YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!

After a few mainstream zombie flicks bombed in the box offices I got to wondering, What are the ingredients for a good zombie movie?

ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the mainstream has forgotten that!
what zombie flicks have bombed? Besides Zombie flicks were never intended for mainstream imo
Land of the Dead! BOMB!
Survival of the Dead: BOMB! SO BAD! SO SO SO BAD!
Zombieland = SO BAD!


a real good reason zombie flicks tend to bomb in the mainstream box offices is because of the rating systems in place and the "Moral Majority". when the original Romero classics came out, the rating system was no where near as unreasonable as they are today. in the 70's and 80's you could get away with more blood and gore, more language, more everything. modern movies of today, if you use the "F" bomb to much or if you show to much skin, or want a lot of blood and gore are pushing the hell out of an R rating and risk not getting shown at all. granted the way around this for DVD release is to mark it as "UNRATED" or a "DIRECTOR'S CUT" but this does not help much in the theater release of a good movie. if the movie go'ers were to speak out more rather then stand still and let the moral dictators get away with running the show by telling us what we want instead of asking us, then in my opinion we will get the type of zombie movies we all want, love, and crave so much. as we komradz are united so must the common man be in order to reclaim the movie system we want and miss so much. the movie rating system is another example of how unity is not only a needed thing but a major must. united we stand. divided we are sure to fall and see it all go away forever.
I think the reasons newer zombies flicks have bombed is this urge to make zombies stronger and faster than previously conceived. It seems that in the intelligence era where everything is vastly improved over the years, zombies have too. The point of enjoying a zombie movie is not the zombies themselves, but rather the slow, suspenseful descent into a hell on earth situation that makes our skin crawl. Once the zombies stop being track runners and start being the slow creeping undead ghouls we know them to be, then the real drama of a zombie film will reveal itself, the tragedy of impeding doom...
actually LOTD and zombieland did well at box office and were both met with acclaim. Cant say that for survival. It's just that those movies havent met the expectations of the hardcore zombie fan. I for one loved em. I havent been let down by a zombie movie since I 1st watched Oasis of the Zombie and Zombie Lake. Now those are terrible zombie movies and a disgrace to the genre!
The new Day of the Dead was HORRIBLE! Bad acting, horrible casting (sorry Nick Cannon), outplayed story line, and a predictable ending.
ya i havent seen it and plan not along with those others I've heard of, Hood of the dead gangs of the dead so on....just terrible!
Those movies are FUNNY. If you want a laugh then you can watch them.
"both met with acclaim" I need to research that because those movies are at the top of my WORST ZOMBIE MOVIES OF ALL TIME list.

Been Awhile, BUt I'm still Alive

Greetings Everyone,    Well it's been awhile. As things go, life carries us all in different directions from time to time but you always find your way home sooner or later. Well, life ain't all fun and games, but right now, things are going good. I have restarted my writing on my book again, and as I learn more about about some of the ROle-playing games I have gotten into, I am seriously thinking about rying to create an actual Zombie Survival Role-playing game. But have not set any time…
