Panch Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Yeah, in retrospect, I agree. I don't know why I put that up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 But I love Zombieland the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Yeah, its not letting me edit the poll. Logan, can you be a dear and take care of that for me. You know, with your new powers and stuff. Remove RE2 and add Zombieland. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Night of The Living Dead for me, but I fucking clicked Dawn by mistake (can a mod please fix this?) because Panch put original beside it (the fuck?) Night was the first and best. I am amazed Panch that you picked Shaun instead of a Romero flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinestetici Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I voted Shawn of the Dead, but of the movies listed 28 Days Later is my favorite. It's not a zombie movie though. The infected people are still alive, and they don't eat anyone - they are just really violent towards living things. Also, I thought 28 Weeks Later was pretty great, but I know I'm a minority in that. But you all know in your heart if something of that magnitude were to happen, the US Army would be all over it, and eventually something would fall through the cracks.

Reverend Jax Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Watched Shaun of the Dead last nght for Easter. I've seen it a million times, but I never caught before that Shaun jumping on the tampoline to clear the fence was a Zombes Ate My Neighbors reference.

Keth Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Also, I thought 28 Weeks Later was pretty great 28 Weeks was awesome. I thought it was as good as the first one. I'm still hoping for a 28 Months Later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnotizinChikns Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I loved both of the '28' movies, now I'm going to have to watch them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I am not that educated with all of the zombie movies, and yes considering who I shack up with, I should be. However, I voted Zombieland. I can't get enough of the rules and twinkles. Second choice would have been Dawn of the Dead (remake). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I really like the first half or so of the Dawn of the Dead remake. It starts out excellent, it gets straight to the point. I will remember it fondly for that. About half way through I started to lose interest, and by the end I was pretty "meh". Man, it sure does get goin with a bang though. The TV news clips in the special features were pretty badass too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) I loved those special features. The news cast was great, as well as Andy's (the sniper across the way) story. I've always wanted a whole movie about a news channel covering a zombie outbreak. Pontypool was the closest it got to this, but I'd like to see a TV news type scenario.

HypnotizinChikns Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The remake of Dawn of The Dead was my first zombie movie, wasn't into it until then. So I voted for that. and it made me scream. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinestetici Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I loved both of the '28' movies, now I'm going to have to watch them again. Seriously. If society were to fall apart because of a virus that acted like a quicker rabies, I'm 99 percent sure that's exactly what would happen. The part where the older girl is shoving pills down the younger girls throat before she was about to be raped, saying "Take this, it will make it hurt less" made me openly weep. I really like the first half or so of the Dawn of the Dead remake. It starts out excellent, it gets straight to the point. I will remember it fondly for that. About half way through I started to lose interest, and by the end I was pretty "meh". Man, it sure does get goin with a bang though. The TV news clips in the special features were pretty badass too. The first 15 min will go down in cinematic history as probably the most memorable zombie attack ever. His...aorta...and...jeez :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) There is an apparent sequel in the works on that 'Dawn' remake... While we're on the topic of memorable zombie attacks, David's death in Shaun of the dead really messed with me when I first saw it. Night was my first zombie movie, but Shaun was my first hard R zombie movie. Seeing his stomach being ripped open so realistically tops my zombie moment list.

Lycaon Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Day of the Dead reference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yup. Also, Day of the Dead is my favorite Romero zombie movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Yup. Also, Day of the Dead is my favorite Romero zombie movie Same here. I think it takes way more shit than it deserves. I have a theory that critics were harsh on it because it was the first one that didn't have some apparent social commentary. I mean, Night is about racism, Dawn is about consumerism, Day is about...uh...the military industrial complex? I have no fucking idea. Land got back in the pattern by being blatantly about Bush era bullshit. Edited April 10, 2012 by Thelogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Day also took shit because it was supposed to be a lot more epic and grandiose than the others. Thousands of extras. It was supposed to be Romero's blockbuster. Obviously, the funding wasn't there and Romero just dialed it in. Pretty good for half-assed, huh? I fucking love that movie.

Iambaytor Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have a theory that critics were harsh on it because it was the first one that didn't have some apparent social commentary. More than likely. Though I maintain that the reason that Land and Diary of the Dead were so ham-handed with social commentary was just because that was the first time Romero ever actually tried to have some. He's said several times that the only reason he cast Duane Jones in Night was because he was the best actor going for the part and the character was never written as a black man, and anything I've seen on Dawn when someone gushes over the subtle social commentaries prevalent Romero just kinda goes, "Yeah... I sure am a genius (at this point I picture him scratching the back of his neck nervously)... hey here comes the pie fight scene!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I vote for Dead Heat. It's Piscopeachy keen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
