Wow... Your glass is always half-full isnt it?:)

I have started seeing things this way:

Monday: Hey, Hell's Kitchen is on. an actual reason to want Monday!

Tuesday: Hey,Tomorrow is wednesday, then its thursday, which is practically friday!

Wednesday: only 2 more days till the weekend. Plus 2 episodes of Good Eats tonight. Booyeah!

Thursday: What? it isnt Friday? Fuck me....


Friday: Yay! i'm going to fuck off all day because friday is just a workday tacked on to the weekend, Yeah!

Its keeping me semi sane.

geez mr. negative

I like your attitude sir.

how does that make me negative?

should zombies be able to get credit cards ...
and if so, what should their limit be ?

because.... it does... :D

I have no problem with a zombie, thru observation, learn how to shoot a gun. But once it turns into zombieS with guns it gets pretty ridiculous. I liked Bub so I had no problem seeing him use a gun. Since Romero is the godfather of zombie movies I'm sure whatver he does will be revolutionary to zombie films to come.

yea but for better of worse

'Guns don't kill zombies- zombies kill zombies' ~ new bumper sticker :D

Here is a relevant question....


Are zombies covered by the second amendmant? They are people, sort of.

the second amendmant to what ?

teh US constitution. It's the right to have an armed militia, which is often interpreted as the right to bear arms. it's basically the part of our Constitution that says we are allowed to own a gun.

ahhh the one that most americans get tattooed over their hearts.



do you think zombies should be allowed to vote ?

americans do love their guns, but zombies arent covered by it...

Nah... the brain dead tend to vote for Bush (ba dum bum)

Political "humor" aside, why not? they may actually show up to the polls...

"90% of all zombies who register to vote actually vote. Now you living people.. 52%? Cmon... get off your asses. the DEAD people are making your decisions for you...."

Which isnt too far off the mark. More elderly people vote than youngins...

why don't or wont zombies attack or eat each other..??

why do they attack and eat anyone !


i thought it would be more likely that they would play bingo or stay home and watch seinfeld ..

i like bush... haha! innuendo!

nah but really... you gotta give him SOME props... just because no one likes him... except for me... something tells me i shouldn't have said that aloud...

'cause they only eat the living

I won get into it. I think he is a smug arrogant idiot. The only props i give him is that i am surprised he has the brainpower to continue breathing somehow.


Anyway, i cant remember who wrote it or what it was called, but i believe there was a compilation called "the big book of zombies" or "The Mammoth book of Zombies" that had a "real" story of Night of the Living Dead, where the dead people were JUST walking corpses. they didnt react to the world around them, they didnt eat people, they just bumped into things and smelled a lot. it was pretty good.

and that answered my question - how ?

flesh is flesh..

The use of external articles as BLUDGEONS and so forth, I might point out that even animals will adopt the basic use of tools in this manner. Intelligence? Seemingly little or no REASONING power...

thanks for that... and how totally irellevant, a zombie using a gun compared to a zombie using a tool, i.e. a bat or other thing like that, when we all know that zombies can in fact do that, if you'd have seen night of the living dead you'd have known that... remember? the little girl who got bit, and was down there with her mom, and she picks up the garden hoe thingy and kills her? yeah... exactly...

with my complements i bestow to you, a bottle of 37 years too late

yeah but they only like living human flesh, just like the DOTD remake, they didnt eat the dog because they dont like animals, and they dont eat eachother, because the flesh is decomposing or something.. although, something's been bothering me with the zombie survival guide, zombies in movies dont eat animals, yet it clearly says in the book that they will... hmmmm, thats suspicious to me... i'm not really sure on how to handle that book anymore

Actually, my previous post was just a quote from a certain movie.

************

I've been thinking about it, and you know, overall, if I could influence the storytelling of the "Dead" films, I would say "no" to the gun thing. I can handle Bub now, many years later, but I didn't like him back then.

Bub is a special zombie, Logan's friend, and a pretty swell guy. I think eventually they could have taught him to eat Beef Treats instead of people, and eventually they could have unchained him so he could do chores around the cave, you know, like sweeping, cleaning the bathrooms, and so on. Bub lived at the end, of course, so I imagine that he probably taught the other zombies to read and write.

sounds like it's time for a reality check ...


do some of you actually think that there are zombies .. and that they follow rules ?

This thread seems to be an examination of how the viewers of the films interpret the myth, and what they consider believable within the context of the myth...it's funny how much a person can care about the media crap they watch! For example, it really deeply bothers a lot of people that VAN HELSING was a piece of crap. It's just a movie. Why is a movie so important?

I have always felt that a decent movie will sort of get inside your head and convince you of its reality to the point that you wonder about the details the film isn't telling you.

Like, let's say that Medusa's stare can turn you to stone. Okay, sure. But...will it work if you see her reflection in a mirror? How about in a puddle of water? Will a photograph of her stare turn you to stone? (Or, will you stare at a photograph of Sharon Stone?) Maybe a photo will work, but how about a 2nd generation photocopy of that photo? Will that turn you into Shredded Wheat?

i do....

because the hype builds up our anticipation .. we get all excited about a huge budget frankenstain/vampire/werewolf movie (a huge treat for a horror fan) with a star we all like ...

and then we for out our money ($13 each here and add 35$ for the babysitter)

and then we are presented with mind bending garbage ...
i didnt want to hate it - i went though a lot of money, trouble, and 2 hours of my life ... why would i want to waste that - just to jump on the hate bandwagon ...

i saw it before i heard a single negative thing and left the theatre feeling embarrased that i saw it ...



thats why it was important to me that it should be a good movie ... I dont enjoy bad movies !!

wait... actual zombies? or movie zombies... cuz there are actual zombies in cambodia, google "zombies in cambodia" and you'll see what i mean... it's a form of malaria, when you're infected you die, and you resurect (i think i spelled that right) i think a day or a few hours later, and act really violently towards everyone... pretty neat in my opinion... well not neat, so much as.. well you know what i mean...

so yeah, there are real zombies, and the "rules" are a combination of the ____ of the dead series and the zombie survival guide...

i guess i really wouldnt care if the zombies used guns, if they were ALL like bub, and were trained and taught extensively in a lab somewhere, that i wouldnt really care about then, but if they just "magically" use them, then i think its gunna suck balls
