Prediction: Nobody will want to.

Not that I dislike the idea.

Worth a try.

It's not that I don't want to make seperate threads... I just don't think it's worth it.

Last movie I saw:
Toy Soldiers. 6/10
It was a weird combo. It felt like a kids movie (like the Goonies), except for all the killing and sexually loaded chats.

I started watching Dogma, but I quickly discovered it was about angels and demons on earth. No thank you, me don't like.

Doublepost incoming!

The Pelican Brief. 7/10. Decent Grisham adaptation. Julia Roberts isn't such a good actress, is she? And I never really understood the obsession with her looks.

Labyrinth. 7/10. A bit creepy, somehow.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (2nd watch). 8/10. Acting is great, the story is good, the endig is nice.

Abre Los Ojos (2nd watch; later remade as Vanilla Sky). 9/10. Great concept, executed very well.

Be sure to focus your paper on how to specifically prevent a zombie pandemic.

Wasn't a huge fan of the movie.
Actually haven't been a fan of many of Smith's recent movies.
By any chance, is there any book comparison in the class?

And how would you go about preventing the spread of zombies?

Typhoid · 02-03-2009, 06:21 PM

I am in no way, shape or form eligible to decide how to prevent zombies.
One would have to assume you'd have to identify what is causing the spread though - be it exposure, chemical reaction, genetics, or a bite/scratch of some kind.

Then you would have to determine the average speed the zombies travel at, and the cognitive skills they posses as well as dexterity levels. Are they capable of speech, reason, thought, any general forms of rationalization?

Then you would have to determine the best way to get rid of the infestation, whether it be to exterminate all living zombies, or to come up with some sort of anti-virus to prevent further spread, as well as exterminating all zombies. You would have to find if the strain is passable onto animals as well - and if so - what animals/insects are able to be infected, and what happens when such happens.

Do these zombies sleep, do they avoid daylight? Can they swim? Do they climb? All of these are reasonable and valid questions you would need to solve before you even figure out where to begin on a zombie prevention plan.

well we had to write the paper on how each of us would have went about preventing the spread of infection, using techniques that we learned, like PPE's, Personal Protection Equipment (i think? i don't pay much attention, too boring of a class) and things along those lines.

and, it was the second time that i had saw the movie, but i thoroughly enjoyed it, even the second time around. i actually paid close attention to what exactly was going on in the movie, and i loved the different twists and turns in it, it made it stand out.

Tried watching the live action Death Note movie. Couldn't get all the way through it.

Bond · 02-04-2009, 12:06 AM

I strongly urge everyone to post in the new Movies & TV forum.

Why not move this thread there?

Angrist · 02-04-2009, 10:23 AM

There are some cool online tests to see how big the chance is you'd survive a zombie outbreak.

Teuthida · 02-04-2009, 08:38 PM

Let the Right One In

Very very good. It's a Swedish romantic horror film about a 12 year old boy who befriends a vampire.

Won a crapload of awards if that's the sort of thing that matters to you. There's going to be remake by the Cloverfield director but will be adapted from the book instead of copying the movie.

It gets the Teuthida seal of approval.

Ah, this was recommended by my brother and I really want to see it. Unfortuantely I don't think it's playing anywhere near; unless I count NYC as near, but I don't...
