High Concept Am I blogging...or am I pitching my existence? |

![]() Saturday, May 08, 2004 The Pitch: It's like Dawn of the Dead meets Dawn of the Dead! So the other day, I rented the original Dawn of the Dead. Again. This means I've seen it twice in the last two months. Which compares favorably with my current record for the remake of the Dawn of the Dead which I've also seen twice in the last two months. In fact, originally, I saw the remake in the theaters, rented the original, then saw the remake again in the space of two weeks. And after seeing the remake for the second time, I really wanted to immediately re-rent the orignal: only a strong fear that I would be creating an unstoppable memetic reverb that would have me dashing from the theater to the VCR again and again stopped from doing so. After waiting a month or so, I realized I still wanted to re-see the original, so I did. I think it's wise to wait as I no longer want to rush right out and re-see the remake. No, no. I am more than willing to wait until the expanded version comes out on DVD and then buy it.This would be the point of the blog where I dig right in as to what's so great about each version of DoD, apply my typically slapdash standards of critical comment, etc. No dice. I'm so brain-addled it took me ten minutes to make the para above sound at all rational. Plus, work has now come down the pike and I'm the only one who seems to understand what's to be done with it. posted by Jeff Lester | 3:46 PM | |
