Herner Klenthur » great comments. I for one am a fan of Rob Zombies and our article on his quitting the horror genre 'for now' is quite clear. I am not sure why you object to it.

The Liberal Dead (@theliberaldead) » Rob Zombie's "undoing" came long before he even hinted at remaking Halloween. Fake people bash popular things for the attention that comes with doing so. Rob Zombie and Eli Roth are probably the two most popular "new" genre directors, and you can't mention either of their names without said fake people coming out of the woodworks. It's also worth noting that, even though it was reported on this site previously(as well as 30 others) that Rob Zombie had announced he was leaving the horror genre, that he never actually said that. He said he was taking a break while tackling some other projects he was working on. I read the original interview, and I don't know why, three to four weeks later, so many sites tried to pass that off as "news". I guess to farm web hits.

heather » The first film was meh, buy I absolutely loved the 2nd. Much more intense(and slightly hilarious). That poor infant lol

Vamps » Yeah, I thought so too. I mean, the reasons Carl stated later about why he shot the kid were wrong. But, I think the action was right. I would have shot that kid, too, if I had been Carl. Not because I needed to prove myself in some way, but instead because handing over a weapon and dropping it are NOT the same things. He steadily refused to drop his gun, instead continually trying to hand it over to Carl who was not in a position to take it from him and still keep his own gun easily and steadily trained. That might not have been why Carl shot him, by Carl's own admission, but it would be why *I* would definitely have shot that kid. It was the smart and safe choice to make, even if maybe not the moral one. He didn't know that kid and had no idea what that kid's intentions were, no way to gauge him by past behavior. All he knew was that that kid had been part of the group that attacked the prison and tried to kill everybody there. And now he's refusing to let go of his weapon and drop it on the ground. He had no way of knowing that the kid wasn't trying to just get Carl into a position where he could overpower him and gain control of Carl's gun as well as his own and possibly use Carl a as a hostage to control the other two people there. And during a close-contact struggle anybody trying to shoot the kid would have to risk shooting Carl, too. Maybe that kid really didn't have any intention of trying to get the better of Carl, maybe he really was trying to surrender. But he made a stupid move by not immediately dropping his gun and spending the ample time he was given to do so attempting to hand it over instead. Unfortunately, due to that stupid move he died. But, it was his own fault, as harsh as it might be to say it. The world has changed, giving people the benefit of the doubt just because of their age or situation is a good way to get killed when you live in a perpetual war zone where even the dead are out to kill you. Pretending that isn't the case is tantamount to having a death wish. I admit, Carl later did give some reasons for why he acted the way that he did and those were not the right reasons for the action he took. But, that doesn't make the action itself wrong. I think he did the smart thing, even if he did it for the wrong reasons. I can't begrudge his actions, but I can begrudge his later-stated reasoning. The debate going on over it, though, does definitely raise the question of when something becomes murder and when it's just simply self-defense or duty. Do the intentions behind the actions count, or does the situation itself overrule all else? And is there even a one-size-fits-all answer to that question?

Paul Reeves » I love it!
