Seriously, the ending was fantastic. I just loved that state of the city.

I hear Day of the Dead opens similarly? Except with a chopper touching down in the middle of a destroyed city and a woman calling out if there was anyone still alive. Then the chopper takes off as the undead shamble to their feet and emerge from the wreckage. Thats how a friend described the opening to me (a long long time ago, so I could be remembering it wrong). Is that the case? I have yet to see the movie.

I have only seen parts. But it's pretty bad. Scientists doing experiments on zombies to make them "think". Or something like that.

I can't stand to watch them in a row or anything like that. I think I might be able to sit through them in small doses. They're just ... really bad. Let me know what you think of Land of the Dead, apparently it's longer and three shots edited differently can make a crappy movie good ... so, I'm interested in that.

Yes, the ending was fantastic ... much better than the other ending ... Oh my God. f**king terrible. Like, matrix rip off terrible. I'm glad they never finished that ending. :shudder:


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I don't know if I'm going to buy Land of the Dead now. If I can go in with a friend or two we might just split the cost and It'll be like renting it. Or maybe we'll sign up for netflix as a hall.

Have you guys seen this? http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/006895.html

There was a competition to take a well known movie and recut a new trailer that changes the movie entirely.

The winner turned The Shining into a feel good dramedy.

Two other entries turned West Side Story into a zombie flick and Titanic into a horror movie.

Thought you guys might enjoy them. I thought the Shining trailer was hilarious.

Don't buy it. Don't even consider it. I don't think it'll be "good" no matter what he's done to it (However, I am curious). Like I said. I was laughing a lot in the theater and I also thought $5.50 was far too much money. It was NOT worth my five dollars. However, zombie movies are far and inbetween. Like I said, rent it or something.

That one of The Shining was amazing <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> The others were good too, but it's clear why The Shining won!

Haha yeah definitely. The way they say "shining" at the end is priceless.

Titanic: Ha ha. I like the touch of zombism.

West Side Story: Nice.

The Shining: Perfect. I love it they even used Saulsbury Hill. Ha ha ha.

The power of editing is profound.

I've been thinking about re-edting Matrix reloaded. The only problem is, there's one part that can't be fixed with editing alone.

If you do, can you cut down/out the neo love scene?

As it's part of "the rave" yeah. It would turn into just a sex scene. Without Keanu ass. I'd just cut to the far shot of them.

Yes, I've thought about it before.

It'd be pretty awesome to cut in stuff from Enter the Matrix too. That'd really help so other stuff could be cut.

I like the movie and all, but there's some stuff I just hate about it. However, I wouldn't touch the Chateau fight or the freeway scene (except one shot, which I hate)

The beginning of the movie would get the most editing. The matrix code would cut to the building where Trinity jumps out of. And later on I'd cut in the clock in footage and NOT that retarded opening fight.

Why'd they make her look like a man in the second two movies?

I really need to rewatch them. I can't even picture the scenes you're describing, nor guess which shots you hate.

I've seen the first one quite a few times, but the other two are fuzzy in my head. I can't even really tell them apart.

Yeah. I know a lot of people who HATE the second two. It's because they were expecting to see the first movie with new action or something. I didn't expect that. I actually like the second two movies more now than I did when I first saw them.

But, they need work.

Watched the first 4 episodes of an anime series called Gantz tonight. Pretty gory and sexually explicit, but it's an interesting premise and it's (so far) set itself up for the possibility of having many many interesting characters. Visually it's quite cool, mixing in CG stuff which admittedly looks kinda outta place but very nice in it's own right. I don't wanna spoil it at all for any anime fans (and I don't recommend anybody who thinks they are going to watch it go hunting for more info - it will inevitably contain spoilers which are necessary to divulge ANY of the story!), but I highly recommend checking it out if you're into that sort of thing. My flatmate tells me it's based on a manga, so if that's your preferred medium then that is available too <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I saw Serenity.

I enjoyed it and recommended it to a few friends. Endearing characters, some definite great moments.

I really liked the long fluid shots... especially one in the hangar pre-robbery.

I rented and watched Undead yesterday.

This movie was rediculous. It's technically not even a zombie movie. As funny as it is, it took awhile for me to shed my expectation for zombies and ... um ... you know? Structured plot.

"One day you're a fisherman in a boat ... the next minute you've got zombie fish biting your face" <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

I went and saw MirrorMask tonight. Great. See it. You wont like it, I'm sure.
It's very, obviously, out of the mind of Neil Gaiman (SandMan, 1602, American Gods) It's probably the most abstract movie I've seen ... ever. It's so beautifully yet obscurly constructud visually that I had to rub my eyes when the theater lights came up. The overlayed theme is very fantastical. To the T, actually. A White Queen, a Black Queen in the lands of light and shadow seperated by the land of dreams and hopes.

This is one of those movies, media, that has shadow as a physical entity. Which is, yes, awesome.

I loved it. And I can't really describe what it's about because that would severly degrade the film. (The plot written out is pretty silly and sounds terrible, but it isn't)

Take a view. I suggest it. Especially if you like Gaiman's work.

Doom is getting extremely sour reviews. Of course, we all expected that.

Coulda been worse - I'm seeing a fair few 6/10's in there :P We're considering going to see it at the cinema for a laugh - odd how we seem to visit the cinema more often to laugh at s**t films than we do to enjoy good ones <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Watched Hitchhikers guide. I am having a very difficult time understanding British humour.

Its no damned wonder my jokes go over most of your heads. You almost had me believing they were that dumb. After watching this movie I can see why they flew so high over you.

The shovel bit in the face had me in stitches though. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/rofl.gif">

Also this bit of wisdom: "Space, according to the guide is really,really big"




There is no history until something happens, then there is.

UD, I have to honestly say: Most of the jokes you make aren't particularly funny. :P
