Diary of the Dead 2 Production Begins (?)

[darth los]

Couldn't disagree more. Different isn't always bad and people do change their interests, styles and approaches to their work. My problem with GAR is his latest outings have been less than stellar (in my opinion) and they're still being sold as horror, which--if they are expected to be considered as such (or even a psychological thriller, or chilling look at the nature of man)--they are woefully missing the mark. I was actually talking about Murray's work. I love Gar and what he brings to his films. If anything they are intelligent and thought provoking. They have layers to them. it's just that for some reason his dead films aren't what they used to be. Maybe it's this. What do the first three have in Common? Among other things they had a clausterphobic feeling to them. In each film the protagonists were hiding from the undead armies outside. That stress took it's toll on the "group", differently in each case. That stress was the catalyst for exploring the human condition which is basically what the films were about. There was a formula there. In the more recent films there was much more open air.

I was actually talking about Murray's work. I know, that's what I was responding to with my first 2 sentences of my above reply, then I diverged and pointed out my problem with GAR

[darth los]

Oh, in that case different can also suck.

[AcesandEights]

Oh, in that case different can also suck. I like a lot of the things Murray has done in the last 10 years. Hell, I think he was an absolutely brilliant fit, and funny as ever, in Rushmore for example.

Bassman is a Murray fan. I wonder how he feels about his recent work? Inquiring minds want to know !!! His earlier work is his best, imo. He does have some recent films that are decent, though.

I love Murray's recent work. Rushmore, Lost in Translation, and Broken Flowers are all great movies. To each his own I guess.

I love Murray's recent work. Rushmore, Lost in Translation, and Broken Flowers are all great movies. To each his own I guess. Oh I like those. Don't get me wrong. Those are good, as well as, Life Aquatic(he was hilarious in that one), Coffee & Cigerettes, Royal Tenenbaums, etc. But on the other hand he also has, Garfield 1 & 2, Charlie's Angels, The MAn Who Knew Too Little, Wild Things, etc. His earlier career just shines through, imo. Meatballs, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters 1 & 2, Stripes, Tootsie, Scrooged, What About Bob?, Groundhog Day, Kingpin, Ed Wood, Etc. I honestly think he would have a pretty bad career now if it weren't for Wes Anderson's films. Wait a tick, why are we talking about Bill Murray in a Diary thread, again?

[clanglee]

Because he Rocks!!!!!! besides. . aren't we bored with Diary speculation and argument yet? . . . . no? . . . . well. . carry on then.

cant be arsed to read all 7 pages, so excuse me if this has been said already but i heard on the mega 64 podcast that somewhere in the western side of america theres signs up for people to be extras in "george romeros latest zombie movie". could be bollox but still worth mentioning.

i heard on the mega 64 podcast that somewhere in the western side of america theres signs up for people to be extras in "george romeros latest zombie movie". could be bollox but still worth mentioning. Interesting. I tried doing a date range google fu search for some of the topics to see if I could a story, but the results are kind of hard to pair down and I have pages and pages of crap to browse through...but that's what work's for, right? Intriguing tidbit that I hadn't heard before, though.

[bassman]

And it said it's in America? I thought Romero does all his stuff in Canada now? Shouldn't the add for extras be around Canada then?

[AcesandEights]

And it said it's in America? I thought Romero does all his stuff in Canada now? Shouldn't the add for extras be around Canada then? Maybe Canada is following suit in that great North American tradition of importing cheap labor from a destitute neighbor south of the border.
