Yes, the opening scene is incredible, but then we have to suffer through 90 minutes of people speaking to each other as if they're trying to bite one another's faces off with words. Plus we get a cheat ending that's so disappointingly unsatisfying.<br /><br />It's grown on me over the years and now, I genuinely enjoy watching it. But it's a hard film to defend for someone watching it for the first time.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-20657968182921528682009-10-28T13:54:16.955-07:002009-10-28T13:54:16.955-07:00I wouldn't go so far as to say I was bashing. ...I wouldn't go so far as to say I was bashing. <br /><br />I love Day Of The Dead, I just think in many way's Land is superior.Bryce Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040954580033470664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-1183824038479281642009-10-27T11:39:55.636-07:002009-10-27T11:39:55.636-07:00Wow, bashing Day Of The Dead... that's cold. ...Wow, bashing Day Of The Dead... that's cold.

There was so much expectation on top of Land that unless it was a masterpiece, it would have been hated. Day of the Dead is still growing on me, as I went through a long period where I totally despised it. At the moment, I respect certain aspects of Land (the super opening, some of the background zombie society stuff, the rich/poor stratification) but feel underwhelmed every time I watch it. <br /><br />As for Diary, I've yet to meet anyone who didn't hate it...aside from myself. I watch it and pretend the narration and lead actress doesn't exist. It works well that way.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-33349399780896054412009-10-21T12:54:41.966-07:002009-10-21T12:54:41.966-07:00(bows)(bows)Bryce Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040954580033470664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-27790793425467089172009-10-21T12:11:32.059-07:002009-10-21T12:11:32.059-07:00"unaware they're just buying time" -..."unaware they're just buying time" - an apt a description of American consumerism as you're likely to find! Buddhists would say we're all just biding time. Biding or buying? If we're not meditating and working towards connection to that which lies beyond the duality of life and death. We must nurture the zombie within!Erich Kuerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850572368098319317noreply@blogger.com
