Zombies: The Best Flick?

Even if the creatures within these movies are proved to be zombies, the majority of them can move quite quickly.

It's called being fair. I included them for you... Not to be stabbed in the back.

Thank you.

Note: I don't consider any of what you mentioned... Zombie films. I did it for those who do. Not me.

Keep that in mind.

Thank You.

Nice way of saying.... screw the rules that work.

Just because it's cool.

A running, snarling Michael Johnson isn't scary.

"Ohhhh my god!!!......Watch Out!!!... it's an Olympic Runner!!!!" "Run for your lives!!!"

"It's a running Zombie!!!" "They must watch MTV!!!" "It's a zombie mash-pit!!!"

"They from a Zombie Frat!!" "Bring the Speed!!!"

I'm sorry that's not a Zombie film. That's fast-paced nastiness pretending to be.

"Ohhh... no.... Apollo Creed is running right for me...!!!!!"

"AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Whooooo!!! Whoooo!!!"

I thought quality counted, not fads.

The old ones are the ones being remade... We'll see. If people want to remake this lot, in ten years time.

I don't think it's worthy of a re-watch. I already did that 2 years ago and it still didn't change my views on it. I'm not the biggest George Romero/Tom Savini fan. I think George was a one hit wonder (Night). I know this will offend most but it's just my opinion. With that said, I think Night is one of the most important horror films of all time.

I agree with you... only extended.

Night of the Living Dead (1968), Martin (1976), and Dawn of the Dead (1978). That's it. The rest didn't interest me.

Whatever that means. Romero must have missed the memo .

Stabbed in the back? Not sure where that came from. Unless you're implying that because my opinion is of a dissentive nature, I must therefore be stabbing you in the back when communicating it, even though I directed it respectfully to you in an open forum.

The reason why I thought you believed them to be zombie movies is because you argued that they fit within the parameters designated by the dictionary definition that was posted above by surfdude12. This argument supported my deduction that you considered them to be zombie movies, fueled by the fact that they were already included in your poll to determine the best zombie film. I understand now that you were simply pointing out that technically, they might be considered zombie films, even though you personally wouldn't classify them as such.

No harm. No foul. And no backstabbing. Keep that in mind. Thank you.

I'm not sure where in this long winded rambling incoherent post you decided to make a point...

But in reference to running zombies, in practically EVERY zombie movie ever made their legs don't move as fast as they used to but their arms do... last time I checked Rigor Mortis doesn't just affect anything under your @$$.

So, if your arms can move at regular human speed... why wouldn't your arms? Especially if you have just been killed?

Besides, rigor mortis is a temporary condition anyway, so after a few days it becomes a moot point. Bruce just doesn't like running zombies. To each his own. I think both serve their purpose. All I know is as long as I have zombies and a beer, I'm good.

[DAROCKNESSMONSTER]

so anyone actually been to the monroeville mall where the original dawn takes place.

it is just the weirdest/coolest feeling to walk through it now.
it hasn't changed a whole lot, virtually the same.

[Marquoz]

This poll is a complete joke without Zombie Strippers. I mean come on, how can you have a Zombie poll without the movie that bought Jenna Jameson into uhm, well, wait, she was probably already in every guys house already, so hmmm, okay, I got nothing.

Take your beef up with George Romero. He made the rules. And his success made the rest possible.

His zombies are the standard... And they always will be.

Note: You keep usint this arm/leg beef. You've used that already. Move on.

Demonstrating absurdity, by being absurd.

These running 'zombies' are as ridiculous, as my words. That was my point.

Imagine Lance Armstrong chasing you down. With his bike, just for a bite.

Is that... what we have to look forward too? The Tour De Bite (2010).

Ad Slogan:

After hundreds of miles... even a Zombie needs a bite.

Tour De Bite.

Coming Soon... To a Neck Near You...

Why do you need two posts to comment on one quote?

I try and stay out of these threads because you, Bruce, ask for everyone's opinion, yet debunk said opinions in every single one of the threads when it doesn't agree with yours, and present your opinion as fact. Not to mention your constant "I'm the victim of abuse" posts. Stabbed in the back? You need less drama in your life.

28 Days Later, BTW.

I thought. It would be easier to read.

So do you.. it sounds like. Are talking about me or yourself?

Sir your grievance.. suggests your 'opinion".

I think you are 'feeling' this, rather than thinking it.

You've said more nasty stuff... about me. Your 'opinions' about me. In your one quote... than I have about any person.

I go after opinion, not people. That is the difference. I'm sorry... You can't see it.

I still.. wish you well. Sorry, you can't see it.

No... I think... that was his choice. See how you did exactly what he said in the previous post? He voted for 28 Days Later and you dismiss it as "feeling it" rather than thinking it... whatever that means.

(Sighs)... It wasn't about his choice. I was talking about his words.. not his choice.

If you read my words... there's no correlation.

I didn't even notice 28 Days Later.. till you mentioned it.

So sorry... that had nothing to do with it.

Anyway, have a good one.

Note: What does BTW mean anyway? It goes to show ignorance (my not knowing) can cause trouble. ...Oh well.

Dude... you QUOTED 28 Days Later... how did you not see them WORDS?

28 Days Later, BTW.

No disrespect but it's called talking about film. I personally enjoy a heated debate about a specific film that I thought sucked. Sometimes I get a different perspective on them. I'm not always right, you know. LOL. Isn't that why these threads were created to begin with?

Just a thought.

There were a couple words left. I wanted to fair. So I quoted them, and finished what I wanted to say.

Something BTW something Later. And I was like, "don't know.. but better include it."

..Now I know. Thanks.

I reacted to his words. I didn't even really look back, at that. Till you mentioned it.

I goofed up.

Thanks again.

[Sussudio]

i don't get it guys. why all the hate on bruce? if you don't like his threads or what he talks about in them, don't take part in them he doesn't directly insult other members, he just challenges people's opinions. like Blu-Ron said i think it's good to have a different perspective other than your own. if everyone agreed on everything here this forum would be really boring. it's nice to have someone stir up opinions every now and then

Okay buddy... so you didn't read the three words that were a movie title but read the 2 paragraphs above it? I dunno, when I'm wrong I just admit it and move on... but that's just me.
