After just over an hour into the movie, a tape player of Logan is played where he is muttering something with what sounds like a zombie in the back ground, does anybody know what he is saying as i can't make it all out

One for Philly SWAT or Dubious Comforts, I do believe.

Are you referring to the weird imaginary conversation that Frankenstein is having with his mother about the stockings, where he starts off saying something like "Those are my stockings...there, I've put them away. I'veput them away, mother! Be civil!"

Yeah, Philly or Dubious would know better about this one (no better sources of information than those two)

I always thought Logan was nuts, had childhood issues with his parents. In front of Sarah and Fisher, he reveils his father, who the club fellows referred to as Bub, was a wealthy surgeon who wasn't very supportive of his occupation (..."never be rich doing pure research"). God only knows what his mother was like. I think with the stress of the world falling apart on top of living in the bunker, he just had a nervous breakdown of sorts.

If you listen carefully during scene you can even hear him say "Take that off and That off!" and can hear a zombie in the background.......

What was he try to strip or something?:eek:

[sandrock74]

He was just plain loco is all I think that recording was trying to show. Like we didn't already figure that out by then! lol

[MaximusIncredulous]

Funny thing is that Logan, with all his issues, had more "character" than the others combined. Too bad Day didn't go a little deeper into his psychosis. He was a fascinating guy.

^ Great observation.

The tape recording is an example of Logan's demented role-play methods to "domesticate" Bub. It's as though he is acting the 'mother' figure and speaking the words intended for Bub, who is obviously not responding well. It's abusive and violent, the way that you can imagine Logan was treated by his parents as a child.

I imagine the taped session also took place before Logan discovered how to placate Bub by rewarding him with human remains.

Dr. Logan was actually kinda likable, aside from the fact he was cracking, too.

[axlish]

I always figured he was talking to a zombie other than Bub, one that wasn't as agreeable like the Mike Tursic* zombie perhaps.

I also don't think it actually portays him as loony. It could be perceived as such but it is no different than the conditioning he was giving to Bub. It was merely one of many overreactions by Sarah.

I agree,he's one of my favorite characters.

I always thought it was a Norman Bates kind of thing...

Great post. Especially this part:

A stress-induced breakdown could very well bring his childhood issues and any predispositions towards depravity, psychosis etc. to the fore.

If that indeed is true then bub and big daddy are very different. Big Daddy didn't seem at all interested in feeding. It seems that By placating Bub with human remains was the only way to get him to shave. :lol: And how was that going to help their situation in the first place, training one ghoul when it wa sobvious he was the exception and not the rule?

Precisely why Dr. Logan was horror genius.

He appears to have made a miraculous and startling leap in domesticating Bub and appears to be calm and collected while everyone else is cracking up.
But the hope he offers is dashed when you find out that his "answer" involves feeding the zombies, and that Bub is actually quite ravenous for flesh after all, and beneath the calm veneer Logan is actually more cracked up than anyone.

His scene in the meeting with Rhodes is just classic. "Is there food?" Sarah almost got shot for not sitting down and Logan talked Rhodes in a circle. That's some great foreshadowing of Logan's mental state. Any reasonable, grounded individual would've been at least a little scared of Rhodes in that situation.

I actually hated Logan in my first viewing. I thought he ruined the movie. He wasn't helping. He was a crackpot. He was the architect of all their problems. But he grew on me over time.

I never heard it quite put that way. Quite an astute analysis. I love it !!
