Any time! I love nerding out about stuff like this :) I was a huge fan of Horror films and books when I was younger, so this was like a nice nostalgic trip for me. If you end up watching it and have any thoughts I’d love to hear them.

What an amazing fucking hypocrite you are. It’s not surprising, it’s what liberals are good at.

You are so quick to blame the Left for your Performative Pig not winning the election, but take no responsibility whatsoever for putting that piece of shit on the ballot in the first place. Before that it was a senile old man you were convinced was going to save us. You guys are the ones blaming everyone but yourselves.

You’d rather burn the country down and have people fight the fight you want

It’s you that keep on spouting the lie that Leftists are just sitting around waiting on a bunch of fucking Libs to fight for us. Literally no one has said that but you. That makes perfect sense, seeing as how the Libs haven’t done jack shit other than put ‘Vote Blue No Matter Who’ bumper stickers on their cars and going into a booth once every 4 years so they can get the coveted “I voted” badge of honor.

It makes even more sense considering the libs done everything in their power to ensure that it’s only the cops and military that actually have effective weapons to fight with. All you can do is capitulate, lick boots, and act as if inanimate objects are the problem and not the capitalist pigs you keep voting for, so of course we are just sitting around expecting you cowards to actually fight when the time comes. /s because I’m sure you need it spelled out for you.

If and when peacefully protesting inevitably fails and it comes time to defend ourselves, you can bet your ass it will be Leftists doing the fighting while the Blue losers are writing strongly worded letters to their senators and cowering in their basements.

you wouldn’t even walk to the voters booth and vote against literal nazis.

And again with the blaming everyone but yourself bullshit. FYI I and most other Leftists by an large did show up to vote for the lesser evil because unlike libs, we are willing to do harm reduction in the sort term, while still possessing the ability to look down the road and see whats coming. You guys want to take the one or two people online who didn’t vote and use them to blame the entire left for your failure to get a candidate that could actually win against literal Nazis on the ballot.

So pat yourself on the back for ‘doing your part’ by voting for a pro slavery cop instead of Hitler 2, it sure really saved all us Lefties who were waiting for our blue saviors to help us. Oh wait, it didn’t do shit.

Are you seriously unable to differentiate between someone saying that we shouldn’t be so quick to take violence off the table, and “I have a plan and the means to immediately begin using violence this second?”

Violence and Non Violence are tools, you don’t throw out your screwdriver when you get a hammer and you don’t try hammering in a screw without trying the screwdriver first.

You can prefer to resolve things peacefully while recognizing that it likely won’t work at the same time.

If someone says 'I think all people should have healthcare" do you respond with 'Go become a Doctor then!"

The far left are pussies for not taking action, and the Liberals are far worse because they are half the reason we are in this mess. Y’all want to prop up Capitalism and Corporations, this is what you get. It doesn’t matter if you asked the ruling class to play nice with the power you handed them or not, it’s not our fault you are so naive.

So, our conversation got me intrigued enough to actually rewatch it. Yes, Dwight is in it, I had no idea. Crazy to see him looking so young. Also staring the great Walton Goggins as a deputy sheriff and Chris Hardwick who I had totally forgotten about.

I don’t think I’ve actually seen the 3rd movie myself. I wasn’t too impressed with ‘The Devils Rejects’ tbh.

As far as the supernatural elements go, I could see it interpreted either way honestly. When they lower Jerry and Denise into Dr. Satan’s lair, there are some what look like they could be zombies breaking them out of the coffin, before disappearing under the water, but they could also be some of the mental patients Dr.Satan was experimenting on. It seems like if they were zombies they wouldn’t have halted the attack, but it really makes little sense either way.

The way I interpreted it was that Dr. Satan didn’t just ‘experiment’ on the mental patients and victims that the Firefly family had been providing him, but on himself and Earl (his ‘assistant’) as well. I did a little research and some people describe them as ‘Cyborg Demons’ and some just use their names.

I’m pretty sure Dr. Satan was an actual human at one point at least, if his backstory can be belived. When Earl pulls off his ‘gas mask’ he definitely doesn’t look very human, but he is supposedly Mother Firefly’s husband and Tiny’s father. So he was probably human at one point himself. Maybe they got their demonic appearances by being possessed, by ‘cosmetic’ surgery or some combination of the two.

One story has it that Rob Zombie pitched the idea for the movie to Universal without having a script, the name came from a Haunted House attraction that he had done for Universal Studios, and he just sort of made some shit up. After they Ok’d the project he went home and banged out a script. By writing this post I probably put more thought into the story than the did lol.

Another thing I learned was that after the shooting, Universal dropped the project because they were sure it would get an NC-17 rating, and it took him another a few years to find a distributor. By the time he had, a lot of the original footage had been lost so he had to do some creative editing to get a somewhat coherent film and to get an R rating. I’m not sure if the original plot made more sense or not, but I kinda doubt it :)

One other interesting bit I found was an interview with Zombie by bloody-disgusting.com

Which raises the question, of course, of whether Dr. Satan’s appearance in House of 1,000 Corpses was ever real at all. We asked Rob Zombie where he stood on an ending that seemed straightforward, but which now, after a retcon, looks like it may all have been a dream.

“I left it so that it could be whatever,” Zombie said. “Is it real? Is it probably just the girl, that Denise, after a long night of being tortured and watching all of her friends killed, maybe she just went cuckoo and was imagining all these crazy things? You know, I thought for that film it’s best just leave it as however people want to interpret it.”

I’m not sure if that was his original intention, or if that is how he views it in light of the sequels,

I kind of don’t want to watch it again in case it doesn’t hold up.

I think it holds up pretty well for what it is. I view it as an homage to the all great ‘B’ grade horror movies of the 70’s and 80’s (which often made little sense themselves) and shot like a feature length music video. It’s just silly/gruesome fun.

I stand corrected. I’ll have to give it a rewatch at some point. I remember thinking it was a decent flick

Thanks, I hope the same for you :)

Hello my baby, Hello my Honey, Hello my Ragtime gal

Either your reading comprehension is severely lacking, or you are just looking for a fight. Whatever your deal is I hope you get better.

It definitely gets weird towards the end and I think it’s meant to be sorta ambiguous/ open to interpretation.

From what I can recall (it’s been a while) and from watching the sequels, I think Otis and Co were just psycho rednecks, but I could be wrong about that.

Otis Driftwood from House of 1000 Corpses. He has no supernatural powers.

I have lived around crazy rednecks all my life (Indiana and Florida). Pretty sure I could outwit 1 crazy redneck, and with 3 Billion I could afford to finally escape this hellhole.

I think I get it, thanks for taking the time to explain.

With 10/2 there are two buckets, and 10/1 there is 1, so with 10/0 I was wrong to phrase it as there is a ‘bucket with nothing in it’, it should be ‘there is no bucket, so you can’t put anything in the bucket, even if you wanted to.’ Right?

I don’t understand why you can’t divide by zero.

If you turn it into a word problem 10/1 could be stated as “If you have 10 things and put them in a bucket, how many things do you have in the bucket?”

10/2 becomes “If you have 10 things, and and put an equal amount of them in two different buckets, how many things are in each bucket?”

So, wouldn’t 10/0 become “If you have 10 things, and don’t put any of them into the bucket, how many things are in the bucket?”

I’m bad at math, go easy on me.

Spice is life

Yeah, the problem with Idiocracy is that it over plays the role of genetics and doesn’t differentiate between ignorance and stupidity.

Sure, genetics plays some role, but I’ve seen some very smart people that came from average parents and some very dumb people who came from smart parents.

Education plays a much bigger role than people give it credit for.

I feel like there are probably some very smart people out there who we don’t know about because of their lack of educational opportunities.

Pretty much my whole life (I’m 51) Americans have been talking about how bad our education system is compared to much of the world, yet nothing substantial was done about it. I think the current state of affairs is a reflection of that fact.

Before I read the last part of the sentence, I thought you were saying 6th graders couldn’t pick up on the nuances and biases on a package of Ramen, and I started to wonder what I had missed.

Anxiety is a hell of a thing.

Real humanitarians who will deliver the aid via sniper bullets to the forehead.

I think the bigger lie is you can live in New York City and almost never interact with a person of color, but ok.

No one tell them about livable minimum wages, strong unions, and ‘socialist’ policies. They would rather change their goals than to implement anything that might actually work.

They are only against federal control when it’s them who are being controlled. They are fine with it happening to other people. It’s how they can claim to be pro freedom out of one side of their mouth and anti-freedom with the other. Laws for thee, none for me.
