Good News...Bad News.

My sources tell me that Lion's Gate Films has bought the rights to distribute Rob Zombie's House of 1,000 Corpses. About fucking time? Well yes, of course.

They will release the R rated version in theatre's in the US, and the real version in countries that arent' afraid of penises on film. We will also get the uncut version on DVD and VHS...eventually.

The bad news is that we may well have to wait another year to see it. I am told by a gal at horrormoviefans that it will not be relased until Oct of 2003.

They must know its the only thing keeping me alive...

Dude, how "horrifying" is this movie that they haven't been able to find distribution for it? I mean, it's got a guaranteed audience, they're sure to recoup some profit on it.

**forgive the "dude", it's a bad habit**

Better late than never. I'll probably wait for the uncut DVD.

Uncut?

The penises or the fim?

Actually, that was a joke in refeence to Eyes Wide Shut, as the good ol' free US is the only country int the world that had to change Kubricks film before release.

But I beleive it is the film that will be cut, as you can't generally get an R rating with a Penis...

Is that funny? I can't tell.

I don't think I can. I was planning to break into Rob's House to get a copy. Luckily, they showed the whole layout on Mtv's Cribs.

But if you want to count all 1,000 Corpses, I'm sure you'll have to get the uncut version.

Actually that's the point. When Universal dropped it they claimed it was due to a "visceral intensity that we had not envisioned in the original script.". It was too scary, disturbing, and gory to get an R rating... "Too Scary!"

"Dude" is totally fine. just don't go all crazy with Ebonics on me...or I may have to "bust" a "cap" in your "dome".

We'll see if it actually comes out. It's just my opinion but I don't think it's really going to be all that great. I'm still waiting for Run Ronnie Run.

Why on Earth wouldn't it be great?
