Entertain me. Or not, whatever, I'm not the boss of you.
Indeed. I think the vamps in Last Man that inspired Romero work pretty well, it's just unfortunate the film itself is remarkably dull. Whereas the darkseekers are even less scary than the robots in I, Robot.

Hunting deer in post-apocalypse New York: awesome. First appearance of the "darkseekers": creepy AF. Everything after that I can barely recall.
First half of the book is exposition heavy making adaptation difficult, but a new version could at least treat the vampires as freaking vampires again.

I saw this movie about 8 years ago and it was only last month I realised what the joke in the title is.

Finally saw this a year or two ago, and was taken, among other things, by its contempt for male heroics.

Judging by this and Dog Soldiers, Neil Marshall really likes seeing Sean Pertwee suffer.

I enjoyed this but preferred the proof-of-concept short film (usually a DVD extra), at least partly because in that the characters don't talk.

Cliffhanger ending during Knock Three Times when the child protagonists confront the evil pumpkin chasing them with a not-quite-magical-enough talisman; one is transformed into another evil pumpkin and joins the first in advancing on our remaining hero.

Given they had the one of the lowest primary votes since the war, and the number of seats essentially decided on a coin toss, by their lights I imagine they feel entitled to be timid. Not that they've needed an excuse to be craven in the past but, as with Starmer, their seat numbers are meaningless.

I got this for my Dark Disney collection though I haven't watched it yet. Apparently after a change in management Disney cut the more violent Cauldron Undead scenes pre-release because they thought they would put people off, which just goes to show I am not Disney's target demographic.

Played this once as a teen against three adults (my ma and a couple we were staying with). The husband was super annoyed when I recklessly took a hail mary chance before I had everything organised and managed to escape anyway on some lucky dice throws, thus bringing the game to a premature end.

Got the DVD. I didn't even know there was a 3d version. If they did 3D justice to the antagonist's death that would have been impressive. Erm, no pun intended.

The funniest thing about this flick is that the bereft denizens of this dystopian slum spend their ubercrappy lives taking a drug which SLOWS DOWN their perception of time.

Hilariously, the dude on the right is George Galloway, which he he has (unnecessarily) confirmed. The photo is from a conference in London the Times bitched about a year ago.

Second fav dragon flick after 'slayer, & only partly coz I like how critic Nick Lowe saw it as a battle between 2 versions of the post-apocalypse: the US one, where everyone tools up and joins a private army, and the UK one, where everyone puts on a thick woollen jumper and starts a victory garden.

Ridley Scott: always a better art director than director even when directing well.
Still - "I could eat her brains like jam!" is never far from my mind.

All I remember about this, apart from the autodecrucifixion, is the bit where the pursued hero drops into the castle harem, and the ladies are so taken by his male-itude they beg him to stay and then attack the guards who are chasing him.

Feel free to research how the Zionist dominated Jewish groups in places like the US and Britain refused to advocate for Jewish DPs to come to their countries after the war, like, say, Italian or Polish groups did, preferring they head to the Middle East to serve the ZIonist project.

Zionism predates the Shoah by fifty years. And I'm talking about ALL uses of the term, not just when Zionists use it. Also, "we need to steal someone else's land so we can feel safe from killer goys", isn't self determination by any definition.

"Self-determination" in any case is nearly always just a stroke word for ethno-nationalism, when it isn't entirely meaningless. The best you can say is it's a silly way to advocate anti-imperialism, which Zionism can hardly claim for itself, given how much the project owes to the British Empire.
