I thought this was the long-awaited sequel to that Sandra Bullock movie where she goes to a drunk camp...

Seriously, though, I'm willing to give this a shot. Not a huge fan of Danny Boyle (Trainspotting is fun, A Life Less Ordinary was such crap that I wrote him off and never bothered with The Beach).
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

This is the movie that will make my opinion of him ... I liked Trainspotting as much as the next guy, but then, The Beach... this is hard to forgive.

When I saw the tv spot, I thought it was cool to have a story about if everybody just disapeared of the earth and you were the only one there, I always think about it, but then I saw the zombie/horror whatever and it killed my enthusiasm, Ill make no judgements tho

just got back from 28 days later.  i liked it.  it definitely wasnt really what i expected, but was enjoyable for anyone who is the slightest bit interested in what they've seen from the previews. i dont want to give anything away, but its very different.  there arent too many low budget well done zombie flicks nowadays so this is a rarity.  had some good scares.  an interesting score (thats danny boyle alright).  and some interesting commentary on the nature of violence and soforth.  thats all for now.  interested to hear what others think of this flick.  

my danny boyle background:
LOVED shallow grave, have on VHS.
LOVED trainspotting, have on VHS.
LIKED a life less ordinary, have on VHS.
LIKED the beach, seen only once in theatre.

What was the deal about wearing a red shirt to the preview?

at mine, NOTHING!  a bunch of us nerds were easily identified, thats about IT.  i am very interested to know if there was anything going on at other cities.  but not in Philadelphia.  we got some stickers and a few backpacks (but it was at random thru a radio station and red shirt or otherwise).  pisses me off.

I thought it was really cool but then the last act kind of destroyed some things that made me respect it so much.

Spoiler...

I thought that the suicide note from his parents was really striking.

...

I like all of his films really. I need to see the Beach again though. Its such a brilliant concept. I haven't read the book but am I right in thinking that they dont get away quite so easily as they do in the film?

I thought it was fantastic.  I can stand very few films shot of DV and this is surely one of them.  Danny Boyle also gets +'s with his soundtracks, this one having Grandaddy,  Godspeed You Black Emperor, & Brian Eno.

Quite good.  Deserving of a 2nd viewing.
