    this is true, i doubt anyone here can honestly say they prefer diary or land over any of the original three...or maybe even the 1990 night remake.

    but i think that "diarrhea of the dead" has been said a time or two before, sorry to shit on your riff.

    Both are a meh for me. I think they suffer from the depth of the previous GAR trilogy. If they were by another director and I had lower expectations going in, I think I would have enjoyed them more. They are in my opinion better than almost anything else that has been released in the genre recently. Just victims of what we all feel a Romero movie should be. At least they weren't unwatchable shite like Day 08!

    The 90's remake was a rush-job and IMO it shows. It sucks and lacks any kind of atmosphere. The acting is probably the worst of the bunch, as well... Or at least the most uneven, which makes it stick out so much.

    I prefer both Land and Diary to the 90's remake. Land = yay. Diary = Meh. Night 90 = Boo!

    I said Land- Yay
    Diary-Yay
    I like them both enough not to give them a negative response. There things in both movies I definitely would do different way different.

    I'm sure that there are things that we all would do differently.

    There are things I would change about dawn as well so that it wouldn't come across as campy as it does. But it's what the man wanted and we either take them as a whole or reject them entirely and who amongst us is going to do that?

    re

    Land...meh (although, I've come to enjoy this one more than I did when I first watched it)....Diary...YAY (Not a perfect film, but the closest thing to a True "Romero Film" since DAY, IMO)

    I liked Land more than Diary, but to be honest both were more meh than anything. Both are really watchable and enjoyable but that is my feeling on them in regards to how they compare to the original three.

    LAND sucks the big old fat one right out of the toilet bowl, while Diary, with flaws, felt more Romero zombie, than Land did.

    So, LAND BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    DIARY WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    everytime i see this poll or any land vs. diary thread, i think back to some of the heated debates that have ensued...we need some security in case things get out of hand with arguments that are tired and pointless...so i went ahead and hired this dude...he won't take any shit off any of you guys, so keep it civil, gents.

    i think this is how the poll should've been arranged - will you change the channel?

    or how often do you dust off your copy of either film? let's face it - even the most ardent diary haters probably have a copy of the film (we do tend to be completist bastages) even if they won't own up to it. it's back there, in your secret cabinet, the one where you have to touch the B on your fake bible and twist the nose on your bust of pallas to open, you know- the place you keep your really good porn so your girlfriend/wife won't find it.

    My favorite part of that picture is that the guy has a palm knife clipped in his webbing.

    I actually dig both movies & like 'em more with each viewing. I prefer Land to Diary. I think both are definitely the weakest of the series compared to the first three films but they're not too bad either.

    Land is the only Dead film I've seen in theaters, sadly.

    Why does this poll have so many answers when it only needs 4?

    I like both
    I like land but not diary
    I like diary but not land
    I like neither

    Needlessly confusing.
