Some Things That Could Have Made "Dawn of the Dead" Even Better

last weekend, gwaley and i went to the movies. dawn of the dead had opened the night before and the commericals seemed to promise a good show so we decided to judge for ourselves. it was AWESOME. the commericals don't do it justice, it was that good. it makes me want to go out and rent the original dead trilogy (night of the living dead, dawn of the dead, day of the dead) created by george romero. (fyi: the orignial dawn took place in monroeville mall. not relevant, but an interesting tidbit nonetheless.)

although dawn of the dead was totally scary and awesome (it was the first time i've ever actually screamed during a movie), gwal and i couldn't help thinking that some things could have made it better.

in the scene where the baby zombie is born, gwal and i both thought that it would start running around, biting ankles and flying up and attacking people's necks. it would have been totally sweet if the baby zombie ran around, but alas, it did not *tear*.

sarah polley (anna) and jake weber (michael) hooking up on a kill bus would have been totally sweet too. a kill bus is very simply a mall shuttle with metal reinforcers attached along with barbed wire and a plow. the sexual tension between anna and michael was crazy, they should have just hooked up on the floor of the kill bus. nobody would have known.

during the scene where andy, the gun store guy, was shooting celebrites that included jay leno, rosie o'donnell, and burt reynolds, i had a bunch of celebrities that i was hoping he would get, but sadly did not. if i were a guy, and andy would have shot avril lavine and good charlotte, maybe the kid on dawson's creek and billy crystal, i would have had a huge raging boner.

although these elements were not present in the movie, it was still awesome. i'm probably going with my friends again, and i'm working on getting my boyfriend to go. don't wait, stop reading this, and GO NOW!!!!!!

when there's nothing else to read in hell, the dead will read my webpage
