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.

they dont make em like they used to (evil dead springs to mind)

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.

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/)

Really?Its a fantastic book(King's best,IMO),but I dont think the film did it justice.

Just my opinion,though....

but i think they did a good conversion
