we have so much leftover candy

[deadair]

we had like 4 groups of kids the whole night.

so, if you order the comp CD now, there is a good chance you will also get some candy.

 

[lizard]

now what will Avi offer as an incentive?

(as if, for only five or six dollars, you actually need one)

 

[mindspell]

We didn't get any, fortunatly because we didn't have any candy anyhow.

not only did we go through several bags, we had to give a bag to our neighbour because she ran out by 6:30pm after underpurchasing.

i watched blood on satan's claw and hid from the ringing doorbell.

one roommate for unknown reasons shut the shower door on the other roommate's cat (who drinks from the tub faucet) and went shopping "for an hour" (he says). the cat subsequently shit in the tub, bringing back a flood of bad memories and jagged scars on my insides and further dashing any hopes of the neighborhood mutants getting their hands on some hard earned chick peas.

i watched nosferatu: phantom der nacht, friday the 13th part 5: a new beginning, and a bunch of random programs.

given a similar circumstance, nick, i too would shit in the tub.

 

[mindspell]

Saturday I watched:
-Dawn of the Dead (both versions, the new one sucks badly, too many guns, not enough blunt objects)
-Ginger Snaps (at the insistence of a friend...)
-Alien
-Bad Taste

I heard the new DotD is great, although not nearly as good as the original. I really wanna see it!

 

[mindspell]

Well its not that bad but the essence of the series is really lost. The zombies run like track athletes and they never use anything else than guns to kill them, the whole fun is to see some dude with a baseball bat cracking some zombie heads....

after hiding from the doorbell and eating calzones, the wife and I took two dogs out on a walk to see the costumes and decorations around the neighborhood.

I bought 0 candy.

 

[xfer]

somehow i feel like you are people who take, take, take from this country and never give, give, give.

 

[avi]

I'm sorry, but I just don't feel like putting my poor dogs through the torment of constant doorbells. it would make them nuts.

 

[goatschool]

the new DotD is SO bad. embarassing, even. i watched this for the first time last night, too.

mindspell, what did you think of the scene with the church organist making his 'confession' to the two security guards? i found it beyond weird.

i also thought the cameo speech by ken foree (as the televangelist), and his message, put a WEIRDER/WORSE spin on the movie, if you want to go that far.

and even STRANGER is the director's intro on the DVD, where he's saying that the MPAA rules are a good thing.

this movie is fucking ridiculous.

 

[goatschool]

poorly written too. characters flash on the screen and disappear/are forgotten as quickly as flotsam and jetsam's window of fame!

I hated all the "look! I am telling a social commentary to you right now" parts of the dialogue. Romero always included some social commentary to his movies but it seemed always subtle or at least only for the ones really paying attention. The church organist and a couple of other monologues were really badly written and awfully integrated into the plot.

Most of the characters in the second batch that comes in the mall just don't get ANY screen time so what was the point in getting them there anyway? Apart from the asshole of course.

Did you notice the H bomb that was the first two propane tanks compared to that last huge one in the truck... Its really like they tried to make an action movie out of an horror one. Shawn of the Dead and 28 Days were much more worthy Zombie movies than this one.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that it is totally devoid of interest but it surely blows compared to the masterpieces that Romero produced with so little budget.

 

[xfer]

weird. the line that I was told summed up the remake was "Like the original, but without the social commentary...more action."

 

[mindspell]

I didn't listen to the director's commentary... I didn't see the point, plus we had a few more movies to see so ...

 

[mindspell]

There are social commentaries, just crappy ones. BTW, there is a huge difference between a horror movie and an action movie, I guess they didn't get that. I like House fo the 1000 Corpses more than that thing...

 

[goatschool]

my friend pointed out the propane tank size differentials.

i agree w/ your comments MS, but let me say, i don't even understand the confessional scene. it doesn't make any sense in context, because there was no context. the fact that the security dudes were shirtless during it confused me further.

the extras on the dvd are godawful, too.
