Why people hate LOTD

[Mutineer]

I agree Absurd and lame and bad. Why do so many people hate LAND ? Cause it sucked.

Sad, but true. I agree Absurd and lame and bad. Why do so many people hate LAND ? Cause it sucked.

I hear you Bassman, but my point was, there were complex messages being passed from Big Daddy to the other "regular" zombies. I just incorperated some of my other beefs about the movie into my general rant. The idea of a GAR zombie advancing that far mentally was just plain silly. And him being able to teach the others, also silly. One would think that a zombie would start out smart, and then get dumber as time progressed, and his brain matter liquifies. Ahhh well. If the story had continued from Day, I think Bub would have communicated with others. He was smarter than BD....

If the story had continued from Day, I think Bub would have communicated with others. He was smarter than BD.... I think Bub would have gone in search of emotional solace to ease his loss. Finding the zombies lacking in compassion he'd leave the military base. His quest for love would lead him north, finally ending when he sees a shining beacon of light stretching to the heavens. Standing on the docks, peering across the river, he knows the human companionship he craves is just a short walk away. He walks into the water and begins across. And is swept to the ocean because ZOMBIES CANNOT WALK ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF A FLOWING RIVER!!! One thing I do find interesting is that at the end of Day Bub doesn't eat Rhodes. He put revenge over hunger. If you want to point to a telling similarity between Bub and BD then that's the important one imo.

And is swept to the ocean because ZOMBIES CANNOT WALK ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF A FLOWING RIVER!!! Pssst. Hey. pssst. *taps on your shoulder from behind and whispers* Zombies are fiction to begin with. You have a good point about Bub not eating Rhodes, though. I didn't think of that one.

My therapist says I'm not ready to talk about that yet but with some time and progress... Bassman & your therapist...they tell lies!!! Stay sharp soldier...stay alert!

If the story had continued from Day, I think Bub would have communicated with others. He was smarter than BD.... I don't think so, at all. He appeared to have no inclination to "talk" to the other dead as they were tearing Rhodes apart. He just left. Without Logan, Bub would have just gone back to being stupid. Remember, he did those fantastic things for a reason - "the reward". Like Logan said himself, with no reward, there is NO USE for "civilized behavior". With Logan dead, Bub wasn't getting any more rewards. And let's not forget the whole problem with "the reward", in the first place: it was human flesh! Through all of it, Bub was still just a flesheater; he was just doing tricks for it, instead of ripping it right off your skeleton. With no more "soldier jerky" being served, he would go back to just getting it in the old-fashioned way.

I walked out of DAWN 04 totally jazzed. One of the best Zombie films I have ever watched; pure entertainment, action and adrenalin. Nothing like the orginal sans the Mall and as I have oft stated, the opening scene and credits were worth the price of admission These are the exact reasons why I dislike DAWN '04: mindless filmmkaing for a non-thinking generation. There is certainly no accounting for taste (or lack thereof), but "good popcorn movie" is simply not a valid gauge of quality. There are hundreds of "popcorn movies." Thousands. A million of them! With all the available technology, any idiot can make an action/adrenaline movie. And any idiot usually does. Did you happen to catch 30 Days of Night? Now we have DAWN-like fast vampires, too, but still no story and certainly no imagination. Btw, I dislike LAND, too, but you have to admit the intro/set-up was just as cool as DAWN '04 (minus a car chase). And despite how many people hate it, the fact is that SHAUN of The DEAD had more thought put into it than either DAWN or LAND, and lo and behold, the filmmakers' ideas are actually prevalent on the screen. What a concept! One thing I do find interesting is that at the end of Day Bub doesn't eat Rhodes. He put revenge over hunger. If you want to point to a telling similarity between Bub and BD then that's the important one imo. If you recall, Bub had just fed on "his reward." He had been successfully conditioned, and there was no reason for him to feed mindlessly again or he could have eaten Logan, too.

[Legion2213]

Bub was pretty damn upset when he found Logan...the fact that he had gone to find him and "tell him" that his chain had come loose made it all the more sad. Bub was a wonderful zombie character, everybody loves Bub....Big Daddy was just an annoying git...nobody loves him.

[ProfessorChaos]

....Big Daddy was just an annoying git...nobody loves him. in fact, i'd say that everybody hates him.

*barges through the crowd and stands forward in a superman pose* actually I like big daddy, he really seemed to feel for all the other zombies dying for what in his mind was no reason, though in etrospect im one of the younger members here so maybe its a generational thing yknow?, i duno but point is there was a lot worse than big d in land, dont make me bring up "motown" again and that spanish dude. pilsbury was the **** though.

[MinionZombie]

Pilsbury was awesome. Big Daddy was good too, I liked Biggy D.
