A commentary track would be nice. All they would talk about is "Oh, shiny cinematography! That color correction! I love these set designs! It's so nice to look at!" and "This is realistic." :laugh:

Unless it were a director's commentary, in which case all you would hear are the squishy sounds of Gus Van Sant wanking to Kubrick movies.

just bought the dvd for 7.95
You must like it very much as you usually buy your dvds for 3 dollars. :)

It's not a masterpiece but still a very good movie and some real art.

I found the build up in Zero Day to be MUCH better as for the shooting. They were nervous as hell but they did it anyway. When they shot everyone, they didn't give stares that made Rooney Mara in Nightmare look worthy *cough* Elephant *cough*. They were enjoying it, they were having fun, eventually they got tired and just shot everything around them. The build up in this wasn't as awful as the shoot out but I found Zero Day's to be much better personally.

The issue is I'd say the shooting wasn't done well at all. The acting was terrible, and the characters behaved in stupid, unrealistic ways (casually walking up to the killer? Hiding in a freezer instead of climbing out one of the dozens of windows? Addyson pointed out the rest) The massacre wasn't powerful at all.
As for making it boring to make that scene more powerful, I can't judge since I haven't seen it, but that makes very little sense to me. Wouldn't the best way to make a massacre scene powerful be... making us care about the characters by developing them and making them interesting or likeable? Seems like making the movie boring will have the exact opposite effect: you just won't care that Victim #10 got shot because he didn't have a personality in the first place .

You know it's bad when One Tree Hill, a TV Show on the CW, manages to pull off a school shooting in a more effective way.

It's on YouTube I think. Either that or a new "home use" copy on Amazon that is a DVD-R.
