George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead

[bassman]

Just didn't see any productivity in it becoming a debate.... Isn't that what this place is for?

Isn't that what this place is for? Unproductive debates? It's our specialty

But seriously, If anyone can't tolerate the opinions of of others on this forum, perhaps THEY should leave. If there's something you don't agree with fine, then make it known. It's your right. But if someone is making a point, civilly, I don't really see what the problem is. Many people think that just because they believe soemthing fervently that makes it a fact. I'm here to tell you that it ain't so.

Thank you everyone, thank you. I'll be here all week and remember that the 9 o'clock show is totally different from the 3 o'clock.

Soooo.....it's your opinion that it ain't so. Does that make it fact? That however is one of the few Universal truths in life. No one knows everything and no one has a monopoly on the truth. And beware of anyone who says that they do. So yeah, that is a fact.

[bassman]

I was just pulling your chain, darth. So yeah....Survival of the Dead. News would be nice...

[AcesandEights]

So yeah....Survival of the Dead. News would be nice... Definitely. So, has there been an official confirmation that this is the title?

[krakenslayer]

Yeah, a completed trailer would be nice, since the post-production is obviously finished - or nearly finished - now.

Wasn't a big deal, I'm just used to the knee-jerk reaction by some when you happen to bring up GAR's unfortunate addiction to prioritizing social commentary over plot. A lot of times when you make such a statement in support of a separate idea (which the main debate concerns) things get derailed into a separate debate about the commentary/plot issue. Now, that's fine. Like you said, everyone is ABSOLUTELY entitled to their own opinion. My saying "keep it to yourself" was in no wise an attempt to abridge anyone's freedom to express any opinion they wish. I could have phrased it better I admit, since what I was trying to convey was my disinterest/unwillingness to participate in such a side debate again. Freedom of expression is one of the few freedoms no one has come up with a way to screw up yet, and I cherish it. Just thought I'd explain my statement.

Definitely. So, has there been an official confirmation that this is the title? Good lord yes. Here is a link to the Toronto Int. Film Festival site... http://tiff.net/filmsandschedules/fi...aromerosofthed Google is a wonderful thing, you know?

[bassman]

Good lord yes. Here is a link to the Toronto Int. Film Festival site... http://tiff.net/filmsandschedules/fi...aromerosofthed Google is a wonderful thing, you know? I'm not sure about Aces, but I don't know if I would call this official. Most likely this IS what the film is called, but it being listed as such on a schedule for a festival isn't exactly an official announcement...

I'm not sure about Aces, but I don't know if I would call this official. Most likely this IS what the film is called, but it being listed as such on a schedule for a festival isn't exactly an official announcement... We know, at least, that it's the title it will be playing under at TIFF. No guarantee that this will be the definitive name though. Take Dawn for example, it had about 15 different titles around the world. Even here in the UK, it was intially released as Zombies, with Dawn of the Dead as a subtitle (although over the years we've gradually fallen into like with the US on the title), wheras in several European countries it was called Zombi, and numerous other titles (including the amusing Dutch title: In de greep van de zombies). Given the back-and-forth over the title for this one, I can see it potentially being given different names in different territories, perhaps even showing under the ...of the Dead in some areas.

Bit of an iffy title, I think... does anyone know if it's going straight to video( which would be ok) or going to theaters(which would be better).

[thxleo]

I'm not sure about Aces, but I don't know if I would call this official. Most likely this IS what the film is called, but it being listed as such on a schedule for a festival isn't exactly an official announcement... Do you guys think TIFF just made that title up? What exactly are you looking for as for an "official announcement"?

[capncnut]

Do you guys think TIFF just made that title up? What exactly are you looking for as for an "official announcement"? Agreed, Lee. This is quite a silly debate actually. I got that beat.
