Lulz: Watch a movie with Rob Zombie on Xbox Live

I just signed in to Xbox Live – I’m fighting through the alien spaceship on Fallout 3 – and when I saw an advert for this pop up on my dashboard, I had to run back to my PC and make a smartalecky post about it.

You’ve participated in our Game with Fames, now try our first-ever Film with Fame with Rob Zombie, director of the classic horror thriller The Devil’s Rejects. He’ll be online watching the movie with Xbox LIVE® Gold Members providing a live director’s commentary on the film! If you’re a Gold Member (if you’re not a Member, upgrade now!) join us Friday, February 19 starting at 8:00 P.M. ET for the event.

I’ve always gone to bat for Mr. Z’s first two films. They’re just fun to me, what can I say? But I can’t help but chuckle at this idea. Do people really want to sign on to Xbox and watch a movie with Rob Zombie? Or any other celebrity for that matter?

It just sounds stupid and weird to me.

  • I’m with you on his first two films and shamefully kind of liked Halloween 2 because it was just bonkers. That being said, have you ever listened to one of his commentaries? They are horrible and dull as a rusty butter-knife. Doesn’t sound like fun at all.

  • Oh, I fully intend to Netflix RZ’s Halloween 2 one of these days. My morbid curiosity is gonna kill this cat eventually.

  • As far as listening to celebrities, I’d totally listen to you do a commentary of Bungelow of the Damned again.
