The Devil's Rejects: Opening Day
Holy shit. What a COOL FUCKING FILM!!!
I attended the noon showing Matinee of The Devil's Rejects and was blown away. Rob Zombie has definitely out-done himself again. This film was 10 times more violent than House of 1000 Corpses, 10 times gorier, and 10 times more chaotic and fucked-up overall. Within the first 20 minutes, mothers were escorting their children outside the theater and within the first hour, fathers were taking their teen-age daughters out into the lobby, asking for a refund. This goes to show that the majority of parents out there are not familiar with Rob Zombie and the material he engrosses himself in, and should do their fucking homework before naively slapping down $20 for a pair of movie tickets. It has a heavy "R" rating for a reason.
Like a total Star Wars nerd, I showed up wearing a Devil's Rejects t-shirt I had purchased last week from Hot Topic. While I'm too old for the majority of the shit they sell, the occasional rock shirt or in this case movie shirt can easily appeal to my age group. Plus I betray my true age by at least 5 years since I've lost a shit load of weight and don't look like some fat bastard anymore, seriously. I'm clocking in at a slender 200 pounds down from 245 earlier this year, and have lost 8 inches off my waist. If only I put that 8 inches where it's really necessary ~! But to get back on track, I showed up 30 minutes before show time and the line was fucking long as hell. WTF? Is EVERYONE here to see the new film? Nope. It turns out the remake of the Bad News Bears starring Billy Bob Thornton had a similar show time and all these kids were clawing at the doors to get in. While I admired Billy Bob in Bad Santa, I can't see him being good material for a kid's movie, and even if he is perfect for the role, I'd rather see him cursing and drinking instead. Heh. I can easily see myself in 20 years like him in Bad Santa,and actually look forward to it.
I don't want to spoil the film for anyone out there, but I will say that the film sheds more light on the Captain Spaulding character played by Sid Haig, and the hot blonde with the big tits from Police Academy, Leslie Easterbrook, she plays the role of Mother Firefly, previously portrayed by Karen Black. What or why Karen didn't retain her role is her business, but Leslie Easterbrook does an excellent job in her stead. Also, I can see the fasincation I have with Banjo & Sullivan, the two country singers that are on the Devil's Rejects website.
Most of all, Sherri Moon Zombie, aka Baby is the main attraction. She is hella fucking hot and plays off Otis and Captain Spaulding characters extremely well. All I can say is that Rob Zombie is one lucky man to go home to that every night and would gladly trade places with him any day of the week. Hot chicks that know how to handle guns are especially cool in my book.
So listen. If you're bored this weekend or if your girlfriend is bitching that you never take her anywhere, take her to see this film. This will shut her up for the time being and chances are she won't say a word to you for the rest of the day as well, but at least you'll enjoy 1:45 of not having to listen to her bitch and whine. Granted you'll be sleeping on the couch that same night but every now and then you have to do things that remind you you're still a man.
So go out and see the film already!

Bro, Natural Born Killers can't hold a candle to it! It was good 10 years ago but now there's a new standard!
I wanna be Rob Zombie so bad right now too!
Calin you definitely have to see House of 1000 Corpses before seeing Devil's Rejects - otherwise alot of what's going on might not make sense.
