James Bond, except for the most recent entry, is overrated. It's simply
ridiculous, and I can't see anything good in it. To many long chases
and silly stunts. How it got that way from its humble beginnings is
amazing.
STAR WARS, of course, is a big children's morality tale. It does try
hard, though, to be important with all sorts of psuedo-religious talk
and grand conspiracies. Spectacular snoozer.
Halloween. Cheesy attempts at frights, but there's never a really tense
moment for me. Mostly it's, like, whoever is the person having the most
fun is the next to get the knife.
Friday the 13th. For years, Halloween and Friday the 13th were so
interchangeable, I'd get them mixed up. In fact, I might have them
mixed up right now. They vary only slightly in theme. If at all.
