I'll check it out again no doubt. I think I mainly watched it because people on here were goin on about the fight scene between George an Frank. That was pretty good.

I just thought that this film had a truely fantastic premise but failed to deliver on what could have been something truely fantastic. Not trying to knock it all I am saying is that it had the potential to be great.

I wonder if Roddy Piper served as any form of inspiration for Mickey Rourke for The Wrestler cos he did end up looking a fair bit like him in that movie.

That's awesome, Helen.

*Wanders off to see if he can get a ticket for the London gig...*

I'm really looking forward to the new album:

So that was one of the greatest nights of my life!!! Just wow!!! He played just about everything. My only disappointment was he didn't do Halloween 3. He chewed through the entire concert and fist pumped a lot [Big Grin] He put on sunglasses when he did They Live lol. Loved when he was like "I direct horror movies, I love horror movies, horror will last foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". Crowd went nuts [Big Grin]

Here's a couple of pics and his Christine joke, my first youtube vid [Razz]

That video was waaaaay to short... or maybe it's you that's too short?! Either way - that's the kind of night I would love to have gone to - and I'm not a concert person at all!

Ah... I can see that! People that have their phones raised throughout a concert aren't exactly focusing on the experience. I wish I'd been there!

Another good list there, you just can´t make a bad Carpenter list [Wink]

From John´s Facebook:

"So you say you want a Revolution?
You want to shake things up and bring back Halloween and make it rock again?

Well so do I.

So here’s the announcement you’ve all been waiting for:

David Gordon Green and Danny McBride are joining the project to complete the creative team. David and Danny will write the script together and David will direct. I will continue in my executive producer role to consult and offer my advice and feedback as needed.

David and Danny both came to my office recently with Jason Blum and shared their vision for the new movie and…WOW. They get it. I think you’re gonna dig it. They blew me away.

I might even do the music. Maybe. It could be kind of cool.

And you’ll get to see it in theaters on October 19th, 2018."

This has got to be one the hardest ever top 5 movie lists to compile as he's done so many great films!

probably would go something like this for me -

1.Halloween
2.Big Trouble in Little China
3.Escape From New York
4. The Thing
5.Christine

With honourable mentions to

They Live
Starman
Prince Of Darkness
Assault On Precinct 13
The Fog
The Ward - I quite enjoyed this fairly recent Carpenter horror.
In The Mouth Of Madness

Cool that in at least some form he is getting involved in the next Halloween outing!

PS. That concert must have been awesome Helen I wish I had seen it!
