Some <a href="http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/index. ... l">awesome news</a> about Land of the Dead:<blockquote>Simon Baker ('Ring 2'), John Leguizamo ('Spawn') and Dennis Hopper ('Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2') are joining Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg ('Shaun of the Dead') in The Land of the Dead, George A. Romero's return to the zombie genre that he made famous, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Asia Argento and Robert Joy also are joining the cast. Written and directed by Romero, the story takes place in a world overrun by zombies where the survivors live in a walled city. While the zombies are evolving, certain factions seek to overthrow the city. The film is meant to complement Romero's earlier zombie movies, "Night of the Living Dead," "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead," and also start a new line of zombie films. Universal Pictures is distributing domestically and internationally via negative pickup. 'Land' hits theaters October 21st 2005. </blockquote>I cannot wait. Dennis Hopper put in a stunning performance in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092076/">The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2</a>.

Be shamed! You mention Dennis Hopper for his role in TCM2, yet despite this being a post-apoc website you do not mention his wonderful role as the leader of the Smokers in waterworld!

*still doesn't understand why no-one likes that film... the bungee scene was the only cheesy bit of the film and most good films have a bad point or two...)

I admit Dennis Hopper was an awesome bad guy in this movie, but overall it sucked.

It had salvaged modified vehicles with mounted weapons, makeshift weapons, a scrap town, psychotic raiders, a big battle, an enemy base inside an ancient oil tanker, ruined cities, mutants... what more can you want, bar it to be set in a desert? =D

I want good acting, story and a generally well directed movie, which Waterworld isn't.

It's fallout on water to me.. the attitudes, the styles, everything...

The scene where the mariner (aka Wanderer) meets the guy on the boat, and they trade, after calling out their languages... the cowering peasants on the atoll, the methods of attack the smokers (aka Raiders) use, sending their jetskis under the water to burst out of the central pool... ahhh loveliness .. *twitch*

Waterworld's so shitty, they show it on CBC.

They played Titanic a few weeks ago.

I note your lack of actual reasons for waterworlds apparent 'shittiness'

The direction sucked, the actors sucked, the little girl was annoying, the bungee thingy at the end was incredinly stupid. I still watch it whenever it's on TV.

I can apply all those points bar the bungee scene, and the specific gender of the annoying child, to The Road Warrior... Do you hate that too?

The Road Warrior was awesome because it had young Mel Gibson kicking arse, a gay bad guy getting his hand chopped off, school buses, desert, post-apocalyptic desert. The direction was good.

It's just a matter of taste and opinion anyways.
