Comments on: Weekend Box Office- Metaphor Lost As Millions Amble Listlessly To ‘Zombieland’ https://staging2.theplaylist.net/weekend-box-office-metaphor-lost-as-20091004/ Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:59:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: gabetoro https://staging2.theplaylist.net/weekend-box-office-metaphor-lost-as-20091004/#comment-11359 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:31:07 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=6009#comment-11359 Kim, actually, that was precisely the point I was making. The Dawn of the Dead remake and Zombieland are going to become the most successful zombie movies of all time. They will become the Blink 182 and the Green Day of their genre, because they aren't interesting, kinda suck, and won't really be remembered very much in fifteen years. The Sex Pistols were also successful, but they didn't break into the mainstream at the time so effortlessly.

I acknowledge with this post that Green Day has many well-reasoned fans. Snore.

Support quality, you jerks."

Americans dont care about movies from the UK. Its not even the same English so why would they care!

And comparing these films to Green Day, Blink 182 and Sex Pistols… you should called yourself a jerk.

Commercially successful films dont means that it sucks. I hope your not that closed minded.

The original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and DAWN OF THE DEAD made tons of money back in the days. Were they crap because of that?

Seriously I was expecting more then pretencious "journalism" from there.

I sat there for a good sixty seconds and went, "What's 'The Weather is Food?' I've never heard of that movie."

I personally never made it very far into the Whip It script but I didn't think it would do this badly. Roller Derby definitely isn't very relateable and I'm guessing that's what did them in, not the marketing.
