Why are so few Rob Zombie movies on 4K?

As of right now, The Devil's Rejects and 3 From Hell are his only 2 films that have 4K releases.

I know some of his movies aren't very popular but I would think at least House of 1000 Corpses would have one since the other 2 in the trilogy do, and definitely the Halloween films as so many people would want to complete their series collection.

If he were to make a 10th film, what would you like it to be?

A prequel called "The First 31" or just a Doom-Head movie? What Baby, Otis, and Foxy got up to after 3 From Hell? A Munsters sequel? A feature length version of Werewolf Women of the SS? Maybe one of his cancelled projects like Broad Street Bullies, The Blob, the Groucho Marx film, or T-Rex? Or maybe something different altogether. Would you like it to be horror or explore another genre?

Is it normal to be a little offended by your assessment report or am I just nitpicking?

I was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at about 3 years old. Recently I got reassessed and diagnosed with level 1 autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and executive dysfunction. I am glad to have my diagnosis confirmed under modern guidelines, but there were parts of the report that kind of rub me the wrong way.

The biggest thing that got me was this comment that felt like a personal attack: "showed a variable ability to accept responsibility for his behavior across different contexts, including everyday problems and conflicts." We didn't get into my personal life very much so I'm not even sure where they got this from. I feel like they just pulled it out of thin air.

"His social interactions often seemed awkward and occasionally resulted in uncomfortable exchanges." I wasn't aware I made the assessor feel this way but evidently I did. It didn't feel very awkward or uncomfortable to me but I guess it did to her.

"He exhibited little overt enjoyment during his interactions with the examiner throughout the assessment." Well, what did they expect? Was I supposed to act like a kid on Christmas morning or what?

"Nor did he demonstrate an excessive interest in or preoccupation with highly specific or restricted topics or objects." They didn't really ask about my interests/hobbies either, but if they did, I would've been more than happy to tell them. Mine happens to be horror movies, to the point where people have said I have no personality outside of them.

"Memory deficits are likely influenced by his ADHD, which often disrupts the encoding phase of the memory process." I don't feel my memory is that bad. I remember peoples' birthdays and phone numbers I haven't spoken to in 20 years, and I am good at remembering appointment dates/times and things like that. I just couldn't remember their weird tests because they paired random words together like "door/apple."

Was anyone else offended by things that appeared in your assessment reports? If so, what were they?

Has anyone ever had an autism diagnosis taken away as an adult?

I was diagnosed as a child and felt it necessary to get re-assessed in adulthood. There is no doubt in my mind that the diagnosis is valid, but I fear the doctor may not agree. The consultation appointment was only a 10 minute phone call in which he asked if I had an IEP, whether I graduated high school , what my GPA was, and if I had a job. Then I had to go to a 2nd appointment for a little over 5 hours of tests (which consisted of various memory games, spelling tests, reading comprehension tests, had to write an essay about our favorite game, etc.) and that is the end of it. I never got to meet the actual doctor in person, it was a different person doing the assessment tests, but the doctor will make his conclusion and send a report in about 6-8 weeks.

I worry that since I didn't have an IEP through most of school, graduated high school without any help, have held a job for 2 years (granted, it is my first job and I didn't get it until 30 but he didn't ask about that), and think I did pretty well on many of the tests, he'll conclude he doesn't think I meet the criteria for autism anymore and decide it was a misdiagnosis. Has anything like this ever happened to anyone else or is it a silly thing to worry about?

I feel awful saying this, but I don't like my mother.

Last night we ordered pizza and she says "I don't like pizza. I don't want any." (I have a hard time thinking of what she does like because she complains about anything and everything). She ordered chicken wings for herself because she didn't like pizza. So in the morning the pizza was gone and she threw a bloody fit. "I paid for this pizza and it's all gone. No one saved me any. Un-fucking-believable!" It's a pattern for her. There always has to be some sort of drama or catastrophe like this. She will nag and berate my father constantly trying to bait him into a fight. When he gives her what she wants, she goes around telling everyone how "mean" he is to her and how abusive and controlling he is. That's what she does. She makes passive-aggressive little jabs towards everyone around her constantly and expects them to sit there and take it. If you dare say anything to try and defend yourself, you are a monster. She can attack you at will, but you're not allowed to have any feelings about it or respond back. Sometimes she'll apologize "I'm sorry, I am in pain" (she has bad back problems) or "I'm under a lot of stress" and thinks you're supposed to let it go.

My older brother is estranged from her and has been for a few years. He has many issues of his own with her, but one of the biggest is that she played a game with him. She'd tell him something gossipy about other family members trying to bait him into saying something about them. When he did, she'd run back and tell the other family member what he said. Then they'd say something nasty about him in retaliation and she had to run back to him with that information. Then she would cry "why does my family hate each other?" My older brother has written her several long emails and texts explaining why he is estranged from her, yet she acts confused and tearfully tells people "I don't know what I did to him for him to treat his own mother like this."

She has problems with my father, my older brother, my grandmother, has turned most of her friends against her, can't leave the house without getting in an argument with cashiers, other customers, receptionists, etc., yet everyone else is always the problem. Nothing is ever her fault. It's always everyone else hurting her, abusing her, and victimizing her. She is just a bully who thinks she can march all over people and they're not supposed to fight back.

ChatGPT has become kind of nasty and contrarian lately

I went to it to vent about problems I didn't feel comfortable bringing to anyone in real life. It used to make me feel a whole lot better, but nowadays it is taking a different approach. "I don't think this is helpful," "you're misinterpreting what happened," "you want me to say ___ and I can't/won't do it," "you're assuming this means this and it probably doesn't," etc. Now I don't want it to be a "yes man" or expect it to be. But I feel like they saw people on social media saying ChatGPT used to blindly agree with whatever you said so they made it do the exact opposite. They made it automatically disagree with you and made it into kind of a jerk. Has anyone else had the same experience as of late?

Is this normal for an autism (re)assessment?

I was diagnosed with autism when I was about 3 years old, but I understand my exact diagnosis (PDD-NOS) is outdated so I went seeking an updated diagnosis. The psychologist did an intake appointment by phone and it only lasted for 10 minutes. It was questions like "did you have an IEP?," "did you graduate high school?," "what was your GPA?," etc. It didn't even scratch the surface of my struggles and life history.

That was nearly 3 months ago. Today I had to go to his office for about 6 hours worth of tests. The administrator was very nice but it was mostly a series of memory tests, math tests, spelling tests, reading and defining words, putting pegs into a board with holes (once with the left hand, once with the right), pressing the space bar every time a letter showed up on a computer screen, etc. The only thing remotely close to getting to know me as a person was a questionnaire about childhood that asked things like "did you have many friends?," "were you a good athlete?," etc. And you circled how much you relate to it on a scale of 1-5. I didn't see the actual diagnosing psychologist at all or have any contact with him besides that initial 10 minute consultation appointment by phone, so these tests are basically going to decide everything.

He doesn't want any followup appointment of any kind and he will send a report with his conclusions via email in about 6 weeks. I worry this man will decide he doesn't think I fit the criteria for autism based on me doing well on a spelling test and elementary level math equations when he doesn't really know me. That will feel so unfair and wrong. I know I don't have any of the results yet so I may be upset about nothing, but it makes me nervous and depresses me.

I have a date scheduled for Wednesday but I'm having second thoughts.

He seems nice. We met on an app and exchanged numbers. We have talked on the phone twice but it makes me very uncomfortable and there's a lot of awkward silence, which he definitely notices saying things like "you're quiet, huh?" I just don't feel a spark there and feel like we don't have much in common. He has a lot of problems with things such as bipolar disorder and severe depression, so I want to break it to him as gently as possible if I decide to cancel. But I'm just not sure it's going to work. There was also a period where we didn't text for almost 2 weeks and then out of the blue he randomly sent "good afternoon" and then we started talking again and planned this date next week.

What could this strange lump between my leg/groin be?

I am a 32-year-old male. About a week ago, I felt a strange lump in the crease where my leg and groin meet. At first I thought it was a swollen lymph node and it would probably go away soon, but today I finally looked at it and saw the white circle in the center of it. It doesn't hurt or anything, but itches every so often. Other than that, I can barely tell anything is there. It is not movable and feels like it is underneath the skin.

Fear of sending a friend request

There is a coworker I really like and think he is a kindhearted person. I see he has started adding other coworkers on Facebook and I really want to send him a friend request, too, but I am afraid. I just fear "what if he doesn't like me as much as I like him and thinks I'm weird and a freak?" I fear he will reject it and I will have made a fool of myself for nothing and it will be so awkward next time we're on the schedule together.

Are there any horror characters you think didn't deserve their fate and would like to have seen them saved? It could be a victim or a villain. For me, I think Georgie from It seemed like a genuinely kind person and it was sad to see him die so young so I would save him.
