Please explain Zombie

[SquierJazz72]

I like zombie films because I like to see morons get eaten.

I can second that. While I am not so big on the deaths of the inoffensive, I particularly enjoy watching zombies munch down the truly deserving. But I suppose if zombies only ate a$$hats, it would stretch credibility.

Plus, like a lot of post-apocalyptic themes, its a take on how we, as humans, would deal with it. Some would rise to their best, some just try to get by, and some would descend to almost zombie like behavior themselves, preying on whoever they could for their own benefit. And, I am sure, plenty would "opt out", as Dr. Jenner said in The Walking Dead.

one of the most gruesome zombie deaths (imo) was when the guy gets dragged out the window of the pub in shaun of the dead.

Anyone into "zombies" should play Last of Us and listen to the "We're alive" podcast, such a great audio show.

I always thought of it as man's fascination with seeing humanity in its uncontrolled, animalistic form.

Zombies just give that character type a label so it doesn't sound crazy.

I had to put this here, "we're safe but for how long?"

that being said, zombies are cool and stuff, but it's no big deal if it's not your deal. It's mostly a camp factor thing for me, sometimes there are legitimately good high-budget zombie films, but for the most part the best ones are made on a drawstring budget and have a sense of humour, think return of the living dead, it's better than zombie land because zombie land seems to have some post-modern "hey look, it's COOL to be geeky now, see how cool it is?", it's like somebody gave them a huge budget, but nobody told them that acting like you have a low budget on a big budget just isn't the same. Or something like that, just watch the link, it's kids in the hall.

Zombie tactics. I personally prefer those using slow-quick-quick-slow-quick.

XTC reference?

Zombie is also a heavily political song by Fela Kuti after the police threw his mom down a flight of stairs.

I always wondered..isn't Jason Vorheese just a zombie too?

Kind of. Or he could be considered a revenant, one definition of which is a spirit brought back as an undead by the power of revenge.

A new wave band. They had a song called "Dancing Band" and there are some lyrics that go "slow, slow, quick, quick, slow".

Nice, I do music reference without even being aware of it. It's in my veins.

XTC is great band. I don't think they get the props they deserve.

LOL! I once accused Anthony Braxton (not directly, mind you) of writing elaborate charts which could be reduced to "loud, soft, loud, loud, soft, fast, slow"

Despite popular opinion, we really could use a big reduction in the price of beer.

I really dislike fast zombies. Most people don't run very fast and most don't work out. I draw the line at fast zombie because they should be substantially slower than the living cuz they're kinda dead.
