2. A few nights ago I saw “Zombieland”. To say that I am burned out on zombies is an understatement. In fact, it’s getting to the point that Hollywood should consider making a movie titled, “Zombies vs. Vampires” since apparently these are the only monsters that are worth making movies about.

So it’s to “Zombieland’s” credit that despite my bias, I still enjoyed this movie thoroughly. It was funny and engaging which of course makes it “fungaging”. Jesse Eisenberg is very funny in the movie playing a geek who’s social alienation and attention to detail has helped him survive the zombie apocalypse. Woody Harrelson is delightfully crazy, which apparently is just Woody being Woody and not a character choice.

Whatever. It’s funny. See it. FOTIs.

    Once you accept the fact that Jesse Eisenberg is honestly just trying to do his best Michael Cera impersonation, this movie is great fun.

    I don’t think it’s Hollywood’s fault that zombies are played out, that’s the culture this time. What with all the zombie flash mobs, and zombie books (Surviving World War Z, Zombie Pride & Prejudice, etc.) and zombie bars, it’s the Internet that’s pushed the meme so over the top.

    If anything, Hollywood will just be driving this one into the ground for the next couple of years, so if you’re tired of it now… be prepared to hate every October for the foreseeable future.

    -Tom, who admits that you could argue that 28 Days and Shaun of the Dead started it, but those weren’t Hollywood movies.

    You might also have to blame politics for the zombie wave:
