yeah

ive got to agree with Sick_As on this one I love the new TCM. Was it better than the original. No way. But I prefer to look at it like a comic dork. Let me explain. In the comic world there are these spinoff comics called "what ifs", like "punisher kills the entire marvel universe". That how i look at the new TCM. They took the same basic characters and threw in a different story. I liked how different they were. To me it showed that they respcted the OG version b/c they didnt try and re make it, simply take the scenario in a different direction.

Dawn of the Dead remake. Well first off ill say that i thought Dawn was the weakest of the trinity. Yeah its got some good social commentary on it. But really, and you have to agree on this, the zombies are fucking green. I just couldnt feel it. Like "Hey ive got an idea thats going to save on budgeting, lets get a bunch of extras and paint them up like a bunch of fucking martians."

And im not agreeing that it should be remade but ill give it a chance, though im pretty sure its going to fucking suck. really these days i only go to horror movies for the effects, sometimes i get suprised with a decent flick. also lets not forget the 1990 night of the living dead, IMO, the best zombie movie to date. But at the same time Romero did write it, and had savini direct, so i think it had some of the same tone that the others did, and the new DOTD doesnt have any backing from romero.
