Nah man, have to disagree. Pontypool is one of my more memorable recent releases. I like how it breaks a lot of typical zombie film cliches. The abstract linguistic aspects (apart from their implausability) gave it the same kind of feel I get from Charlie Kaufman films. I also love that it maintains tension with miminal action and that most of information the audience receives is from distant audio sources (kind of like a film version of the War of the Worlds radioplay).

Just my $0.02...

Anyway, my girl is taking me to see this tonight:

About fucking time. I've been waiting on the film for many a release date push back. Pretty psyched that Omar be in it. I loved the book and I've heard that Cormac got a screening before its conditional release. He said the world presented on screen was just as he imagined it. I'm not convinced that he was being sincere; apparently the basement human stock scene is missing. IMHO this is a pretty important scene for establishing the nature of some of the inhabitants of Cormac's world.

i find it interesting in your contribution.... the same amount as the budget

of the picture....... who's got stake in this film .....hmm.... your economically

biased opinions can hit the ricky road jack

*it may be noted that the last 9 minutes were not watched..... Still

in the recycle bin so i guess if those minutes are geometrically pivotal,

and i would somehow fall and bum,p my head forget that the previous

1hr27 was a complete waste of time space and herb, IF..... then yes, i will

watch that ending

This looks exactly like my type of film :) Seeking it now...

From this point on, anyone watching camp/retro horror movies should be required to post a few lines of classic dialogue.

EDIT: IMDB suggests this might be better than I suspected. Also too obscure to easily find :(
