Post by: Gunthr on December 21, 2004, 09:04:40 AM: I love the sight of rotten zombie goop splattering on a wall in the morning ... its like ... like... chunky chicken soup for the soul.

The only thing that bothers me though, is the zombie kids. You kinda hate to shoot those little ankle biters - but hey! You get over it and do what you gotta do :D

He could work it... he just couldn't aim it.

Post by: lazs2 on December 24, 2004, 10:41:14 AM: ahh... I just seen the commercial (trailer). It didn't go bang and no zombie heads did the watermellon thing.. Can't all males in the world aim a lever action rifle? I mean... it is genetic or something ain't it? We all had lever action BB guns as kids right?

And where did them limeys get a gun? Next their will be big block chevelles in their movies!

They put a gun in the film to ensure it was a success in the USA :)

Post by: lazs2 on December 24, 2004, 11:04:15 AM: I have seen a lot of limey "action" films and they all seem to have firearms in em... they do a really bad job of portraying em but then... so do we.. british films are just a magnatude worse at it.

Post by: Hooligan on December 27, 2004, 12:20:44 AM: If it was realistic droves of Brits would meekly submit to having their brains eaten by the zombies. No firearms of any kind would be used and when somebody finally objected to being slowly gummed to death and decapitated a zombie with a butter knife they would be immediately arrested and sentenced to life in prison for their vigilantism. After which, their entire extended family would be sued into destitution by the zombie’s relatives.

We could even vote a zombie into power like the US too :)

Post by: lazs2 on December 27, 2004, 09:18:51 AM: If the zombies won we could make england a hunting/theme park.

We would have to put a canopy over it tho.

replicant... keep current... the zombie lost. and.. he wasn't really a zombie just a poor guy brought back to life by a mad scientist using old dead bodies. He was a great guy as his hit tv series showed. He couldn't get the female vote tho.

...and call it New California?
Title: Shaun of the Dead
Post by: lazs2 on December 27, 2004, 01:47:15 PM: need some pretty big sun lamps to do that but.... sure... why not?

yep... a package deal would be great... say, $1000 for passage over to New California, and a 1 week guided hunt for zombies with no limit. Imagine one of those snaggle toothed buggers heads mounted on the wall in the dinning room (if there is any head left).

Post by: Gunthr on December 27, 2004, 02:12:03 PM: I'd probably go for a full mount, if it didn't cost too much

(http://srg2000.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/fatzom.jpg)

I'd probably want to take a buck and a doe, to make a scene of a mated pair hunched over some meat. That would make a natural looking tableau.

Post by: lazs2 on December 28, 2004, 09:00:10 AM: yeah.. some of the mature ones get pretty big but... you have to have teeth added... best to get a young one that still has most of it's teeth.

Post by: Gunthr on December 28, 2004, 09:21:42 AM: well, if you could maybe stake out some homeless limeys for bait, you could actually take your time and pick and choose the best zombie specimens - ... don't know if it would be legal to take zombie off a baited patch, tho.
Title: Shaun of the Dead
Post by: Mini D on December 28, 2004, 09:40:58 AM: The risks are too high. I'm sure that doing anything other than biting the zombie if, and only if, he were in the act of biting you would not be justifyable under British Law. Shooting them would only result in either attempted murder or mutilation of a corpse (maybe even both) with all the associated lesser charges... and, of course, the more serious charge of actually having and firing a gun.

Basically, all of these zombie stories occur in England simply because it's safer to let them bite you than to risk an excessive jail term simply by attempting to defend yourself.

Title: Shaun of the Dead
Post by: mechanic on January 01, 2005, 10:24:29 PM: Man, i can 'deffend' myself perfectly well without going to prison.

main reason being that we still know how to fight like a man, not just point and shoot at whoever gets us pissed.

yes, every male can aim and work a lever action rifle. infact I scored 98% on the 200m range with my SA80 in Territorial Army cadets.

this being said, guns are for girlies.

sure, i know you guys need guns to stop the bad guys who all have guns....yadda yadda....

and i resent the remark about us brit 'meekly laying down and being bitten by zombies'

I have yet to find a 'real' Brittish man who would meekly let you steal apples from his garden, let alone bite you to an un-dead state.

anyhow, its a good film. the guys bird is rather tasty too :D

Post by: Slash27 on January 02, 2005, 09:38:44 AM: This movie really shows the superiority of the British society over the American. While the US Government and military are the first things to fail in America, leaving it up to people like Lazs to clean up the streets, in Britain the Army is actually competent enough to deal with the situation. Also while Americans would destroy all the zombies (or be destroyed by them), the British domesticate them and turn them into a workforce. Good show chaps!

You would come to the same conclusion after watching a sweetheart commercial.:rolleyes:

Great movie btw:aok

Post by: lazs2 on January 02, 2005, 10:14:28 AM: mechanic... I am sure that you are young and in good shape and probly don't even need one of them cricket paddles to defend yourself... heck... a criminal or two might not be able to take you in a fair fight.... How bout your mom? your grandpa? that guy in the wheelchair down the street? How bout that woman running the convienence store?

schotzie... I seen how the british military acted in 28 days..

I immediately thought of Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, etc...

What this movie really shows is the folly of using LP's to combat the living dead!

Post by: Torque on January 07, 2005, 01:12:58 AM: With all the hype i thought it would of been better than it was, some parts were good like the antics of Shaun's roomate. I'd give it a 7.

Evil Dead was best comedy-horror evar, i luv that movie.
