Da, da. Noc glupih mrtvaca.
Kupila sam DVD Pakt sa vukovima i uz njega ide dodatak casopisa Film ili uz dodatak ide DVD... whatever... za 199dingy. U dodatku Filma (broj 1) ima predstavljanje novih dividi izdanja, ukljucujuci i komentar za  Shaun-a, usput dobio je cetiri (4) zvezdice.

Idiotluk od strane sitnicavog i stedeceg urednistva casopisa Film je da ne dobijate kutiju za dividi vec ga kupujete u papirnoj kesici (zar nije mogla barem plasticna   ) a na prvoj strani imate akciju sa makazama (kao u stara dobra vremena "obucite Cicu" u Politikinom zabavniku) uz reci
"isecite omotnicu, stavite je u pvc kutiju i dobice te luksuzno pakovanje filma".

Uzas.
Glorija i TV Novosti su im drzali lekciju, Film je tada spavao u poslednjoj klupi. Vala spavali su i na srpskom, vec zamisljam kako pisu "dobi cu".

Ja sad idem malo da placem...

[Morticia]

Morticia, je l si opipala tu "srpsku" verziju? Kako je uradjen DVD?

Srpska verzija mi nije jos pala pod ruke jer ni Zabac jos nije dobio doticni dvd. Kazu da je pitanje dana.
Naravno, devojka nije imala pojma o filmu sa originalnim naslovom ali kada sam rekla Noc glupih mrtvaca... momentalno je krenula da mi prica.
Sutra, prekosutra.

Evo kritike za "Shaun of the Dead" DVD sa sajta Fangorie:


Before anything else, I need to vent a little bit here: Rogue Pictures seriously needs to be taken to task for its less-than-stellar handling of SHAUN OF THE DEAD's theatrical release. Here you have one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year (91 percent approval rating on RottenTomatoes.com) and easily one of the most beloved genre films in ages—with more prerelease praise than any other genre film this year—and yet they couldn't get the box office past $13 million? 28 DAYS LATER got to $50 million at the U.S. box office while OPEN WATER did $30 million, both in the midst of big summer competition and, like SHAUN, with no names in the cast. I understand that opening a film theatrically is a very expensive process and you're at the mercy of theater owners and often fickle audiences, but with horror (and comedy) being bigger than ever at the box office, you'd think that SHAUN would be a fairly easy sell. And yet it played in no more than 645 theaters at the height of its release, missing a lot of markets that would have supported it. To me, that's not right.

I'm used to my favorite horror films dying in theaters; how much did EVIL DEAD II take in at the box office, or Peter Jackson's DEAD ALIVE? But we're living in the post-SCREAM age of horror being one of the hottest genres around. Just this fall we had THE GRUDGE, SAW and RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE making big bucks. Meanwhile, SHAUN, certainly better than those films, had a far smaller release, held on for a week or two and then got pushed aside for other, lesser films. I know that Rogue did much to publicize the film, that there were many advance screenings and plenty of Internet buzz, but in not getting the film out to the widest possible audience, they made a major mistake.

For those readers out there who missed it (of which, sadly, there will be more than a few), SHAUN OF THE DEAD isn't just as good as you've heard it is, it's one of the all-time greats. First and foremost, it's a comedy, but it's a horror film at the same time, no doubt about that. And it's quite possibly the greatest blend of the two since ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN. Not only that, it's the finest zombie movie since Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD. Yes, better than RE-ANIMATOR, EVIL DEAD II, DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE and any other examples of genre classics you want to throw out. In only his first film, director Edgar Wright (along with co-writer/star Simon Pegg) has done what Romero did so perfectly in 1979 (and 1968), which is to take a traditional horror situation and place it into a perfect contemporary setting with exactly the right characters to give it an everlasting resonance.

Pegg's Shaun is a perfect everyman upon which you could hang a great horror or comedy scenario (and the actor's performance is faultless), but the script works both with complete success. Look at the scene where Shaun and Ed discover the zombie in their backyard; there's little to no horror in their initial reaction—it's more fun and surprise, and an overconfidence in a situation that they have no real idea how to confront. SPOILER ALERT Then look at the scene near the end where Shaun suddenly realizes that he has put those he loves in complete danger: Some critics saw this moment as melodramatic and one where the film loses its way, but they're dead wrong. At the film's opening, we laugh at Shaun because, in part, we like and identify with him and want to see him pull through. As the film progresses, his failures become obvious and we laugh because he's a screw-up, and we're interested in seeing how far he takes matters. But we still like him. By the time this scene arrives, Shaun has learned just how much he has screwed up, and even though we know he only had the best of intentions, he learns that, yes, he has to grow up and face reality—and he's learned it with casualties.

Part of what's great about SHAUN is that almost every major character has an arc (typically relating to their faults) that aren't all so easily resolved; unlike many sloppily written comedies these days that could care less about such things, Pegg and Wright have worked out every major character, story and plot point to perfection. As far as I'm concerned, they should be teaching this script in film schools. On one of two commentary tracks on Universal's DVD, Wright and Pegg mention that the film was shot at the Ealing Studios and rattle off a list of memorable Ealing titles, like THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT and THE LAVENDER HILL MOB. SHAUN OF THE DEAD deserves to be mentioned in the same league.

For those who keep track of these things, Universal's excellent SHAUN disc pretty much ports over the contents from the British release (with a few supplements missing), and as obvious as it is that Wright and Pegg learned much from watching the landmark comedy and horror films that were SHAUN's inspirations, they also seemed to have gleaned quite a bit from watching other DVDs, since there's next to no wasted material here. Sometimes discs that are packed full of goodies can suffer from overkill, but the SHAUN DVD (like the film) walks a fine line and never loses balance. SHAUN-obsessed viewers are advised to start with the Pegg/Wright commentary, one of the best I've heard in a long time. Like a good commentary should, it allows the viewer to gain a whole new appreciation of the film. Every reference, in-joke (most of them relating to their Channel 4 series SPACED) and inspiration is mentioned, while seemingly nothing is overlooked. A great deal of attention is paid to the script, how the various jokes came to be, their place in the story and the constant foreshadowing of the various payoffs (so many of which I never noticed before). Not only that, but there are plenty of laughs and fantastic rapport between Wright and Pegg. Bloody brilliant.

The second track is a cast commentary with Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashfield, Dylan Moran and Lucy Davis. There's some overlap between the two (Pegg does much of the moderating) and not all of the performers are as vocal as others (Davis announces early on that she just got off a plane and is very tired). However, it's a solid talk, focusing more on the acting, of course, but once again there are plenty of chuckles throughout. Missing from the U.S. disc are the Brit release's commentaries by Bill Nighy and Penelope Wilton (who play Shaun's parents) and the zombie extras.

Continuing with the plethora of video segments (most of them quite short) collected under the title of Raw Meat, we have several segments from Simon's Video Diary, fun vignettes from the shoot recorded by star Pegg (including a painful moment for co-star Frost), plus zombie and FX test footage with comparisons to the final product. There are also casting sessions (not without their fair share of laughs), an EPK, and best of all Edgar and Simon's Flip Chart, recorded September 1, 2001 with Pegg and Wright going through the script scene by scene well before shooting ever started. It's fascinating to see the progress the script took from its original draft and also how much was already there to start with (it would have been nice to be able to read the complete chart, but I guess I gotta bitch about something). The Zombie Gallery gives us photos, a 2000 A.D. SHAUN comic and (my favorite) initial poster designs.

Some of the best supplements can be found in the TV Bits section, which contain moments seen only briefly on the tube at the beginning and end of the movie, but which are shown in their full glory here. One of them includes Chris Martin and other members of Coldplay, instantly earning them more respect in my book. Missing Bits has bloopers (the best of which, particularly for Beatles fans, can be found at the very end), extended scenes with commentary, a scene called Funky Pete that was reshot for TV airings and The Man That Would Be Shaun, with Pegg and Frost doing perfect imitations of Sean Connery and Michael Caine from THE MAN THAT WOULD BE KING. Priceless. Likewise is Plot Holes, which covers some of SHAUN's unanswered questions and contains the genius line "Contrary to recent theories, the living dead are actually very slow-moving"! There's also the U.S. theatrical trailer.

I suppose I should also mention, just for the record, that Universal's transfer (available only in its 16x9-enhanced 2.35:1 glory, thank goodness) is excellent. There are three 5.1 audio tracks, in English, French and Spanish. Although there's not too much in terms of surround effects, it's still a quality piece of work. I would also like to commend Universal U.S. for the improved subtitle tracks, which cover much more of the dialogue and audio FX than those on the UK disc. And did I mention the excellent trivia track and onscreen storyboard comparisons? There, I just did.

It's fitting that the best genre film of the year (and the decade thus far) should produce such a superb DVD. Between this, Criterion's VIDEODROME and Anchor Bay's DAWN OF THE DEAD box, picking the best DVD of the year is going to be a very, very difficult task. Like those titles, SHAUN OF THE DEAD is an absolute must for any DVD collection.

Sad si i Shaunu smanjio ocenu. Ima da postaneš džangrizavi starac sa nepunih 40 godina...

[Ghoul]

entropija... hlađenje... opadanje...

uostalom, pola ocene za 5 godina ipak i nije neki veliki pad.

[Tex Murphy]

Sad si i Shaunu smanjio ocenu.

Ta ocjena je bila previsoka in the first place. Mislim bacanje ploče Dire Straitsa, wth? To se ne prašta ni mnogo boljem filmu.

Mislim bacanje ploče Dire Straitsa, wth?

Taj ljupki detalj bi u teoriji dodao još pola ocene, ali u praksi je ocena već maksimalna.
