ok but how is this im trying to pick it up later.



toggletoggle post by Dave_Maggot   at May 20,2008 4:36pm
there was some complaints that the acting was crappy. and for the most part it is. but i'm a die hard horror fan and i dont expect oscar worthy performances. theres zombies, blood, gore, people dying. one thing i'd be against is some of the gore is digital. but its done well, so it fits. i like the movie. but i also have a romero zombie tattoo sleeve. if you trust my judgement, then get it. if not, at least rent it.

again incase you didnt see the thread about it. megan and i got so bored with the movie we started drinking and coming on here to post.

not worth watching at all. the broad didnt even show her tits.

i figured for the most part that it would be bad. thats a shame too, cuz i know steve miner is a compitent horror director.

yeah idk maybe youll like it, i got bored so fast with it.

re: day of the dead remake

mena doesn't even get close to naked

the only worthy moment is Vin Rhames turning into a legless zombie and eating his own eyeball

i knew it was going to bad but had to do it anyways

Just watch the original Day Of The Dead.

THIS ISNT A GOD DAMN FIELD TRIP, PEOPLE

THIS IS A WAR

Seriously,

This movie was absolute trash. I'm usually pretty critical of horror movies, and of most movies in general, but this was unwatchable. The acting isn't even what's bad about it. The acting just didn't match the dialogue or the scenes, or the film at all. The dialog written is absolute shit. Romero either wrote the script in a day, or paid a high school kid to write it for him.

The monologues are so unbelievably didactic you'll want to hang yourself. That and the nonstop pop culture references to youtube and myspace just make your eyes glaze over like when your uncle tries to tell you about "This great new thing called The Google." Romero makes absolutely no attempt to creatively get his message across. I'm pretty sure what happened was that he got so distracted by people telling him he's George Romero that he forgot how to write a screenplay entirely.

Let's get back to the acting. This is one of those movies where every single character has a dramatic but out of place Rocky IV one liner. You know the scene where Adrian confronts Rocky about the Drago fight, and tells Rocky he has to change, and Rocky pulls off this soap opera turnaround (from the shadows of his dark house, metaphorically gazing up from the bottom of the staircase) shouts "Well maybe I don't wanna change!" That was how every single scene in Diary of the Dead ends. Some asshole pulls off some corny predictable line that no one would ever say in real life and you sit there and sarcastically say "Ooooooooh.... she went to acting school."

This movie sucks. Sucks. Frame 00:00:00:00:01 to the very end. Terrible.

I have to agree this was pretty bad. I know Romero's zombie movies are always full of political and social commentary, but it's annoyingly obvious and constantly in your face in this one. Pretty much every scene is preaching about guns, violence, racial/cultural tension or the media. If you're in for the zombies and gore, just pop in one of the classics, there's nothing special or creative for the gore hounds here either.

Dave has a lot of great ink, so he would probably be happy to put his evil in ya

haha sweet. actually so far its a half sleeve, hope thats still good and marriage worthy though haha. im getting more added to it on july 22nd. i cant wait. at some point i will get a land of the dead tat, i dont think i'll get a diary of the dead one. nothing really stands out enough to get a tattoo of. for the upper part of the sleeve im gonna get a tattoo from zombie, return of the living dead 1 and 2. and a shaun of the dead tattoo. i already have an evil dead 2 tat up there, but i gotta get it re-done.



toggletoggle post by Miss Meggly at May 20,2008 8:31pm
Half sleeve is good enough. I think the Burt Reynolds zombie (post bullet wound) from 2004's Dawn would make a cool looking tat...



toggletoggle post by Dave_Maggot   at May 20,2008 8:39pm
oh yeah, i'll probably get a tat from that movie too.

yeah, definitley give it a rent. i just buy things i wanna see any way. thats how i ended up with flight of the living dead and behind the mask.



toggletoggle post by Miss Meggly at May 20,2008 9:25pm
even the trailer on this movie sucks so i def. wouldn't buy it.



toggletoggle post by Yeti at May 20,2008 9:39pm
yeah i'm thinking twice about picking this up. Mike you should direct a parody called Diarrhea of the Dead.

I was very disappointed in Diary of the Dead. Total washout.

it sucks but i like it. im gonna take my dvd and rock back n forth in my happy place for a year or 20



toggletoggle post by thuringwethil at May 20,2008 10:00pm
don't get me wrong, I love George A. Romero, he's a goddamn NATIONAL TREASURE

and I do think this was a more coherent commentary on the media than "Natural Born Killers"

I just thought it sucked as a horror / zombie movie. I like the 'siege' aspect of the others in his series



toggletoggle post by Dave_Maggot   at May 20,2008 10:17pm
yeah, he couldve done a lot better.

keep in mind i read nobodies responses.
I love the horror genre, have since i was a kid.
This might be the most overhyped horror movie in recent memory.
I remember hearing about it and the concept and shit and i was so excited. Saw it the week it came out and almost walked out.
I expect bad acting in horror, and most of the time i can see past that, however, every single character was so much more cliche then anything i had ever seen.
Also, the dialogue was horrible forced, not one piece of conversation seemed natural whatsoever.
The narration was hysterically bad..."it like a car crash on the side of the road, no one knows why they stop they just do"
shit like that makes me fucking vomit! how many times in how many other equally bad horror movies has that analogy(haha anal) been used.
Just my two cents...wouldve asked for a refund if i could.



toggletoggle post by thuringwethil at the library at May 21,2008 4:49pm
I just thought it was a terrible film, MAN it's hard to believe Romero could make something so poopy

and I'd been all psyched for it too



toggletoggle post by kevord  at May 21,2008 5:54pm
I went to see it the weekend it came out. I'm an insanely huge Romero fan. But diary of the dead was a pile of shit. To be honest everything Romero's done after 1990 hasn't been that great. I'll just watch Martin, The Crazies, the dead trilogy, Creepshow and Two Evil Eyes.



toggletoggle post by Dave_Maggot   at May 21,2008 6:23pm
honestly i agree. two evil eyes was his last actually good movie, watchable, non-cheesy film. i have a soft spot for the old man, cuz dawn of the dead got me into horror when i was really young. like around the age of 3 or 4. i've lived my life by horror ever since. then later in life metal. i'll still watch bruiser, land of the dead, and diary of the dead over and over because i have an undying loyalty for romero. i'll turn a blind eye to his failures. and put my money into whatever he puts out. its like if youre best friend is in a really shitty nu-metal band. and you know it. but you buy the shirts, the cds, go to the shows. i'm just loyal. if any other director fails, they can go fuck themselves though.
