Rob Zombie Hates Your Cell Phone

Perhaps it should come as no surprise that Rob Zombie--rock star, screenwriter, film director, gore-fetishist--has little free time for messing around with all the electronic goodies the rest of us take for granted. But we get it. After all, his latest film, a remake of the classic slasher flick 'Halloween II,' only began filming in late February and yet barely six months later is already in theaters. Clearly he's a busy guy. Still, after a recent conversation with Mr. Zombie, we were taken aback at how vehemently anti-technology he is. Seriously, this guy has some major-league beef with gadgets and the people who love them. Check out the video to experience his alienation, and hold tight as you get torn a new one.

The writer of this half-assed article needs to research and fact check before posting this kind of garbage. The Halloween II movie is NOT A REMAKE YOU RETARD Jon Chase! I have to agree with him because I hate the fact that people can't just enjoy silence and solitude without an annoying cell phone being within ten feet of them. I'd love it if they didn't exist and think they are one of the worst inventions. You now have no privacy, you can be tracked 24/7, your service you pay outrageous fees for is not reliable and let's not forget people don't know how to use these things properly. There is no sense of public etiquette. They talk in movie theaters, when they're in the public bathroom on the toilet, in elevators, in line at and during checkout, gabbing through the drive through, etc.
Why don't you shove your cell phone through your ear into your skull since you aren't using your brain. You are a pathetic excuse for a writer!
Mr. Zombie is absolutely right in this case. People are so deluded into thinking that they need to watch crap on youtube that they ignore the real world. It's pathetic when people show you garbage like a stupid hamster on a piano, puppies and kittens! No intelligent person cares about that stupid crap! I suppose it's the only talentless hacks like you can keep a job by whining about people who realize what is actually important. The more technology advances the more people are constrained by it.

Hey Sarah. If you hate technology so much then maybe you should stop posting on blogs with your computer. Throw that computer away and cancel that iPhone plan you have, get rid of your movies and video games (which are far more of a time waster than a cell phone is).
Believe it or not, cell phones are very helpful. People make money with their cell phones, they avoid huge problems using email and sms from their cell phones. Air Traffic controllers have saved the day when comm to an Airplane went out while a plane was trying to land and did it with...*drum roll*...A CELL PHONE! People's lives were saved by a cell phone conversation, amazing.
Sarah plz stfu and cancel your internet subscription so the rest of us don't have to see your meaningless banter.

Sarah, what's with calling people a retard? So 7th grade, don't you think?
reezerSep 3rd 2009 2:38PM
Yeah you tell 'em Sarah! Screw technology! I can be outside accomplishing something while retards everywhere are watching Rob Zombie interviews and then bitching at the writer. And SCREW technology because people talk while in the theater. Fricking technology, I hope it never cures cancer, that'll show it!!!
Anyway, he seems much tamer than I expected him to be. Weird.

There are ups & downs for everything that is made by man. You may invent something for a good purpose but some douche will find a way to use it some other way which wasn't intended by the creator...

whoopn... The guy you are referring to who used his iphone to direct air traffic using his gps.
You forgot to mention the delay on the network which makes it very dangerous to use in situations like that. For safety purposes its not recommend. Also, the guy was an "actor" Air traffic controllers have been told, if you use your phone to direct traffic you will be fired.

What about me boy in stains? He's got no techmology at all... you can check his website he's got nuffin

Sarah, I guarantee you have a cell phone. Also i think if you do even a little bit of research you'll find it is a remake of Halloween II (1981). SHOCK! Imagine that!

Rob does make a good point that some people are "too involved with technology" but like it or not its the way things are right now. I take a break every now and then , getting fresh air, going to a ballgame, going to concerts.( not filming it on my phone!! )and reading a good book!! P.S. Thanks cowell.iain)-for informing Sarah that Halloween 2 is indeed a re-make from 1981!!

This guy is a crazy as his movies, and the freaks that go see them.
raulzekeSep 7th 2009 10:58PM
Wow! Rob has normal hair! LOL

Rob Zombie uses the latest in cinematography technology in his movies; state-of-the-art recording technology in his music, and then makes them available through leading MP3 distributors and on-line video sources. But we're told Rob Zombie is "...vehemently anti-technology..."? LOL, sure, he hates technology all the way to The Bank.

I'm sick of these "artists" putting down everybody for use of modern technology. Rob Zombie wouldn't be shit without modern technology, like others have already said on here. People agreeing with him, but using their computer to post a response to an online article is just laughable.
When Rob Zombie records or directs a modern classic, we can start listening to him as a credible artist. Since when is quantity more important than quality? Great...he's a busy guy. He does all kinds of things. They usually suck, though. That's my opinion. Why do you think Daniel Day Lewis is always involved in critically acclaimed (and usually very good) projects? Because he doesn't jump at every opportunity to make a movie. Otherwise we would have seen him in some crappy romantic comedy with Jennifer Aniston or one of the _______ Movie movies (Epic Movie, Date Movie, Scary Movie, etc.).
Somebody tell these "artists" to get their noses out of the air. Modern techonology is way more important than any of these people make it out to be. We'll put Rob Zombie in the middle of Harlem with a sign on it that says EXACTLY what the sign said in Die Hard with a Vengeance. He'll wish he waited on line for the new iPhone ;-)
