    1. I know you’re just kidding around, but that’s a gross misrepresentation of the plot! While the passage of time isn’t shown, they don’t have sex for a long time after the drowning, and when they do, it’s because the fortune teller gave the mother hope that her daughter’s spirit lives on in some way.

  17. Guys, i need you input

    I just scored the Dawn Of The Dead blu-ray italian set (only 30$canadian because it's region B), with 3 cuts of the film. Which one is the best? European cut (118min), theatrical cut (127min), or extended cut (139min)

    There's also the 4K version of the european cut on it, but i don't habe a 4K tv yet

    Man, i feel i just scored the deal of the year

    Thanks for you help

    1. I own the DVD set of Dawn of the Dead. You would have to watch the versions to decide what you like best. The main difference among them is that the European cut has most of the satirical scenes cut out.

      Delete
    2. --Theatrical first (better pacing);
      --Extended cut (little nuggets of extra gore, but pacing's a little off);
      --European cut (more Goblin and less library music -no classic "Robot Chicken" end theme song- plus removal of satirical scenes make this a different -not better/worse- version of classic "Dawn").

      My $0.02. :-)

    3. I wholeheartedly support Vargas assertions.
