ScottWeinberg	post #1  on May 22, 2008 - 2:47 AM PDT   I've reviewed the thing for like three sites now. What did YOU think of it?
underdog	post #2  on May 22, 2008 - 11:10 AM PDT   Scott, wanna link to some of your reviews? I still haven't seen it yet myself, am looking forward... how would you compare it to Land of the Dead?
hamano	post #3  on May 23, 2008 - 5:32 AM PDT   My son Kboy (age 6) watched the trailer with me, and he announced it "looks boring! Just a bunch of zombies!" He is determined not to see Diary of the Dead. He is lobbying for Beverly Hills Chihuahua instead. The horror, the horror....
Battie	post #4  on May 23, 2008 - 2:32 PM PDT   I saw it in theaters a few months ago. I'd say Land of the Dead is better, but Diary of the Dead has The Amish Guy. He was harcore. :D *wonders if there are any Amish Guy t-shirts yet*

My brother tied me up and made me watch Dan O'Bannon's "Return of the Living Dead", a brillant parody. Had he told me that it was Dan O'Bannon's film, I would have never resisted - I love his work with John Carpenter on "Dark Star". He does parody well. And I have an embarrassing fetish for the "Resident Evil" series. I plead "Milla Jovovich" addiction. And the special effects are nice. Hey, gotta love a women who yells out "CROTCH SHOT" on her commentary track when she barely exposes the beaver for a second. And the last one led me to Collide, that best industrial goth band of this Neo-Century. But, I have had my fill of zombies. I hide from them on electon day, too. And all during the Reagan era. It is time for something new. What is Clive Barker doing these days?
hamano	post #7  on May 23, 2008 - 7:36 PM PDT   My most favoritest zombie movie is Night of the Comet.

I'm almost tempted (it is Barker), but I'm trying to swear off shock-horror. --Night of the Comet IS good stuff. :D

I saw "Return of the Living Dead" in either 1986 or 1987 on VHS. > (Have you seen Milla in .45? Girl has a mouth on her!) > No, I think I will have too!
