Final Destination was a Morgan & Wong product, no? Filmed in Vancouver. So yes, logical to see many XF grads. Also 2 current-or-future WB teen drama folks. A veritaBLE CORNUCOPIA OF THE LATE 90S TEEN-HORROR ZEITGEIST.
eek. Cat hit capslock. Sorry.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I'm finding it both a little disturbing and oddly comforting to see Dr. Fraiser in the reruns.

Nutty, did you see the DoD preview?

I didn't actually have the TV on this evening, so no. But I have seen Final Destination, 28 Days Later, and my personal cheese-o-riffic fave, Disturbing Behavior.
Dawn of the Dead confuses me. Because, I guess, not having seen much in the way of zombie movies, only parodies of same, I'm a little unclear on what the not-parody appeal of a zombie movie is. Genial flashbacks to Thriller ?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't seen 28 Days Later but I heard good things about it. You don't agree?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Damn. The TiVo switched to record The Sopranos before DotD preview came up. Ah well.
Good-ish cast though. Sarah Polley AND Ving Rhames.
Nutty's cat knows when to hit the ASSCAPS--she/he's probably more literate than most people I know.
I knew FD was a Morgan & Wong flick but have just never gotten around to seeing it. It was sort of entertaining in that proposterous way.

Oh yeah, I did like 28 Days Later, but would not have gone to it without prompting (from Theodosia), and liked it in a way that was extremely particular to that one movie (i.e. had practically nothing to do with the zombies).
So, although I've heard that, say, the original Something of the Dead movie was a brilliant comment on something, possibly bourgeois shopping habits, I actually don't know what the traditional appeal of the zombie movie is.

Hmm. I've only seen Night of the Living Dead in that genre, and I really liked it. Don't know if it was for reasons inside or out of the genre.

I know that there was some brief chat about Celeste in the City earlier, but I want to add my .02.
DREADFUL. DREADFUL. DREADFUL.
I wanted to turn it off in the first 15 mintues because the character was so damn stupid, but I kept it on to see NB. Thank Joss for Tivo, so I could fast forward. NB's character was awful, totally stereotypical, as were his friends (though the appearance of "Deborah" Gibson character was a refreshing surprise) I know that it was ABC family, but the story and ending were trite and unbelievable. I want my two hours (okay 45 minutes Tivoed through) back.

Vortex, yup. I also loved the part about how getting a makeover is the key to success in both one's love life and one's professional life. Especially a makeover that makes you look like a hooker.
Redeeming qualities: 1) Ethan Embry was pretty cute. 2) The running gag that we developed about how everyone should be set on fire or else made over as Robocop.
