Just noticed a zombie in "Zombie Apocalypse" brushing back her hair as she shuffled along.  Just got to love a walker concerned about her appearance.

eta:  Watching "Rise of the Zombies" on Syfy.  Now we know what happens to washed up TV and movie actors. They become zombies.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I had to give up 15 min into it.

It's so bad, so clichéd, it's almost comedic.

But unlike other cliched, b-level zombie films whose shenanigans are witty and humorous, it's shenanigans are just sad and cruel. Evil shenanigans! :rofl:

I did finally give up on the silly thing.  It got to be too much.
"Dawn of the Dead" is running now.  I've seen that one a bunch, so giving it a pass this time.

Nope.

Still not enough green, still not enough yellow.

I really think you could divide that thing into three lengthwise "tracks."

Top track would be entirely green.

Middle track would be mostly yellow broken by zones of grey.

The bottom track would be the remaining colors.

well, who did not see the ambush of the nat guard unit coming from a mile away, Michonne seems like the smartest character yet.

I won't say I saw it coming but that governor guy raised my hackles ..... not returning the weapons was a "clue"...
I don't think even Michonne has guessed the NG was ambushed.  Not that she isn't smart, she is, but she does seem to have a chip on her shoulder.

Anyone notice that the Governor shot that runner soldier with an M4 that... didn't have rear sights?

Yes. And the Governor's aquarium freaked me out a little.

I think any APSer that was watching the show noticed.

Or should have.  ;)

Is it bad I rewound just to see if it had a rear flip down?

BTW I'm betting that was a real low end off the shelf setup.

Someone needs to kick the firearms advisor in the jimmy.

The fact that anyone used a sight in Hollywood at all should be surprising....

;)  Yes, in fact I did.  I've seen that before on those cheapo Sy Fy movies.  It makes me think "AIRSOFT!!!!"

Oh did anyone catch the Governor's conversation with the geeky science guy?  He did say that the dead are decaying, just at a slower rate then the living.

I thought he said starving.  Also read it in terms of "without food", not implying they were starving at that moment in time.
