All is right in the world.
So Susan Atkins finally dies, Roman Polanski is finally arrested for his rape of a 13 year old girl, and Eli Roth has been exposed for the creeper he is over at
ohnotheydidnt.
To make things even better, here's Sharon Tate:

He was treating the fanfic as if it were something to be ridiculed, because, yes, who would enjoy reading about attractive men being with each other? I wonder if perhaps he felt threatened in some way, by having his character portrayed as virile, masculine, and gay? He did remark it was out of character and that he'd never write his own gay fanfiction "because that would be gay."
And in some way, I think Eli making a big deal out of it and getting on LJ was a way of barging and declaring, I'M ACTUALLY HERE AND ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR PRESENCE SO YOU CAN TOUCH YOURSELF TO ME AND NOT JUST TO FANFICTION! ISN'T THAT NICE OF ME?

Also, that article you linked is making me laugh so hard even though it's really really terrible.

I know it's a great way to make all the fine, young dudes in the audience laugh, but how do you seriously mistake a gaping wound on an upper thigh with a vagina?
Oh, that's right, Mr. Roth: Yucky, dirty vaginas.

Jordan's character was the only one I felt anything for, as she was abandoned in a shed and left to rot. Then there was the other gal who was made to be the 'slutty' one in the horror film. She even got that stupid line (which I just imdb'd),
"It's like being on a plane, when you know it's gonna crash - everyone around you is screaming, yelling "We're going down! We're going down!" And all you really wanna do is grab the person next to you and fuck the shit out of them, 'cuz you know you're gonna be dead soon, anyway."
Roth also has a Hostel shirt with the blowtorched girl's face on it. I should stop thinking about these things, but I've been so repulsed by him that I can't quit compiling a Greatest Hits list of terrible things I should stop thinking about.

And then she got eaten by a wild dog. Very subtle, Eli, you giant douchebag.
I am developing such a hate-crush on him. You know, where I can't stop obsessing over what a horrible person he is. It's horrible AND I CAN'T STOP.

As always with horror films (and sadly, a view held outside of the film genre), if you're a sexual woman, you're ruined forever and must pay for your crimes against man.
For the longest time, I had a hate/love thing for him and decided the best action to take to would be to go preying mantis on him. And now that's been wrecked, too.

And basically, it's like you're me. I mean, I found him ridiculous and had no real respect for him, but he was hot. So, you know, he'd come up on cliff/marry/shags sometimes and I'd be like "shag then cliff? :D? :D?" but basically now I am like >:( and just really pissed off that I EVEN STILL CARE ENOUGH TO GET ANGRY.

I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY. I think part of it is that I'm bothered that other women can't see what's wrong with him and the whole ONTD mess.

And yeah, see, I could see how Hostel could have played out differently, or been about what he seems to have wanted it to be about, but the movie he talks about having made and the movie he actually made are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

Also, yeah, Roth doesn't seem to realize when something is done. I know you don't like the Thanksgiving trailer, but I kind of thought it was good at what it was supposed to be -- which was basically just seeing how many times it could cross the line twice in four minutes, but whatever. But then he decided it needed to be made into a full-length movie. Which completely misses the point of the only thing that made the trailer successful, which was cramming all the over the top things in right together to shock you so much you became horrimused. As an actual movie, it wouldn't even be successful at that. (Although it does raise the question of if a filmmaker goes into a movie trying to make a bad movie and the movie is bad, was it successful?)
On the other hand, unlike above comments suggest, he's not actually involved in Hostel 3, afaik?

I didn't terribly mind the trailer for Thanksgiving, but that knife-in-the-vag got to me. However, he absolutely the feel of a nasty grindhouse film from 1981 down perfectly (even the voice-over was perfect) and I loved Michael Biehn in it. And you're right, it would not work as a full-length film. Initially, there would be the fun of spotting all of the trailer moments in the film, but what else is he going to cram in there? It's basically going to be Roth at play with his imagination and pretending he's Fulci or Carpenter or even Sam Peckinpah (who was about as stunted as Roth, but a very talented man, which can make his films even more infuriating). Though such an attitude could make Thanksgiving successful, as long he goes into the project with the purpose of having fun with it instead of making a purposefully awful film with grotesque imagery. There are more than enough wanna-be schlocky horror films that are failures because they specifically force themselves to be campy schlock, instead of letting it happen naturally. It especially ruins the appeal when the actors are knowingly in on the joke.
After some googling, it indeed appears that Roth has no involvement in Hostel 3 and it may in fact end up straight-to-DVD (which would be hilarious if it turned out to be the best of the Hostel films).

I've never cared for Debra Winger, so it's good to know I'm not missing out on anything by continuing to not like her.
