I will add this I love the show, but I really have issues with the fact that they have Rick’s wife and partner in a relationship. In the books it was a one time thing, it just worked better to me in that sense. The show has a tone of it’s own but I hope it won’t mess with the story line from the books.

I didn’t like the 2nd episode as much as the first. It was still good, but not quite as good.

i thought the end with glen driving away in the dodge alarm still going off was awesome . this show is delivering .

I will agree with you completely, E3 has me a little worried about the series I just hope people can hold out until we hit the real meat from the book once they get to the farm and the prison.

yes i agree the cgi blood wasnt the greatest but the makeup was awesome . im not that knowledgeable of the kirkman books but ive been waiting for the show and im very glad its here .

For those of you that have not read any of the book they are fantastic. read at least the first 12 so you know what to expect. I say the 12 due to the fact that there are now 76 book in the series now.

I love how it follows the comic and I love the zombies in it. They are doing a really good job so far. We shall see what happens.

I was worried that the show wouldn’t be as F’d up and twisted as the comic is. Within the first few seconds Rick is seen killing a zombie girl, putting my worries to rest. I really look forward to watching the comic play out on the small screen.

I loved the First ep. I was worried that it would not do the comic justice, but so far i’m loving it. I can’t wait for the next episode.

Was disappointing they skipped the cafeteria scene in the hospital but then came to realize it would have been to much to fast.

Me too. I hope I’m not disappointed. This could change tv as we know it!

The wife, and I are getting ready to watch the debut in about an hour. I’ll drop back in, and give some feedback. No spoilers though.

i heard from a source who’s already seen it that it’s completely amazing!

Watching it right now, so far it’s awesome

First episode was terrific. It strayed from the comic enough that you knew it was its own thing, but kept it close to the original to know that you could expect many of the plotlines to be there eventually. Acting, sfx, production values, all outstanding.

This will bring awesomeness. This is the best idea EVER. Take one of the greatest comics and turn it into a series….just awesome. They are doing a very good job.

i fucking LOVE it now that lost is gone im depressed and need a good show being that dexter kinda SUCKS this season

I haven’t seen this one yet, will have to

It was awesome!!! I actually wrote a paper on it for a film class arguing it to be a screwball comedy. Compared it to a 30s screwball comedy. I thought it was a damn good paper and argument. Anyways, it was an awesome movie. Very messed up and definitely a great example of a Miike film.

been looking for this film for a while, cant wait to see it

Just watched the trailer on youtube… the special fx makeup seems pretty solid, but I gotta say I’m sick and tired of those mtv-esque trailers with cheesy music and over-editing. But I am with you, it does sound like a promising movie.

Apparently it comes out on IFC Films in 2010. Hoepfully earyl 2010. I want this movie.

I heard some negative stuff about this film too, but I also liked the trailer so I waiting for this. Heard it had some similarities to Left 4 Dead so thats a plus for me.

The french have not let us down yet, and until they do i will buy buy buy!

Which are the best anyways! I used to watch them every weekend when I was a little girl. I could not wait for the “Looney Tunes” to be over. My favorite character is shaggy and scooby. They were always so funny and hungry. Anyone for a “scooby” snack?!!:):)[Read more]

I think both (Animated and Film =)) are really good, but the old ones like Scooby Doo and the Zombie Island were really awesome =).

And hey Che I want a Scooby Snack, but only if you feed me them with your hands :D.

if it’s ‘the new scooby-doo movies’ from the 70′s they were ok,if it’s the ones they’re making now i don’t watch them.although i did find the halloween episode with KISS amusing.

We are going to a small town called Nevada City, its an old gold mining town a few hours from our home. It is known for its cool streets fairs, antique stores and decked out Victorian homes. My whole family is dressing up. My son is going to be Jango Fett, my husband, Frankenstein, and I myself as roaring 20′s flapper with a cat mask and black…[Read more]

Agreed.

i dnt know afta watching scooby doo the film scrappy doo was evil
but got to love scooby doo the real hero

Scrappy all the way, baby!!

Scooby Dum!!! He rocks!

scooby doo

I actually want to add Shaggy to the mix!!

scooby-dum…they had to chase scrappy-doo down more than the villians chased them.

Kudos for this thread Madmondo;) O..K I did enjoy Don Knotts but I really enjoyed Jerry Reed as my favorite.

:he::he:Don Knotts! He’s cool and he was sooo funny in Threes Company and Andy Griffith shows!!

I did not know he was a character on Scooby -Doo, I guess I was too young to care about who was on the show.

The scary characters created were creepy and cool.

korn on the halloween one XD

hahaha the korn episode is from South Park,they were spoofing Scooby Doo.

i dont really have a favorite but the fact that the ‘a good medium is rare’ episode with phyllis diller was considered to be influencing kids to practice the occult by some holy-rollers is too funny!

wow i think i still have it on VHS but it doesnt work anymore…
Scooby Doo Goes to Hollywood.
Ive use to watch that one when i was young a lot!
good memories.

I loved them all even though, I knew the “scary characters” were only human!! Cool group!!

hahaha yeah all the bad guys seem to know everything about making costumes,cause shit those costumes always looked nice haha and they always seem to have very Elaborated plans.

It is hard for me to pick from the first couple of years but Scooby-Doo Where are you season one: Which Witch is Which. Just classic Scooby-Doo. But Scooby-Doo is in my top 5 all time favorite cartoons along with anything by Tex Avery, Tom and Jerry etc…..

its pretty difficult to decide on just one but I did like the 1st episode that has the creeper.

WHAT THE HEX GOING ON? – creepiest episode of all time!

i really dnt have a fav. but i liked STINKWEED in a pup named scooby doo. and in The Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo series it was The ghoul, the bat and the ugly with the shadow creature. That episode creeped the fuck out of me when i was a kid.

Dude i cant wait for Machete, and Savini you know is gonna be awesome in it.

I love the night of living dead remake,
but he is best known for his Make-Up Effects…
So i’m gonna go with The Burning(The Raft scene really messed me up pretty bad haha)
and Dawn of the dead.
I wish i could go to his school.

This is true but he has been in and directed a lot of movies.
His make up and fx are the best.

I gotta give it to Dawn Of The Dead. The ultimate edition of that is one of my prized collections.

God, I loved his work in TCM 2. And Maniac. That was some badass shit. To bad his out of work these days.

yeah too bad i miss his work,hahaha i love how he blows his own face off in Maniac.

Love the prowler… the pool scene… fantastic!!!!
or the pitchfork shower scene, all was damn good
also love the burning as well.

Day of the dead has to be the stuff that sticks with me, maybe cause i saw it at an impressionable age.

Day Of The Dead has some brilliant effects, I really want to watch it but I lent it to a mate.

Yeah, blowing his own head off in Maniac looked so good. Rosemary’s Killer had some really nice moments to. I love it when the guy gets the hunting knife through the top of the head, then he just sits there with his eye’s rolled back. The guy is…[Read more]

I agree with Oxley that Maniac and TCM 2, I don’t know if it’s true and I don’t listen to rumors a whole lot but the consensus is the guy is an asshole outside the FX spectrum. Can anyone confirm this for me.

I have met Tom many time when I lived in L.A and he is a really cool guy, I have seen him blow off and even yell at a few people but who doesn’t when your getting pulled in five different directions by fans. Tom is great most people don’t know he’s a magician and I’ve even seen him levitate. If you see him at a show ask him to do it he probably will.

Yeah, I’ve heard he is a complete fuck wit to people. His heads really up his arse.

Gotta go with Creepshow because he had to broaden his effects to other areas besides gore… plus Fluffy is probably my favorite creature he ever made!!:mrgreen:

I met him too and he was pretty much a dick imo… For some reason he choose to dislike me because my buddy was wearing a NOTLD shirt & I had a Fulci’s Zombie shirt lol…

At least I got to see Creepshow on the big screen that night.

I loved his work in Friday the 13th and in The Final chapter…Maniac and The Prowler

tcm 2 and his work in f13th are great.
