Two out of three ain't bad, when the one is so good.

General Gau's chicken for dinner: normally very good, tonight too much breading and sauce. Bad.
Land of the Dead: If this movie were made about 15 years ago it would have been great, but now it's just... uninspired. Disappointing (kinda bad)
Getting dinner and watching the movie with M, talking about naked people in the woods, and dissecting Land of the Dead and the Star Wars prequal with scalpels. Good (almost priceless, not quite precious)

I call this a win for the night. More on Land of the Dead tomorrow. If you must see it, rent it. It will be more fun at home with booze.

"naked people in the woods".....should I even ask? ;P

He went up to Firefly this past weekend. Lots of firebreathing, burning things, and naked people apparantly. If you thought ManRay was bad on a Friday... yikes.

Undead Trivia

Slack, the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold (Asia Argento, which is a nice touch, since her filmmaker father, Dario, produced and helped with the score for "Dawn of the Dead").
Shw was also in
xXx (2002) .... Yelena
The Keeper (2004) .... Gina (Which also had Dennis Hopper

Riley (SImon Baker) Was on the SciFI series called The Sentinal and had a role in L.A. Confidential

George A. Romero was so impressed with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead (2004) that he asked them to appear in this, the fourth part of his "Dead" series, possibly in cameos as zombies.

And most importantly

Pillsbury (Pedro Miguel Arce) was in something called "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen"

Slack was one of the best things in the movie.
Damn, you're right! He was the "cover boy for Hush Hush magazine twice in one year."

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright were indeed in the movie, they were the photo booth zombies. Sadly, I didn't recognize them in the movie. Now I'll have to rent it just for that. Tom Savini also had a cameo, but him I recognized.

I can't even imagine what Pillsbury would be playing in that film.

Yikes! It's such a dissapointment (and a stomach killah) when the General Gau's is bad :(

Yeah, it's enough to make me hesitate the next time I order it. My favorite foods are betraying me.

*hugs* Well...perhaps we must find a place where we know the General Gau's is always good? The only place I know of where it is consistanly good is Kowloons on Rte 1...but that is quite the drive!

There's a New Asia down the street that's good on a regular basis. I think we may have ordered from it already.

Oh yes! I think we did. If I recall correctly, theirs wasn't half bad.

I want to see it again, but mainly to watch for the cameo's from "sean" and "ed" from sean of the dead. I'm torn on liking the movie. I didn't hate it, but I thought it didn't advance the zombie mythos much. Films like 28 days alter and the new dawn of the dead really turned up the horror, while sean found all the comedy (along with it's tributes to the earlier films). Strictly looking at it as an allegorical tale, it was interesting. I had a lot of little complaints, which just goes to show that I didn't get drawn into the atmosphere of the movie.

I'll have to discuss it more over cards some night, I was going to show up last night, but guess where I was instead?
