Socially, culturally, whatever...I think we
Socially, culturally, whatever...I think we have an unusual reaction kicking in with the coming of Warner Bros. and Joel Silver's House of Wax. The big attraction-repulsion element, of course, is Paris Hilton's costarring role. There are guys on message boards everywhere saying they'll go to it only if she dies and some saying, "She dies? Thanks for ruining it!" and still others saying they won't see it at all because she's in it. Let's get one thing straight. If you know anything about horror films, you know that lead actresses sometimes die, but suppporting actresses always die, so she's toast and that's it. The pleasure element, for me, is (a) how slowly and painfully will she die, (b) how long and how loud will she scream before she croaks, and (c) how naked does she get before it happens? If the answers to these questions are (a) very slowly and very painfully, (b) really loud and long and (c) fairly naked, I'm there. I mean, I'll definitely go to the all-media.
