your interminable stalking leads to only one ratiocination and that is you have a nefarious piquancy with me. which considering my illimitable idolization by all my devoted admirers this infinitesimal purlieu, I can't really impute any such affections that you might have for someone as glourious as I.

Dawn of the Dead was OK, Ginger Snaps sequels were just that. Sequels.

KRUGERKID13 06-14-2004 01:42 PM

dawn of the dead (o) is the best zombie movie of all time.

also ginger snaps 2 kicked ass

Sick_As_Fuck 06-15-2004 09:48 AM

Besides the European version, which is useless, it sounds real nice.

GS 2 was a bore for me. The orginal was good, but 2 was long and drawn out.

shiftyc2 06-16-2004 01:11 PM

McDonnyDude666 06-18-2004 11:45 PM

Nice sounds cool.

Remake was ok, I wouldnt mind getting it when it comes out on dvd but the original is the greatest zombie movie ever.

Thank you, I knew I wasn't the only one who hated that atrocity. Now that it's been made, you can kiss George A Romero's forth dead film Dead Reckoning goodbye. George has been trying to get backing for the script, and Rubenstien goes and puts his money into this bad idea. Sheesh, producers are rally fuck'n stupid.

Emancipator 06-19-2004 01:44 PM

The one good thing from the remake is George A Romeros new films ARE getting made. I thank the success of the commercial remake for that.

Both of George A. Romero's movies, Dead Reckoning and Diamond Dead, have recieved financing.. Now all he has to do is decide which to film first.. One will start in October and the other next spring.. This has to be the best news I have heard in along time.. Hes gonna have to decide soon though for the financing to come threw.. Today all zombie lovers will rejoice!

Ah, great news indeed. If it gets released I might even give the new Dawn another look. Hell, I might even check out that Day Of The Dead: Contagion thing. I am kinda curious about that. Hopefully it'll be at least better then Children Of The Living Dead. ;)

If you think of the re-make as its own movie, than its not so bad but if you sit there and rip apart and compare to the original than you will not enjoy it at all..

cheebacheeba 06-23-2004 04:33 AM

I guess the remakes better if you didn't see the original then, 'cos I just saw the remake, and I didn't mind it at all. Was the original a little more like a sequel to the b&w one?

I mean, the remake wasn't THE BEST zombie film, but I did enjoy it. I go into zombie films mainly just to see zombies get shot up, so my expectations are never (especially nowdays) huge.
So do ya think if there's a "sequel" to this new one, it'll be like a remake of the day of the dead, or u think they'll go somewhere else with it? Assuming this ever happens...
Hey, not that this makes a difference, but when I watched the remake, I noticed Heather Langenkamp had something to do with the production crew.

The original Dawn was indeed a sequel to Night of the living dead b&w.

It goes kinda like this:

Night of the Living Dead: The horror is just beginning...few zombies (in general), and many humans. In the end, the humans are able to survive, but there is still no explaination as to what is causing it, or how to stop it.

Dawn of the Dead: Zombies are multiplying rapidly now (ie zombie bite, dead, new zombie) The number of zombies are now rivaling the number of living people. People are no longer trying to defeat the zombies, but rather are trying to get away and survive. There are a lot more zombies now. Now it is about survival.

Day of the Dead: Zombies now greatly outnumber living humans. The epidemic has become an unbeatable plague. A few survivors take shelter in an underground military research center and are trying to wait out the problem. Scientists are trying to understand the zombies, and perhaps find a cure. There is no cure.....mankind is facing extinction.....the zombies are taking over the world...

SOOOO...I am hoping a remake of Day of the Dead would keep with the storyline...or at least with the basic idea...I think the Dawn remake was great.....more of a modern spin on the original.. they did not have the helicopter this time though...oh well...the original is still a good movie to watch over and over...

Well, like I said, there IS going to be some kinda spin off of Day Of The Dead from Taurus the production company that produced Romero's orginal. Doesn't sound like a good idea, but I am kinda curious about it. What I've heard is that its set in a different continuity, features the traditional slow and stupid zombies, and involves the zombie virus producing more kinds of mutations then just zombies. I am curious about this, but its curiostiy that gave me the cruel fate of sitting through Children Of The Living Dead and House Of The Dead (though HOTD had enough nekkid chicks to preserve my sanity).
Of course, lets not get too excited about Dead Reckoning getting its backing. He's still gotta release it, and that's a whole 'nuther battle.
