I was just wondering. 'Cause you see, a bit from the Bloody Buttons was of course based off a scene from that first remake, that is...before the rest of the movie when it began to suck.
I'm really drawing influence for Coraline's killer side from Anton Chigurh, but also influences such as Michael Myers, etc.
There was definitely one thing above all that made the remake almost unbearable; the excessive foul language. Now be it from me to condemn the use of bad language, mostly everyone uses it in everyday life casually like "God Damn it!" or "Fuck", but the way Rob Zombie uses it in almost every sentence in the film is just, well...stupid. I mean, I did like the fact they were trying to take the Michael Myers story and make it more realistic (whilst the orginal was more standard horror, boogey-man sort of thing), but it's like, come on, no one in real life swears/speaks to the excessive and vulgar point that almost every character in that film does. The logical guess is that it was done all for shock value, because when someone calls eggs "chicken abortions" you can tell they're desperate to make you gasp, "Why I never-!!" Of course, it all falls flat on its ass, because after hearing "fuck" a hundred times before the film's halfway point, it's lost its effect ages ago.
Well, actually, there is one other thing that drives me up the wall with this film: every character is a fucking JERK! There is not ONE likeable character in either of these remakes. Hell, they even make Loomis kind of a jerk in the sequel as well. And it really PISSES me off how everyone who ends up Michael's next victim so IDIOTICALLY underestimates what a fucking dangerous PSYCOPATH he is. It's like, "Oh, he only brutally murdered three people, no big deal, let's fuck around with him!" It just fascinated me how almost no one, besides Loomis, regardes him as a threat during his incarciration and after he ESCAPES!
I mean it's just...just...stupid, STUPID!
Sorry...phew, that was a long rant.
