sufc_tom 04-01-2006, 22:18 NOoooooooooooooooo
dawn of the dead original is quite funny when at the end he contemplates shooting himself in the head then all of a sudden that patriotic, inspirational tacky music comes in and he starts leathering all those zombies instead of just gettin out of there alot easier.

IMO you won't / can't appreciate Fear and Loathing unless you've done your share of class A's. Damn, i appreciate that film!!!

Well... not strictly true. If you like Terry Gilliam films there's a good chance you'll appreciate it.
Also, if you have an interest in the death of the ideals of the sixties and the rise of Nixon and Vietnam war then you'll also find it interesting.
An affinity for hallucinagenics will certainly help though :D.
Craig7777 05-01-2006, 17:37 Donnie Darko
Fight Club

The Jacket

Kind of, they were only really famous for those 3 movies (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110064/) really as they were crap rappers, and they also had a cartoon, and another film called Class Act (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103978/)
Craig7777 05-01-2006, 18:10 i have seen that class act just remembered
didn't realise i was such a fan:)

Really?Its a fantastic book(King's best,IMO),but I dont think the film did it justice.
Just my opinion,though....
Craig7777 06-01-2006, 17:45 i do agree the book is brilliant
but i think they did a good conversion
i might watch it again when i have got a full day spare:)
