How Much Does this Day of the Dead 2007 Poster Suck?!

[MinionZombie]

Okay, what's your position working on the movie?

[LouCipherr]

The asshole director denied the three previous movies, all of which had very solid continuity. *chokes on the soda he's drinking and spits it all over his monitor* WHAT?! Very solid continuity? maybe... but the stories SUCKED DONKEY ASS! Did we forget the whole story about the 'cult'? Dude, you need to stop snorting so much HPotD, it's affecting your thinking. C'mon, that cult crap was so far from the original Halloween concept and the whole idea of the movie it's not even funny. I am a HUGE John Carpenter & Halloween fan (although the one ones I think are valid are I & II - and the ONLY reason I like H20 is because of Jamie Lee) but dude, c'mon, those movies sucked if just for the sh*t story line alone. Ignoring the previous movies when making H20 was the smartest move the fanchise could have made. After part 4, it went right down into the sh*tter and never came back out until the announcement that RZ will be doing the next film. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone impressed with Halloween series after part 4. Everyone I know who is a huge fan can't stand anything after "Return..." This is IMO of course (that's for you bassman. ) No one has to agree with me unless they're uttery and totally insane - or an opinionated asshole like myself. back on topic: That poster sucks, just like the movie probably will, but I'll download it anyway and give it a chance. Oops, did I just say that outloud? (i got to this thread a bit late, so i'm just gettin' to post a reply.. sorry 'bout that chief. )

Oops, did I just say that outloud? (i got to this thread a bit late, so i'm just gettin' to post a reply.. sorry 'bout that chief. ) You're missing the point. I'm not debating the quality of Halloween 5 or 6. My point is that H20 pretended Michael Myers had been sitting on his ass for 20 something years, after Halloween 2. So those three or four dozen people he killed during those 20 years, and three movies, were all part of a dream sequence? Not to mention an entire family of distant relatives who were introduced and never followed upon. Come on. Moustapha Akkad was involved with all of the Halloween movies, up until his death, including those later day sequels. He really should have handled it better. It would have took all of two seconds and two lines to somehow tie that movie (H20) into the previous 3. It could have even been done without confusing people who only saw the first 2. Halloween 1 and 2 take place on the same night, only to be followed by a third movie which Michael Myers isn't even in. Halloween 4, 5 and 6 all tie in together, whether the cult business makes sense or not. That is the longest stretch of consistency the series has had. You really need to read up on some fan sites or hit the Michael Myers conventions. There are a hell of a lot of people who are die-hard Halloween fans and are as devoted to Donald Pleasence and Danielle Harris (Jamie Lloyd) as they are Jamie Lee Curtis, regardless of how much money the movies with Jamie Lee made when compared to the "other" sequels. There are quite a few people who consider either the little girl Jamie, or Dr. Loomis, to be their favorite character in the series, aside from Michael. Sure, there might not have been a series without Jamie Lee Curtis, but Akkad and a bunch of other people had something to do with the series, too. I think it was stupid for H20 to pretend that Jamie Lee Curtis' character (Laurie) never had a daughter (Jamie). Not only was Jamie's death swept under the rug but so was her entire existence. She isn't even mentioned by Laurie Strode or her son. Like the movies or not, she was a main character in 2 of them and a key character in the third (though played by a different actress). Meanwhile, the H20 introduces Laurie's son, who isn't even on the radar in any previous films. It is worth noting that when the movie was first being put together, Akkad did want to have H20 make reference to the 4th, 5th and 6th movies. Early on in H20, Laurie Strode was supposed to find out about Jamie's death somewhere along the line. Apparently the director insisted that this little tidbit not be included. My last point would be that Rob Zombie being involved does not guarantee a great movie. Better people than him have messed up a sequel/franchise or two in their lifetime.

My last point would be that Rob Zombie being involved does not guarantee a great movie. Better people than him have messed up a sequel/franchise or two in their lifetime. Of course not, but at least his head is in the right place when it comes to making the next in the series (although he claims it's not a sequel, why are they calling it part 9? I'm sure that could change, i'm just sayin'). I just went to see the original Halloween on the big screen on Monday night and RZ was part of the Featurette called "Halloween: The Shape of Fear" which aired just before the film - the way he explains how he's going to approach the remake/reinvisioning (what-the-hell-ever) gives me a lot of faith that even if it's not going to be the best movie, his head is in the right place as far as how to approach the film (unlike the bozos who made parts 3-8), and I think if anyone can pull off the cinematography and make a new Halloween film look like the original, it's gonna be RZ - but, who knows, he could put out a new Halloween turd, just like they have been since Halloween 3. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. As far as the other Halloween movies (4-8) - sure, I'm sure there's plenty of fans, but they bastardized the story of Meyers after part 4 and there's probably not one person who could deny that. They may have 'fans' of those films, but compare the number of fans of parts 4-8 to the number of fans that like 1 & 2. Most people know which stories weren't just a "grasp at straws" in hopes of continuing the franchise. I understood what you meant about H20, but even so, it was a hell of a lot better than the premise than the movies that came after part 4. Remember, Michael sat in a mental institution for how many years before he came back to Haddonfield in the first film? What makes you think he's grown more impatient in his later years? Maybe he took a long vacation and was resting in the Bahamas trying to tan that pale face of his, who knows?

*whistles* hey guys, thread went THAT way. Silly Meyers fans. Everyone knows he's a regenerative cannibal who was born under a dark moon to a cult of dark worshippers. *Rehijacks the thread* Did someone say a vegetarian zombie? Oh God Bud. What have they done to you?!! (And you KNOW that's how they will rationalize it as being "as politically charged as anything that Romero fella can do". Buzzards. I frickin' hate em.

This one should have zombies takin' a poo If you really want to see a zombie take a poo (on a toilet, no less), then there's always Necro Files 2, which features that lovely cinematic first (and last), as well as the aftermath--with worms crawling around in it! LOL The Day remake poster is cheesy in an 80s sort of way mixed with the blatant Land of the Dead imagery. It is also (presumably) inaccurate and if it is, certainly not faithful to established GAR zombie mythology, or even Dawn remake mythology. Not that there's anything wrong with zombies coming out of their graves, IMO. It worked well in ROTLD and has a very Tales From The Crypt flavor to it. I like my zombies any way I can get 'em, though my preference is for GAR shamblers rather than the zombie "track stars" of recent films. In my upcoming movie, True Necromance, I play a zombie who rises from the grave to seek revenge on the unfaithful wife who murdered him (I was literally buried alive for the role), and the zombie killer rises from the grave in both of my Necro Files films.
