Not sure what to think really. I didn't bother with the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, although for the most part, people liked it - even horror coinneseurs. I'll wait for it on DVD as I do with most things these days.

I have the latest Fangoria magazine and it has an article on the new Dawn of the Dead. They've vamped it up, the Zombies are running this time (like the infected humans in 28 Days Later), and it could be good. Romero himself wants no part of it so who knows.

28 Days Later wasn't bad, and yet Resident Evil was an atrocity. It could go either way.

You wanna know which Zombie flick I'm looking forward to more than any other? The Spierig Brother's "Undead".

I thought it was a good movie, very well done. I've already become numb to the idea of remakes (which I admit is stupid in essense). I just try my hardest to look at it on it's own merit.

I'll definitely be there to see it opening night. Again, like TCM, I'm just trying to think of it as a new zombie movie with a strangely familiar title, not a remake of my favorite movie ever.

For what it was, I actually liked RE. It was by no means stellar, but good crappy fun. The final scene is awesome and I hope it carries over to the sequel.

It's already out for rent on dvd in Austrailia, it's supposed to be available for sale next month. It's not going to be in the theatre here until the end of the year, so I'll be picking this up as soon as I can on dvd. I've been hearing great things about it for a while now.

Remake? Don't you mean "re-imagined", heh? What did Tim Burton start...

I prefer the games.

Great news. I'm definitely getting myself a copy.

Saw ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO ... Ok movie, but the extras on the DVD were awesome. I like Rodriguez's style and the fact that he uses new technology. The guy wears many hats and knows how to get you enthusiastic about filmmaking.

The HD picture on my HDTV was flawless ... but the movie was just OK. Johnny Depp gave another cool performance though, much like his Pirates of the Caribbean role.

I still want to see that, if only 'cause Depp is da shit and Eva Mendes is hot.

[NAD is still special.]

Just watched Spaceballs last night for the 437th time, that movie shall always own.

[J.]

Yes, it does.

"I see your Schwartz is as big as mine." hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..............

"FOOL YOU!!!"

Kills me every time, I wish Rick Moranis was in movies again, that dude is hysterical.

[J.]

yeah, Moranis was always funny as hell. His character in Ghostbusters still makes me laugh. ANd his character in Parenthood cracks me up, especially when he sings that dopey song to his wife. PARENTHOOD RULES!!!!!

"I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes. Keep firing assholes!!!!"

"What's the matter Colonel Sanders? Chicken?"

But my favorite is:

President Scroove: "Helmet, what's going on?"
Dark Helmet: "Sanders, what's going on?"
Sanders: "It's MegaMaid. She's gone from suck to blow."

HAHAHAHAHAHA.......
