BRAAYYYNNNNZZZ!

It's been one murfledy-murfle long frickin' time since Tom U. and I went to a monster matinee, so that's what we did today. We saw George Romero's Land of the Dead. Tremendous fun -- as Tom said, "Everything a zombie movie should be". Clever, original, scary, and fun fun fun. Not for the kids, not for a few years yet, but this is a strong candidate for Best Zombie Movie Ever.

So, what's the next movie you're looking forward to?

Serenity. Again! 8)
(The Firefly movie, for those who haven't heard of it yet.)

And the envelope please ....

Fantastic Four, of course.

Fantastic Four, though the only thing I really have high hopes for is the special effects.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's Depp. It's Burton. What else do we need?

Serenity and Fantastic Four. Hey, I'm a sucker for movies with Jessica Alba in it, and I wasn't a big fan of the comic, so I won't be arguing with the screen ;)

Hmmm... what everyone else has mentioned and, now that I've seen the trailer, King Kong!

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. For some reason, I can't seem to get too excited about Fantastic Four; not sure why. Now when and if there's finally a good Captain America movie ... Then there's V for Vendetta ...

Plus, I keep hearing rumbles about a Tintin movie -- which could be, likely will be, a disaster, but I'm looking forward to it. If only to hear the phrase "thundering typhoons" issuing from a character on the big screen ...

"Everything a zombie movie should be"

I hate to be a wet blanket, but my reaction to that phrase is "the first thing a zombie movie should be is not made". Some people are color blind, some people are tone deaf, and I guess I'm just zombie-appreciation-impaired.

It is to be admitted, being a) married to a lawyer and b) a filker do give one something of an advantage in the zombie-appreciation departments. :)

The movies everyone else has mentioned are awesome all over the place (July 15th = Best Day Ever), but I'm holding out for the Rent movie.

Expectations

[nezmaster.livejournal.com]

Since Firefly is a sedative to me (I have yet to see a whole episode since I always fall asleep) I have no interest in sleeping through, er seeing Serenity.

I expect Charlie to be disapointing, because Depp is no Gene Wilder. I expect Fantastic Four to be cool things blowing up with no real story. So my hope rests on Wallace and Grommit. But that's not till October. Sigh.
