Lost respect for Rob after DVD commentary
I have been a huge fan of Rob Zombie's music, and especially his films for years.
House of 1000 Corpses has been consistently in my top 3 favorite movies since I first saw it in the theater.
I finally watched it with Rob's commentary, and.. wow.
Hearing the disrespect and disregard he had for anyone involved with filming that weren't principle actors was appalling.
He openly mocked the actual discomfort and pain that the women who played the cheerleaders, brushing it off casually. He chuckled, and said that they worry about the comfort of the principal actors, but it's okay to abuse the extras.
His disdain for the support staff (catering, drivers, assistants, etc..) during the ending credits made him seem like an entitled diva. His constant rant about how much he had to pay so many people who he thought didn't do anything left me with no respect for him.
I firmly believe that everyone deserves to be treated with basic decency. It is not acceptable to pick and choose who deserves to be treated as a fellow human.
I cannot support him anymore. Again, I was a huge fan.. I cannot support someone who so easily degrades people who he perceives as lesser.
