the difference between jam and jelly...

You're gonna have to watch "Halloween 2" to get the answer to that one. I was so pumped to finally see Rob Zombie's newest flick and without any doubt, it was the bloodiest movie he's made yet. Darker, as well. Its awesome to see because its so obvious that he has really refined his point of view. I mean, he's always had one, its just that with each movie it becomes a little more apparent and he's becoming better at how he wants to present things and what the viewers finally see. As a wannabe photographer, I love watching other people with a strong visual sense make progess and see how they communicate the visions that are in their head and bring them to life.

Even cooler was that Lori Strode's character evolved from the first Halloween to what she is in this one. Come on, if you were almost killed by some 7 foot tall fucker wearing a scary-ass mask, you'd be fucked up too. And she is. Everything from her skinny and almost junkie-like appearance to the shit hole bathroom and bedroom she calls hers. Sleeping with a Charlie Manson poster that is 7' x 5' above your bed is not normal! And I know this because for three years I had a big ass Sid and Nancy portrait above my bed and I was totally batshit. At any rate, that bitch can scream and cuss like a midwestern trucker. I love Scout Taylor-Compton and can't wait to see what else she does. Hopefully she'll pick some more hardcore shit and stay away from romantic comedies, trendy "Mean Girls" type movies or anything that doesn't involve four letter words and dead things.
