Oh, me too. ♥

[viridescence]

Whee! Something fun to take my mind off of the LJ Strikethrough2007 nightmare! You'll find your f-list FULL of it when you check. It's a mess.

♥

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I sort of managed to miss all of that, apparently... I need to go back and see what's going on in detail. Coffeejunkii got me up to date on the basics.

You made my day that much brighter, lovie! :)

True story though, what I put in the zombie movie category even though I never saw one EVER in my LIFE. (all I know about zombies comes from scooby doo and half blood prince) haha!

Was walking down the street here with themostepotente, tehlils, sappybeaver a couple years ago - and this PACK of zombies is lurching along the sidewalk. As they passed, one accidentally bumped into me and me, being a paranoid person who doesn't like unexpected things and was already jumpy because was in city (I tend to stay in) - thwapped him.

Yep, I thwapped a zombie.

He apologised sheepishly and lunged away.

That was so random and fun.

You know, I can't wait to see what they do with the Inferi in HBP. That has the potential to be a really scary segment.

Or they could screw it up royally. *rolls eyes* ^___^

Hahaha, that's a CRAZY story! *cackles* Was there any discernible reason why they were dressed as zombies?

At least you got a nice zombie. ^_~

What have you been smoking?

Heh, this quiz is in honor of the release of 28 Weeks Later, which happens to be the sequel to my favorite movie ever, 28 Days Later. I can't recommend Days enough. It's so gritty and deep.

I was actually thinking about the different manifestations of zombies and zombie theory in horror films, and how the theory has morphed over the decades (I took a lot of classes in college on Horror Theory. A fascinating subject!). I was initially going to write something up on that genre morphology and the differences between various species of zombie in film, and then I got to thinking that I could use the info to make a fun quiz for everyone. *snickers*

YAY! The zombie poll is up :-D! And YAY for finishing your fic for hd_holidays!

Since I wasn't ask the very last question when I took it, I'll answer it here for fun. My favorite zombie movie..well I don't have a specific one since I enjoy all zombie movies that I've seen so far and it's really hard to choose, so I'll choose the top two which are Night of the Living Dead and Shaun of the Dead. The first changed zombie movie history and the second made parody of all of those movies and both are just great movies. ^_^

I still say that there needs to be a zombie musical with some dancing zombie penguins in it :-P

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

You picked two luvverly films. *cracks up* Night of the Living Dead remains one of the scariest movies ever, in my opinion. Not so much in the blood-and-gore-scary or even the jump-scary. But the ideas and themes in it... *shudders* Definitely keeps you up at night.

And Shaun... Oh, Shaun, how do I love thee? ♥

And I agree: Zombie Penguins, FULL SPEED AHEAD!

[bluelittlepig.livejournal.com]

I think that's what so great and fascinating about zombie films. There are underlying ideas and themes beneath the gore of it. They are able to relate current situation and themes that are occurring in the world within it while scaring audience (or making them laugh).

And on a different note, every time I see "SUPER RU!!!" in your words of wisdom, it makes me sing in my head "It's super ru, supper ru, it's super ru!!!" with fanfare and trumpet. It inevitably makes me think of a kangaroo and then Roo, the baby kangaroo in Winnie the Pooh. :-P

Finished the hd_holidays fic? Whee! finally good news!

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I sort of missed lj exploding... Seems like everyone in the fandom needs a bit of a pick-me-up!

It is nice to see that the fandom can come together over something, though, regardless of ship-wars and the like. ^_^ Makes my little heart happy.

[snottygrrl.livejournal.com]

i love you for putting this up. my flist is so depressing these last few days and it's nice to just think about zombies. [*snuggles*]

[rurounihime.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I kind of wasn't checking my f-list when lj esplodededed. I will probably go back and find out what happened in detail over the next few days...

I think you should definitely watch Shaun of the Dead. But I also think you need to watch Night of the Living Dead and the original Dawn of the Dead before you watch Shaun, because Shaun is a parody of those two in many ways, and the jokes will be much funnier if you are familiar with zombie theory of the 60s and 70s. ^__^ I could go on for hours about this...

[red-rahl.livejournal.com]

Duuuude! I totally hear you on the zombies. Funny thing is, I can't really watch most of the films because they're so gory and I'll have horrible zombie nightmares for a long while. (Not that I don't have them occasionally without the movies...)

I still maintain that you gotta read WWZ because it's damn awesome, even if you don't subscribe much to the idea of some kind of zombie virus/infection. Dude, I couldn't look at a crowded freeway in quite the same way ever again.

But one zombie movie I do love (well, besides Shaun of the Dead) is the original Dawn of the Dead. Got the special edition dvd boxset of that one and the director's cut (I think that was what it was) was seriously the best of the lot (which included several different versions). I still haven't watched 28 Days Later...and I think it'd scare mehhhhh! *clings*

[fireelemental79.livejournal.com]

Send me the pictures. I'll do them. I've got nothing else better to do ;-).

I need to reup my subscription, it's going down.

I missssssss YOU!!!!! ~is whiney because of surgery, will whine until you arrive, is continuing to whine~

:-( Anyway, my face hurts. So talk to me.
