared to the producer’s cut and H20.

First there was the script and the fighting. Which went hand in hand in that all too familiar way.

Given how many of these things we’ve had to endure so far, and the on again off again success. The executives wanted to protect their surprise investment. Again when Miramax picked up the franchise it wasn’t exactly at its high point, they watched it whither and what should have, in their minds printed money for them, was in fact dwindling. So when H20 blew away every other box office the series ever had. They stepped up and decided it now should be handled with a bit more respect. Like discovering a rare TCG card, you want to take care of it and not just let it sit out in the sunlight. This meant taking a bit more care and caution with the next film.

So they pitched a careful sequel. And hoped Akkad wouldn’t notice one of their subtle changes to the story. They wanted to make an anthology series. That sounds familiar…and they wanted to do it without Michael. Boy that…also sounds a little familiar. Their reasoning was less in line with Carpenter’s pitched idea of an anthology series with Halloween, and more about not risking upsetting fans(and Jamie) with undoing the end of their lone blockbuster sequel.

Moustafa immediately reminded them of the deal signed in blood they made with him after Jamie’s ending, and his contract keeping Michael from perma-death. So they would have to alter their plans to keep the dragon at bay.

So then came the idea of making Laurie’s son from the last film the star. Leave his mom alone and have her son obsessed with Michael. Realizing he survived somehow and now must hunt him down. Introducing a Tommy Jarvis like character to Halloween and moving from the time tested final girl formula the series and others after it followed. One of the oddest attempted stories, which still would have been kind of bizarrely interesting to have seen, focused on the security guard from the last film played again my LL Cool J.

Neither of these were getting a passing grade.

So just for fun they even circled back and decided, gosh you know what? Even though the last movie, we tossed out the other sequels. What if. Hear me out. What if we brought back Danielle Harris as Jamie Lloyd and had her-

 Moustafa screamed out a mighty roar silencing the room. The old timeline was dead and gone. A new one was here and this was the clean palette future films would come from.

So the past would be buried and the future would be the place to be. Which brought us the internet, the information super highway. As I said with Blair Witch being the big horror film of the time, the idea to bring found footage was an easy one. Funnily enough the idea pitched was Michael Myers meets Big Brother. Akkad was in love and the movie moved forward.

That just left Akkad to ponder, how do we kill Laurie.

Why not move on from her? It’d be easy enough and the past films did manage. But no. Some body, not naming names. But. Some. Body. Had to completely undo the last film, and make sure they undid some serious wrong doings.

So in one draft of the script Laurie Strode killed herself after the guilt of fucking up killing Michael and instead killing an innocent man. There was the option to leave her in a sanitarium going mad seeing Michael return and head off to Haddonfield. But no. She had to die.

But how can you achieve this. When it would mean absolutely admitting to the actress who made you a blockbuster and returned, was given her ending. That you lied to her. Why then would she agree to be in your movie. Just to undo her ending?

For the same reason as their feud began in the last film.

Contracts.

Jamie had signed a two picture deal with Miramax and was contractually obligated to do one more film with them. They decided to pull that card and make this next Halloween movie. That film. Her choice was either honor the contract, or go to court and fight it.

Having no choice in the matter she returned, but with her own stipulation. Seeing how they wanted to handle Laurie’s death in the movie. She told them to have Michael kill her himself. Have her make another final stand and he overpowers her. Let her go out fighting, not crying. And let it happen in the first 10 minutes. Her wish was granted and her obligation to the franchise she helped spawn and returned too and helped revive, was done.

Akkad was happy and Michael could move on without any possible road blocks or issues.

Part 1 The studio knows best

While Moustafa claimed the title of protective godfather over the franchise, in reality he was more like Elvis’s corrupt manager the Colonel. He liked money, and he knew to protect his cash cow. The Weinstein brothers, knew this franchise was a piggy bank they could shake and make rain. So they wanted, as they had in the past sequels to make a different movie that would give them more of everything. Just like what happened with Revenge of Michael Myers. They wanted more blood, more death, more intense.

They also didn’t care for the found footage gimmick. Mostly because it wouldn’t allow for good gore. It can produce scares for sure. But from what they saw during filming and what the director presented. They weren’t impressed. The actors were allowed handheld cameras and this was the footage they used. The result as you’d imagine. Was less than stellar and they were on the verge of removing the concept entirely.

They demanded reshoots. Make it bloody, make it intense. Bring in more lights it’s too dark. It looks cheap make it look better. This began to annoy the director.

See the director really liked the idea of the movie taking place on a streamed web site relying solely on hand cam and helmet cameras. But that also means a good deal of shaky cam which some people were still not thrilled with and made what you were looking at hard to make out if not done right. He had visions of a horror film shot similarly to Cannibal Holocaust where a large portion would be webcam like recordings and a minimal amount would be filmed traditionally. The Weinstein’s hated that and fought hard to remove it. But that would mean dropping the dangertainment angle and that wasn’t happening. Not at this stage. So reshoots were a regular happening. If it was shaky and realistically lit? Redo it and give it studio lighting. Slow it down. See the scary and then add the kill.

So with that done and things looking smoother, more to the studio’s liking. The next target for them was the ending. They hated it. A lot. Loathed almost. They let the director know this and took their wrath out on him and the writer. At one point they decided the best thing to do. Because they had the money and time(they didn’t)They felt the best option was too film four different endings, and see which one they like most. The director stared at them unsure if they were fucking with him or not. They were not. He said fuck it, why not. It’s your dime.

That’s actually not true, it would have been smart in any other case. But the Weinsteins legitimately had begun pissing off the director and pushing him to his edge. So much so to the point that when they proposed he film 4 different endings, he said later on that he joked to them “Sure lets do four endings. Then you can release the films with different endings in each theater!” The Weinsteins thought he was being serious and chewed him out. Adding more fuel on top of a propane tank aready ballooning from the flames dancing around it.

Part 2 Actors at war.

This film, like a couple other fun horror films of the time, would feature future stars. One of whom in this was already well known, Tyra Banks. Tyra was already well known, but she still decided to do this movie. Why? Because apparently her agent told her it would act as a bridge getting her parts in bigger more serious films, and away from things like staring along side Lindsay Lohan. So she figured why not let’s do it. She played beside Busta Rhymes and served as part of his Dangertainment team. Now she wasn’t given a full fledged character arch or for that matter a BIG character. But she like others would get a big fun death scene. Which is why most like doing these films. It’s the looking forward to how they’re going to end your character. After Busta Rhymes confronts Michael he tells him to go help Tyra with things in the garage. Which Michael does. He strangled her from behind and Tyra’s character gets their big death.  The director loved it, she enjoyed it. Everyone was happy. Except the Weinsteins. They cut it out.

Was it too bloody? Afraid the MPAA might say something? Did she upset them? No. They thought it would make for a scarier movie and scene if they cut out the filmed death scene and instead had her body pop up at the end as part of the usual discover the trail of bodies moment.

Tyra was not happy. She made it very openly known to those with recording equipment and free time, that she was snubbed. She didn’t get the career push she was promised. She wasn’t going to be remembered in Horrors hallowed halls. She was just there and forgotten. She also noted a lot of her scenes she filmed, had been reduced. So she barely even appears in the thing and further upset her. Which fell on her fans as well who expected to see their idol get killed off and have fun in a horror film.

Then we have the rising star

Katee Sackhoff.

This was her first feature role. It also served as a lesson for her later on with films, and especially contracts.

Those familiar with the movie would remember that her character teases making content worth logging in for, and that means flashing the camera. Which her character does. Giving the audience and you todays viewers what we back in the day had to rely on for our porn. Webcam titties.

I am almost upset that none of you out there will ever know the struggle we all faced. When looking at a single pornographic image online, on an adult web site, would take 20 seconds to fully load on your screen. Every. Image.

But I digress.

So yes, Katee would have to flip her top and show the world her bra covered breast. Katee was not aware of this fact, and felt uncomfortable doing it. Saying this now, makes sense, but at the time it wasn’t so well known but…When she announced her uncomfortableness with filming this. The Weinsteins stepped in and pushed for her to do the scene, claiming it wasn’t a big deal. Just get it over with. She pushed back and said no, she wasn’t about to show even bra covered breast let alone her tummy too. So the Weinsteins, teamed up with the director. BOTH of them pressured her to do the scene and move on with the film.

But Katee politely told them to fuck themselves. The Sweater puppies would stay cozy, warm and not for the eyes of the public. She packed her shit and waved everyone off.

The studio, familiar with these happenings, and Jamie Lee’s near walk off at not getting her way. They decided to do what Hollywood does. They told Katee alright, you win. No boobie shot. Your right, we’re wrong. Keep your top on and lets move on. Katee kept her dignity and bra her own business and the film continued.

However…

The studio, unbeknownst to Katee. Hired a body double and filmed the scene anyway.

She had no idea this happened, until she saw the premiere. Saying she was upset, and feeling a bit violated and lied too. Is putting it mildly. The fact the studio wouldn’t respect her, her body, and her boundaries, that they went around her and found a way to still get what they wanted. While now putting her in a position of applying for roles now having to defend the partially nude scene as not being her. It taught her some lessons on dealing with film contracts and looking for loopholes like that. She began introducing into her future contracts the No nudity and no deception clauses. This became something rather famously done and good on her. It was a fairly not uncommon practice in Hollywood going back further than most horror. Lloyd Kaufman wrote about it as well in his first book “Everything I learned about Filmmaking I learned from the Toxic Avenger”, where he talked about directors having to film any and all nudity first before anything else. Because even if the actress agrees to it? The longer you wait the more likely they are to change their mind. So you film the tits first before they get the chance to negotiate and rethink their decision.

And people think the porn industry is bad.

It’s actually worse. Really. Both are bad.

And lastly. Because the man demands center stage, we arrive at the inevitable

Part 3 The Rhymes are busted

Busta Rhymes.

At this point people should realize that Tropic Thunder was a movie about truth and a warning of what actors and filmmakers really are like.

The director wanted this to be a serious horror film. Keeping in line with the last Halloween, though scream had levity, it still had intense scares and tension throughout, topped off with kills that felt visceral and real.

That wasn’t going to happen.

Busta Rhymes had star power and the youth behind him. Bringing him in was the equivalent of Vin Diesel hiring overseas stars to make sure the box office would pay for another private jet to yet another island. That was their hope.

But hiring a big name as your draw for the film, also means hiring their ego. And this man had an ego.

To be fair though, Actors do have these, musicians as well. Some however. More than others. Kanye comes to mind immediately. Busta was no different, and whether for bragging rights, to protect his street cred, or because he simply is how Busta be. He didn’t just arrive on set. He took over the fucking production.

His character of Freddie Harris was meant to be a greedy promoter and the usual “The beaches stay open!” type character. That wasn’t going to work.

He wanted his character made more prominent. He wasn’t going to be a background forgotten character. He was going to be bigger then that. So he began demanding script rewrites. A new character for himself in a bigger role. He also wanted to fight Michael Myers.

The director fought back on these changes. Things were set and the film was going to go as planned. Busta fought back harder. When scenes weren’t changed. He began ad-libbing lines. Not just here and there.

The man tossed out all his lines and began making up his own. Every scene.

Then came the circling back to his demands for fighting Michael.

He flat out told them, and anyone within ear shot. He wasn’t going out like a punk. Michael wasn’t going to kill him. If P Diddy could turn his back on Godzilla in his music video and look cool for it. Busta could fight the man famous for killing everyone, and walk away unscathed. Leading him to the greatest decision for this film.

Busta Rhymes would fight Michael using his Dolemite style Kung Fu.

The director, the stunt coordinators. Everyone. Calmly pushed for what they felt made sense and would add weight to the scene and struggle. A grounded fight with grappling and strangling.

Busta bust out his kung fu and said fuck you.

He wanted everything. Wire fighting, spinning kicks, chops and everything the Wu-Tang would use in their kung fu console game.

The director, already pushed to his limit with the studio, and producers. Went to them looking for help. Anything to reel in Busta and his constant demands, script changes, dialogue changes, and now newly planned finale kung fu fight.

The studio told the man to shut up.

Busta Rhymes was a huge talent back then(2001) he made some fun videos and songs. So having him as the big name, meant let the man cook. When test screenings had people laughing at his dialogue? That meant let the man cook.

So the director was gagged and Busta would have his way.

So the fight was filmed. Kung fu and all. Busta got his wish, and he also was not killed by Michael. During the fight Michael would get the upper hand on the kung fu warrior, and would end up choking him out. But not killing him.

When they showed this ending in the initial cut of the film. Busta was pissed. He felt his character looked weak. He got choked out like a bitch and didn’t get a hero moment.

The man got the rarest of opportunities.

EDIT

The man gave himself the rarest of opportunities. Sorry is that better Busta?

He got to be one of the very rare few to stand up to Michael and go toe-to-toe. And live. But no. it wasn’t enough. The man demanded respect on his characters name. So the scene was cut out and reshot. The Weinsteins sang praises on the rap artist and he along with his entourage were at long last happy.

The movie started as a serious atmospheric horror, and he turned it into a wacky rollercoaster in every scene until it infected the ending.

Do I think that ruined the film? No, it was funny and really added a what the fuck am I even watching. Because it wasn’t a character. You were watching Busta Rhymes play as himself. He self-injected into the film and forced everyone to go along with it. Making his fans happy. But everyone else question, what the hell happened here?

With this film coming out in the 2000’s that meant the MPAA wasn’t as strict, and it passed as H20 did on its first pass through their grinder remaining intact.

This also was in part thanks again to the odd split personality of the studio.

When a studio demands more kills, more gore and death. You expect they know what they’re making and doing. But then those same studio heads who asked for this, being the ones to immediately cut it all out before submitting the film before the MPAA. It begs the question why? I mean why waste the makeup artist time and effort, why waste the film and cost of filming. Why do any of that, if you intend on cutting it? This wasn’t really the age yet of films releasing their uncut versions. Though that was very much well on its way. It was just an odd practice. Like being in bed with your lover and getting hot and heavy with your dirty talk. Promising to shake the paint off the walls and pounding them sore. Promising to do things even the devil would cringe at. Only to nut after 9 minutes and kiss their cheek before going to sleep.

It just didn’t make sense, but it’s what they did.

All of these factors, which through the series and related franchises. Ultimately added up to why the film didn’t do well. Again the success in every failure is that the movie did make a profit, but nowhere near the last one by any stretch of the imagination. It was made for roughly $15 million and made around $37 million. Not a great profit but not really a loss.

However it was everything that happened behind the scenes leaking its way onto the film that ended up damaging the brand to the point all interest died down.

Firstly the movie wasn’t scary. With the odd tonal shift going from serious to silly, and then Busta Rhymes on top of it. It confused audiences thinking they’d get a traditional Halloween. Instead they got a scream-esq film minus the scares and tension. Michael works as a shadow menace. Someone always looming nearby and always about to strike. Being unstoppable and knowing you were dead the moment he popped up. It did add some scares, but this film lacked it. Completely.

On top of this you had people experiencing what the youth today calls ‘the cringe’. Seeing Michael the unstoppable bullet sponge getting karate kicked through a window. Having a rapper slap him around like a bitch, spouting famously bad lines the studio said let him use like, “Michael Myers is a killer shark in baggy ass overalls who gets his kicks off of killing everything and everyone he comes across” and my personal favorite, “You want some of this? You want to try and kill me? Do you like sushi motherfucker?!”

I mean. That’s just me, but we have to give honorable mention to his words as Michaels body burns. “Lookin a lil crispy over there, Mikey, like a fried chicken motherfucker”

It’s pure poetry. I mean how did we suffer through boring ass dialog for so long in this series? Especially his break down of Michael as a killer shark in baggy ass overalls? It’s a lot more weighted and apt a description of Michael, over something from Dr Loomis, “I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up. Because I realized that what was living behind that boys eyes was purely and simply, evil”

Miramax knew what they were doing.

And fans agreed. Fans did not care for any of this. They didn’t like the dialog. They didn’t like the reality web show idea, which very quickly dated the film. The kung fu, the disrespect to their character.

I mean for the same people to look at Jason, Fighting a Boxer. Getting punched and pushed toward the edge of a building. The entire fight wasn’t full of quips. It was a fight for survival and fans grinned watching because they knew this guy had no chance and was going to fall. Hard. But the man made a hell of a final stand and they respected it.

He didn’t knock Jason off the building decapitating him and ending the film saying “TKO, bitch”

Though that would’ve made the scene funny. People just didn’t care for it.

And on top of all this? The biggest crime among audiences. Surprisingly. Was the betrayel of H20’s ending and Lauries victory.

Imagine that?

Everyone was happy with Laurie having defeated Michael Myers and getting peace in her life.

Then egos had to kill her off and undo Michaels final finale.

People had enough and they didn’t like having their closure rewritten for them. Michael was coming off as an old trope now in a genre he helped create and all the good hope and favor, all the trust built to bring him back for one last go round proved for not. It’s like the point you reach with Wrestling where you enjoy rivalry’s between two figures. Kane and Xpac started as an unlikely duo no one saw working let alone their friendship. Then the two were pitted against each other and fans ate it up. Until it repeated, and repeated, and eventually you had to ask yourself is the same shit really worth the price of another PPV?

A studio out to shake whatever they could from a freshly revived cash cow, being gatekept by another equally greedy man carrying a grudge against an actress for trying to kill his cash flow. A director battling everyone around him to make a horror film and an actor making himself the star of the picture. Again I say it. Tropic Thunder was a documentary, filmed in real time.

Having gone through two of these franchises, and sharing everything I’d known from documentaries over the years as a fan and research now. It’s incredibly interesting but also just baffling when you look into everything these movies went through. I mean at its core? The idea is simple. You release a film that does surprisingly well. You decide to build on that film with a sequel. Like Scream pointed out to us. You up everything the next go around, you get more lore you change the rules up from the last film. It’s a formula these franchises coined and worked well off of. But inevitably they lose their way down the line.

It’s easy to call a film bad and never look past just the experience alone. But when you start looking at these factors. Researching the movies and learning what hell they went through, not only does it add up, and give you points to throw out there as to why the movie sucks. But it should also make you wonder, who the hell even wanted this movie made if they worked that hard to destroy it?! Knowing Carpenter was yelled at by Akkad for wanting to turn the series into an anthology without Michael, Only for the studios to suggest the same, seeing the potential for a new route there. But the gatekeeper keeping you from his golden cow. Having people show actual want to do something with care to carry the series over and keep the momentum going, only to be shot down with the idea keep it how it first was. While retaining NONE of that on screen. It’s baffling. These people want to continue the franchise and agree on doing it. But then you hire directors and producers who HATE the franchise, who HATE the genre. How is that going to give you the product you wanted and how is that going to please the fans? Learning this film was given a regal pass of sorts with the MPAA and didn’t face nearly the trials and tribulations Jason did. That should have given Halloween the edge. But every other driving force behind it managed to take the wheel and somehow find a new tree to crash into.

Eventually both franchises would be revived in complete reboots. But we never get continuation. The only exception was years later, after the Rob Zombie music video Michael Myers, and the formula repeated itself once more. A film was made with respect to the original. The blessing of the director and the music done by him and his son. Laurie Strode returns again to repeat her H20 storyline with a much harder Laurie in this one. Ending on a strong note that brought balance to the force and the franchise. Only to decide. This needs to be a trilogy. And fucking up every single thing you should have just walked away from.

History repeats itself and they haven’t yet learned. With all the challenges Michael faced and survived. In the end after all these films, not including Zombies two films. If we had to put a pin on what the hell happened? This one feels more like it falls at the feet of Greed. The studios played their parts. The directors had their thumbs up there as well to the knuckle. The MPAA washed their hands of things largely. But in the end everyone was about the money. Moustafa held on to the franchise because he saw the money printing machine it could bring. Miramax bought it up for the same reason, to make money off an already established franchise, adding it to the Scream wheelhouse.

I almost wish it had been the result of studios overstepping and the MPAA. Because simple greed is just boring. But unfortunately makes sense.

I still believe, like Jason. These movies are rewatchable, and you can still marathon them. I don’t do the “Okay lets watch the first two, then part 4, then jump to H20 then go to the last Halloween trilogy because the rest suck dick”. I jump around, I watched all of these in order, and I still like suffering through the producers cut. Going back and forth between it and the theatrical. Same as I do with preferring the TV cut of Halloween 2. There’s stuff to like, but overall at the end of the day. You know your attention will drift, you won’t mind passing out through one or two of them. And you’ll still end up debating which ones were genuinely good and which ones sucked ass. But at least now with going through this. Maybe it can add on to that and give something to consider while you go through another watch party.

For now lets pray Michael remains buried and away from the worldwideweb. Even though it would be amazing to have a resurgence of Dangertainment.

Fucking Dangertainment, man.

Until next time, enjoy sleep while you can. Because next week might just be a nightmare.
