"Survival" to play Fantastic Fest also

[bassman]

Really good retort bassman. It's always interesting reading your thought provoking posts. Glad I can be of service! I think you might be on to something though. Romero and Grunwald are probably just testing the waters on the title of "Survival", you know, to see what the fans think. All I'm saying is that word-of-mouth isn't really proof. But we've been through all that. The main thing is....I just want a trailer and poster.

Did Nicotero or Romero tell you that while you were going down on them? In what sort of bizzaro, f*ckd-up universe is it considered a good idea to post something like that? The distributor is ultimately responsible for the trailer and/or promotion. Even so, what difference does it make if the film plays at festivals as "Survival..." and is later changed when a distributor gets their hands on it? Having some semblance of priorities in life can be a good thing.

Anyone knows when that might be by the way?

Well i hope u are not just realising that this is a bizzaro f*cked up universe and has been for a very long time. I think it was a fair question, all things considered. (like his slamming of Bassman in another post) and seeing how Leo (Diet-Khardis) made it quite clear how he didnt care what I thought or said, he gave me free reign to say whatever I want about him. He did. So, I need to correct u Bassman. He wasnt going down on them, he was bent over. He needed his mouth free to conduct an interview. Your making lots of friends here Leo (Diet-Khardis). oh...and i dont like the idea of zombie horses. and the title is kinda dumb.

(Diet-Khardis) . Oh and . . . . . . Post 2000 bitches!!!!!!!!!!

[AcesandEights]

That did get a chuckle out of me, too. Post 2000 bitches!!!!!!!!!! Very nice! As far as the movie is concerned, I do agree with Darth that there is some hope, but the way the blurb for the film I quoted earlier made me feel was that Survival might be like Land and Diary in that they are nothing more than a pretext at deeper films, telegraphing their 'deep' and 'meaningful' points. I hope to see skillfully handled subtext.

It's like a joke that you have to sit there and explain after you've delivered the punchline. It ceases to be what was intended. That precious time could be used for other things like I don't know...CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MAYBE! Which by the way was practically non existent in diary and isn't that one of the things hat we all love about the original trilogy?

I hope to see skillfully handled subtext. Keep hope alive!!! But be prepared for reality.

I don't worry about making friends on the internet, especially ones like you or bassman(to name a couple) who can't really debate me on any point, so they throw out crude and idiotic posts. It would have been so easy to come back with a similar crude reply, but what's the point?

don't you think that after a while, the family members would realize that not much can be done to bring back their dead loved ones? about as lame as cholo's ransom demands and jason's camera obsession.... ...and really, living dead horses? fuck that stupid shit...."meh" readings now at record levels for this film...i'll probably see it in the theaters, but may end up leaving this one out of the dvd collection....even "completionist's rationale" can only go so far.....zombie horses....give me a break. EDIT: and i'm in no way taking sides or getting involved, but that "diet-khardis" shit is too funny...

[kortick]

Friends? I pity anyone who has u for a friend. Ill make this so simple even you can understand Diet-Khardis: You are an asshole, and a douche bag. Me. I am a rotten bastard and worse, I freely admit it. But if u can't get along with Bassman who is one of the easiest people to get along with then there really is something wrong with you. My apologies to everyone else for interupting this thread. I will not do so again. U can reply if u want Diet Khardis but it won't be read by me. But do waste ur time if u feel like it.

Obviously I haven't seen the film, but if it's how I imagine it...I could see how some people would try it. Especially mothers and fathers with their children. Of course it seems ridiculous to zombie fans like us, but you've got to remember that it's really easy for some people to snap under extreme situations, ya know? Ever heard of a mother going into a sort of catatonic state after her child dies and not wanting to let the body go? I kinda relate it to that. If that makes sense...

I live in the Austin area and will try to go see it. I know the tickets for Tarantino's movie tomorrow are $100 a piece. I don't know how much the badges are so I'll have to check. Be cool to see Romero but I would be mad if the movie sucks. I remember when Blair Witch came out in Austin I was very disappointed after driving during my lunch break into downtown to get tickets and drag my girlfriend who hates horror movies to go see it for her to get a headache from the shakey cameras. It was not worth it. Since then I don't get hyped about movies, I can wait for the dvd to come out.
