Rob Zombie Defends Halloween Remake


From moviesonline, 'Halloween has gone through the ringer in the last few days as a bunch of blogs run news that the new film is not true to the original. I think that is a blogs job. I think people should speak their minds, put filmmakers on the spot and more importantly help mold filmmaking. It does work. That said I got mad kudo's for filmmakers that dont just sit back and have their films, in this case a film that isnt even made yet, lambasted. Here is Rob zombie's response to earlier criticism of his film by AICN's.
"I notice that so many people get crazy when someone you don't even know posts an opinion about what they think HALLOWEEN will or won't be. This is crazy. Do you really go through life influenced by the thoughts of others that easily?

Anyway, things change so much in a movie, from moment to moment, from second to second that all I can say is : see it for yourself and figure out if you like it or not. Really who gives a fuck what someone else thinks? Everybody likes different shit for differenet reasons. But deciding that you hate or love something that doesn't even exsist yet? Well, that a little ridiculous."'

Oh, that is wishy washy BULLSHIT, Zombie. What a crap defense: "the internet is stupid." Trying to make some issue-dodging point about individual choice, stupid fucking biker hippie...it's the information society, idiot! Answer the damn question!

Sorry, but nothing irks me more than someone thinking they're putting out the final word on something when they aren't. Mr. Zombie offers no defense of the ideas from his script, but merely an accusation to his detractors that they can't possibly form opinions based on the written word, and that their capacity for individual thought is in question. Then he implies that he should be allowed to make his bad movie unmolested and then YOU can go pay to see it and then render a proper opinion. This from a guy who's supposedly championing individual choice.
