If you haven’t seen the original Of the Dead movies then you’re officially sacked as NTGF’s resident zombie expert. Next time the apocalypse comes, we’ll fight the forces of darkness on our own.

By the way, Shannon, if you’re reading this — how do you like the links?

Subtle. To prevent me using another footnote ploy, you’ve linked them up. You think that will stop me? It won’t. I’ll get you when you least expect it: while you’re reading a grapefruit article. Which is when you would expect it. So watch out!

I’m terrified. I won’t be able to browse easy again.

Yes, I’m very pleased with the links, Tom. Thank you very much. I shall start reading grapefruits articles again now that this controversy has been cleared up.

It’s been a divisive time for all of us, but I feel now we can move past our differences, and into a time of healing.

Not me. I’m still habouring guilt and resentment. I’ll squash them down into ball of hatred and save it to use later.

Always a handy thing to have in stock, the good old ball of hatred. Never know when one will be useful.

Ah, what are you talking about?
What is wrong with you people in trying to find sense in a horror / zombie movie? Why not just go for some senseless fighting?
And the guy used the chainsaw to chop off the zombies, when driving over a speed bump (or zombie) he was shaken and thrown around the truck. Obviously he forgot to switch off the chainsaw.
And shame on you for the lack of the originals, at least I saw one of them. Trick is, the remake isn’t meant to be fun, really. Shawn of the dead however. hehe hehe

Actually, I think you’re the first person to even talk about the film in these comments, Hayko!
I certainly won’t be seeing it. Senseless fighting just doesn’t do it for me.

This conversation was going fine until you turned up Hayko. I guess the chainsaw in the truck bit does make sense. It just caught me by surprise that bit. I wouldn’t let someone so careless in my truck. And I do like senseless fighting. I’ve seen Brain Dead
If you only watch one zombie movie this year Tom, watch Shawn of the Dead.

That was a generic approach. Why watch Terminator 3? Certainly not for the intense character development or the new insightful interpersonal (-machinable) conflict resolution (i.e. man vs machine).
Oh so lovely to bash a horror movie for doing what its genre asks of it.

Who’s bashing? I wouldn’t watch Terminator 3. If I criticise something that’s an implicit part of the genre, then I guess I’m criticising the genre.

Your loss, not to watch T3. ;)
What’s wrong with the genre?
PS: I like what you’ve done with the comments form. =)

Are we going around in circles? :)
I don’t like senseless fighting.
That’s what the genre asks of it.
So, I don’t like the genre for that reason.
The idea of watching a film where a bunch of mindless zombies run rampage and some dumbish humans react doesn’t appeal. I like protagonists and plans.

I think Hayko’s argument is with me. I say I like the genre but complain when it doesn’t make sense.
I like protagonists and plans and zombies.
