Spectre X it was cockhugger
Jul 9th, 2003 01:42 PM
Zomboid Oh yeah, hilarious. The count that kept saying "blah" was genius.

Spectre X he kicked ass you heathen
Jul 9th, 2003 10:49 AM
Zomboid Greg the bunny blew ass. Just another lame fox comedy.
Jul 9th, 2003 07:35 AM
RebelOutlaw_Ace I was not implying that I am. Greg is looking down upon us all right now, in Prime Time heaven. Many a tear was shed when he was removed from our picture show boxes.

I was having a bitch of a time finding an avatar, and Greg just....found me....I'll be changing it as soon as I find a fitting replacement.

Spectre X remove that Greg the Bunny pic from your userpic thingy, you're not worthy of it.

RebelOutlaw_Ace SPOILERS

I was disappointed. Sure, it was a zombie flick, and the characters were somewhat developed, but I found them to be dumb as hell in some occasions, like when the idiot said he "wanted cheeseburgers." Stupid. Not driving nonstop all the way to the military base was another dumb move (I understand the need to fill up the tank, though), and they FUGGING MADE A CAMPFIRE! I wanted the fuggin' zombies to come and bite their asses good - they were asking for it. And, another thing, there was several times when I couldn't help but think, "You know, they could have ended the movie right there." I didn't like the stereotypical "redneck" soldier either who was an ass - I guess his end was fitting.

Probably one of the only things that I liked about it was the grainy film style - it fitted the movie's style fairly well. Other than that, I could have honestly passed and not felt deprived. At least the price was right for me. Free.

As zombie movies go, it's okay. Don't go expecting a hugely revolutionary film, though. It's NOT.

Cap'n Crunch Oh fuck, now it does suck. THANKS.

SPOILERS AHEAD









What exactly was there to think about? Zombies eat people. People try to live. People run away and kill zombies. Why did some of the people die but others turned into zombies? How come in the beginning when he found a newspaper that says "EVACUATION" at the top, he reads the headline but doesn't bother to read the rest? Why did he go into that cheeseburger stand when there obviously wasn't going to be a guy in there making fresh cheeseburgers? IF YOU THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS MOVIE IT WILL ABSOLUTELY SUCK. If you dont think about it it's almost bearable.

Anonymous I just saw it, and I have to say, as I was watching it, I completely related to the characters that wanted to kill themselves. This movie was just plain bad. Aside from seemingly unnecessary Englishman nudity, it's way too slow-paced. Plus, there were far too many plot holes and continuity errors.

*Spoilers ahead*

I liked how they tried to add a human element to the story with the military guys, but it just wasn't enough to save the movie. I hoped that when that jet came by in the end that was going to turn around and strafe them.


In short, 28 Days Later: the movie that isn't afraid to show an unappealing actor walking around an empty city for fifteen minutes.

Zomboid It was good, but it wasn't incredible or anything. It had a great first half with the deserted london and all the chases but the second half was pretty boring and didn't really go anywhere until they tried to kill jim.

I've said it before (not here though) and I'll say it again; Nothing beats the Romero trilogy for post apocalyptic zombie movies.

Cap'n Crunch I fucking loved the movie. It was different, but I liked it that way. I loved how the zombies were fast, and they should keep it that way. I liked it at first where it showed him going through London, and he was walking around alone for about 10 minutes. The music was great there, and I liked how it turned into rock music when the zombies started coming.

People at the movies didn't like it. I thought it was becase they were stupid, and they wanted a complete gore movie, but it wasn't. You kind of had to think about what was going on, and they were stupid enough not to, and they didn't get the plot.

SPOLIER

I loved how the blood got in the guy's eye, and they had to kill him right away, fucking awesome. Another thing I liked was at the end, when he went crazy, because they were trying to kill him. He let that black guy loose, and he killed all of them. It was fucking brillant.

If you haven't seen this movie, you should. If you want a huge gory movie, this isn't what it is, but it is creepy as hell.

Paul138 Looks good. Twilight Zone meets Dead Alive. The only thing I have a problem with is that the critics say the movie is a gorefest like it's a bad thing.
Jun 29th, 2003 05:48 PM
Ooner I expected it to be pretty good, but it turned out to be ridiculously great.

Amazing. And even if you only like shitty movies, it still has enough zombies and blood and shit to keep you entertained.

pissed off salesman I've been working on a chainsaw massacre parody recently. Its called: "The south carolina chainsaw thingy"
Jun 29th, 2003 09:53 AM
Protoclown I fucking loved it. It was definitely one of the best zombie films I've ever seen, and the soundtrack was AWESOME.

Dole Ullo maaaaate
Jun 18th, 2003 10:35 AM
mburbank Hi, Dole
Jun 18th, 2003 04:15 AM
Dole Dog Soldiers is truly awful, but entertaining for the whole 'I am carrying my expsoed guts around with me for the whole movie' thing Sean Pertwee does.
Jun 17th, 2003 05:59 PM
Krythor I've had 28 days later on DVD for a few weeks now, and to be honest, it's not as good as I hoped it would be. It's a refreshing take on the genre though, and to say it's bad because it's not 'old skool' would be very naive. I'd recommend "Dog Soldiers" next, for those who haven't caught that yet.
Jun 17th, 2003 06:18 AM
Dole 28 days later is ok....its really nicely shot, and the fact that they managed to get the streets of central London deserted is really cool, but the script and the acting for the most part are fucking terrible.
Jun 16th, 2003 10:04 AM
Les Waste Actually, Thulsa Doom is very, very stupid.
Jun 16th, 2003 04:32 AM
wreckreation "Actually", an opinion isn't a fact and your opinion is shit anyways. It's a NEW zombie movie so don't expect old shit. It has many themes. AND IS 10 TIMES BETTER ON THE SCREEN DUE TO FILM STYLE.
Jun 15th, 2003 10:54 PM
Thulsa Doom Actually, I saw 28 Days Later 2 months ago through Kazaa. I won't spoil anything, but it isn't the greatest zombie film ever made. It's a good film, but not what it's hyped up to be. I do recommend seeing it though.

And I hope someday I'll get to see a poster of your movie hanging around in Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA where there is a Sundance theater for indie films only. I don't mind zombie movies, but the common plot of humans coming back from the dead as zombies and infecting others is getting pretty tiring.
