JoBlo took a break from printing fantastical nerd letters and pulled an old Rob Zombie interview that sorta makes him look like an ass.
I haven't been covering Zombie-related news lately, mainly because a remake of Halloween sounded really boring, but also because Rob Zombie is in his forties and still dresses like a goth kid. Oh, and he still uses the last name "Zombie", which would only be cool if he married an annoying yuppie bitch and had a kid named "Aiden Zombie". But I digress…
Here’s what Zombie said [back in 2002] in reaction to be asked what he thought of remaking TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE:
"I feel it's the worst thing any filmmaker can do. I actually got a call from my agent and they asked me if I wanted to be involved in a remake of CHAINSAW. I said no fucking way! Those movies are perfect — you're only going to make yourself look like an asshole by remaking them. Go remake something that's a piece of shit and make it good. Like with my movie I have elements of CHAINSAW in it because I love that movie so much, but I wouldn't dare want to "remake" it. It's like a band trying to be another band."
I remade a piece of shit into an ashtray once, I thought I made it look pretty good. Sometimes I put them in the freezer for later space docking use. There's always that.

I liked the Halloween remake. AND the Chainsaw remake. Seriously, they're fucking horror mivies, not John Waters or Uwe Boll classics. What the fuck do we really expect?
I like ginger bread cookies. Alot.
Hey, you guy's wanna seem me pull a tapeworm out of my ass???
Damn, I'm the only one here…………
I really do love me some ginger bread cookies though. LOVE.
Anybody wanna make sweet love to my stinky, dried out eye socket??? I got KY…… like, ALOT of it!!!!

FIRST!!!!!! Nope, it just doesn't do it for me….

You think Rob Zombie's agent's name is like, Keith Frankenstein?
Keep in mind that I never actually watched the original Halloween movie, but I thought this new one was pretty damn good. And that is looking at it all by itself. Not like The Devils Rejects. Devils Rejects was able to seem good for one reason: House of 1000 corpses just plain throated. So, in conclusion, Devils Rejects only looks good when placed next to House of 1000 Corpses, otherwise, it sucked too. Someone had to say it. Living on the edge.
I think I should change my nombre to "opinionHated". Quickly too, before someone steals it.
What a bad of douche! The guy is wearing a flannel shirt, goth boots and designer jeans? I know he didnt just step in a big puddle of bleach. Well, maybe he did. Bleach is good at cleaning up blood. He's so dark he probably has blood all over stuff all the time. Cuz, ya know, he's evil so he kills stuff. So, I could see how bleach might come in contact with his jeans.
One thing I did notice: He seemed to continually rip-off slipknot masks thru-out this movie. But for me it kinda just added to the coolness of the whole thing. It completely slipped my mind that he isn't a member of slipknot. Tsk Tsk Mr. Zombie
i love the fact that you made a Space Docking tag Lance. I'll be keeping an eye on that one let me tell u ;)
In his defense he did say he saw no reason to remake the Chainsaw massacre films. Not any horror films. Perhaps he considers the original Halloween one of the pieces of shit that needed to be remade good. I personaly think he failed since I found his version of Halloween just as boring and unwatchable as the first.
pfffh…hypocrite? yes. waaaay past his prime? yes. all of his songs sound the same and now he is doing the same thing with his movies? you betcha. fuck rob zombie and the dropped-D 2 chord buzzsaw riffs he rode into fame.
also…look at the pic…damn, what, is he trying to immitate Mic Foley or what?
On the plus side, at least Zombie is no longer a white guy with dreads…that should count for something…maybe he's learned the error of his ways?
I'm a bit of a horror film buff and personally, I think Rob has put out some of the best horror films in the last decade. I know a lot of people hate them, which kind of makes me like them even more. I'm weird like that. And one more thing, just as long as he keeps getting his wife to show her ass in his films…I will buy the ticket and take the ride.
Rob Zombie and my twelve year old self have a lot in common.
He probably has Iron Maiden posters in his room that are stuck to the wall with that blue sticky gum stuff. Just like my twelve year old self.
Can I buy your as(s)htray Lance?
I'll send that piece of shit to iROBotherpeoplesmoviesandturnthemtoshit Zombie.
Rob Zombie is a powerful God! It is insolent to mock him!
NOT AS INSOLENT AS BEING FEK'LHR OF KLINGON!
ZombieLohan-The Mighty Fek'lhr accepts your offer of a handjob. The answer is 42.
Fek'lhr shall become angered if this thread with the Mighty Rob Zombie does not stay bumped!
The Mighty Fek'lhr is only marginally jealous of The All-Powerful Rob Zombie's shoes.
The Mighty Fek'lhr might have Rob Zombie direct His Garfield/Scoutmaster snuff film.
The All Powerful Rob Zombie agrees with The Mighty Feklahr that Gah is in fact best served live.
