okay, let's get this party started. 'halloween' was of course a masterpiece. no disputing it. loved 'big trouble in little china', loved 'the fog', loved 'escape from n.y.', heck i even loved halloween 3 which everyone hates, and carpenter didn't even direct. (like hell he didn't!)
i love his bizarre casting choices. roddy piper in 'they live'? (jezus! but it worked) james woods as a vampire killer? the 'simon & simon' guy with a mustache in 'prince of darkness'? that atkins guy with a mustache in 'the fog' and 'halloween 3' who nobody else in hell would ever give a starring role in a movie to? nobody! oh, and his creative use of kurt russell in clint eastwood type roles was incredibly ballsy. the thing? very very very good. i wish someone would explain some of it to me, but a really great film. but his best film? prince of darkness.
i said it, and i'm not taking it back!
