Its discrimination I tells ya!

[Deleted]

I'm watching my new favorite Zombie movie, Zombieland right? And well I'm banging to the beginning, for whom the bell tolls...and boom it hits me...I can't remember seeing one wheeler zombie in any zombie flick..Can anyone?


Shinnanigans I SAY! I could wheel down the fastest fatty out there I know it!

[Triassic]

aaah, mellow i'm happy to say there is ONE wheeler zombie;

'shaun of the dead' about midway thru, on the street among all the lurching zoms...one dead wheelr chick zombinette.

if you listen to the commentary, the director at that point says; 'there's liz-our friend liz..'

[Ouch]

Well those with SCIs and other spinal abnormalities can't become zombies, because you need a fully intact nervous system for zombification to occur. So upon being infected by a zombie, we'd either die, or be immune.

Also, zombies are cannibalistic, so unfortunately, Darwinism gets in the way, and we're usually the first ones eaten...

...and even if we could be zombified, zombies can't operate mechanical or technical objects, so we wouldn't be able to propel ourselves...it could also be that a zombification mutation could cure disability as well, rendering wheelchairs obsolete...

...or, it could just be that the BOW has prepared all of wheelerkind with suitable 'Zombie Plans', and we're all survivors in a Brotherhood Enclave.

[Triassic]

NO WAY, wind/arawn...you need to go back to zombie101. a zombie will keep going relentlessly until it's BRAIN is destroyed. SCI would only slow it down, not stop it. altho one in a w/c would probably just sit there going 'rrrawr! garrh!' and jerking around. zombies are most certainly NOT cannibalistic to other zombies! really, arawn-i am surprised at your zombie-ignorance...

i'll plug a couple of movies here; not strictly zombie films-scarier, really... i highly recommend the spanish film [REC] and it's american remake 'quarantine'. [REC] is better, but both are very good. frightening and tense.

[Ouch]

Ah, Mr. spasticus, it is a sad, sad thing to see how misled by flimsy media you are...

[REC]/quarantine...were awful films - dear God, scarier you say? I couldn't tell if they were trying to make a comedy or not.

I am an expert on zombies, and zombie extermination - I'll see you after you get out of the remedial course.

[Triassic]

well, to each his own. REC creeped me out; especially the end.

zombie movies, excep for dawn of and night of le living dead, are pretty much the bottom of the horror barrel in my view.

My favorites go like this


1. Zombieland
2. Shaun of the dead...(some how I missed the wheeler chick )
3. 28 days later ( not zombie but hey...if it chases you down like a rat and then clubs you to a thick pulp and eats your juicy gray matter it counts in my book )
4. Soon to number one is when ever Rob Zombie decides to stop playing around with Michael Myers and his child like angst and do a real Horror flick..


I wouldn't mind seeing a zombie outbreak in Japan! Imagine every sword in Japan making Wagyu beef till the bitter end trying to save your baby's mama....just have to make it to the fishing boat! then pan up from city showing it spreading like wild fire....

[Triassic]

you can tell how much the ladies are into all this stuff; the zombs, killer space rocks, rants about the gummint, global warming...

they've all left. gone.

paradevo is a sausage fest now.

[Inigo Montoya]

Are there biscuits, too? <---- hopeful smile

I'm here and reading.

I love Shaun of the Dead, have not seen 28 Days later or Zombieland. I am woefully ignorant of zombie culture and etiquette. I'm given to understand it mostly involves... hello, happy to meet you, pardon me but I must behead you before you eat my brains...

I've recently found some books that I think are very cute, like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

As far as That's All Folks Space Rocks I'm a bit of a fatalist. For that matter I'm a bit of a fatalist about global warming (and I don't buy in a whole lot... ) and as far as ranting about the gummint, my views are not the common view here and so I just mostly don't share. We womenfolk were pretty involved in the global warming part of the discussion.

[Inigo Montoya]

Besides aren't zombies, global warming, gummint and killer space rocks all linked?

Like the killer space rock hits earth killing many ppls and carrying a zombiefication virus that's spread by the conditions created by global warming which could have been stopped if the gummint had responded correctly?

[Ouch]

We were talking about zombie wheelers - I think that is Paradevo material.

[Triassic]

see clover-you just plotted a viable movie right there.

so this 'twilight' tv show; i know NOTHING about it at all...just seen the picture ads of the 2 vampy, sultry teens. and i know he's a vamp, she's not. thats it.

my friend was over not long ago saying how she's a fan of the show and starts to tell me about it. i say, 'wait! stop! I'LL tell YOU about 'twilight'...and i did; gave her the basic set-up, the main characters, the conflicts, the plot so far-even a few twists and subplots.

she said i'd gotten it 90-95% correct. haha... its just that i knew what a mass-audience, 21st century teen vampire series MUST contain. i mean, there are only so many changes that can be rung on old bram's ancient bells.

[Inigo Montoya]

I had fun tormenting the niecelet at Thanksgiving over Twilight. She was telling me she'd read New Moon and I told her I thought it was way cool that she was studying astronomy. ;D There was much eye rolling and "But, but!"

Would twilight and the moon fall under astronomy? I have to confess that I wasn't sure...

[Inigo Montoya]

I can do zombies way better than I can the really supernatural type stuff. There are some movies that I look at the trailer and say to myself.... "nope, not gonna." Because I know I wouldn't sleep for weeks. I am Ms. Chicken.

I have never seen classics like Poltergeist (seen scenes ;D), or Rosemary's Baby or The Exorcist.

[Triassic]

mint...dope...epic

people really say that.
