I have free passes to it! Which is good, because I wouldn't see it otherwise.
Neil Gaiman has been very complimentary about the movie, but he kinda has to.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I still remember Neil Gaiman apologizing profusely for Neverwhere, where it was shot in video and then they never went back and doctored the footage like they said they would, which explained how crappy it looked because they had lit it and set it for a certain post-production effect.
He's involved in Beowulf? Oh.

because I love scores: I'm watching a documentary on the creation of the universe, and they used one of John Murphy's tracks from 28 Days Later. My favorite track, too! "An Ending/Ascent" Love! /random
Tiggy, skip the last three (although it depends on what you're in the mood for). I'd like to hear another opinion on 3:10, personally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I adore the 28 Days Later score. I need to buy it. I know no track names, but the song that plays when he discovers the abandoned London--love.

ita, if you adore the 28 Days Later soundtrack, also kick in for 28 Weeks Later: Same composer, same themes, but expanded on (although unfortunately no whimsical interludes like the painted driving scene or the grocery shopping scene, but it was a different breed of movie).
I was so sad watching 28 Weeks Later. It wasn't even different like Beyond the Thunderdome is different from Mad Max , or how Chronicles of Riddick was different from Pitch Black, it just took all the wonderful themes from the original and raped them, and maybe it would have been okay except for the end (although I did enjoy that France got it).
But the music was lovely.

Same here. Pete and I just watched it over the weekend, and we had to pause the DVD at one point so both of us could bitch about sloppy writing and plot holes.
