Oh no Rachel Leigh Cook. Oh no.
I do like the obvious use of an old Toys R Us building for authenticity.
Missed opportunity to not include Nick Lutsko.
I’d rather watch a 2hr movie of that.
No tears for Christopher Lloyd?
No crap. God is dead if Nick isn’t at the forefront of any Spirit Halloween endeavor from now until his demise (or even, perhaps more appropriately, after).
There’s a Spirit Halloween that started setting up shop 2 weeks ago inside an abandoned furniture store. These guys are ruthless.
Anyway I watched Justice League two times (shame on me) so I’ll watch this.
Boyz on bikes getting a little trite?
Shouldn’t they show them playing Atari 2600 too?
She’s All Broke
He’s been doing dreck for decades. I see him all the time in garbage productions.
I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw Rachel Leigh Cook.
There was a profile of her a little while ago in the NY Times I think. She fully stopped acting for a while, and only she did small movies that were produced by her friends and family, and only really started trying to act again in earnest a couple years ago.
Kids still use bikes to get around even today, so it would be weird if movies just stopped depicting this.
Looking forward to the 2050s nostalgia flicks, with kids zipping around on electric razor scooters.
OH YEAH
Ha ha, I watched Spirit Halloween.
As far as a kid friendly Halloween movie went it was… fine? Utterly forgettable and inoffensive. Despite it mainly being set in a Spirit Halloween they didn’t go too overboard with the branding or promotion. It was simply a setting. Hell, the extras they got to play store employees nailed the “seasonal retail worker” role by looking like they’d rather be dead than spend another minute in this movie.
He’s only physically in the movie for the first minute or so - in a scene set well in the past no less - and then has the occasional voice line. Since he never interacts with the main cast I’m sure it was a day’s work at most. It reminded me of the Bruce Willis thread where we all laughed at the “geezer teaser” action movies. I got geezer teased by Spirit Halloween!
