Land Gets Worse

[DEAD BEAT]

Actually....I was referring to dracenstein's comment about the band near the beginning of Land. Not so much BD... lol yeah i get you that was pretty lame that they knew not only how to act like they were playing but the fact that they stayed together for however many years they've been dead!lol you know what they say a band that plays together Rots together! lol lol they gave meaning to the term...."That band stinks!" zing!

I like Dennis Weaver's acting in it, He was brilliant in 'Blue Velvet' too. Sorry, just pulling your leg.

[dracenstein]

Okay! Okay! I got a name wrong... Apologies! I don't know where I got the Weaver from. Gonna edit my original post.

First time I saw Land, right after it was over I said "Well, at least the story was there" trying to think of something positive about it. I like several shots, especially the one where they stop the car and zombies are walking through the woods. When I saw Return of the Evil Dead (Blind Dead 2), I suspected this was where the zombies/fireworks idea was taken from. Two things that constantly bug me is how DJG hates Land but loves Dawn04 and why Basscunt hates Rotlid. Well, I have theories that they may want to use in their therapy sessions. In the reviews on Netflix for Deadlands 1, someone says Gary hates Land because he went all the way to Canada to be a zombie and was cut from the movie but got on screen in Dawn04 (it was an aha moment from the other night). Basscunt hates Rotlid cause he sees "STORY BY RICCI, RUSSO, STREINER" and wants to defend Romero's honor.

Basscunt hates Rotlid cause he sees "STORY BY RICCI, RUSSO, STREINER" and wants to defend Romero's honor.[/SIZE] No, not really. I understand why people love ROTLD. I really do. I'm not on some crusade to make others join me. Obviously I'm in the minority and that's where it stands. I just personally don't like ROTLD. That doesn't make it the worst zombie film ever, I just don't enjoy it as much as others....

ROTLD, like you said, isn't the worst zombie movie, but it just isn't good though either.

There some good bits in Land, unfortunately, they are overwhelmed by the more numerous bad bits.

I liked Land as a stand alone Zombie film but as most of you have covered it had some real issues. The whole Big Daddy thing gets annoying very very quick I agree, but the thing that stood out to me was when Cholo attacks Hoppers character. The Zombie Cholo looked much more decomposed than Big Daddy after such a short space of time. Also for me the whole Zombies using weapons cocept made them much less scary. Land clearly isnt a patch on Night, Dawn and Day but is a classic compared to Diary. Diary is so bad I am going to wait until Survival turns up on TV before I watch it.

I like Land a lot. It's a great film, great moments in it. I yawn at a lot of criticism that gets thrown it's way, because much of it is (obviously) not warranted. You can tell when someone is honest in their criticism and when someone just makes stuff up because they've decided to hate the film. Like calling Land the worst zombie film ever. Yeah right, give me a break. Maybe it is if you've only seen two films: Day and Land. You get the point. Still, I understand why some people have a problem with Big Daddy. I personally like him. I dig Eugene Clark in the role (has a fitting appearance) and I can see how that kind of thing would happen. While I do like my zombies brainless and "pure motorized instict" I kind of dig the slowly learning arc of Romero's films. It's what puts them apart from the rest. I also like moral ambiguity in stories - and Romero has plenty of that. However, I doubt anyone living in that world would see things quite like that, and the one thing I don't like about Land is how Riley "let's the zombies go at" the end of the film. Don't buy that one.
