# I rilly don't get zombie flicks
They're the rubbishest of baddies - defence is 'Walk away quickly from them.'

Obviously 28 days later made them a bit better, but they're still pretty rubbish.

# Nah, you can only walk so much
then you need to sleep, eat, toilet. They can just keep on coming at you in larger numbers... They'll get you eventually.

/edit : 28 days later aren't zombies....

# 28 days later are zombies. come on - play clever.
And, with the use of one car and a full tank of petrol, you can get out of the way of zombies.

# Not really.
I would say that it is a zombie film just without the Zombies. Hence why I have included the film in my blog. (Well, 28 months later anyway).

Same goes for Evil Dead. Not zombies.

# Pah, it's all good.
Everyone thinks one way or the other.

# I watched Doomsday
on blu ray the other day.

It did not make it any better ;)

# the real horror of zombies is that there's always more of them
the don't sleep, ever. you can walk quickly away but they'll still follow you. even if you cross to an island they'll follow. zombies are scary because you can't kill all of them.

read World War Z. best portrayal of real life zombie apocalypse ever.

and fast zombies are shit.

# Everything you just said is 100% correct.
(Except I'm ashamed to say I've not read that book yet.)

# no way? its bloody ace.

# real life zombie apocalypse? Hahahahahaha
So zombies can swim?
(I helped save b3ta! Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Tue 17 Feb 2009, 16:20, archived)
# Hell yeah.
Zombie Lake, Shockwaves, Land of the Dead to name just 3 films.

# So ... how come you never see them driving, or flying planes?
Zombie banger racing or something? Zombie Ultimate Fighting Challenge. Zombie Olympics?

How come zombies don't eat other zombies?

How come ...

Oh it's just too silly for me, I'm sorry.

I far prefer computers that mess with your sense of reality then break, and you don't know whats real or not, and so when you find yourself killing someone don't know whether to worry about being done for murder or not.

# part the first: zombies retain basic motor functions and instincts
swimming is instinct, driving isn't.

part the second, zombies eat living flesh, perhaps they seek living flesh because it passes the contagion. viruses only exist to self perpetuate like the rest of us.

part the third: yeah those movies are cool too. check out cypher

# Hmmm.
Seems vere silly.

All one would really need is to find a military base to live on, then. Basic motor functions don't include how to get over an anti-climb fence.

# c'mon... broaden your horizons here.
after all, the premise for the Nolan Batman movies is "what if batman was real"

# Not really.
It's still just fantasy. Or at least - thats how I took it.

# of course :)
i just like pretending it could be true. life's more exciting that way

# They don't need to swim,
they're dead so they can just walk.

# So all one need do is cross a relatively deep, fast-flowing stream or river then
And one's home free.

# running zombies are pants
although Dance of the dead has an interesting take on it.

The fresher the corpse the quicker it moves.

# i've posited this in debates with friends but i eventually decided i didn't like it
if they keep decaying then all you have to do is just wait them out.
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Tue 17 Feb 2009, 16:20, archived)
# Provided you can get somewhere safe to wait it out,
and have supplies and stuff then you're probably right. But nobody ever gets to that situation in the movies.

# well it wouldn't make a great movie if they did would it :)
land of the dead is set long enough after the original outbreak that you'd expect the majority to be decayed beyond threat.

though i don't consider that movie Romero canon. as they decay they get smarter... hmm..
