Ahhh man that sucks balls! I was looking forward to that film too!

Karl Hungus · 22-06-2005 2:47pm

Saw the trailer for it, and damned if I'm not anticipating it muchly. I think the film deserves to be pirated if the company isn't arsed with a worldwide release.

Tusky · 22-06-2005 7:08pm

Im a pirate.

There are some reviews up on Aint It Cool News.... Can't wait for this one!

Xcom2 · 23-06-2005 11:39pm

Yea, but we got intermission WAY before the US..

...
Yea, living here sucks hard.

Necronomicon · 29-06-2005 12:10am

Yep, thank God for multi-regional dvd-players

Maynard. · 29-06-2005 12:14am

Shhhh the "MAN" will hear you.

spooky donkey · 29-06-2005 10:09am

Well the only thing im waiting for in September is the start of the school year. A mate of mine tells me he has it already. I dont know how, why or what format. I`ll have to wait till the weekend to hook up with him and find out.

koneko · 29-06-2005 11:12am

Yeah, it's out in the US, so it'll be "out" in other ways. No way in hell am I waiting till September! (Though it would have been nice to finally see a Romero film on the big screen)

spooky donkey · 21-07-2005 9:46am

Well i never got that film in the end. Did any one else see it yet?

koneko · 21-07-2005 9:52am

I got a "version" but the quality was so awful I didn't bother watching it, you could hardly make out what was happening. So I'm still waiting...

Devil's Rejects is out soon too, any sign of it coming out here? I doubt it. Looking forward to that too.

Agree, it is a pain in the nuts when its over in the States first. Think especially horrors because you begin to hear all reviews and opinions before it gets here and this can affect your viewing of a film. The best films I've seen have been ones I've heard nothing about (don't even watch trailers). There are a lot upcoming over the next year, here's just some:

BloodRayne
Skeleton Key
The Cave
The Fog - Remake
Saw 2
The Gathering
Undead
Underworld - Evolution
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Origin

Silent Hill
Final Destination 3
Resident Evil - Afterlife

A sadder bunch of movies I have not seen. Aside from Silent Hill and The Skeleton Key, they all look absolutely horrible.

Haha, indeed. What a woeful pile of horsepoo. Bloodrayne? I'd rather poke my eyes out with a rusty fork than sit through another Uwe Boll trainwreck.

I noticed the ad for Skeleton Key says "from the writer of The Ring"

I don't know, but when I think writer, I think creator, the person that came up with the story and wrote it. Not the guy that took an existing film and made a poor script out of it for American audiences. At best, he adapted the screenplay, that doesn't make him the writer. I guess that might just be my interpretation of it, but people will watch that ad and think the same guy that created Ring originally wrote this, when that is nowhere near true.

Karl Hungus · 21-07-2005 8:17pm

Indeed, but "From the writer who adapted Ring" doesn't have the same... erm, ring to it. No pun intended.

Granted they are no where near as good as The Relic

but at least there is something for everyone.

At least there is no Ring 3 or Ring 0 on that list :cool:

spooky donkey · 22-07-2005 9:52am

Well I have high hopes for Underworkd 2. I was a bit let down by the first one. Then im not used to the hero of a film running away most of the way through the film. Oh wait Tom Cruise does that a lot also.

Maynard. · 23-07-2005 3:44pm

No1 is excited about the fog remake?, I loved the original..

Other than that, Ive been playing the silent hill games for years and recently shed tears of joy after hearing pyramid head would b making an appearance.

"I'll always know what you did last summer" Will be as pityful as ever, but yet I know I'll find myself watching it at some stage.. :rolleyes:

spooky donkey · 25-07-2005 11:08am

OK my mate that was getting Land of the dead only got half of the film. So I watched half of it. It was only OK but I really need to see it all to have a proper opinion. I like what he has done with his zombies, slightly new idea. I think i`ll wait till september and go see the whole thing in the cinema. Thats if it even gets a cinema release. I think the likes of the UCI`s will only give this film a week if even that.

No. The original was great it doesn't need to be remade.

spooky donkey · 25-07-2005 3:21pm

It does if some lazzy hollywood film director cant think of a decent film concept to make. Then do a remake. Its happing way too much these days.

Heh, I too crumbled to the temptation of watching it early over the weekend (I was off sick and had nothing interesting to watch, damnit). So I duly set about "obtaining" a copy, only to find after god knows how many hours that in fact the copy of "land of the dead" that I'd set about procuring was in fact some random porn film. Could've been worse, I suppose, but it was rather annoying...

I'm still surprised they're holding the release back until september and not doing the obvious - delay it until october and make it a halloween movie...

True, But thats not going to stop me getting excited about it.
I couldnt wait to see the TCM remake, even tho I knew it would pale in comparison to the original, I guess I just like to think theres a chance it will improve.. :rolleyes:
