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**

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".

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