Pig Sty (1995)
This show was great
6 May 2004
Friends has to be one of the most over-rated sitcoms of all time. And the sad part is that UPN's PIG STY took a simular concept and made a much, much better series.

PIG STY was laugh out loud hilarious, and far superior to the more successful FRIENDS.

It's really a shame. PIG STY was a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was UPN's first season. As a new network few were watching them. Only STAR TREK VOYAGER survived that inaugural season. The tragedy is if PIG STY had aired on NBC or ABC it would have been a huge hit.

Tonight the final FRIENDS airs. I could care less. I wish PIG STY had landed that plum spot on NBC's schedule and FRIENDS had aired on UPN. Then we'd all be celebrating PIG STY's long run, and not the vastly inferior FRIENDS.

Not a remake
23 March 2004
This movie is NOT a remake. A remake, by definition, is when you "re-make" the same movie again. The 2004 Dawn of the Dead is an original movie based on an older one. This is a re-imagining as Tim Burton did with Planet of the Apes (but much better!).

This film is great. It's funny. It's gory. it's violent. It's suspenceful . It's everything I go to the movies for. Is it as good as the original? Hard to say. It's a different animal all together. For one thing the original was part two in a trilogy. This is a stand alone film. It's a differnt film, made in a different era by a different director. The story and characters are different. All the remains from the original is the concept of Zombie's in a mall. It's a great film, though.
