I just don't understand how or why anyone would throw a movie into a glove that is apparently already full of other movies.

I'm assuming the O'Bannon one. It's pretty great.

Rank 'em!

1. Dawn of the Dead (original -- fuck you, Snyder)
2. Night of the Living Dead (original)
3. The Return of the Living Dead
The original Dawn of the Dead sure is something.

Yup. And the remake was unnecessary and terrible.

For a few hours that was the best film in the world when I was 17, smoking an ounce a week, and working in the hospitality industry. I often chuckle at my former self.

I feel like - considering the book - it could have been drawn out a further hour or so. Fuck accessibility.

I can get on the kindle for a couple of quid. I love a bit of classic dystopian scifi.

read his Valis trilogy, and The Man in the High Castle, and keep in mind that Philip Dick was literally insane.

also, Bladerunner is one of my all time favorite movies. (I wasn't as happy with the book though)

i saw Bladerunner in the movie theater when it came out. long before I started reading anything by PKD. so my reference point is the movie, which is way different from the book

Oh, I watched The Sessions not too long ago. It was good, a well acted and talky film but it had a Lifetime TV movie feel to it. It's not something I think I will ever see again though.
And yes, Helen Hunt got very naked a couple of times. Those scenes would have been a lot more interesting to me twenty years ago.

Kick-Ass 2. No thanks.

edit: An over saturation of poorly written coming of age drama themes and the action sequences weren't that great. I will say, though, The Motherfucker (McLovin') was entertaining and so were his cronies. I guess one could argue this is poor criticism as that is exactly what the trailer suggested, but I genuinely wasn't expecting the sappy horseshit throughout.
