Re: Attn "Dawn of the dead" fans!
Thanks a lot. I've always liked this film after a fellow stude showed it to me during my MA years. Most predictably bang on about its 'consumerist' subtext (yes, and?...) when really its Romero's marvellous tableaux-like direction that's the real pull.
Good to see Romero back in action too, what with both jokey rock-zombie pic Diamond Dead and (finally) his fourth true zombie pic Land of the Dead lined up (in a future walled-city those fighting the dead have turned to rich/poor segregation - sounds fab).

Re: Attn "Dawn of the dead" fans!
Although a fan, I can't work out how they managed FOUR DVDs from a 90-minute flick.
BTW, that theme music throughout the film (yes, the one that sticks in your brain like cement)- anyone know the title (so I can, um, avoid it....)?

Re: Attn "Dawn of the dead" fans!
Aren't there any other versions they could have included? Wasn't there a special , sub-titled with a Marxist-Leninist slant copy shown in the Outer Mongolia Film Festival in Ulan Bator.
But seriously, isn't this verging on the ridiculous or the obsessional?
