The running was the one let down from Dead Set, otherwise it would have perhaps been the most original piece of social commentary coming out of the horror genre since George Romero's original Dawn of the Dead.<br /><br />LukeAn Activist Presidenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917303696041517414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-16637476648239575502009-08-11T21:59:52.175+00:002009-08-11T21:59:52.175+00:00Neil: yeah I remember that.

Better than brains than the b... anyway,<br /><br />AnActivistP: technically speaking he's not a zombie, but then very few zombies are as, I believe it would require voodoo and the like and the reanimated would have very specific desires (not brains).<br /><br />28 weeks is essentially a film where they asked themselves 'how could zombies be real? what would they actually be like?' hence the running.<br /><br />I saw that debate and it was fascinating. My main problem with dead set, which was good, was that the zombies were essentially from 28 weeks - there was no new imagining there, which was disappointing coming from Broker who is of course a legend.Jim Jeppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410387006098326671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-59689856895917558602009-08-11T19:18:14.582+00:002009-08-11T19:18:14.582+00:00There's a nice dig at '28 Days Later' ...There's a nice dig at '28 Days Later' in 'Shaun of the Dead' with a news reader in the background saying something like "Reports that the outbreak was caused by infected monkey brains have been described as b..." :-)thermalsatsumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05779925171712284416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-1355827115085722782009-08-11T19:15:41.989+00:002009-08-11T19:15:41.989+00:00Is Robert Carlye really a zombie in 28 Weeks Later...Is Robert Carlye really a zombie in 28 Weeks Later? I believe the PC term is 'infected.' He's not really dead as such, just infected with the RAGE virus. Simon Pegg wrote a very good article after Dead Set was shown on Channel Four. He wrote something along the lines that Dead Set would have been the greatest zombie flick ever made if the zombies didn't run, he was under the impression that in 28 Days/Weeks Later they are infected, but still very much alive.<br /><br />I think we need a debate on what constitutes a zombie at Autumn Conference. Is there a procedure for an emergency fringe?<br /><br />LukeAn Activist Presidenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917303696041517414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-86764258764630238412009-08-09T22:00:20.526+00:002009-08-09T22:00:20.526+00:00Two suggestions there to get me in trouble - hehe ...Two suggestions there to get me in trouble - hehe - keep 'um coming!Jim Jeppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410387006098326671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-42587078128299735502009-08-09T20:49:10.615+00:002009-08-09T20:49:10.615+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Natalie Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532656474135299433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-90261270295771688742009-08-09T20:31:22.702+00:002009-08-09T20:31:22.702+00:00Top Five Tories, please.Top Five Tories, please.weggishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651722712995395981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-91981040511231800062009-08-09T18:32:18.619+00:002009-08-09T18:32:18.619+00:00I'd like to know your Top Five Blogs (politica...I'd like to know your Top Five Blogs (political or otherwise), please and thankyou ...thermalsatsumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05779925171712284416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30598467.post-21846270545661491582009-08-08T23:03:44.901+00:002009-08-08T23:03:44.901+00:00That's really freaky, my girlfriend bought Pri...That's really freaky, my girlfriend bought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies this afternoon!!!Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232646707301868540noreply@blogger.com
