Before anybody posts again about Rob Zombie's Halloween read this book:
http://www.amazon.com/After-Babel-As...3468199&sr=1-1
It is highly relevant to the issues expressed in this thread.

I thought it was going to be something by you when I clicked the link. :p

I know you did. Thank you for clicking anyway. Alas, I am not a world famous linguist but rather an unpopular novelist. As soon as I have the energy, I will look over that book and compose a tiresome article on the hermeneutics of remakes that I will have just to post on my blog because I hope to God nobody would publish something so dull but so necessary.

Zombie needed to handle that scene very delicately. It was one of the centerpoints of his movie. Somehow it doesnt fit into the overall picture and leaves a question mark.

A question mark with a really easy answer:


He's a psychopath... Naturally he's unpredictable. If someone I loved stabbed me with a huge ass knife i'd be pissed off too. And even after that, it didn't really seem like he was trying to 'kill' her, just get her back. (Unless i'm forgetting a detail). He tackled her out the window, but that almost seemed like self defense. If he wanted to kill her right then he could have easily just thrown her out the window.


Also, I realize this is an old post, i'm just reading bits and pieces.
