Shaun of the Dead

Re: Shaun of the Dead

I saw the trailer before The Village. I haven't seen a comedy/horror film that's looked that promising in a loooong time. It looks great.

The reviews at rottentomatoes.com and imdb.com are pretty good too.

Hahah "There is no I in team, but there is an I in pie..." that's my kind of humor hehe

I think it shows promise

Thats what the zombies should look like in Resident Evil...I hate all that CGI zombie crap
 
Re: Shaun of the Dead

This is an awesome movie. It's been out for a while in the UK. It's very funny. Go see this when it comes out. The only problem I had is I sometimes had trouble understanding them (The Brits). Nothing against the movie of course, you just have to listen carefully if you are American (or at least I do anyway)
 
Re: Shaun of the Dead

It makes a change for you guys to be only now getting a film we saw here months back. It reminds me of the days when we had to wait for 6 months after a North American release to see a movie in the UK.

As for the film its ok but clearly didn't have a huge budget, but its much better than the Day of the Dead remake. George Romero said he loved "Shaun" and now he wants to remake Night Of the Living Dead!

On a side issue, its always puzzled me when Americans say they can't understand the British/English accent (like most countries they vary widely depending on where you come from in the UK) unless everyone speaks like Hugh Grant! Yet we are expected to understand every American accent from the Deep South to Boston and all points in between and we do, without subtitles!!
Personally, and appropo of nothing, I do like a woman with a Texan accent (Holly Hunter, Angie Harmon, - Law and Order)-very sexy!

Didn't mean anything by it. I was just saying it's hard to understand at times (for a stupid American from the South.)Sorry if this was offensive to you...
 
Re: Shaun of the Dead

TylerGred-no need to apologise. I wasn't offended at all- sorry if it sounded that way.I was just puzzled why Americans often found foreign accents difficult to understand when there is such a diverse range across the U.S. Does a New Yorker, for example find a Kentucky or Alabama accent hard to grasp?

Personally, as a Brit, I like the accents of the Deep South states.
 
Re: Shaun of the Dead

I'll be seeing this in San Francisco this coming Wednesday night. The director and lead actor will be on hand to speak about the film. Looking forward to it.

Re: Shaun of the Dead

Im a native San Diegan and people from the south and north east have always said I talk fast.
 
Re: Shaun of the Dead

Wow, it has been a long time since a british movie caught my attention.

This seems a good movie.

All the best

Fidel.
