Zombieland
I LOVED IT. I needed it. I got an hour and a half away from life and laughed my ass off.
VERY VIOLENT, but hilarious. Check it out if you're into this kind of thing.

Re: Zombieland
Yes, it was quite good. The Bill Murray "cameo" was worth the price of admission.

Re: Zombieland
The Bill Murray part is the only part that made me *facepalm*. I mean, seriously; the world is overrun by zombies who want to kill and eat you. You're not a zombie, so naturally you have a "shoot first, ask questions later" attitude. Under what conditions would it seem like a good idea to dress up like a zombie and try to scare someone (who's probably armed) as a joke? Were we supposed to feel sorry for Bill? I actually said "Serves you right, you 'tard" when it happened.
Other than that, yeah, great flick.

Zombies don't run. Infectedland would be a better title.

Haven't seen Zombieland. Heard it was good. I dunno, I'm kind of worn out on the whole zombie craze. Ready for the next big thing.

Re: Zombieland
I was sick of the zombie craze when the movie was in theaters, which is why I waited a while to see it. I only even saw it because a friend got it on Netflix and was like "Hey we should watch this" and I was like "okay." And it was worth it.

Re: Zombieland
I have ridiculously mixed feelings about it, mostly because I think it was a movie made 90% for the crazy zombie and zombie-movie fan within me and 10% for exactly the people I am not. It was fun, it was self-aware, I like that it exists, but it managed to not quite commit to being either a funny zombie movie or a maudlin zomromcom or a hero flick or or or. That kind of weird patchiness in what otherwise could have been essentially The Great Postmodern Zombie Flick put me in a weirdly unsatisfied place, I guess.
My understanding is that it was originally pitched as a TV series, and frankly that's the thing I want to have seen. The weird too-much-too-fast schtick of the character development and character quirks and arc of the relationship and the Rules thing would all have felt a lot more workable coming out an episode at a time over the stretch of a season. I'd have been cheering my guts out when the twinkie got got during a key scene in the season finale or whatever, instead of just sort of shrugging amiably when it inevitably happened 80 minutes after we were pretty much promised it happened.
I feel silly for having such strong feelings about this.

Re: Zombieland
While I haven't seen anything on it yet except for a poster advert... AMC is making "The Walking Dead", which is a comic book series about zombies and survivors, into a TV series this year I believe. So... stay tuned. I'm on book 4 I think of the Hardcovers (which I think collect 2 of the softcover graphic novels in 1?) and so far I enjoy it.joshmillard wrote:My understanding is that it was originally pitched as a TV series, and frankly that's the thing I want to have seen.

I'll see your poster and raise you a trailer. Haven't read any of it yet but it's on my list, yeah.
