Zombies. People love them.
Agreed on that one.
I like both versions but the 1978 version is amazing.
I tried watching the Day of the Dead remake. I turned it off it was so terrible.
Another huge disappointment was land of the dead. (i think that was the name) Very cheesy, especially when they tried to show that the "zombies" were capable of learning and reasoning and using guns and stuff. That's just like anti-zombie lol.
I lost my copy of dawn of the dead so until I go out and buy another one I can't watch it Its been about 5 years or so since the last time I saw it too. The down with the sickness cover in the new one was AWESOME lol!
Never saw Diary of the Dead, will have to look into it. The idea of a smart zombie just goes against everything that is traditional zombie lore for me. The whole concept is everything in the brain shuts down except for the need to feed essentially, which would make learning impossible with that part of the brain shut down. Of course we are talking about zombies which is something that is already made up so I guess there are no real rules about it lol. I completely agree about the initial outbreak thing but not a few years down the road. I would love to see a movie like that! Or maybe a series that covers it all
I think the coming of the smart zombies is in part due to the fact a lot of people are already zombies, only looking to "wake up" from the nightmare of their realities.
That's actually a really good point. I have never actually looked deeper into any of the zombie movies for reasoning like that, but I really like your take on it. I have to agree with you about the whole everyone already being zombies as it is. I have often said that a lot of people now days are nothing more than mindless drones going through the motions of a life.
I think we all feel that way sometimes. When you consider the differences are minimal compared to the similarities it really becomes a matter of perception that keeps you from becoming one of the mindless masses.
The difference is in knowing. Those who mindlessly fill the void versus those who pay attention and still fill the void.
This kinda goes along the lines of why I'm not a fan of higher education institutes. Instead of teaching people to be innovative and think outside of the box, most colleges ruin that creativity by teaching the students that this is the only right way to do something. A good example is a computer class that I almost failed because I was using short cuts. It was for simple microsoft word and part of the test asked you to copy and paste something so I hit ctrl c and ctrl v. It was marked wrong because they wanted you to do it the "right way" even though both ways were right. By the time you get out 4 years later, you have no clue how to handle something out of the ordinary. They are pretty much teaching people on a mass level to be mindless drones that are not capable of any form of innovation. Its really sad to see all of these great minds going to waste
I don't disagree. I think that's been the problem with most forms of higher education for some time.
It is despite the norm that progress is made it seems.
Thinking outside the box and innovative ideas should be encouraged and sadly it seems that its not
