50 reasons why Return of the Living Dead sucks

[kortick]

Ouch. Hellsing, Thats one you owe Andy.

[Mr_Shadow]

Looks like 50 reasons to dust off my dvd and watch it again LoL

[mista_mo]

OI! HOWS ABOUT REEZON 51! it's ookie

[bassman]

The real irony is that no-one made you watch this movie Of course no one made me watch it. Just as no one made MZ watch the crap films that he made lists for. In one of those threads I threw out the idea of doing one for ROTLD because I've always disliked it and certain people said I should. Unfortunately I have the film on DVD, so I decided to make the list.

Man ROTLD is a piece of trash. I can't sit through it, although I have...I never watch it if its on....such lame-ness. really boring, silly jokes that hit and miss, terrrible characters, just plain awful effects and NO THAT GIRL IS NOT HOT. ROTLD 3 has the hot chick, that movie was at least passable...but let's face it...its trash..."no we aint going to the hospital even though our friend is choking up blood, we've gotta hunt down that scary girl who bit him in the shop first!!"....erm...yeah right....

But Bassman, and myself, are getting enjoyment from creating bitch lists for sucky films - some of which were flat out requested even - meanwhile hellsing doesn't seem to be getting any joy from it, so it just complaining in general - which hooks a 180 back to "if you don't like it, don't read it" ... so the irony is ultimately silenced by the assassin of "ahhh, but". I'm beginning to think you're such a joyless, picky bunch...

[kortick]

Im sorry. But it is still ZING to Andy. Like I said, Bass can hate any movie he wants for any reason We all know that. "But Bassman, and myself, are getting enjoyment from creating bitch lists for sucky films " MZ "I need to take a shower. This thing makes me feel like dirty sh*t..." Bass yeah things i get enjoyment from always make me feel that way. LOL "these numbered lists are starting to wear thin." Hellsing "meanwhile hellsing doesn't seem to be getting any joy from it, so it just complaining in general" MZ I really dont see that as a joyless complaint just an observation. we all know Hellsing could have put it much stronger if that was his intent. "the film used satire and comedy as much as scares to create a good blend and youve kinda missed that" Hellsing making an observation " See, I don't buy that they intended this movie to be funny" "Just look at the promotion for the film - they advertised it as a horror!" Bass. These assumptions were proven incorrect. So Hellsing did nothing wrong. He expressed his opinion on something then questioned the basis Bass was using to judge the movie which turned out to be false, it was always marketed as a horror/comedy, and of course it would have jokes about NOTLD it was co written by John Russo, hello? "I was simply pointing out the irony of the fact that your whining at hellsing for posting in a topic he dosn't like, while the whole purpose of the topic is moaning about a film you dont like" Andy i cant see a flaw in Andys logic. It is terribly ironic. "I'm beginning to think you're such a joyless, picky bunch..." MZ This is of course, true. No need for doubt. But beleive it or not I like these lists. You guys come up with stuff I noticed but never paid attention to. I couldnt list 50 things about a movie i hate.

[MinionZombie]

Geez, try and bring a bit of quick fun to the forum, and it all turns into some pick-fest...

Geez, try and bring a bit of quick fun to the forum, and it all turns into some pick-fest. Them's the breaks.

bassman, your words are full of truth. ROTLD is trash, I wrote a blog on Myspace about it not too awfully long ago. But- you missed the worst thing that "film" has done to our beloved sub-genre. Ever since it came out, the mainstream AUTOMATICALLY thinks "braaaaains" when zombies are mentioned. And THAT really sucks. Long time lurker, first time poster!

[kortick]

Oh its all in fun Like i said i enjoy these lists The list Bass put together is great. ROTLD was a fun movie to watch when it came out. i guess cuz i knew it was a comedy and having seen Day only a short time earlier, and it being so dark maybe the contrasts between the tones of the 2 films affected how I viewed it. it was supposed to be stupid i mean my god, the acting, the lines its all over the top. Really Dan O'Bannon wrote it. He wrote the original Alien script as well as Dead and Buried and 2 segments in Heavy Metal. He is more than capable of writing horror. He put humor in there on purpose. it was what was known in the 80s as "splatterpunk". And as for your not liking brains as a zombie catch phrase it only seems obvious people would latch on to that seeing how Romeros zombies dont talk. Next movie to trash is what? I'm ready for it.

[Mike70]

Next movie to trash is what? I'm ready for it. i say that someone needs to do the 30th anniversary edition of NOTLD. MZ doesn't have a copy of it (i;ve already agitated for him to do one) but someone out there with a sense of humor that has copy, should take a stab at it. house of the dead is another obvious target.

[DubiousComforts]

i say that someone needs to do the 30th anniversary edition of NOTLD. I'd do it, but I don't think I can count that high.

[MinionZombie]

Someone gimme a copy and I'll do it. Or if I found it *ahem* then I'd do it, purely on the new stuff of course, the actual movie is awesome. Heck a print is in that library or whatever, really famous collection of art works or something, in America innit?
