The first of many...

Posts about this weekend!

The first thing i would like to discuss is the amazing amount of zombie movies out there!  Us girls decided to spend our day watching zombie movies in honor of halloween soon being upon us.  We went to the local video store and just on a whim asked the awesome video guy to recommend some zombie vids for us.  He looks at us and responds, "Let me take you to the zombie movie section."  awesome.  He runs us through 10-15 movies giving us brief synapsis.  And then he comes to Lucio Filci's "Zombie."  (apparently, for those of you who are future zombie enthusiasts, Italian zombie films are superior to all others)  He leans in and tells it is italian and superior.  we shrug.  He mentions there is a fight scene between a zombie and a shark.  SOLD!!  We end up renting that one, and this french zombie film called "they came back."  Its not meant to be scary at all, it's more about the the economic struggles of trying to reintegrate the zombies into society after their jobs have already been filled.  It was slightly pretentious, but humorous when consumed with ice cold beer.   Any way, who cares, here is a zombie fighting a shark

 



Also, in case you would like to read about "They came Back" although if anything its more of a romantic tale of the love that humans and zombies can share, while exploring the difficulty of adjusting to being alive after being dead.....

seriously?

Lets get back to zombie vs. shark.......

Who do you think won this battle?  the zombie gets a good chunk of the sharks neck, but the shark also takes off the zombie's arm.  But the zombie can't feel any pain, nor does he care about his arm.  And, how much pain do sharks feel?  And most importantly, is the shark going to become a zombie shark?  these are questions i need answers to!  Why don't we use our new found prosperity (read=bailout) To study the interactions between zombies and sharks?  why the hostility?
Or, as i like to hypothesize, the the shark and zombie are a metaphor for life, zombie, eating shark, eating zombie.....the ying and the yang......its all about equality and harmony when it comes down to it.  Italian zombie films are freaking awesome.  Also, check out this blog Rachel sent by a fellow shark zombie enthusiast.  I think i found a soul mate!
