Movie Review: "28 Days Later" (Gun Related)

[atek3]

You'd think Richard Dean Anderson wrote the script

HAH. For any of you who don't get the joke. Richard Dean Anderson aka MacGuyver was an actor on a TV show in which the main character is a total gadget guru... who won't touch guns. A bad guy is coming, so he'll spend 10 minutes rigging a homemade potato cannon that fires Cayenne pepper at the eyes of a foe but won't spend 2 seconds picking up a gun from an unconscience opponent. Really the predecessor to the 'fashionable gunfree' charlie's angels.

If you listen closely, the girl in the movie states that before media contact ended, they got word that the "Infection" had spread to both New York and Paris.

Richard Dean Anderson lays down the law with guns in Stargate SG-1. His character isn't anti-gun (although he could be with the whole son-shot-with-his-pistol thing), and I detect no underlying anti-gun stuff in the show. He's massively blown away alot of people and aliens in that show as have the other characters... With sweet weaponry I might add (USAS-12, P90, MP5...) Show is fairly "tactical" most of the time too, love it...

I definitely got annoyed with the crap in MacGyver way back when, and I was only like 12 at the time too...

Aparently this guy thinks the same way we do about zombie movies.

A warning though, Art's Grandmother would not like the language on this site.

ZPO,

Where exactly is that handcrank? One never knows when such information could prove useful.

Parisian zombies?

Maggot faced zombie idly puffing on a Gitanes while his skeletal dog feasts on the husk of a charred hand.

"Garcon, these brains need more garlic"

Turning to a sumptuously clad in fur, face like something mother used to bake, beauty.

"Ah mon bel, let's go to the cinoteque and see Godard's classics."

'No, pierre, c'est passe, let's catch Copper Chick in Zombie town tis Tres American!"

(With apologies to Kurosawa and Goddard)

I say we send Rowdy Roddy to liberate Paris.. with a chain gun.

For the person who said Dawn of The Dead needs a remake, its happening as we speak and is currently scheduled for a fall release IIRC. It has the big black dude from Pulp Fiction (Ving Rhames, I think his name is) in it. I have yet to see the original but have heard its the best zombie flick ever. Unfortunately no video store around here has it available to rent.

I know one thing I would have done different. Upon waking up in a hospital and seeing conditions like that I certainly would not be yelling HELLO until I figured out what was up and had something substantial to defend myself with.

...Another thing: wouldn't it have been quicker/easier to just spell out "HELP" instead of "HELLO" with the gigantic letters at the end of the movie? But I guess they didn't have much else to do while awaiting rescue.

The buzz on the Dawn of The Dead (aka best zombie movie ever) is that tis going to have NOTHING to do with the original. And Romero has zero to do with it. The script is available online and it appears to be in the process of REALLY sucking.

CORRECTION: there are script REVIEWS online. I havent found the actual script though. I just wish they would make it a different movie altogether rather than trashing the name of an already decent film.
