speaking of I Am Legend. whats your opinion on the use of CGI in that film? i thought the mutated citizens of new york would of looked better if they were real people with some cool make up. When they are finally revealed its dissapointing becuase it sorta pulls you out of the atmosphere that was set.

aslo, this is will smith in another movie with a ton of CGI characters, do you think its possible he doesnt get along with other actors and demands that the majority of the cast be animated?

also, how was your xmas?

I too thought the CGI characters were unconvincing. However, i read an article somewhere.In this article it said that they originally used people with prosthetics during the filming, but the director thought they were also unconvincing. I myself can imagine a better movie with prosthetic creeps. CGI is overused in films, film should have both. I have an associates in CG and I'm almost done with my bachelors of art. As far as Will Smith goes I don't think he has a problem working with other actors. Some actors are solely movie actors, but he comes from a television background. Goofing off on set is ok on television which is filmed entirely on video as opposed to on film with expensive film where its frowned upon. Not only that he has worked with some pretty good ensemble casts. He is the star in this movie, but for example within Independence Day he was just one of the stars in an ensemble. I don't think he's too big headed. I think with an abundance of cg characters comes with not having to pay alot of people. In interviews he comes off as real down to earth person. If you had a conversation with him you would probably stop thinking of him as a celebrity and more as a real person.

xmas was great. I got metroid prime corruption, resident evil umbrellla chronicles, and Zelda: phantom hourglass. I got a bunch of dvds. 28 weeks later, Hostel 2, 1408

Flight of the living dead has my approval. I will go to the video store to go buy notld 3d, hopefully it will have its 3d glasses. It is supposed to come with 4 pairs.

next question.

I saw Leprechaun's in Space, Jason X, and the last Critter movie. I would rate them all about the same.....

Haven't seen Gangs of the dead. As much as i like Zombie movies I sometimes avoid what look like C fair. However, because you said something I will check it out.

I watched Ngith of the Living dead 3d, as expected Sid Haig was great, the director was a tard though. When I watched the special features though, it seemed as though the producers were tards too. Bigger ones. Pot humor was apparently imposed.

If the characters knew about Zombies they would do way better against them. The word Zombie should never be used in a Zombie movie, unless promptly criticized. "Don't use the Zed word!"

I've always wondered why 99% of zombie movie take the virus route instead of going with the original voodoo theme. Thoughts?

I read a book on this. As time goes by the audience will tend to accept certain ideas and ignore others. Voodoo is just seen nowadays as misguided belief. The Zombie movie appeals more to science fiction fans in general than horror fans. Viruses are real and they are scary. Alot of people are germaphobic. This doesn't mean  Voodoo zombie films don't appear out of nowhere. Also, most Zombie movies are based after Romero's conception. Post NOTLD zombies had no solid definition, zombies could be anything. There are surfing zombies in I was a Teenage Zombie. After Romero it became pretty clear to be a zombie a creature has to fall into this definition

Romero Zombie:
            Dead, Lumbering, Mindless, Cannibalistic, Viral
Russo Zombie
              Dead, Lumbering, stupid and hungry, Cannibalistic, Viral
Snyder Zombie
            Dead, Kenyan Fast, Mindless, Cannibalistic, Viral
Boyle Zombie
            Living but infected, quick or slow, Mindless, murderously violent, Viral
Mikami Zombie
             Dead and mutating, Lumbering, Mindless, Cannibalistic, Viral
Classic pre-romero Zombie
            Totally Random, depends on individual movie
Voodoo
           A mindless SLAVE, who has arisen from the grave, in reality is poisoned by a chemical which creates undead-like  
           symptoms. Partly related to the Vampire mythos, partly real. Giving someone Tetrodotoxin and giving them a  
          dissociative drug.
Revanents
           Dead, Lumbering, Cannibalistic, to some extent Viral

I remember once I smoked this high quality hash (I dubbed it "the essence", but it's also known as hippie crack) and I lumbered around like a zombie........

I'm not a pothead, but various of my friends are and they have all sorts of names for their weed like Mersch and Kine and whatnot, but to me it all sounds like marketing by their drug dealers. Like when Danté is marketing Frankenstein on Grandmas Boy.

Oh I wasn't talking about the names. Hell, names don't mean anything to me, I'm a veteran . It's all about the science now. Like whats the THC percentage? (15% normal dank; 30+% absolutely ridiculous; 99% "the essence")

I was talking about a drug inducing zombie like effects......

Does that count? Is it possible to get so high that you act like a lumbering zombie?

Power drill is the greatest high ever, just tape down the trigger, position your temple and go to town! You could be a lumbering zombie for life! How sweet would that be?

speaking of power drills. One time i went to the 99cents store and went on a spending spree and i bought every double feature dollar dvd they had. I got a ton of kung fu movies and a couple of horror movies. So anyhow i got this movie call driller killer. It was about an artist who goes around at night with a power drill killing people. Pretty interesting, he too was a pothead.

I have pondered the relationship to zombies and getting high. One time i saw this movie call camp fire tales, they got this crazy pot from some dude and they smoked it until they became zombies. Return of the Living Dead:Rave from the Grave has this as the premise. You take Trioxin as a drug, but the more you take the more zombie like you become.

Zombie is a very flexable word, its more of a state of mind; that it is the definition. To be a zombie is to be mindless, thats my definition. IE you could be spaced out at work and lumber around like a zombie, only a good shaking would get you out of that state. Drugs, especially dissociative ones would bring you to this state the easiest. I really hate it when i hear zombies talking and having conversations in movies, because if their talking then their not zombies. They may be undead cannibals, but if they talk than they can't be zombies. One movie that pissed me off in particular was Zombie nation, that movie was so frickin stupid. The zombies banded together and were like "Maybe we should start a zombie nation". I was like godamn Uli Lumell. Ghouls can talk, i give my exception to the Return of the Living dead series, because for the most part their logic is turned off and while they talk they are driven by their need to eat brains. Thier desire is so simplistic that it rules their whole being making them mindless.

theres this whole buildup through out the whole movie, and then she just talks to some guy who is in human form. No aliens, blah! Star Trek: First Contact was better. The movie was like having crazy sex with a hot chick, and then suddenly towards the end she shape shifts into your roommate.

Hell yeah, also if you liked The Princess Bride than you'll probably like Stardust, which isn't as good, but not a bad movie.

I was watching Robin Hood Men in Tights yesteday, and I have to say Cary Elwes needs to do alot more whimsical fantasy movies. He's great in them. I hope he's not too old.

speaking of Fido theres a point in the movie where the characters are like

suddenly jar with severed head glows
Robinson: Whats that
Bottoms: Thats my first kill
Robinsonh
Bottoms: He's my Uncle Bob

need to get a screen cap

Today I started in a film examination class. Our professor wrote a book called "The rise and Fall of Horror Film"

The professor hates all horror films after the early 1960s, he bashed A Clockwork Orange...ugh. It pains me to read his book. On the other hand I like his lectures. He's quite funny.
