Day or Land

[Trin]

A proletariat class by definition is a working class wage earner. The humans on the streets would qualify moreso than the zombies. The zombies were not even a recognized part of the society, which in Marxist terms put them below the proletariat class. But that's right in line with the message of the zombies being the lowest class, discarded by society, and emapthized with by an objective outsider. Regarding the "they're us" message - I'm with Bassman on this - it started off very pointedly in Dawn. Fran says, "What the Hell are they?" to which Peter says, "They're us. There's no more room in Hell." In Day it got absolutely pounded into us with Dr. Logan's remarks about them being us, just operating at a lower level. Land, of course, took it much further.

Loved them both but I thought more could have been done with Land. That's really splitting hairs trying to pick the better movie. They are both 4 stars! (out of 5)

Not even close: DAY. By leaps, bounds, and leagues.

You know, Land's effects weren't too bad (with the exception of the two ovbious cgi scenes, the zombie priest and the drawbridge head crush) but Day had some of the best zombie makeup ever. The Draw bridge zombie head was not CGI. I was on set the night they shot that. It was a real gag. They set up a portion of the drawbridge railing in the warehouse were the Car lot set was located and dimmed all the lights and had a small platform and a mini pool of water underneath. They placed the dummy head in the railing and SNIP... the rest is on celluloid.

yeah, the priest was too obviously cg, but the rest of the effects were okay. Day still rules, however. it just had the best story and acting, in my opinion. also, there was just not enough crazy people in Land. I guess you could count that bum-looking guy who laughs at Riley for "getting f****ed", but that's about all. I'm really disappointed.

I am not a Land hater, but it truly cant compare to Day, Biggy Daddy cant hold a candle to Bub, I did like Cholos character but still Rhodes is the man (bad ass till the end) Day's storyline was much better and it was easy to like or dislike the characters.

[blind2d]

good points all, and total agreement from me.

I was on set the night they shot that. were you a zombie, DJ? or were you just on set for a visit? if you are in the movie, where are you at?

[bassman]

were you a zombie, DJ? or were you just on set for a visit? if you are in the movie, where are you at? Were you not around here then? He's got pictures of himself in zombie makeup and all. I very well could be wrong, but I think his scenes were cut except for a quick shot of the zombies against the chain link fence. That's why he doesn't like the film. He's just mad that they cut his scenes out.

[Mike70]

Were you not around here then? He's got pictures of himself in zombie makeup and all. either i wasn't around or i just missed that entirely. i don't remember hearing anything about DJ being a zombie. now that i think of it though, that was most likely when i wasn't coming around much.
