After my plans fell thru last night, Darion and I rallied and decided to catch a movie that we were both kinda interested in seeing and knew that if we didn’t see it together than we prolly wouldn’t've seen it at all … Halloween II. We’ve both heard bad things about it but, well, decided to see it anyways:

Ack, what a mistake that was. Nothing about Rob Zombie‘s remake of Halloween II even remotely resembles the much superior original film it is based on. While all the action takes place in the Haddonfield Memorial Hospital in the original film, the hospital scenes in the remake are relegated to a bad dream … and it gets worse from there. The movie is essentially an orgy of outrageous bloody violence with no story to speak of. Ghosts, white horses … bullcrap. Malcolm McDowell reprises his role as Dr. Loomis and makes me lose all respect for him in his film … it’s that bad. I find it very hard to believe that Rob Zombie calls himself a fan of the original Halloween movies and still create these horribly insulting “remakes”. I doubt I’ll ever see a Rob Zombie movie again … having been burned twice now, I think I’ve learned my lesson.

Tonight I’ll be at the first of the last four Nine Inch Nails shows of the Wave Goodbye Tour … tonight’s show is at the Hollywood Palladium:

It’s a bittersweet feeling … on the one hand, I’m excited to see NIN live again but … the shows are quickly coming to an end. Hopefully I’ll see many of you there tonight … and away we go!!
