Week 8: Halloween edition

Halloween 2018, well first of all I saw it in theaters and it was pretty solid for a that type of movie, (side note probably my last movie pass movie unless I walk into the wrong theater a couple times) I think it did an injustice to the original timeline by not including Halloween 2 in the timeline. It would have fit almost perfectly, details like having eyes are not important, plus Micheal is pure evil and immune to bullets. Now there are lot of bad decisions made in the Halloween movies post Halloween 2 but not going to get into that just yet especially since there is some fantasy football to discuss.

Now looking at the divisions you can see that all the teams that are over .500 are in the same division after 8 weeks. There are lot of .500 teams so there does not look to be a big sell-off leading to the trade deadline. I think it is safe to say the surprise tea, is lead by Mr. Bacon, though with Bell coming back at some point might hurt Connors production. Roger finds himself a game behind his division leader Chris.

Chris was defeated by Ty Montgomery who not only fumbled away the Packers chance for victory but Chris as well as Rodger TD on that drive would have won him the game. Frank continued his tradition of benching people who score 20 or more points but despite, my stupidity was able to pull of the victory.

Ryan was able to claw within a game of his division lead by defeating Steve 120- 76.  Wahoo, for Watkins and Boyd. Steve did not get a monster game from BArkley and like the Giants was unable to find victory this week. Now the Giants, come on please don't bench Eli, let him be the QB for the next 5 to 10 years. I think that is the only right thing to do.

Brendan was able to defeat Doug 117-89 and okay, I am watching Halloween 5 and I can't get over how dumb it is to kill Rachel off, makes no sense, we just saw her struggle through Halloween 4 has an easy out and the mother should have stayed dead. Actually, I don't think they ever show the body so it is only implied the attack killed her but she toughed out other attacks. Umm, yeah Doug is currently in last but like Mike he just keeps on coming and coming.

Connor knocked off Dan behind 28 points from Marlon Mack. Mack for Gordon seems to be a real steal for Mr. Dowd. If only he didn't trade away that top pick for 2 6ths, but I guess he had to end up on the right side of a trade sooner or later.

Rich had another dominating performance defeating Alex who abandoned his Mexican demon for a drunk Irish professor who can't remember what he had for breakfast. The good news is the Rams players might not play the last 3 weeks at this rate, the bad news is Rich has a deep enough bench that he might be able to survive that.


Now some more Halloween thoughts:
There is only one real risk when facing Micheal Myers and that is a surprise attack. The guy never runs, does not use projectiles and while he knows how to drive he never runs anyone over. It is all his hands. The best way to survive would be to simply find him and jog ahead 12-20 feet and then walk at the same pace keeping an eye on him so he can't turn off and surprise you when you lose sight of him. Now if he decides to run say this is not consistent with the movies, stop the filming, I only want to be in a movie that fits with the continuity.

Now growing up one of my favorite things to do on Halloween was to watch the Halloween movies on AMC, well I still do that but it has lead to many different thoughts about the movies and since I did the candy power rankings last year and Brendan hit us with the made up ones today I am going to rank the movies. (I was going to do costumes but that is just to broad and narrow since most women costumes are the same, except different color these days)

12. Halloween 3 season of the witch- No Micheal last place, simple as that. The movie wasn't even that suspensful, shame the mask went boom and killed half the kids.
11. Rob Zombie's Halloween 2- Now this movie is the only time my father has demanded we change the channel because the movie was unwatchable. To many flashing lights, stupid ghosts plot and horrible acting and poor choice of female lead.
10 Rob Zombie Halloween- See the above factors, I don't want my pure evil killers having a emotional backstory of abuse.
9. Halloween 6- Curse of MM- Now speaking of backstory that I do not need the whole cult of thorn stuff horrible addition to the story. No need, less backstory for your unstoppable killer the better.
8. Unmade sequel to the movie that just came out. Make that much movie in the first 3 weeks and you know a sequel is coming out and it is going to be better than the ones above this, hopefully.
7. H20- no not water but Halloween 20 years. I like the concept but it killed off the fun that is halloween 4 and 5 so it gets push done, boo recons, also I did not like the son in the movie.
6. Halloween Resurrection- yes it kills the ending of H20 which hurts H20 more than this movie but it is done with a tone that is obviously supposed to be more funny than thrilling but still the suspenseful like the other movies. IT gets a few laughs and is the easiest to fit in with any time line just say it was all fake the whole time everything was really stage.
5. Halloween 2- Solid sequel, I like that it wraps everything up pretty well, burn the unkillable monster since bullets do not work. Very enjoyable
4. Halloween 2018- Now it is a good movie but there some issues like killing off the attractive girl very early in the movie. I thought there was some very funny parts but I won't write about them since you all should see the movie, wahoo for AMC a list
3. Halloween 5 The revenge of MM- There are things to not like about this movie, they make some interesting decisions but I like the interplay between MM and Jamie Loyd. MM also gets some great action in this movie and shows why you never talk in strangers off the the street. Also the cops are really dumb, halloween 4 happened a year earlier and they did not find him the house at the beginning of the movie.
2. Halloween 4- I really like the part where they are in the cabin and they lock it down but he gets in and you turn the man around in the chair and he is dead, gets me every time. Then the fight on the house also great. 
1. Halloween- man, how can you not get a chill when you hear that music. I think it provides the best moments and the most oh gosh what is going to happen. For a movie made in the 70s definitey still watchable.
