2011-10-19T13:35:49.558-04:00

Okay, so I've had some time to think, and I still believe what I said in my first response, but I just wanted to add some things.

I get it, you don't like Remy - fine, that's great, you're entitled to your opinion. The way you made your point was just plain childish. It makes you look like a bully in the school yard shouting, "look at me, I'm better than him and I'll punch him until you notice". Posting comments like that anonymously is just really sad. If you want to actually discuss the issues - that's awesome! We’d love to hear your well thought out and educated opinions. If you're just going to call someone names - get a life.

This entire issue is so much bigger than your dislike of one person. This will set precedence in Canadian court and would have insane implications for essentially every Canadian, not just people who make their living as artists. Remy being found guilty could mean that you have to screen every picture you put up on your flicker account or Facebook in case there is some slight oversight that could potentially "offend" someone and start millions of frivolous lawsuits that cost everyone involved and every taxpayer. In a case like this it doesn't matter who is the focus of the case because it effects us all.

Personally, I like Remy's work and I like him as a person. Perhaps the reason his influences are upsetting to you is because English is not his first language. Maybe he doesn't watch what you would consider mainstream films because he takes in French media. Maybe outside of his community is unlikely to know the people who influence him so he uses a reference we would understand. I’m not going to judge what he tells the media his influences are because there are so many other factors out there that could be major influences that he might just not be comfortable sharing. Who knows? Only him.

Also, if his work was good enough for this whole issue to come about, then his work has to be pretty damn good. He didn't seek out the attention, he was arrested.

Finally, I know you're a troll, and your purpose in life is to make a scene and try to make people angry, but you should be ashamed of yourself for acting out like an attention starved 5 year old when it comes to an issue this serious. The artistic community has to stick together in an issue like this, not let petty arguments take over and let our free speech get taken away (yes I know we don't have free speech in Canada to begin with, so change that to - the free speech we do have, to get taken away). Stop trolling small-time blogs and start spending your time on fighting in an arena that really matters. You don’t have to like Remy, but you do have to stick up for your rights as a Canadian and an artist.

Seriously, that last commentor calling Remy stupid...

2011-10-18T22:09:14.082-04:00

Seriously, that last commentor calling Remy stupid is just infuriating. They obviously have no idea what they are talking about calling his work second-tier. If they had eyes they would know better. He is an amazing artist and is doing make-up in his spare time for fun. He learned the craft through trial and error and now has the support of the likes of Tom Savini. To the person not even brave enough to put their name on that post, you are a sad, miserable human being. Get a life.

2011-10-15T19:50:06.436-04:00

Rémy's struggles are negated by how dumb he is. A guy working at a low pay job, barely making it as a part-time second-tier makeup artist. Having very little education, he can tell you who his influences are using statements like "the guy who did the fx on Saw" not knowing who the fuck he's talking about. He thinks he's a martyr and he's riding that wave of controversy, hoping it will help his career and not actually believing he could be declared guilty and go to jail. The offending material he put on the web is idiotic and clumsy, just like he is. But, hey: we, horror fans want to keep our freedom. Just too bad this dimwit is at the center of a very important debate.

2011-10-08T11:42:44.240-04:00

I think a complete stupidity as are censoring the art of cinema horror genre this decade. The censors and political (global) to worry as the wars and cases of child abuse emanating from the Catholic Church. Horror movie is to shock and cause discomfort but would not be produced to cause fear.

Rémy Couture has my full support here in Brazil. Strength in battle, my brother.

2011-10-05T21:23:14.397-04:00

Cheers to that. I would like to see further discussion on this section, just not at anyone's expense. Watching someone dragged through the mud like this is corrupting my morals.

2011-10-05T20:50:27.163-04:00

Remy shouldn't have to go through this at all. The type of graphic content Germany produces far surpasses (in terms of gore/sex/what-the-fuckism) is kinda like the cauldron calling the pot black. Either way, it's out in the open now, and I sincerely hope that Remy will be found innocent of all charges, and in fact found that no charges should ever have been laid.
