    I'll see if it that hand-held camera bull**** is gone. I absolutely HATED that ****. Hopefully, it'll just be a regular movie. Best part of the first was watching that kid die

    I still have a problem with the whole smart zombie angle, or at least the way Romero did in LOTD. Why do that? Zombies are scary enough as is, why **** it up?

    I totally agree with you.

    Perhaps in his old age he's just flipping us all the bird and is just gonna do what he wants to do. So all three people that like the intelligent zombie angle should rejoice. I still think it's the wrong way to go though.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Another excellent observation. But, imo, it was because he was the exception and not the rule. I have no problem with ghouls like bub peppered throughout the zombie population. Just as there are humans capable of extraordinary things then it stands to reason that there would be ghouls like that as well.

    However, the situation with LOTD and beyond is different. You could make the argument that big daddy is the only intelligent zombie but in reality the ghouls doing his bidding are exhibiting markedtly higher signs of intelligence than "traditional" GAR ghouls by even being ABLE to carry out orders. They therefore are all intelligent and fall short of the mindless external threat they have been in the past which was the vehichle for GAR to make his social commentary and explore the human condition so effectively.


    With intelligent ghouls that's lost, imo.

    Kinda hard to talk about a movie we barely know anything about beyond that vague, cobbled-together crew trailer, and a couple of pictures - which have both already been discussed and bitched about to an equal degree.

    When there's more info, guaranteed talk gets going again, but there's only so much that can be said about a few drips.

    I think that just shows how much we love his films and his work despite our minor disagreements.

    IMO, a good zombie film would quiet everyone down. I think we all want to see GAR do well. It's just that some of us think that the intelligent zombie angle is not the best way he could have gone.

    There's very little that has to do with Diary that is OK, as far as I'm concerned.

    With all t's flaws, and there are many, i'd watch diary over land any day.

    What?


    Land just doesn't FEEL like a GAr flim to me for whatever reason. Say what you want about it but diary does, imo.
