maybe this time the zombies won't just die on their own like pussies this time.
Anyhow, he spoke of a scene where:
Which sounds pretty cool, so I have high hopes.
Well thye have been through a complete collapse of the country and life they knew, that would probably send most people a bit crazy.
A few months later, I decided to suck it up and watch it. It was fantastic. So damn good.
I don't know if I like the idea of a sequel...
[spoiler:4384b30edd]WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT[/spoiler:4384b30edd]
It's being done by a totally new bunch of people. I don't think this will turn out well at all.
Haha, someone said on the IMDB.com boards that this will probably be full of Americanized Comic Relief. He's probably onto something.
"Oh mang, them zombies fun faster than your fat mumma on her way to a Hamburger sale! olol!"

I think I'll watch 28 Days Later later. It's been awhile.
That's a good sign. I think I'll rent it this weekend.

I am pretty sure no one talks like that.
P.S. Your signature is awesome.
But hey, the footage from week 7 looks pretty damn good.
I do
Running zombies? Oh shi-
Please dont get this debate started, I dont think it really matters either way. I call some people human even though are clearly not.
Exactly.
No machete wielding badass lady?
No riot geared dressed kindly old man?
At least there's rage zombies still.
Was the first one really successful enough for them to just want to trade on the name?... granted that doesn't seem to matter too much anymore.
[spoiler:21281d1f37]When that girl hacked her partner with that machete? Pure bad-ass awesome.[/spoiler:21281d1f37]
And she was a fucking chemist. Bad-ass scientist chick FTW.

I'm not so much concerned about the plot per se, because that's not what makes the movie great in my opinion, it's the atmosphere. 28 Days Later is a pitch perfect study in tone and how to convey all the right emotions just through environment, and that kind of stylistic excellence is historically the hardest thing to reproduce from one movie to the next.
The opening scene - not the cold opener with the laboratory monkeys but the part where Cillian Murphy wakes up and starts wandering the streets of London - is fucking brilliant.

From the moment he wakes up to when they get into that little convenience store/kiosk it's like they decided to create the definitive cinematic example of "Welcome to the zombie apocalypse".
The fact it's so damn perfect is just amplified by the fact they had a shoestring budget and filmed that entire section in London without any special permits or prep work. They just would hire various hot chicks to distract passersby while they filmed on the streets early in the morning.
Awesome x 10
Every single second in fact, until the army guys showed up at the checkpoint. Up till then every scene had been terrifyingly perfect, with a balance of realism, hope and despair alongside misunderstanding.
And then it proceeded to have a second half so atrocious, so mind shatteringly bad, so cruelly and awfully crap that all the greatness of the initial section was washed away under a vast tide of bad acting, terrible premises and absurd ideas.
[spoiler:d661824ab7]
It had been 28 days for god sake! 28 days! And they had found the women! If they had just been nice to them, and protected them from the zombies for a bit then they would probably have gotten to have sex with them anyway!
[/spoiler:d661824ab7]
Arghh, so amazingly bad! If you watch this move, and haven't seen it before the moment they arrive at the broken down checkpoint, turn it off. View that as the end and assume a helicopter arrives to save them or something. Please dont ruin it for yourself like I did.
I mean, without knowing anything about it - they could try anything... I mean they could just go "aliens" and send in the marines with great action sequences... I kind think that the "tense survival" theme will go out the window with the characters being military and knowing the situation.
My big fear is that they will get delusions of plotlines and try attrociously to have us find out where the virus came from. Enter hollywood style badguy or it all being a test for a new biological weapon... *sigh*
What with the starving and all.
They need to keep it dark and gritty, but to be honest the raw foot looks good. Also i keep having a nightmare that quentin tarantino gets involved but then i wake up and thank god.

I would have loved if 28 days later had just been more desolate city, plus random stragglers, plus running away, minus the goddamn military and mansion scenes.
Man, when I'm on the subject. Don't even fucking explain the "virus" to me. I hate that shit. Why does there have to be a perfectly reasonable explanation that the unfuckingdead are chasing me and aren't eating eachother? WHY DO ZOMBIE MOVIES HAVE TO DISAPPOINT ME SO MUCH WHEN THEY'RE SUCH A GOLDMINE FOR AWESOME!!

You haven't met any British squaddies, have you?
Corrected for you.
Top lads though
