Land vs. Diary's potential

[axlish]

i was inclined to vote like capnknut but I want to be hopefull that Diary will be better so I chose "Diary should blow Land out of the Allegheny River" I liked Land but it did not measure up to Dawn or Day by a longshot. It was overly "Hollywood" it was obvious that Universal had more control over the movie than Romero. I liked it when he casted all unknowns. I am hoping Diary will shine. I guess that may be wishful thinking. HLS, this is probably your best post thus far in your illustrious HPotD history, worthy of points if we still had the system.

Im excited about Diary. Land was the 1st GAR zombie movie that I think some other zombie movies are better than. I think Diary will fall somewhere between Day and Land for me....hopefully closer to Day.

My choice is more like Land was good but Diary looks much much better Agreed! GAR with a 50 buck budget and shooting in the woods equals a poosible masterpiece. The more I hear aboutt his the more excited i am getting. I didnt want to get my hopes up because it might have goten shelved. 2 GAR zombie flicks in 1 decade is a wealth of riches.

I think an indipendent movie from a recognized author is an act of extreme bravery, today.

"Land...Diary...equally promising" I liked Land.....but I'm hoping Diary will be super duper badass.......(I bet if I said super duper badass anywhere else I would get my ass kicked)

"Land...Diary...equally promising" I liked Land.....but I'm hoping Diary will be super duper badass.......(I bet if I said super duper badass anywhere else I would get my ass kicked) I hope DIARY is not like BLAIR WITCH CRAP. Just an old-fashioned Zombie movie by the Master-Himself Romero.

By the looks of things it won't be all Blair Witch as TBWP was entirely from the viewpoint of the 3 documentary makers at the center of the film. Diary of the Dead looks like it'll be switching back and forth between the eye of the filmmaker and the eye of the protagonists. Also, not sure, but it appeared as if he was shooting in HD possibly...

On the other hand, 2001 is a crappy movie by all standards... I hope DIARY is not like BLAIR WITCH CRAP... You certainly have an intelligent way with words. 2001 and Blair Witch are crap in your eyes but Simon Baker is god? I think you need a few movie lessons mate.

You certainly have an intelligent way with words. 2001 and Blair Witch are crap in your eyes but Simon Baker is god? I think you need a few movie lessons mate. What? There's no real universal law that says 2001 is a good film and that Simon Baker is bad? If anything, you're the one that needs "movie lessons" man.

I Liked both 2001 AND Blair Witch. Blair witch was really good for a no budget movie. It was novel at the time and was pretty creative to get the most out of a low production value featute. I wouldn't give it a repeat view, but it was good the first time. And 2001 is lame? Huh?!?! Why? No CGI? Hal 9000 is one of the great villians of all time.

There's no real universal law that says 2001 is a good film and that Simon Baker is bad? Where on my post does it say 'Simon Baker is bad', I said 'god' so I guess you need to take a trek to the opticians dude. Hal 9000 is one of the great villians of all time. You knows it!

2010 is not that bad, it's far better than what some people wanted us to believe. On the other hand, 2001 is a crappy movie by all standards, but please don't let me even start on this... don't wanna be flamed. I feel 2001 was a superb movie. I just watched this Saterday night. For its time, it was an award winning movie. Yes there are parts of the movie that is painfully slow but that was made up for with stunning space scenes and creepy music that penetrated your soul. Back then hollywood considered telling a real story in a movie was more important than GCI and a ton of useless fasted pase adventure scenes. And HAL 9000 was a great villian. I do agree 100% Hal 9000 is one of the great villians of all time. Thats for damn sure!

See 2001 on a big screen and you can see the true beauty of it. And some mental "enhancements" help too. Though the opportunities on a big screen are probably only limited to film society screenings. Used to be a midnight show staple
