I mean, Henry: POASK is a heartless film - but in a way that makes a deep and resonating (if disturbing point) but FDTD was heartless and pointless. I think, for me, the rape/slaughter scene near the beginning was harsh - but then the film became a cartoon and I couldn't feel sorry for QT's character (even though I felt the film was portraying him as a protagonist). - oh, and I generally hate George Clooney (although Goodnight and Good Luck was BRILLIANT).
and, Maggie is right ( as always), House of 1000 Corpses is dreadful - but I chalk that up to incompetence rather than heartlessness.

Fair enough...at least you have reasons, and therefore you're perfectly entitled to hate it. I enjoyed it, though.
And I'm a House of 1K Corpses fan. :) I love it.
So I suck... shoot me in the head.
