return of the living dead

[Mike70]

UNITED WE STAND You Romero purests just don't get it. Return is the anti zombie movie. It puts every horror cliche into a great comedic story and to wrap it all up, it has zombies. DO YOU WANNA PARTY? amen. i'll say it again i totally dig return. the movie is fun as all hell and shouldn't be taken too seriously. like clang said it doesn't have the obvious, heavy handed social "commentary" of romero's films. sometimes i think romero is trying to be the ingmar bergman or john cassavetes of horror,which he most certainly is not (both were better directors on their worst days than george will ever be on his best), by making these grand, sweeping comments on society and human nature.

I know Romero has another DAWN of the DEAD in him, I just wish he would he do the friggin' thing already because I would hate to see him pass away and leave a turd like his new flick is looking, and that be the film he is judged on for the rest of the world to see.

I know Romero has another DAWN of the DEAD in him... I really hope so but I think you're being a little too optimistic, mate.

I know Romero has another DAWN of the DEAD in him... I hope it's sealed up in a ziploc bag.

I love it how people seem to think that if someone doesn't like a film it means they don't "get it".

I love it how people seem to think that if someone doesn't like a film it means they don't "get it". that is the first line of fanboy defense. i understand why you don't dig return and i can respect that. i think the movie is fun but not "getting it"?? what the hell is there to get about it. it isn't aristotle for christ sake's.

I love it how people seem to think that if someone doesn't like a film it means they don't "get it". Yeah, can't I just plain not like a movie? I need to "get it" and understand all this hidden crap? What if I just plain don't like it?

[bassman]

I would just like to say something about the "new" dawn of the dead from Romero. It won't happen. That film is done and is what it is. Anyone looking for something like that is just setting themselves up for the ultimate let down. Not ONE of his films have been similar to another. Not a single one. You expect that to change now?

Saying that someone doesn't get it, is just another way of saying the film is boring.

ummm. . never said that. ummm...did I quote you in my post? What makes you think I'm talking about you?

I'd rather just enjoy these films for what they are. So what they talk and eat brains? It's the film makers vision. Who are we to knock that? If someone doesn't like it then just ignore it. No one's making anyone watch anything. That's the whole reason Savini was so pissed off about the night remake. Let the man make the film that's in his head for christ's sake. How many vampire movies have we seen where the "rules" are different. In some of them garlic and holy water don't do jack shit but no one bats an eye. We all just say, " hey that's just they way they are in this movie." and we just keep it moving. But for some reason whenever someone dares have an alternate vision of what a zombie should be, people go apeshit over it. Just some thoughts.

ummm...did I quote you in my post? What makes you think I'm talking about you? I guess it was the general use of the word people without some specification. . like "some people" I dunno. but I'll tell you this Bass. . . you don't get it.
