This. Zombies are overdone, stupid and uninteresting.

Let’s see other monsters dominate the post-apocalypse genre.
Same with Rogue AI.

I’d honestly love to see more ghosts or stuff like ogres.
Ghosts, trolls, ogres, vampires, witches, werewolves and other were-beasts, banshees, cryptids, motherfucking dragons (my favorite), etc.

Post apocalyptic fantasy and fairy tale creatures sounds rad as hell.

I said it once on this thread but it bares repeating.

Outside of video games, I can't actually remember the last time we had a big-name zombie story in the last ten years. Aside from the Walking Dead TV show, I guess.

^I think that the first Resident Evil film owes much of its success to the fact that 28 Days Later came out the same year. Had both films not been released in 2002, zombies may not have proliferated quite to the extent they have now.

The first Resident Evil was released in the US in March and the UK in July, while 28 Days Later was released in the UK in November and didn't hit the US until January of the following year. I can't really see how the latter film could have helped the box office of the former.

Proximity of releases for similar titles is rarely considered a boon to either. For example, sticking to zombie movies, George Romero attributed the relative box office failure of Day of the Dead to its having been beaten to theaters by Return of the Living Dead.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Two words.

Zombie dinosaurs.

I'd love for the Jurassic Dead book trilogy to be adapted into a TV series.

You'll have to elaborate on this one. When you say "peoples rights to commit murder" what exactly are you referring to? Hope it's not what happened yesterday...

Sorry you feel this way. A lot of very unfortunate women are going to be completely FUCKED because of what happened yesterday, but you do you.

But I bet your answer to school shootings is just put more guns in the schools, right?

You see this lil reaction you built up here? This is a prime example of just how outnumbered you republicans really are. And you can congradulate the SCOTUS, because they just mobilized the entire left again.

Anywaaay...

Um, San Andreas? That disaster movie from 2015? I actually thought that one was pretty decent, as far as natural disaster movies go. I thought it balanced the spectacle and the emotional heart well.

It's a fun popcorn disaster flick. My issue with it is well, same issue with most Dwayne Johnson movies: He doesn't act. He just plays himself in every role.

I couldn't care less if I ever get into any of the big gaming franchises.

For all the bitching the MCU gets these days I still think it's the most consistently entertaining movie franchise alive at the moment. Sure it's got its' ups and downs but I always walk out of them more or less satisfied.

The MCU isn't perfect but I'd gladly take it as the current popular action movie franchise model over something like Transformers.

Transformers being botched is a real shame, but I’m glad we got the original trilogy, and I love them for what they are. Sexy, Explosive, Badass, Corny, all of it. I would have never gotten Optimus “We will kill them all” and “give me your face” Prime without the Bayverse. I couldn’t give less of a shit to AOE and TLK though. So much to the point where they’re the only TF films not having any contributions in my upcoming tourney.

Anyways… Beat It is my favourite Michael Jackson song. It’s better than Billie Jean IMO, the mainstream pick for MJ’s best.
