    I liked so much of it but hated somethings about it. I hated the smart zombie. I liked the zombies re-enacting their lives. I hated that somehow the people in the city managed to survive while being really stupid which made no sense. I hated the live and let live ending.

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    The movie was meant to be a cool vombie movie, but also be a social commentary on the post 9/11 united states
    ...excert from see I'm not keen enough yet to figure it out on my own

    ``Land of the Dead'' is a have and have-not story -- timely, given the current focus on the chasm among classes in the United States. An elite few live the good life in a skyscraper while the masses suffer in squalor. Mercenaries scour the suburbs, gunning down zombies and foraging for groceries for the urban privileged.
    The wealthy use fear of zombies to control the living population, an angle Romero uses to comment on the post-Sept. 11 world.
    ``Since 9/11, a fear came into it, and people have capitalized on how productive fear can be as a device,'' co-star Baker says.

    Greetings,

    Smart Zombies are not such a bad idea and is a logical continuation. Bub in Dawn of the Dead (the original one) was the first. It shows that they are evolving.

    I saw it yesterday and really enjoyed it. I envision the zombies evolving to the conciousness of a caveman (sorry to all you sensitive cavemen) where the live humans become advisors or wizard like guys who help each zombie warlord. Until they all have to band together to fight the aliens.

    it was day of the dead. just a misspelling.
    yeah the zombies were too smart. basic stuff like chopping with knife and stuff. but their brains are decomposing. but it makes sense for them to remember stuff. surprised the water didnt have walls either. if they were smart humans, they would have put up walls around the water too.

    Yes Gentlemen,

    It was definitely Day of the Dead. Thank you for the correction.

    Shaolinlueb,

    I read a review of the undead and it was trashed. Then again, cult classics often do get trashed.

    Remember "Showgirls"? Now a cult classic. The two things I abhorred about that movie was that horrible rape scene and the director's inability to balance what we saw there with what Nomi did to the singer later. I desperately needed to see everything she did to that guy after that scene and it was simply left to the viewers imagination. The rape scene could have been handled similarly.

    A future cult classic: Bubba Ho-Tep

    But I digress.

    Shaun of the Dead is sweet

    Anyone see Shaun of the Dead? That's the best zombie movie besides maybe the original Night of the Living dead. Even Romero said "Shaun of the Dead is sweet".

    One of the BEST MOVIES EVER! Bruce Campbell as Elvis. A guy I can't remember playing JFK but he did a brilliant job. He also was black. Evil mummies who suck the life out of old folks because nobody will notice!

    SimonM beat me to it.

    The Guy who played JFK was Ossie Davis, who passed away a few months ago. I don't want to say more because I would spoil it. Just see it. Great stuff.
