Hey, neverending's back! I heard your computer died and I was bummed for you. Glad your back on the horse.
I haven't been around much either. Been super busy on a project that I can't announce yet, but you guys are going to love it. Also had my second kid. She's cute and poops a lot.
Back to the topic at hand, I'm a Rob Zombie fan. Not an uber-fan, but I like all his movies, and have seen 1000 Corpses more times than any of them. I like NE's insight about rural attractions from the 50s and 60s. I probably would have begged my parents to stop at one of those.
I disagree with the notion that Zombie's stuff is all the same. I actually think they're all quite different, aside from them all being littered with F-bombs. Lords of Salem was his most mature effort, and least dependent on shocking, visceral violence. (Although those gross, ugly witches were a bit shocking.) I think this was his fulfillment of what he attempted in Halloween 2, spiraling the narrative down a rabbit hole of surrealism. Devil's Rejects was probably his most cohesive delivery, but I prefer Corpses' unique stream of consciousness style and black humor.
I'm looking forward to Zombie's upcoming movie about the Manson murders.
