main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

Remember ages ago when I said Freema did an interview talking about Martha and what she was and wasn't happy with in regards to the story? I found it!

Transcript:

Interviewer: ...Do you still think about her? How do you think about Martha in the year 2019.

Freema: Ah yeah I just did a convention with David [Tennant] recently actually and he said something that um, I hadn't heard before, and he was asked about that relationship between the two chatacters and he said 'I think that the Doctor wasn't fair on her' and I sorta looked at him and I was like...I've never heard your take on that before because I knew at the time you know she was...for me there was definitely a kind of beat that they struck on that stayed maybe a little bit too long. It was the unrequited storyline an I think they stopped exploring her as a fully rounded human being in light of that and Russell [T. Davies] did say you know, it's important to him though that people can sometimes see that...you know love doesn't always have to be reciprocated and it's okay to kind of...most of us probably have that in common that we have unreciprocated...emotions than reciprocated and I was like no that's cool I get that but people also tune in for escapism and for romance and all of the magic and the, you know, the imagination so sometimes to be like grounded back down into hard truth isn't very attractive. *Laughs* So I kind of felt like she got stuck a little bit amd when people ask me if if I would go back it would only be to explore her as a fully rounded person more and she had so much going on and then it got stuck for whatever reason. But I had the best time and I feel like there's so much more potential to that person.

[NINTH] DOCTOR: Why have we stopped? Someone walking in from the dark.

[Footsteps.]

DOCTOR: Am I being saved? Who's that? Who's there?

OTHER [NINTH] DOCTOR: Oh! Hello, Doctor.

DOCTOR: Ah, alright, so. This is a very, very bad sign.

OTHER DOCTOR: Very bad. I'd call it a hallucination. Except I reckon it's more a proximity alarm for impending death.

DOCTOR: That sounds like something I'd say. Fair enough. We're in trouble, aren't I?

OTHER DOCTOR: Yeah. Can't hold out much longer. You're very close to regenerating, and it's not on.

DOCTOR: I'm really annoyed with myself, if I'm honest.

OTHER DOCTOR: Agreed, me too. So, that's why I'm here. To raise the issue of... the thing. The alternative. The plan B.

DOCTOR: B for really bad? B for boneheaded? Come on, it's far too risky, if it doesn't work-

OTHER DOCTOR: If it goes wrong, we give up twice as much. If it goes wrong, the incorporation doesn't just rise from the dead, they rise from the dead in my body. They get to walk around for the entirety of recorded time looking like the Doctor, sounding like the Doctor-

DOCTOR: I've already told myself this a hundred times, so get to the point, mate.

OTHER DOCTOR: The point is: it's the only option left.

DOCTOR: Apart from-

OTHER DOCTOR: Don't go there.

DOCTOR: Apart from denying the regeneration.

OTHER DOCTOR: No! Don't. You. Dare.

DOCTOR: Well, perhaps it's better to just call it a day. I had a good old go at it, didn't I? I saved the universe once or twice.

OTHER DOCTOR: But they say saving the universe is a bit like democracy, if you're doing it right, it's never done!

DOCTOR: (Scoffs) Who said that?

OTHER DOCTOR: Someone scared? Someone trying to distract themselves? Someone who wasn't getting on with what they're supposed to be-

DOCTOR: Alright. Alright, shut up. I'm doing it!

[The DOCTOR screams.]

DOCTOR: QUID PRO QUO!

SECOND INCORPORATION: What did you say?

DOCTOR: Quid pro quo.

FIRST INCORPORATION: He wants to do a deal.

like i can not stress enough despite my issues with some things how much i respect russell t davies for getting the opportunity to write an anniversary special for one of The british pieces of media ever now of all times and deciding that the importance of loving and caring for trans children would be integral to it. you can save millions of people all you need to do is love your trans daughter more than anything in the world.

s1 doctor who (2005) is so special to me. they had the budget of a potato. a dustbin eats a guy and burps in the pilot. it only really picks up around ep 5. nine in his jacket. rose in her peak dumbass era. the special effects that are just so bad so awful so terrible. the introduction of captain jack harkness the world was never the same. are you my mummy? what do you mean the time lords are dead doctor what the fuck do you mean you killed them all. bad wolf? bad wolf? fucking iconic.

there's an interesting thing rtd said from the commentary about the "real mom" line:

i get not liking the line but like. it's an intentional mistake and an intentional character choice, and something we'll return to in the future, and that seems like important context to have when talking about the episode.
