Got out of court early today because opposing counsel didn't show up and decided to go see Zombieland.
It was like what I dream about, but with more guns.
Plus, Bill Murray is in it.
Best movie of 2009 for me.

That many guns?
Can't wait.
Saw it today as well. It was a fucking blast from start to finish.
This was an amazing flick. I haven't laughed so hard in ages. And the gore was really well done. Dialogue? Very well-written. Bill Murray's cameo was amazing. See this fucking movie already.
Just got back from seeing it. Lots of laughs, very fun movie, effects were well done. Go see it!
One of the best Zombie movies ever. Period.

Anyone pumped for Paranormal Activity, or am I a one man band on that one?
Shit is has Bill Murray? Zombies, Woody Harrelson, and Bill Murray is like the trifecta of fucking awesome
Gonna go see it tomorrow or monday. Glad to hear its everything I hoped
Saw it last night.
Very entertaining, fun movie.
Zombieland is godsent proof that a popcorn flick can be dumb movie fun and not just a frustrating waste of time to sit through.
Wow, what a hilarious joke!Quote:

You know you have a winner when half the trailer shows audience reaction rather than actual scenes of the movie. I wouldn't have thought enough time had passed since Blair Witch that they would start making this kind of movie again already, but I guess they thought we wanted it. Not me.Quote:

As hard as they did at any of the jokes during Zombieland.
It was a surreal moment.
Great movie, but needed more boobies.
I guess I'm a sucker for those type of movies, the effects don't look bad and its kinda one of those movies that have to look low budget to keep the effect of it being a normal family recording events.Quote:

Sort of feels like Dead Rising made into a movie but with more humor.
Good to hear. I have been on the fence about this one. Going to have to see it now.
I've been pretty dissapointed by Woody's acting lately; He always looks distracted and self conscious.
I'm hoping this is a return to form... zombie killing form!
anyway, gonna see it next Saturday (while the wife goes to some romantic comedy).
Yea. The nightmare trailer looked like trash.Quote:

That trailer did indeed look terrible and I'm sure it will be. But in a way, they kind of did make Freddy look a little more like an actual burn victim. At least from that half second they show of his face. I don't know if that's how he actually will look in the movie (and I won't know, because no way will I watch that shit).Quote:

"Oh I would so have shot him for that!" and for some reason the whole theater busted out laughing. Must have been the timing.
Did anyone stick around for Bill Murray after the credits?
Left when the credits started rolling. Is it worth the repeat viewing?Quote:

Maybe I was in a pessimistic mood, but Zombieland isn't nearly as entertaining as Shaun of the Dead.
Egh no its only a few seconds...Then again I would see this movie again in a heart beat.Quote:

Am I the only one who liked Land of the Dead?
Diary of was shit, and I've just never cared for Day of much.
I enjoyed Land of the Dead a lot. I don't understand the hatred either. Fiddler's Green was a perfect metaphor for class segregation, and class vs. dignity, and pride.Quote:

It even had Bub in it, ever so briefly.

Day had some good ideas in it, and portrayed what it might actually be like if civilians and scientists got stuck holing up with military people. It's not that much different from what we saw in 28 days later in that respect. Military people see the world around them begin to collapse and they try to establish order. Eventually, one of them gets the big idea that there is no more order besides what they establish. They go from being the emergency contingency to the rulers.
Every one of Romero's movies examines different social aspects of living in such a world, and that's why Romero's zombie movies are my favorite ones.
The new one sounds pretty good.
Try the movie 'The Zombie Diaries' if you like Romero's zombie stuff. It's the closest to a Romero flick in terms of tone, characters and pacing. It's VERY low budget, done by some Brits, but it's an excellent movie, IMO.
Some comic book recommendations if you like zombie survival horror as more than just gore and gratuitous violence.
The Walking Dead
Rotten
So do I, which drives the wife nuts because of the 998 times out of 1000 we wait for nothing.Quote:

Probably had a little chuckle to myself at 2 parts.
It drives my wife nuts for the same reason. But ever since AIRPLANE! and Ferris Bueller's Day Off... it's just something I always do. Hell everyone thought I was lying about the ending of the fast & the furious, until they stuck around to see it. I was hoping Emma Stone would've flashed her tits or something then picked up that tactical shotgun, pointed it at the screen and uttered:Quote:

You could always discuss the movie while waiting.Quote:

ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO GO WITH
You could try logging off of Neo-Geo.com and making some friends maybe?
That fact alone didn't do it for me though. I just found the movie to be quite bad all around.Quote:

Oh, get better characters too.
I dunno, the whole film just felt cheap to me.
Wait wait, you didn't like Day of the Dead?
Are you referring to the original or dvd remake?
I've only ever seen the original.
It's not bad really.
I wouldn't own it.
I would own Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead though.
Originals, of course.
Night remake is a fun movie, too. Good in its own way. Worth owning.
Fuck the Dawn remake, though. Fuck it.
Only saw the Night remake once, many years ago.
I just remember it didn't leave a great impression on me.
I want to buy 28 Weeks Later just for the first part of the film.
That's some good zombie action.
I couldn't believe it when he actually left his wife behind. I figured we'd get some hollywood bullshit where either he sacrificed himself (making the mom the main character or some shit) or heroically saved his wife.
But instead he left the dumb bitch behind, like we were all wanting him to do. That was just great. That's probably one of my favorite scenes in a movie ever. Just because it goes against your typical fantasy conventions and saves himself, because his wife was already lost. Awesome.
Yeah, I loved that scene, too. Good music with it as well. Too bad the rest of the movie was garbage.Quote:

Another +1 on the Night remake. Excellent movie IMO.
Want to see Zombieland, but I've bee too busy. Hope to get the chance to see it next week.
You're so goofy. It's clear you should be directing Jason Statham Crank movies.Quote:

I think the whole voyeuristic aspect of the film, that part of us that is attracted to youtube, would be lost. I largely feel this was the best way for Romero to communicate the idea of Diary.
Interesting thing about Diary: it's the only zombie movie Romero's made that he actually owns. Night is in the public domain due to a copyrighting error and Dawn, Day and Land were all paid for by outside resources so other parties own them.
Night remake is pretty good. Unfairly maligned by the industry at the time but embraced by the fans.
The Night Of The Living Dead 3D is fucking terrible, however. Really, really awful. I'm talking about the one with Sid haig.
Return Of The Living Dead (first one) is very good, too. One of the few 'fast zombie' movies I liked.
I love return.
the whole naked punk rook girl graveyard dancing scene sealed the deal for me.
