| Brenda: I would have to find a copy of copy of days and look either at the back of the box or look it up on line. That's okay if it is a mix. It would probably add to some level of realism. |
| 6ixStringJack: *weeks, not days (I'm talking about the sequel) |
| 6ixStringJack: Yeah. The main actors in 28 days later were a mix of British and American although it takes place in Britain. (Not actually sure how much of it was filmed where though). It's just a much different kind of movie. The first one was intimate, where the 2nd one has a lot more people and stuff going on. |
| Brenda: Well, if the first one was all British. They do things a little different . And sorry to say this but when Hollywood gets their hands on things from overseas, they usually manage to trash it in some way. Watched British tv brought to the US and yeah, just turns me off. |
| THG: |
| 6ixStringJack: The first one was really impressive for the small budget. The 2nd one was what you'd get 5 years later with Hollywood giving it an extra $10 or $20 million to play with, so even though it's got it's pros, it's got its cons. I think half of the entire budget of the first movie had to be paying the city of London to shut a few city blocks down long enough to do a few of the shots that don't make up much of the movie. |
| Brenda: Cool. I love Chris Eccleston. I will have to take a better look for it then. |
| 6ixStringJack: Oh... Chris Eccleston is in 28 Days Later too. It's the only other thing I've ever seen him in other than kicking off new Dr. Who. |
| Brenda: I'll look them up on YouTube then. |
| Brenda: Have to look them up YouTube. My library hasn't got copies of them anymore. I know they did. But. |
| Brenda: It was weird but about half way through or less I had figured out what would happen in it. When that happens the movie and or tv show don't interest me anymore. |
| THG: South Park

| 6ixStringJack: But 28 Days Later was really good where the sequel was a decent follow up leaving you vaguely wanting more in the future maybe. |

| 6ixStringJack: I do highly recommend 28 Days later. I'd tell anybody to watch that before ever getting them started on The Walking Dead roller coaster that never ends. If you liked it, you'll probably like 28 Weeks Later too, even though it's all new characters. Can't say anything about the new one though. |
| 6ixStringJack: Was it at least weird? I like weird stuff that makes you think for more than 2 minutes after you're done watching it. |
| Brenda: Huh. I wish I could remember if I have seen 28 Days or not. |
Brenda: Yeah, library had a copy in. No worries. Whenever you want to see it.  |
| 6ixStringJack: I liked 28 days later because those zombies were not the slow shambling type that are easily escapable and there are a few scenes where an entire crowd turns in just minutes. And because it was a man-made virus that came out of a lab. |
6ixStringJack: Oh. You watched it already??? Wow. Sorry you didn't like it. Now I suppose I'm obligated.  I'll have to watch and we can exchange notes. |
