i didn't really know ANYTHING about it going into it other than assumption that like some nuclear holocaust happened. it surprised me. some of the special effects were kind of shitty but the movie was entertaining and i thought had a decent story (even though there's tons of.. .but.. uhh, how... but...)

i was just talking to alexx about this so i'll add:

(10:16:43 PM) letskillowen: the effects (not the zombies but the animals and city) were kinda shitty
(10:17:07 PM) Alexx: Yeah
(10:17:34 PM) letskillowen: like they put all the good people on zombies and then the new guy got to do some deer
(10:17:54 PM) Alexx: hahaha
(10:18:10 PM) letskillowen: and there was one scene with a zoom out of the city street and it looked like a video game from 1999
(10:18:26 PM) Alexx: hahaha
(10:18:33 PM) letskillowen: but it was a pretty awesome story

I don't know anything about it either. I'll take your word for it and check it out. Maybe it'll be playing on the plane home tomorrow.

My parents have the video on demand thing. I'll see if it's on there when I get there.

Until then, It's a toss up between monty python and the holy grail, or superbad tonight.

I really disliked that movie. Having read the book, which that flick shat all over, i know how good the movie could and should have been. It was impossible for me to not feel underwhelmed by it.

My husband watched the movie then read the book. I must say, that must be the order in which everyone needs to do things now.

I never read the book, but agree that the special effects were bad. The CGI zombies and animals were reminding me of an old Sinbad movie (the pirate, not the comedian) with claymation animals.

i watched that too this weekend, and i have to ask: if the zombies were so aggressive and blood-thirsty, why didn't they just kill each other until they were all dead?

No, but would it be as nutritional to another zombies as fresh untainted blood?

It was better than Omega Man, that's for sure. I have to say I actually liked this movie a lot.

I liked the movie, but you're right ... the zombies just looked hungry.

The Road is the darkest book I have read in a little while. Looking forward to the live action cannibal holocaust. When's the movie coming out?
