Django action figures. Is that taking it too far?

I wrote a piece last week defending the controversial movie Django. Since then it has come to my attention that there is now a line of Django action figures. That’s right action figures. Do you think that this is taking things a step too far or is this just plain old fashioned capitalism at work? http://aareports.com/2013/01/django-action-figures-is-that-taking-it.html

An open letter from AAreports to Spike Lee about the movie Django.

First let me state that I like Spike Lee and I am a supporter. I am one of the four people that actually saw Miracle at Santa Anna and at least tried to see Red Hook Summer. ( Okay so no I didn’t really try, but did you see the trailer? ) Read more here: http://aareports.com/2013/01/an-open-letter-from-aareports-to-spike.html

Interview with 1 of the creators of Night of The Living Dead Live ( it’s a play adaption of the movie. )

Earlier today I got a very intriguing tweet about a play. To be more exact an onstage adaption of George A. Romero’s classic film Night of The Living Dead. An adaption that has the approval of Mr. Romero himself. So much so that he is an executive producer of the play. I was immediately interested. So interested that I reached out to the creators of the play, Phil Pattison and Christopher Harrison. Phil Harrison was nice enough to do an interview here at The Dead War Series. Check out our interview here: http://www.thedeadwarseries.com/2012/09/interview-with-1-of-creators-of-night.html

Raw footage World War Z

I found this video online completely by accident. It’s some raw footage of a scene in what seems to be NY from the “upcoming” World War Z. It appears that the zombies are coming and soldiers are rushing into action as civilians flee. This footage is from 2011 so there’s not guarantee that it will even be in the final movie. What is interesting is that no zombies are in the scenes. Let’s hope that doesn’t mean excessive use of CGI. Check it out here: http://www.thedeadwarseries.com/2012/09/raw-footage-world-war-z.html

What’s the most ignored warning in horror and scifi stories / movies

When it comes to many horror and science fiction movies and or stories there’s always that moment when someone no matter how intelligent does something incredibly stupid. They do something that normally unleashes death and mayhem when if they had only listened to someone’s warning everyone would have went home safely that night. But of course then there would be no story or movie. What do you think is the most ignored horror / sci fi movie / story warning?
