I can’t tell whether the reviewer made an effort not to compare the show to the awesome Harrison Ford movie or if he just didn’t know it existed. Anyway. Having been burned by too many of these shitty tv remakes, and even having been involved in making one or two, I’ll stick with the movie, methinks.

That first season was spectacular.  Bicycle Girl and that one dead guy they used to gut themselves up, where Rick vowed to remember his name. Didn’t take long to have that thinking fall by the wayside.  It sort of had to , though.

The smoking-while-fueling thing is movie shorthand for “just way too tough to care”. It’s a trope. See Blade. Or a dozen other movies. I agree it’s a tired tired trope, but a trope. As for the big saw: If a tiny waif-woman could wield one in High Tension, it’s good enough for a kooky zombie heist caper.

So the "zombie " outbreak in this was just a localized event? Based on Dr Okin's study of a crashed space craft? Huh.

What is it about Snyder and his characters? Can none of them just stand? Everyone has to pose when they stop moving. It’s a like a wandering, never-ending bodybuilder competition.

To add more to my original thought:  The reason Peninsula, in my opinion, failed, and the reason I stopped watching the Walking Dead is this.  At some point, the zombie threat becomes environment.  They become no different than giant bugs, or slow mutants, or killer bees, or just an ordinary big pack of hungry wolves.…

Hot Take:  Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead is, in many ways, the better of the two versions.  He should have gored it up more, but his take on the Zombie Apocalypse was pretty good.

I’m guessing they evolved their thinking. This happened, to some extent, in Romero movies as well. It’s the premise of Will Smith’s I Am Legend too. We’ve already had a zombie tiger in a movie. Can’t remember which one. And we’ve had a zombie deer, and zombie sheep in other movies. It was bound to happen.

That was the premise of the movie Peninsula, the sequel to Train to Busan....and it was terrible.

Drew Carey is an interesting example of my concern. I never found him the most funny of people, but he was sort of funny and surrounded himself with funny people and had a couple of interesting shows that I enjoyed. The Drew Carey who does The Price Is Right seems to be a completely different person. Dull and drab.…

I’m all for it.  My only caveat is that Burton has a lot of interests and other things he does.  If he’s just doing it for a while to add it to his list of accomplishments, then it’d be better to find a good fit who plans to stick it out all the way.  Other than that, big fan of the idea.

Throwing in a Highlander 2 reference! Ten points!

There is a major reason why Chester feels "extra" right now. 

Deckard's not a replicant. 

Aaccording to THAT show, Luke still looks like RotJ Luke.

Street Smart, at least, has the distinction of getting Morgan Freeman's star on the rise.

They are NOT using those cans right.

It’s not supposed to be a joke. A person can say things that are stupid and not be funny. It’s clearly meant to be pitiable and the kind of shit religious wackos say when things go south. It works where it is because everybody is chagrinned having this on the air rather something tangible and helpful on the screen. I…

I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t finish Locke and Key. Too bad THAT show is so bad.

Its a great book . I have always feared them trying to TV-ify it because it's such a bloody book. But they seem to get that it's essential to the story. So good. That doesnt look like Ottley's work, which is too bad. But I know what I'm watching on the 26th.
