Secret Window and Dawn DVD
 
Saw Secret Window last night....Holy **** that movie was weird! Damn good tho. Best movie I've seen since ROTK. I highly suggest everybody goes out and sees it NOW. Johhny Depp was amazing like always, and the ending was crazy!

I also picked up the new Dawn of the Dead DVD at best buy for $11.99. I haven't had a chance to sit down and watch it with the commentary yet, but I can't wait to. Anybody else picked this up yet?

Not yet, I'll wait till the new one hits, then buy both in one swoop. But, then again, maybe they'll have a special pack.

Uh, this is the new one....Or is there another new one coming out?

Brodie 03-13-2004 11:02 AM

Dawn of the Dead?.........The one out on DVD is probably the 80's version... With 4 survivors at the mall instead of 7. The new one hasn't hit theatres yet, not until the 19th

Oh....I thought you were talking about another new DVD...Anyway, I'll take the original of that POS re-make anyday.

Brodie 03-13-2004 11:12 AM

How can you say it's POS? Sure, remakes suck donkey ass. But There might be some good in this one. Not all remakes are bad, take for instance The Punisher....Change is good. No Dolph Lungred(sp).

Treu, but I can tell from the trailer that it's gonna suck....Running zombies? WTF is up with that?

the trailer looks awsum. and hey, your the one who loved 28 days later. they ran in that movie. running zombies arent always bad .

Brodie 03-13-2004 11:32 AM

Let's just agree that it won't be as bad as:

House Of The Dead (Zombies that flip)
Resident Evil (Where's Leon, bitch?)


And I think the running is just because of different zombies, depending on decay. Newly changed aren't decayed as much as, say, ones dead for a week.

Edit: Yeah, And 28 days later kicked ass. But people say they werent zombies.............they were.........Rage...Zombies...

leon was one of the bad characters from resident evil that no one liked. thats why he wasnt in it. i cant wait for apocolypse with jill valentine. shes the best RE character ever.

jeff the cheff 03-13-2004 02:30 PM

I saw secret window last night too and it was awesome. I recomend seeing it also.

Wes 03-13-2004 05:21 PM

Just picked up my copy of Dawn of the Dead. $11.99 was too good to pass up. :)

And hey, Brodie, I liked the old Punisher film (have it on dvd)...and I have a feeling I'm going to like it waaaaay better than this new one. I mean c'mon, it's got naked Dolph in a sewer and a drunken thespian bum who speaks in rhyme. No superhero has ever had a better sidekick. Unless the drunken thespian bum is in the new one, it won't even come close. :goof:

Uhm, no. Leon is one of the best characters in the Resident Evil. He's the only realistic one. Him, Chris and Jill are the only 3 that don't get annoying. Where as Claire, Barry, Rebecca, Billy, Wesker, Steve, Sherry, Ada, Carlos, etc, are all annoying. Those characters are either carbon copies of other characters or minorities that the video game creators felt they needed to put in. Leon is the only realistic one because he does get freaked out, whereas some other characters act like super humans. He has the ONLY realistic job: a rookie cop. As opposed to an Umbrella Militant, or Military agents in a police station?

I can see why Jill is your favorite character, she's a believable character, but the rest just seem...blah...

How you can say "everyone hated leon" is beyond me because it isn't true. If it was, Capcom wouldn't be using him for the basis of their longest, most artistically rounded, greatest looking, and the final game. The game to bring everything to a close.

Yes, I do love 28 days later, but they weren't zombies in that movie. Zombies are the undead, 28 days later were people infected with a virus called rage.

Brodie 03-14-2004 05:45 PM

Untrue. Zombies in the Resident Evil games are called Infected, because they have the virus, not always undead.

Well, that's a video game. Not a movie. :P

Brodie 03-14-2004 06:07 PM

Ah but those games are better than most zombie movies. They were better than the movie based on it.

cqb101 03-14-2004 06:20 PM

The resident evil games are great and the movie sucks. But technicaly the "zombies" in resident evil aren't zombies either. Here's the definition of a zombie:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=zombie

zombie

n 1: a dead body that has been brought back to life by a supernatural force [syn: zombi, the living dead] 2: (voodooism) a spirit or supernatural force that reanimates a dead body [syn: zombi, zombi spirit, zombie spirit] 3: a god of voodoo cults of African origin worshipped especially in W Indies [syn: zombi, snake god] 4: someone who acts or responds in a mechanical or apathetic way; "only an automaton wouldn't have noticed" [syn: automaton, zombi] 5: several kinds of rum with fruit juice and usually apricot liqueur [syn: zombi]

Brodie 03-14-2004 06:23 PM

But Most zombies in RE have died before they come back. Being eaten to death, etc. Zombies can be a name for any person(s) who are dead, but still walking, or any person(s) infected with a virus that can cause them to do odd things (Eating people, puking on people and infecting other people.)
