Okay, I knew before I rented this that it was a turd. I was hoping that it was okay, um no. I was cool with the first half hour or so, then it turned into a piece of shit. A huge piece of shit. Mena Suvari is shitty in this. She was okay in Spun and American Beauty, she needs to retire after this piece of turd. Ving Rhames as Rhodes? I'm down, but then he gets killed in a hospital and turns into a zombie that rips his own eye out. What the fuck, really. On my Netflix cover it states: "Miner [...] honor the story and social relevance of the first film but put a fresh spin on this tale [...]" What the fuck were you smoking?
If there is ever a reason to appreciate GAR for what he has done, it is this film.

I dunno, bro. That's a bold statement--when you take into account how bad the original Day was...and what a turd Land was. I appreciate what he did on the original NOTLD and Dawn...and I even found the NOTLD remake good. But the rest...  Remember: Just because you're the "first" person to do something doesn't mean that you're the best at it. |

Have you seen this movie, Tanner?
I'm starting to realize that GAR has done this better than most, honestly.
I also understand you stance on GAR. I understand that you are a huge fan, who is just dissapointed in the guy. That's fine. I'm not a GAR worshiper, but it's hard to argue that movies like this are better than the original or Land or even Diary, as much as I hate that thing. I would watch Diary any day over this thing.
I know that you love the original Day script, I don't really care for about half of it, but that's besides the fact.
Trust me, watch this remake and you will love the original.

Is the vegan zombie supposed to be Bub?

From what I understand, he was...but they changed his name to "Bud" for some reason.
And, although I think it's a chunk of shit, I still like the theatrical version of Day.
It was my first zombie love, and I can honestly say that I've probably seen that movie over a thousand times. Literally.
But, a movie doesn't have to be good to mean something to someone, or for them to like it.
When I worked in Downtown Fort Myers, I passed by those sites and thought about that movie every day. ;D

The problems that I usually run into with other fans is that they want so much to say something good about these flicks, and the guy who made them...that they'll cling to anything they can, whether it's based in fact or not.
As for me, I just shrug and say, "It was my favorite back in the day," when people tell me that Day is a chunk of shit and that they don't like it.

I've said it before, it's not my favorite. It's too slow in parts and sometimes just bores me to tears. I have to be in the mood for it. But all in all, it's a good flick. Of course, I didn't grow up on it. I saw it for the first time some 4 months ago. Now, if someone talks smack about Phantasm.... well those are fightin words  |

The way to watch any of them is on down and dirty VHS. With DVD, it's all too obvious where the make-up ends and the real actors begin, if you know what I mean.  As for Phantasm, I'm down. I'll always represent for "Kenny & Co."s big brother! ;D |

Sadly, I still need to see it.
I'll look around when I'm out and about tomorrow.

[glow=red,2,300]The cover image shows, a zombie that looks like it was stung on the face by 2000 bees, and its the zombie is vomitting. Its a fucking terrible film.[/glow] |
