A Right-Wing Halloween
NRO ^ | 18 Oct 2018 | Kyle Smith

Posted on 10/18/2018 6:09:49 PM PDT by Rummyfan

In which evil gets its due and there is no feel-good lesson to be learned, except one: Guns protect you.

The world is not a dark and evil place,” insists an exasperated woman played by Judy Greer in Halloween. “It’s full of love and understanding!”

I put the question to the class: Is she right?

In the new film (not a reboot but a sequel that occurs 40 years after the events in the 1978 original and ignores all intervening Halloween movies), the woman, a mom named Karen, is forever grumbling about her Parris Island–style upbringing. Her mother is Laurie Strode, played once again by Jamie Lee Curtis. Laurie has excellent reason to suspect the presence of dark and evil in the world, and she taught her daughter from a young age about firearms, the fallen nature of man, the failures of the state, the blessings of rugged individualism, and the collected works of Russell Kirk. Okay, maybe not that last part, but still: Halloween is a gung-ho, gun-loving, liberal-trolling, capital-punishment-backing conservative manifesto in the format of a slasher flick. It’s the kind of movie where if someone says he’d rather have dance lessons than shooting practice, he’ll soon be corrected.

Isn't Jamie Curtis a notorious pinko?

(I can understand why she may not want to do the semi-nude scenes she once relished anymore.)

What you mean, “her age”?

Born in ‘5; she’s a young thing.

Twenty or thirty years ago, feminists would've been happy to see women "empowered" with guns (like Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2, for example); gun control now trumps women's right to bear arms for the left.

She supposedly loves guns, but wants to ban “assault” weapons, hates gun control but loves gun safety, and loves Hillary but hates Donald Trump.

and the collected works of Russell Kirk.

As someone who knew Dr. Kirk a bit, I can tell you that that is the best part.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie! definitely didn’t operate on the radical right. It had hints of standing up to abusers albeit with weapons when pure evil is right in front of you. There is no time to “understand” it. I recommend it.

So, this is just a new version of Terminator 2 and Jamie Lee Curtis is playing the role of Sarah Conner.

It would have been better if Michael Myers was wearing a Trump Mask.

The Liberals in the Audience would have died of Fright.
