    I've found that newbies enjoy Night68, actually. It's Dawn where they get bored in 15 minutes.

    Imo, there are two major issues that detract from night90 and fresh eyes. The 80's-ish soundtrack and the yo yo/lamebrains dialogue. Other than that it's held up well.

    Hey, if you like people who can't appreciate great films as friends that's on you, Los, I just roll my eyes at people who can't appreciate them.

    Anyway, you're all wrong...

    "Night of the Living Dead 3D" is by FAR the most superior (even better than the masterpiece known as "Night" 30th Anniversary). C'mon Sid Haig is the MAN!

    I'm actually looking forward to "Night of the Living Dead: Origins" and "Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated" as being something unique. All I know is that Joe Pilato is playing Cooper in "Origins" so it has my vote of confidence of hopefully not sucking.

    I have the Rifftrax version of "NOTLD" saved for Halloween, hoping it will be good for a laugh with a 12-pack of beer.

    If "NOTLD" is ever re-made in the future, I would think Michael Ironside would be an excellent Harry Cooper.

    Nowdays, if there's no immediate payoff people can't appreciate it.

    We now live in an adhd era which is the reason there's virtually no character development in modern film.

    I really enjoyed the remake. I'm still waiting for it to be released on blu ray. I really enjoyed that Barbara got some balls and did a little "Ripley" on those zeds. The one thing which did bother me about the remake was the screaming between Ben and Cooper. In the original, Cooper was an asshole, plain and simple and you had to have sympathy for Ben for having to put up with him. In the remake, Ben's screaming back at him was almost as annoying. They took the screaming to another level where (in my opinion), Ben turned into an asshole as well. Every time I watch that movie (and it's been many), I find myself yelling at the screen for them to shut the hell up!!!!

    If I was trapped in the house with the gang from NIGHT 90 I'd just try to find a way to get Judy alone and bang her.

    Everyone else can die as far as I'm concerned, she was rather tasty looking.

    Savini has always of course complained he didn't really have full hold on the reigns with the film, and infact it was even edited without him even there, so it would have been interesting to see what it would have been like had he been more/fully in control!

    Maybe if that rumored/sorta-kinda confirmed directors cut blu ray could finally be released. The wait is killing me.

    Yep, I liked it. Not the same as the original, but of course it wouldn't be. If only the dummy she whacks with the crow bar or whatever didn't look so fake... Of course, watching how it was done and knowing what it was probably didn't help much...

    Do you think a change of sound effect, and maybe a tiny bit of CGI blood could help that scene?

    Hmm... Interesting, Neil. Perhaps... Yes, I think it might... Or maybe just fake blood, but that would be harder to control, yeah?

    Speaking of Uncle Rege.....I know he's a cop in Pittsburgh, but does anyone know if he's ever been featured on "Cops"? I'm fairly certain i've seen him on a few of the Pittsburgh reruns. Kinda funny after having seen him in Night90 for so many years.

    Dude, I confess I have heard of this before and recall seeing this episode of Cops, though I had seen the episode before I saw the film. That dude is pretty unusual looking, though, and I rememnber that look.

    I couldn't find the episode on youtube but after a quick search i've found that it was definitely him. Just after Night90, actually. 1991.

    Season 3 » Episode #24 - Pittsburgh, PA #2
    Summary: (2:04 AM Domestic Dispute Call) Officer Pat Logan says on the job they've broken his arm, fractured his skull, stabbed him four times, run him over with a stolen car, smashed into him with a stolen car and put him out of commission a couple of time. He’s been in four gun battles and one where he saved an officer's life. He still has nightmares about gun battles and getting shot at, every once in a while wakes up in a cold sweat.

    I think it's great. Great actors, great pacing and I love the twist a the end of the film. Would love to see this cleaned up and put on blu-ray.
