28 Weeks Later
rae:
I'm looking forward to it, although I can honestly say that I never feared zombies, or a zombie attack until I saw that film.

I can't remember the last time I walked out of a theater and was disappointed in what I saw, since my standards are so low. Most of it comes from Hollywood consistently churning out pathetic sequel after pathetic sequel, but I find that not getting my hopes up serves me very well. In the case of 28 Weeks, you can call it extremely reserved hope. The first film was wonderful; while film-makers consistently fail at life, the second one is following a wonderful movie.

You just nailed my thoughts on the matter. I've been hyped up to ridiculous extents for Spider-Man 3. Honestly, a big part of my disaproval was disappointment that it didn't hold a candle to the second and it really hurt my view of the movie. Given, it's not always like that. I went into Hot Fuzz expecting one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I got one of the funniest movies I've ever seen coupled with some of the best action sequences ever. I'm skeptical, but a little optimistic as "zombie" movies usually please me in some manner. Land of the Dead's the only one I can think of I ever saw and hated (Even Resident Evil: Apocalypse was passable with me).

I actually dated someone who had a horrible and irrational fear of zombies. She once woke up screaming and smacked me after a dream where her niece got bitten and I demanded we leave her behind. I myself have set out multiple "What would I do?" scenarios with friends for laughs. I had a nice plan I set out on an Image comics message board for the comic the Walking Dead (Which I recommend to all you zombie lovers, great comic about a zombie holocaust), but since I moved into the city, I've accepted the fact I'd be absolutely fucked in a zombie attack.

Because they made the first one with no plans for a sequal and no idea of how well it would be recieved. But I guess seeing it for the first time right before the second one is released might somehow make it seem more promotional.

Yeah. It was on FX..they had a bunch of interviews with some of the actors from 28 Weeks, and trailers and behind the scenes stuff.

How did that not come up when we were talking about crazy exes? That's hilarious, dude.
(I would've done the same)
Dimmukane:
I've read the Walking Dead, or at least parts of it. He's right, it's a great comic book. Because of it, now I have this massive idea for a zombie holocaust/Grand Theft Auto style game that I'm trying to plot out.
As for zombie movies in general, I try to find low-budget ones with crazy stories and stuff. I picked out this one because it had a chick with a triple-rigged shotgun. It turned out to be kickass. (Undead, for anyone who's interested).
My local paper reviewed 28 Weeks Later today and gave it a C-, which I think is bogus. But I'm not leaping out the door to see it.

Because that one ranks rather low on my list of "batshit fucking loco shit that my exes have pulled." She actually worked in a hotel I always thought would be great for a zombie video game scenario.
This same ex asked me to move in with her, brought up the idea of marriage and then told ME I was moving too fast. She's still got nothing on the one who committed herself when I dumped her or the girl I never even went on a single date with who called me a two-timing dick when I started seeing someone else. I'm like a fuckin' campground flood-light in a sky full of psychotic lady-moths.
Back to some semblance of on topic, though: The more I read, the less excited I am about this movie. I'll see if I can catch a weekend matinee next weekend, as I'm worried about wasting the ten bucks for admission.
