    Why why why why was I happy not to bother watching this until the trailer. Why why why why am I going to spend around an hour later trying to find this on rapidshare.

    Why why why why.

    Seeing this trailer makes me realize Segal was born to kill zombies! His fighting consists of him keeping his distance from his enemies, as much as possible, while trying to incapacitate them. And all this time I thought he was just a germaphobe. : )

    I dunno, Im a sucker for zombie flicks so Im in.

    I love this blog, but I have got to stop trying to eat while reading them... trying to laugh quietly so my co-workers won't think me insane, I managed to sprinkle soup all over my shirt. And Seagal just needs to give up and retire.

    So Seagal is dubbed over in this flick?

    Lordy, what has this world come to.

    As someone obsessed with 80s action films and horror movies, I too had to watch this. After sending some thoughts to Hunter, he said I should probably just paste them here for you all to enjoy, so here I am obliging. Here are my raw shorthand notes on the film:

    I'm going to agree with you - this was pretty fucking terrible. This felt like the longest 14 hours of my life. Decent attempts at gore, an entertaining kill or two. Tanoai Reed is pretty cool, he probably has a future as The Rock Light, considering they're cousins or some shit. Seagal was hardly in it, agreed, and he was boring, just swinging his sword around. Ultimately a failure. fuuuuuck. "I'm the mother fucker that's goin do to you what you been doin to them." "We are the monsters now." - I am Legend fucking ripoff (the book, not the bad Will Smith movie).

    So as you can see, I agree with Hunter's assessment. And yes, that's the style I write all my notes in, no matter what film I'm writing about or what topic/target audience I'm writing for. You should have seen my notes on 100 Years of Russian Politics back in College.

    Why is your avi a picture of Fred Durst?
  • RobertFure · 9 months ago
    Wow. That's like the most offensive thing I've ever heard. That's really me. =(

    I assure you in person I look nothing like Fred Durst.

    Damn dude, I really meant no offense by that.. I thought it was a tongue in cheek reference to a washed up loser... at least you have a new boiling point article
  • RobertFure · 9 months ago
    hahaha, I wasn't being serious. It's fairly hard to offend me. My response was a joke about Durst and how he's so far out the door that being compared to him would be offensive. No worries mate.
  • Rob_Hunter · 9 months ago
    Too late Wes. Once Fure is offended no degree of apology can assuage his fury. Of course, referring to him as "a washed up loser" doesn't help your cause much either.

    Expect to see yourself in an upcoming Boiling Point where Fure rants about being mistaken for has-been celebrities like Durst, Casper Van Dien, and Whoopi Goldberg.

    Being compared to Casper Van Dien is not rage worthy, it makes me feel like acting in Sci Fi channel originals.
