Whoever made that Butthead on meth quote struck gold. I died.
Call it poetic justice. The ridicule that the character has had to endure in the buildup to this move has been redeemed as far as I'm concerned. Dafoe has the last laugh, especially now that his comments about the franchise have been validated as well.
I'd love to hear what he thinks about the new Harry and Norman, specifically.
Is that supposed to mean that what we got in this movie is in some way
pardoned? The you used the word 'either' tells me that you concede that this iteration of the character was trash as well. The difference between now and 2002 is that Sam Raimi and Willem Dafoe didn't have a cinematic blueprint to tell them what does and doesn't work. If anything, it's shameful that the character was butchered so badly all these years later.
