After reading the reply in question

Land was horrid and it aint got nuthin to do with low budget filmmakers or failed junior college writing classes

I was being a wiseguy. I've checked out some of the work here (fiction, etc.) that the board members have done, most of which I like, and mostly wrote the reply to see if any of them were paying attention

Sorry if it came across as an insult to anyone. Besides, there are no FAILED fan fiction writers or filmmakers around here

FAILED fan fiction writers or filmmakers around here

Not yet

you know who you are.

my problem with land is that romero tried to make it too modern for younger audiences he said it himself that"i used more cgi because i didnt want the younger generation to think the film was cheesy". i think romero didnt stay true to what the living dead films and tried to hard to impress the younger generation.

**Danny** · 31-Dec-2006

aye, and when an older guy trys to be "down wit the kids", does it ever work?.

heres lookin' at you mr. lucas.

**Mutineer** · 31-Dec-2006

I did not find the use of CGI to be the weakness in Land of the Dead; the film was just outright terrible from the get go

**_liam_** · 31-Dec-2006

wouldnt say it was terrible, just kinda average and disappointing considering what came before. however, a 60-odd year old dude made that film...that's still pretty f'ing cool.

i think the story doesn't have a real arc, or closure, it feels unsatisfying. also in places it seems a bit too glossy and modern, which fans of the preceeding films obviously dont crave, otherwise why would they be so into a movie with a bunch of blue people stumbling around a cheesy old mall...
