Completely random Dawn 2004 observation ...

[coma]

nothing but fanboy banter. But.. thats why Im here! Anyone saying Dawn sucked is full of crap and only trying to protect GAR's version. Well don't ! They're two different worlds. I didnt think it sucked. I thought the writing sucked and it had all the depth of a Velveeta sandwhich, but it was fun when people werent talking or when Zombies werent flying

Anyone saying Dawn sucked is full of crap and only trying to protect GAR's version. Er nope, just telling it like it is. Ill admit (for the 100th time) that Yawn 04 was okay at the theater but way below par on dvd. I didn't care about one single character in that movie because they were all soulless assholes. An erratic script with flashy digital camerawork, nothing more. (Zack Snyder) probably saw the original once, after a long night of taking it in the butt and huffing gasoline with a group of transvestite circus midgets. That could well be the case Prof as I don't even think he saw the movie. I reckon he just read the original script, kept the mall and the dog and threw everything else out.

That girl and her dog was strait out of the 1950s school of girls shoe falls off, she is paralyzed hysterical with fear (cause they are the weaker sex) and wait prone screaming to die. A true genius would just have her take her shoe off and keep running. Like in NOTLD The telegraphing of the girls actions was hamhanded and thats generous "She lost everyone. All she has is a mangy dog" Boo hoo. Craaaaap. having to say "Not that one, the 70s one" for the rest of my life is something I will never forgive

Having to say "Not that one, the 70s one" for the rest of my life is something I will never forgive Unfortunately it's a comment that is often said about most films nowdays.

The camera pans to his face for a second when she is sobbing, I think, and it later shows them together looking at a telescope. Then boom, they are "in a relationship" or something.

I thought it was OK in the theatre but as soon as I left and startd talking about ti there was no "That part with the blah blah was awesome" , it was "That was stupid and didnt make sense" . It was like eating a reasonably tasty meal and minutes later getting explosive diarrhea.

I dont really think the skull and the poster were that similar but there were many hommages to previous GAR movies IMHO like when Sarah Polley plunked her car down and slammed into a tree very NOTLD... and when Mekkhi Pfeiffer was checking for zombies when they first got to the mall and this anorexic looking zomb plunks against the window and kinda slides across... looked a lot like one from the NOTLD remake too.

I just popped it into my DVD player and noticed something peculiar and yet so blindly obvious that I'm almost embarassed to point it out now almost 3 years after first seeing the film. There are the commonly noticed homages to the original throughout the film such as the Gaylen Ross store, the BP trucks and, of course, the WGON chopper flying through the frame. I saw something a few minutes ago that I never heard anyone mention (apologies if you saw it 3 years ago) ... but did you notice that in the opening shot on the zoom out from the skull x-ray, there are a few frames that bear striking resemblance to the original cover art for 1978 version (Airport zombie head on the horizon)? A nice touch, I thought. P.S. - As I was typing this out I noticed something else ... I think I may be going crazy ... during the intro, just as Johnny Cash says "the hair" from (the hairs on your arm will stand up) for 2 frames the image of the reporter's head distorts with a slice through the top of his head ... helicopter zombie??? if you look close to the restraunts, you will see another mention to the org. dawn. there's a restraunt called wooly's diner.(he was the s.w.a.t. member shot by peter in 107 apt. complex.) you have to look real close.
