3. It had a title that doesn't exactly alert people that it's a sequel.
Isn't that sort of following in the footsteps of the original? I expected it to be a romantic dramedy sequel starring Sandra Bullock until I read the plot details.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Heh, I kept having that problem. Plus I'd forget which movie was which.
Me: "I watched 28 Days."
Johanna: "Really?
Why?"
Me: "What do you -- oh, sorry. 28 Days Later."

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, there's a movie where Sandra Bullock fights off zombies attacking a rehab clinic.

I think I would go see that movie.
Is Wash still in it? Will he be a gay zombie?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Parsing movie plots for success.
Interesting stuff. Especially anything that may reveal industry-accepted biases in evaluating performance.

ita's link led me to roam around Malcolm Gladwell's site...boy, do I love his interest in humanity...and then to his profile of Cesar Millan, who I have been reading about all day. Thanks ita. Very interesting stuff. And, dare I say it, that Cesar is hott.
