He was the only level-headed person in the group. Ben was a hot-headed,self centered jerk,especially in the remake. Cooper spent the whole movie trying to talk sense to everyone while Ben gave them the foolish idea of "boarding up the house". Ben thought he was all tough runnin' around stickin' guns in everyone's face but he didn't scare Cooper. Then Ben wanted to take the door the little girl was sleeping on and make the poor sick little girl sleep on the cold cellar floor! Then Ben broke the tv and blamed it on Cooper,saying he was "gonna take it in the basement",when everyone knows you can't get any reception in the basement. What a dickhead! Last but not least ben tries to muder Cooper's daughter,then he shoots cooper,but cooper shows him who the real toughguy is when he pops a couple caps in his jive talkin' ass! Then there was that trigger happy Barbara,who was shooting blindly at anything that moved and wasting all the ammo,Cooper showed that he was a true hero when he took the gun from that psycho b***h before she shot everyone dead and alive! Then after all the lives he saves the dumb broad kills him! Cooper was the hero,the rest were a bunch of yo-yo's! BUNCH OF F**KING YO-YO'S!
Wow.
I hope this is a joke? Yes????
I'm not even going to begin to comment on the fact that Cooper was the smart person....wrong.
Go buy a copy of the original NOTLD and watch it. I promise you that you will think differently about all the characters especially Barbara.
That's what I call iconoclasm. Perhaps even zomb-iconoclasm.
ha ha! Stop me when I get too funny!
Sorry, just finished reading about the early years of the Byzantine Empire.
Gotta admit, though, he was right about the basement being the safest place.
Right or wrong about the basement, can anyone really say that Cooper wasn't hot-headed and self-centered? (Haven't seen the remake, so I dunno if the character's different there).
<<>>
Sure, he was both, but he was pretty scared, too. Abject fear definitely magnifies these things in a person. In the remake, it was Barbara that turned out to be the logical one.
OK,I see the way you people are! If we were in this situation you'd all be upstairs running around like chickens without heads tearing the the whole damn house apart! Well I would stay in the cellar where it was safe and let you yo-yo's get eaten alive!
I dont know why you posted this on a bad movie forum where we all think clearly and sharelaughter and pain with eachother, NOTLD isn't a bad movie. It may be a B movie which has some context here that we all enjoy but it is not a bad movie.
For you to enter this forum and be an over critical angry lunatic freaking out about a 35 year old movie or its 13 year old remake is beyond me.
But what everyone else here is too polite to point out is that your attitude sucks and you sound like an a***ole who has a big mouth and intends to beat his opinion into all of us. Then you insult us the people who replied with their opinions and still think that you're right.
If this is a joke it isnt funny and if this is serious then you need professional help. Now do us alla favor and kindly remove your stupid ass from this delightful forum before Andrew removes it for us.
And what you fail to realize, jerky, is that he's JOKING. Did you miss the quotes of Cooper's from the movie(s) IN the dude's posts?
I dont see the humor in it. BTW how does the old snow white quote apply to me? Are you insinuating that I think I'm the fairest of all?(http://216.40.249.192/s/otn/angels/azzangel.gif)

You lame brains! You idioits! Are You Out Of Your Minds?
the zombies would not have known they were there if a bunch of yo-yo's wern't posing in the winow,Dickhead!
