Bush Responsible for Spate of Horror Movies

Let me be your first comment. I do not think Bush had anything to do with Horror Movies.

The truth about his administration and its impact on our future will provide an unending source of material for real Horror stories and a very difficult future.

let me be the first to comment in the same spirit as the article was written.

Oh the horror! the agony! how dare Bush do this to the american people? has he no concious?

Should I get that engraved on a locket? The Col has finally found something he thinks Bush isn't responsible for.

Oops, I just farted. Gene is Bush responsible for that? *Insert Bush beans joke here*

!  Thank you.

This is one where, if it were true, I would like to resurrect Patton in the next Horror Movie (Night of the LIving Dead Generals) and have him yell "I am personally going to Washington to shoot that paper hanging son of a beatch!"

Pfewwww!  Those red beans are ripe!

Only if he gave you beans for dinner.

Oh my friend you are mistaken. Read Col's post again and realize that even though he first claims not to blame Bush for horror movies he blames him for giving enough material to make horror movies. But wouldn't that mean it would be Bush's fault for the making of the movies anyways?

It seems that no matter how hard Col might try, he will somehow blame Bush for anything, even when he thinks he's not.

BTW, I have an idea about a horror movie with Bush. Some would consider it a porn movie, but I just can picture Bush and his wife getting it on without freaking out as much as I did when I saw The Amityville Horror.

Oh my God, Col is trying to be funny. Now that's a first. You almost sound like you are trying to make friends. Maybe there is still hope for you.

The horror movies of late have definitely been low brow enough to blame on Bush . . .

But seriously.


GET A FREAKING LIFE ELI ROTH! This is the most ridiculous claim I've heard of late. While I don't believe in shutting people up if I don't agree with them, it doesn't keep us from realizing he's full of crap, right?

He earns a raspberry.

Red bean farts are always ripe!

OMG!  EVIL!  Stay away!  I cannot take the horror!

I think given the topic, it is hard to be serious, and I am glad that everyone can come in and make jokes, puns, themes for new horror movies, or anything else that will make you laugh or scare the poop out of you!

Maybe he is trying to cross over into Comedy?

And when he does, we can boo his movies off the stage!

My son can read you chapter and verse on which director did what and such.  He is really into movies (all types), but I cant tell you what else Roth has done.  However I can tell you that he is no Alfred Hitchcock!

I actually think that Hostel was Roth's first flick. That's why he showed it at some obscure horror film fest first and somehow got Quentin Tarantino to throw his name on the top to try to give it some "street cred".

I find the whole idea of the movie disturbing at any rate, and chose not to see it, but whatever. He should just stick to making bloody gorefest, and obviously keep his hands out of cognitive thought.

I indulged my son, but afterwards told him I was thoroughly disgusted with it.  All he could talk about was the cinematic aspects of it!  if he does not go to a college with a good film department, I am going to wring his neck!  He really sees a lot more than I in films.

Never mind that they have never left us, and the only difference between Hostel and Texas Chain Saw Massacre (released in the 70s - Bush's Fault I am sure) is the setting

Well, I disagree with that. As far as I remember, most of the gore in the original TCM was off screen. (For example, when Leatherface hangs the person on the hook, we see him lift them, then drop them, then the shot cuts to the feet where we see blood splattering down. Today, we'd get loving slow-mo shots of the hooks piercing the flesh, etc.) It's more about intensity and mood. As far as I recall the goriest thing we actually see is at the very end when Leatherface falls and his chainsaw rips his leg a little. What I compare to TCM is the first Jurasic Park because of its disturbing unrelenting intensity. In fact, that's what I wrote about JP at the time of it's release: "a disquieting intensity not seen since Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

Anywho....

I do not think Bush had anything to do with Horror Movies.

Of course he did! Didn't you see Fahrenheit 9/11?

Another one like my son!

Ohh! Point set and match!

What I find unfortunate is how Nash, apparently, chose to make a blanket statement without any intellectual property to back it up. A really interesting study could be made exploring why (perhaps) horror movies enjoy a spike in both production and viewership (chicken or egg?) during certain times, because there are periods where such films are more prevalent then others. Is there a relation to wars? Economics? Presidents? Political parties? Or religious movements which encourage teenage girls to take their boyfriends to movies instead of making out? The possiblities are endless, really.

Yep, let me be the first to say I also blame Bush for the recent spate of bad romcoms. I mean, if he is going to be responsible for schlockfests he should also be responsible for bad romcoms too.

I am not a George Bush fan but this accusation is absolutely ridiculous. Well pointed out, Doc.

Given my son's love of movies and analysis of them, I will publish his conclusions as soon as he reaches them.

What is a romcom?

And if he is responsible, would that include Wolf Creek? (not a bad movie from Australia).  If so, then does that make him king of the world?

Is Bush also responsible for Brokeback Mountain?
