Zombies

A couple of zombie related TeeVee shows coming out. I’ve set DVR to stun. Hopefully, they’ll get back to zombie basics. More on the zombie genre here, calling for more violence.

I told the wife that Zombieland was hysterical. But she could not make it past the opener due to the blood.

    My wife had the same problem with Zombieland. I don’t expect “the banquet” in any of these shows, mostly because they’re on regular cable.

    Zombieland is on my list of Best Movies EVER – right next to Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

    “And yet none of the characters in a living-dead movie ever seem to know what’s going on. ”

    Seems to me he can’t be a real zombie movie fan if he’s not familiar with Return of the Living Dead. Right at the beginning, two of the characters try to kill a medical cadaver, and reference the Romero movies when trying to figure out what to do.

    We rented Zombieland and watched it on the flight to Maui last year, thanks to the little EeePC.

    Zombie basics may include the “banquet” but I still wonder why zombies became able to outrun a fit adult and perform other feats of superhuman strength and agility.

    Where are the mindless shambling heaps of broken flesh, soulless but hungry, unable to think, plan, organize, or open a locked door? They were merely nasty and dangerous, not diabolical.

    What we have now is more like the angry humans infected with the Rage virus, from 28 Days. And they might as well be savage Indians or marauding Mau Maus or well-organized Zulus or drunken Cossacks or rampaging Mongols for what they bring to the story – which is an enemy, a foil, for heroic deeds by the protagonists.

    If I have to watch a movie about odds of a thousand to one, with success or death as the only options, I’d as soon see a very young Michael Caine behind the ramparts at Rorke’s Drift.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
