THE DIG: Fearing FEAR THE WALKING DEAD
http://cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2015/08/fearing-fear-walking-dead.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. Fearing FEAR THE WALKING DEAD. One always hopes for the best. This week, I was asked if I'd seen the trailer for the new series. I hadn't, so I took a look at it. To my dismay, it seems one of the models for the new series was our old pal WORLD WAR Z. The FEAR THE WALKING DEAD trailer is here:. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? In it, we have:. Sweet domestic moment before the storm. The characters get stuck in traffic. Motorcycle rockets by their door. Do you see anything? The oth...

THE DIG: When THE WALKING DEAD Try, It Works
http://cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2015/03/walking-dead-61.html
Monday, March 23, 2015. When THE WALKING DEAD Try, It Works. Another week where I initially passed on writing about THE WALKING DEAD but I've decided to offer up some thoughts anyway. Try" was a big improvement over last week's installment. Rick, in his 8.0 villain mode, tells Glenn the Alexandrians don't know what they're doing. ".their rules? We don't answer to them." Glenn notes the obvious- "we are. Do anything and is skeptical of doing anything. Rick, in a very well-done sequence, confronts Jessie a...

THE DIG: WORLD WAR Z (2013)
http://cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2014/03/world-war-z-2013.html
Thursday, March 20, 2014. WORLD WAR Z (2013). I'm told (by people who would know) that Max Brooks' "World War Z" is an exceptionally good book. Modeled on Studs Terkel's "The Good War," an epic, globe-spanning "oral history" of an apocalyptic uprising of Romeroesque flesh-eating zombies Definitely my cup 'o tea and one I'll likely imbibe in the near future. Or that's what I'd like to think. Am I wrong in that? Were people really just paying for empty spectacle all along? The suspense in killer! In this f...

THE DIG: February 2015
http://cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2015. The Big, Fat Disappointment: SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR (2014). Took me a while but I finally saw A DAME TO KILL FOR. Loved SIN CITY (2005). Really wanted to see this one. Bad word of mouth made me shelve it for a bit- didn't want my heart broken- but some mechanical troubles last night left me with some time on my hand- my computer has a condition- so I popped it in and gave it a once-over. Banned by the MPAA. For that matter, the movie isn't really terrible. To go to the...

THE DIG: Spend Mother Dick on THE WALKING DEAD
http://cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2015/03/walking-dead-60.html
Monday, March 16, 2015. Spend Mother Dick on THE WALKING DEAD. Spend," tonight's WALKING DEAD, continued some of the better work from last week, and was somewhat hobbled by some of TWD's usual problems. It kicked off with Noah suddenly being given some focus. He says he's in it (the Safe Zone) for the long haul, wants to be an architect and begins a journal to record all the things he's going to learn. Everyone knows what that. Means on TWD and, indeed, before the end he's zombie chow.[1]. I figured the ...

THE DIG: THE WALKING DEAD Covers Little Distance 2.0
http://cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2015/02/walking-dead-58.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. THE WALKING DEAD Covers Little Distance 2.0. Not much to say about tonight's TWD. "The Distance" is a title that would pretty much fit any of the last few eps, but not for the reasons TWD's creators would probably care to admit. To go to the sanctuary.[1] Aaron, the stranger in question, tells our heroes how to get to the Safe Zone and Rick insists on taking a different route. Aaron warns him that this proposed alternate direction is extremely un. Insert my standard complaint h...

THE DIG: WALKING DEAD: A Melodrama Problem
http://cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2013/11/walking-dead-34.html
Saturday, November 9, 2013. WALKING DEAD: A Melodrama Problem. I've written quite a bit about how this approach befouls the character interactions on TWD. Back in my very first article on the series. The first two episodes of this season actually dialed this back but by " Isolation. Except for politicians and professional wrestlers, human beings do not. Series like TWD, that's the weekly. Multiply that by every significant character and you have TWD. Each of these radically different, contradictory, ofte...

THE DIG: December 2014
http://cinemarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 9, 2014. A Few Words on the First Season of Z NATION Version 2.0. The original version of this article probably wasn't the worst thing I've ever blogged here, but my impression of it wasn't a terribly favorable one. Z NATION deserved better, so I've re-excavated this particular trench and, digging a little deeper, perhaps I'll get to some quality, in situ observations, instead of something that belongs on the spoil heap. J (13 Dec., 2014). 2] As long as it can afford it. Another of our ...
