sorry if i came off as a bit condescending - I think its just that I walked out of LOD and felt it was just about perfect. Sure, I was taken aback by the way we sort-of-sympathized with the zombies - but not completely enough to cheer the eventual slaughter. But, as I thought about it I realized the film was making a really great political point and so I walked out really loving the film.

Needless to say, lots of people I know felt let-down by the film and I've felt this desire to champion the film.

As for Austin's point about "quality" - to be honest I don't really know what "sacrificing quality" would mean. Really, I think of this film was either more "frightening" or more "action-packed" it would undermine the whole point. (A bit like Natural Born Killers, which apparently was meant to be a critique of violence in media but ended up glorifying its object of critique).

But, of course, everyone leaves a film with their personal feeling - I'm not meaning to say anyone's opinion is right/wrong/better/worse - just that I saw the film differently and wanted to argue for it.

**note: no siggy**

How could I have forgot that shitload? I was right psyched for it, too.

Aw, I loved that movie. Best part is when they're eating dinner with the soldiers and the one guy is talking about "people killing people".

hell, I have a whole list:

Also, Cursed. Who the hell said that was the most terrifying movie of the year and why were they only allowed to watch one movie last year?

Nevermind. Mystery solved. I found the article. I seriously can not believe this article, because this movie was no where near a thrill, or even horror. It was a comedy with werewolves.

I saw Land of the Dead tonight and enjoyed it....it had it's funny moments, good gore, and it actually made me feel for the zombies...haha, corny, I know

I started watching "The Hillz" tonight, and it made me feel like a zombie.

HaHa...I liked it :D

Holy crap you are still here! :)

Sacrificing quality basically means.....

You blend your message into the film, you don't blend the film into your message.

Heh...I'll ALWAYS be here...It's so good to see you back :)

Yeah, I'm a bit spread out lately when it comes to message boards. I have 2 of my own that I'm on regularly, I'm on the one for my webhost, I'm on Friday the 13th Forums a lot, and of course xmike (I've mentioned it in the past I think). So yeah, I'm message boarded to death :P

But, seeing as you are still here, I shall have to come back more often. :)

Too many to post. But, if I have to tell u one, It'd be Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Very dissapointing!

Aww...That's so sweet :)...Good to have you here for ANY reason :cool:

Good Choices! Lol!
 

HAHA! Gigli was terrible and the rest mentioned better not be remade,grrr! Lotr are fine,well-made films;The Return Of The King is the best of all! Dawn Of The Dead,even the latest one are(which was very frightening,to me )are done well. I have not seen Land Of The Dead,but it might be time for George Romero to take a hiatus from zombies,try something different,maybe flesh-eating vegetables,lol! :D

i saw Gigli with the lowest possible expectations ... and i didnt hate it.

then again i didnt pay any attention to the j-low/ben offscreen bullshit so it didnt colour my view (and if you dont think that was a huge part of the opinion on the film you're crazy)

i've never hated Ben Aflect (spelling ?) - how could i - he keeps popping up in Kevin Smiths films ..

and Lopez - i think she's a fine actor and one of the most physically beutiful people on the planet ...

if they are both assholes on their own time - i couldnt give a shit - they dont live in my house.


it wasnt that bad a film.
It has a bad name and it featured a couple of people who the media and fans built up just so they could tear them down again.

it had no bearing on the film.

movie let downs
 

maybe its just me but I thought House of A Thousand Corpses was an extreme let down.Not the slightest bit of originality was put into that piece of shit.The Grudge was another let down,what the hell was the movie really about.The Darkness suck major ballsbut I didn't expect nothing from it,so I guess thats not a let down. The Exorcist prequel was horrible too.The last movie I saw that I enjoyed that had a horror element to it was The Ring.

I really enjoyed 1000 Corpses, Hated the ring.

The Serpent & the Rainbow

I watched it last night, and IMO, it was a huge let-down. It just bored me. I'll stick with People Under the Sairs.

Now people under the stairs dissapointed me terribly.

Yeah, that shit was just goofy.

Another movie that really let me down BIG TIME was Sleepaway Camp 2, What a pile of horse/dog shit. The first one was so great and good 4/5 but the secound on 1/5 was so terrible. I havent even touched the third one. Good thing I didnt purchase the Survival Kit.

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THE MOVIE SAW IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO AT ALL. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING I MISSED BECAUSE THE ENDING DIDN'T ANY SENSE, BUT I WILL SAY IT WAS SURELY VERY TWISTED. I LOVED THE STORYLINE THOUGH! GOOD SUSPENSE.

Re: scaryminda15
 

What the fuck

SCARYMINDA15
 

I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN TO WHAT THE MOVIE SAW MEANT I HAVE NO CLUE WELL IT WAS MY STUPID FAMILY'S FAULT THEY WHERE TALKING DURING IT OH I SO HATE THAT!!!!!!!!

scaryminda15,
Unless you are ee cummings, please use proper punctuation and capitalization. Folks tend to get upset, otherwise.

Yeah, MINDA...

*snicker*

I agree completely! A real stinker...and now it's getting theatrical release in the U.S. What a waste.

If you do watch the third one be prepared to cry and shit at the same time. It's beyond bad! The deleted "gore" scenes on the disc look like they were cut because they were so fucking stupid and not because they were too nasty.

But there's hope with Return to Sleepaway Camp being made by the original director.

I was totally let down by Saw (2/5)
