Massawyrm's Fantastic Fest Day 1!! DIARY OF THE DEAD And TIME CRIMES!!

Ok, so now I'm interested in DiOTD by GrandMuffTarkin	Sep 21st, 2007 02:33:35 PM
Sounds like for the old school, survive-the-day, initial-zombie-outbreak fans, Diary may just satisfy. No smart zombies, no "I'm sooo scaaared" Blair Witch bullshit. Just people wondering what the fuck is going on, and how do they get home.
So right about us Time Travel nerds.. by Jam Banjo	Sep 21st, 2007 02:35:39 PM
I watched Deja Vu recently with my housemates, I'd forgive the see through time device (clearly a 'wouldn't it be cool to have a time travel car chase' idea from some producer somewhere) thought it was all going to tie together with a throughly depressing but entirely logical and unavoidable ending, only to watch the last ten minutes with my mouth open at how far they were going to change the rules just to make it have a happy ending. Made no sense. Whatsoever. Just a film that was made cos someone thought 'Ooh, then he sees blood in the apartment and it turns out it's his!' Yeah nice idea, if you follow that through. Anyway, rant over, my mates didn't mind so I guess 3 to 1 is probably a fair reflection of people who don't worry about that sort of thing to those who do. Great to hear someone's got it right, looking forward to seeing this someday. Cheers Massawyrm, great reviews. From another time travel nerd. (Or it is really you, in the future?). No. Its not.
Land had it backwards by jrb	Sep 21st, 2007 02:43:37 PM
Land of the Dead was stupid in that Romero would have us believe that Dennis Hopper would be in charge because he has a lot of ash on hand. Money would be worthless (except as toilet paper) in a post apocalyptic zombie illed world. Men like John Leguizamo's character would run the show. He has survival skills and the abiliy to find food and kill zombies. One's net worth or stock portfolio would be meaningless in such a world. "Primer" was genius.
Oops by jrb	Sep 21st, 2007 02:44:53 PM
I meant to write that Hopper has a lot of "cash" on hand. I suppose it would have made more sense if he had a lot of "ash".
Is there a trailer... by Dr Uwe Boll	Sep 21st, 2007 02:45:01 PM
or some footage from Diary? It's frickin' killing me, I'm reading all these reviews and there's nothing I can see.
Massa, by SebastianHaff	Sep 21st, 2007 02:45:43 PM
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you are the bee's motherfucking knees. If the Dead movies were six year old boys, I'd go to jail for loving them this much.
12 Monkeys wasn't perfect as a time travel movie by chrth	Sep 21st, 2007 03:15:09 PM
But at least it would wonderfully consistent

Once Again, Massa Brings It by Fireball XL-5	Sep 21st, 2007 03:19:17 PM
His is the clearest, most reasonable take on DOTD so far on this site.
Dairy of the Dead? Is that about zombie cows? by tonagan	Sep 21st, 2007 03:20:22 PM
Whoops, never mind.
Thanx Massa by FILMFUNK	Sep 21st, 2007 04:04:52 PM
After Harrys over positive review and Quints lacklustre splurge I dint really know what to do about hyping my own noggin for Diary but you just switched my dial back towards interested. Nice reviews as usual. Choke on em!
Also I think this will find it's audience by FILMFUNK	Sep 21st, 2007 04:11:39 PM
Obviously and eventually but I doubt it will be best served by the Fucking Weinsteins! Death Proof is out now over here in the UK but I'm biting a bit NOT to go an see that coz of how they fucked us out of Grindhouse Also Quint stated the acting in Diary was universally SHITE! but Harr and you don't so is it all that bad or in Quinty-Poo jist maonin on it a wee bit much!?
JLA news removed from web site???? by The Biomind	Sep 21st, 2007 04:34:28 PM
Wasn't there a news item this morning about Routh and Bale not appearing in the George Miller's Justice league movie??? I even posted there! Where has it gone? Did WB have it removed???

Question on the "bitten" thing... by pinkfloyd2000	Sep 21st, 2007 04:50:48 PM
"Well, Diary of the Dead is the reset. The reminder of Romero's rules. If you die. You come back. Period. Not if you are bitten. Not if they vomit blood on you. If you die." Question: In Romero's earlier movies, the bites caused death, and then reanimation as a zombie after death. This is still true in DoTD? Or not?
If you had sex with a hot zombie would you? by HamiltonGeyser	Sep 21st, 2007 05:08:25 PM
maybe one with a bag on her head
Floyd... by Dr. Frankenstein	Sep 21st, 2007 05:10:05 PM
What he means is that every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. They get up and kill. The people they kill get up and kill. (Romero's Law). The means of death are not important, be it bleeding out from a Zombie attack, old age or straining too hard on the toilet. You do not need to be bitten to reanimate. You just need to be dead.
if you could have...bad spelling by HamiltonGeyser	Sep 21st, 2007 05:10:13 PM
shit
HamiltonGeyser by DocPazuzu	Sep 21st, 2007 05:23:16 PM
Apparently you haven't seen Porn of the Dead. Yes, it really exists, and yes it's exactly what you think it is -- a zombie porno movie. Err... Not that I would know this. Nope, not at all.
Porn of the Dead by TheNorthlander	Sep 21st, 2007 06:21:19 PM
It exists already? Aww crap, I was gonna pitch that! deletes fifth draft...
Dr. Frankenstein. by Gilkuliehe	Sep 22nd, 2007 01:05:21 AM
You can die from straining too hard on the toilet?? I say godDAMN.
didnt resident evil extinction come out today? by GavinVanDraven	Sep 22nd, 2007 02:17:48 AM
nobody saw this? not even a plant that i could pour v-jolt on?
"Dairy" ...tonagan by BDT	Sep 22nd, 2007 08:41:38 AM
Dairy of the Dead aka ISOLATION from last year's Fantastic Fest.
very stoked for this by Ray Gamma	Sep 22nd, 2007 09:45:09 AM
i cant wait to see this
More Gore... by Dr. Frankenstein	Sep 22nd, 2007 12:14:07 PM
Apparently this movie does not have the gore quotient of Dawn or Day because Romero stated that "nobody would hang around long enough to film it" but I figured an excellent way would be inanimate cameras eg. CCTV or even better a camera wielding fool gets taken down and drops his camera to the floor where we get an unblinking unmoving view of what happens next. Instant gore shot. Anyone remember a similar thing in "Henry: Portrait of a serial killer" when they drop the camera to take down the entire family in a one take home invasion? Some of that with a zombified Henry next time please George. ;o)
Extinction by OptimusCrime	Sep 22nd, 2007 11:41:08 PM
Yeah it came out, and it was fuckin awesome. I also thought the second one was awesome. Nobody is still participating in this thread, so I doubt I'll be crucified for saying this.
The best time travel film ever is... by red_weed	Sep 23rd, 2007 12:02:22 AM
SUMMER TIME MACHINE BLUES! Search it out, it's japanese and it is the best. primer is great too, but this thing not only has a time travel logic that works, but it is funny and entertaining and inventively filmed. check it out! This one looks good too. I can't wait to see it.
Diary is awesome by Jarek	Sep 23rd, 2007 10:20:47 AM
And I'll say that until it gets released wider and everyone realizes it for themselves.
A better zombie movie: FIDO by Cruel_Kingdom	Sep 24th, 2007 02:53:03 AM
Best. Zombie. Movie. Ever.
OptimusCrime... by raw_bean	Sep 24th, 2007 04:27:35 AM
...I'll just go get my hammer and some nails...
