Ha! I knew it was the porn star...but the other half was convinced it was one of the characters from that crappy Young Hercules show...

I saw 28 Days Later (back on topic) and I liked it until the ending. What the fuck was that?? The music wasn't very good either...but I did like that special camera crap they did...with the darkness and I can't really explain it, does anyone know what I'm talking about?

The music wasn't very good? No, I don't know what you are talking about

Can someone tell me in detail as to what happened on the alternate ending? The movie stopped playing where I live before they released the new ending after the credits.

SPOILER TO ALTERNATE ENDING

After the general gets dragged out of the car and killed, Jim and the two girls drive off. Jim is wounded badly, so they take him to the nearest hospital in Manchester and try to save him with an adrenaline shot. It doesn't work. There's a little bit of crying. Then the younger girl (I don't remember her name) looks up and asks "What do we do now?" Cut to both of them walking down the hospital hall, carrying their guns, as two swinging doors close on the camera.

I liked the other ending more. Also, unless you just want to see the movie again (which is a good idea), I wouldn't pay just to see the new ending. It's interesting, but not mandatory viewing.

You mean, DV footage? Looks good, don't it? Fits the mood. Some of these guys don't think so, but they're wrong.

Finally saw it... really enjoyed it. I thought it was *very* intense.

Only have two minor gripes : i wouldve used less music (in general) and i thought the "shopping" scene was bordering on being ridiculous. IF they needed a lighter scene to bring the audience's pulse down, they couldve just used the cemetery(?)/field scene for that, but it was really hard for me to swallow how they just went "shopping" in such a happy and careless way after what just happened... a bit more and they couldve turned that scene into a "montage"

aside from that... i really loved the movie as a whole...

if anyone wants to be disgusted visit the movie's IMDB forum... its 10 pages long but there is a GEM of a thread on the main imdb preview page called something like "THE NUDITY WAS UNNECESSARY" .... funny (as in pathetic) stuff.

i actually really liked the shopping scene. As a matter of fact it was one of my favorite parts of the movie. I think the characters went through so much crazy shit that they allowed themselves to be carefree and happy as a sorta false escape.

I liked the song during the shopping scene

I dont know, I guess it felt the transition from the tunnel sequence to the shopping sequence felt too jarring for me, and the "montage" feeling of the music behind it made it worse for me

Anyhow, that scene didnt take a single thing away from the fact that i thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I felt drained when i left the theater, and that is always good , to me.
