how come zombies don't each other?

[TurdBerglar]

why?

[jackrock]

eat?

Zombie-Cannibalism.

[QueenAdrock]

I thought that zombies couldn't eat other zombie flesh because it's toxic to them.

[Miho Mingu]

Because it's spoiled human meat, silly Shon. Go enroll in Zombies 101. It's all in there.

[drizl]

zombies dont have any meat left right? or are they preserved? sodium benzoate

I wish more people were as passionate as you....I mean I keep trying to raise awareness but some days it feels like a lost cause

[Miho Mingu]

Yeah but, you wouldn't want to be the hero in Resident Evil 4. Those zombies were on speed, and seriously, what zombies. They were possessed natives.

[zorra_chiflada]

i've got a cricket bat, some large knives, a saw, and lots of sharp objects and heavy objects. it's gonna be cool. i'm going to save the world.

[Miho Mingu]

If Tasmania became infested with zombies, we could just nuke it to death. Sorry, to all Tasmanians.

[Miho Mingu]

All two of you.

[zorra_chiflada]

you'll need tasmania some day

The Zombie Survival Guide is actually a funny book.
But it's title might just be even more complicated...:rolleyes:

[skra75]

They do eat each other.
I think they need to be very hungry and desperate, like in the retake of "Dawn of the Dead".

I think it defies the code of the zombie, they only crave fresh meat and want to consume the living, they aren't attracted to the dead. Perhaps just the freshly dead. Once they become a zombie, they kinda fall off the radar.

Side note, I just read that prinicpal photography/preproduction has started on the remake of the classic "Day of the Dead". They'll probably fuck it up.

[ericlee]

possibly because zombie blood isn't as fresh as a non undead person.

They want fresh meat and fresh brains and it's something a zombie lacks.

[drizl]

i fed 8 bucks into the jukebox at the bar last night to hear the entire astrocreep 2000 album from start to end. we were rockin

[miss soul fire]

Zombies don't eat each other because they are best buddies!

[Echewta]

Zombies have morals.

[steve-onpoint]

Zombies have faith.

[cosmo105]

Zombies have taste.

[Bob]

like how at a party, nobody hits on the fat girl unless there's nobody else left

[skra75]

hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahah

[steve-onpoint]

Cos it's the time of the season for luuuuh-veeeeeng.

[Yeti]

The Galloping Gourmet isn't a zombie, just really really English.

I own that book, it's awesome.

As far as this topic, skra is on point.

[The Notorious LOL]

most zombie flicks are played out and stupid and everyone jocks them.


SCARY SLOW ZOMBIES!

[beastieangel01]

it's not so much about being scary.

it's commentary on social and political climate, really.

I love it.

[The Notorious LOL]

elaborate on that a bit.

[skra75]

she tried to explain it once to me.
I think, but I was a little tipsy at the time.

[Yeti]

SCARY SLOW ZOMBIES!

Not in 28 Days Later.

[beastieangel01]

mainly Romero's films is what I am talking about. It's his soapbox.

Case in point: Night of the Living Dead. Especially.

I think this description of Romeros films describes it better than I can;

Each film is laden with social commentary ranging from racism to consumerism. The films are not produced as direct follow-ups from one another. The films' only continuation is the epidemic of the living dead, the situation advancing with each film, but with different characters and even moving the time ahead from the last to the time in which they were filmed despite the world's progression being the only interlocking aspect of the series. They are different stories telling how different people react to the same phenomonen ranging from citizens to cops to army officials and back again. There are no real happy endings to the films as each takes places in a world that has gotten worse since the last time we saw it, the number of zombies ever increasing and the fate of the small amount of the remaining living always in the balance.

[skra75]

28 days later aren't really zombies, they're infected people.
I only consider re-animated dead people to be zombies.

[HOTWIFE]

Zombies are my favorite drinks at chinese restaurants. I don't know why they don't eat each other.

[The Notorious LOL]

I like They Live!


That had a pretty straight forward political message in it.

[beastieangel01]

yeah.

my personal favorite though is Night of the Living Dead.

Everything about it: from the way people reacted to the situation, to the ones that were the most sensible in the situation. The lead being a black man at the time was daring for it's time, and the commentary at the films closing where he's the only survivor and ends up shot in the head. The quick flashes of those photos reminiscent of the Vietnam war photos at the time... yeah.

Yeah thats what ive been dreaming of for a very long time...Just me and my chainsaw and an old rusty axe and a zombie army to go nutz in....uhhhhh

[ET]

I love it.

Dawn of the Dead
Mall = Consumerist Society
Zombies = blue collar workers
SWAT Team members = Gun culture
Fear embedded in everyday life/Anyone could become a zombie/There are 'nobodies' everywhere

Blah de blah.

[jackrock]

Yeah thats what ive been dreaming of for a very long time...Just me and my chainsaw and an old rusty axe and a zombie army to go nutz in....uhhhhh
I seriously honestly feel that running around town with a 12 gauge, blasting heads of zombies would be fun.

[skra75]

i'm totally prepared for a zombie attack. i'm kinda have wishing it would happen. i have all the weapons i need. i'm ready. BRING IT ON YOU UNDEAD FUCKS

true. one of these days I'm gonna get a kalashnikov for this reason. duct tape two banana clips together. it's fun as hell to shoot them, I imagine it would be a whole additional level of joy blowing the skull caps off zombies.

I've never made the connection between consumerism and cannibalism, but okay.

[Bitchamachacha]

Crystal is right on the money about zombies. ;)


And zombies like their meat like they like their hip hop:

Fresh!





Duh.

[adam_f]

Overanalyzing zombie movies is like overanalyzing why that brick hurts when thrown at my face.

[beastieangel01]

it's not at all overanalyzing. If you pay attention, you would know. Also if you really doubt it just read about the director or interviews with him. If that's not clear enough for you, I'll throw a brick at your face :)

p.s. hi, look at ET's post.

Dawn of the Dead
Mall = Consumerist Society
(by the way this is referencing the old Dawn of the Dead, as in Romero. Just look up Romero, really).

[Echewta]

Because the Tacobell drivethru is open 24 hours, holla!

Yeah, yeah, I know all about the supposed social commentary. You forget, I had a family member in the original Dawn. I know what the mall represents and the actions and subsequent consequences mean. I'm not that naieve when it comes to Romero movies.

Entertainment. That's what matters.

[beastieangel01]

it entertains me as well. I just like it especially because the satire, which is the majority of the point.

[ET]

I disagree only in the sense that exploding zombie heads entertain me slightly more than political and social satire. :cool:

You smart people make me furious.

[beastieangel01]

yeah see I like it when I get to make the zombies heads explode. Like in Resident Evil when you aim the magnum or shotgun at their head. They go KABOOM then the body keeps walking for a few seconds before it falls over.

heeheeheehee

Except when you get those zombies that after you blow their head off, another snake-like thing pops out and tries to tear your head off. First time that happened I nearly shit myself.

ahahaha :cool:

The Cerberus always drove me nuts. What really scared me though, of all things, was the sudden break in of crows on the second floor of the police department on RE 2.

[Bob]

resident evil 4's zombies are awesome (they're not technically zombies, i'm aware, but they're as much zombies as any of the ones in the other RE games; people turned into violent drones by a biological thing), because not only are they zombies, they're zombies who HATE AMERICA. you can mass murder zombies and do your civic duty at the same time, it's great

Holy shit, I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same way. Just like in RE 4 when I broke open a box and a snake popped out and bit me.

[beastieangel01]

Te voy a romper en pedazos!

YA KNOW. It was dead quiet on that floor, which should have been a sign. But I had the volume way up and I almost pissed myself when they came crashing through the windows. good god.
