I so wish that Jackson would go back to his roots.
|
I have a friend who everytime he plays a game where you kill demons or the like yells out "I kick ass for the lord!". Drives me nuts. :)
|
Nice review, man. I wasn't expecting another out of you. This one is definitely more well written than the last, and summarises Dead Alive well. Jackson's early work blows LotR out of the water.
|
and lo, the lawnmower quickly became a favorite zombie-dispatching weapon... second only to chainsaws and shotguns. :P
|
"I kick ass for the Lord" is oft-quoted among my friends too. Nicely done.
|
One of the greats. BAD TASTE is still way better though.
|
"Party's over." VRRRRRMMMMM
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn't gory at all, by the way. |
I have at home an original 12 foot long "Braindead" vinyl banner from our local cinema when it came out. The tagline on it is "a love story of a boy, a girl and some power tools". Classic!
|
I had the good luck to catch Dead Alive at a midnight screening a few years back, and it's even more enjoyable on the big screen. Also, I think it added to the film to be able to watch it with an audience of rowdy/drunken movie-goers.

"Our film opens with a story about raped monkeys. No, seriously. We learn of the murderous Sumatran Rat-Monkey and its origin on the fabled Skull Island."
. . .Also, I don't recall the scene where the monkey is raped. Perhaps I blocked it out. |
I have never seen this movie. I should correct that.
|
Does anyone here like Meet The Feebles?
|
Terrible-D: The part about raped monkeys happens off-camera. It's tied up in the origin of the Sumatran Rat-Monkey and how they came to be.
|
'I kick ass for the lord' isn't my favourite quote, mine is 'that's my mother you're pissing on'.
