Nor is this guy once he starts turning human, for that matter, he's clearly not particularly decomposed even in the period during which he's still a zombie.canadamus_prime said:
I mean yeah, it's still all sorts of creepy, but as a satire, it's just pointing out how creepy the twilightesque stuff is when you really break it down and think about it.
It kinda reminds me of "Zombie Hunters" webcomic
With their healthy-infected dynamic and with potential to heal full zombies
Really? I have seen plenty of times that non-lethal violence brings attention of the girl.
Simplest scenario- boy A gets beaten by boy B, then girl A ditches the boy A in favor of boy B.
I would like to say it is rare, but sadly it isn't

Because nothing like that ever happened in real life?Caramel Frappe said:

1) I don't get the Entourage hate. It was a pretty entertaining show with great laugh out loud moments(especially in the later seasons). Jeremy Piven's Ari Gold and the Johnny Drama alone are more than enough reasons to watch it. Then there's the Aquaman season. And Emanuelle Chriqui!
2)Warm Bodies sounds like a charming movie. A rom-com with zombies looks like something both me and my gf can enjoy.
3)I dig the Justice League line-up. Everybody knows who Batman is, Superman's getting rebooted and will be re-established, the Green Lantern film was kinda bad but made people aware of him and it shouldn't take long to explain the concept of a space cop to audiences in the JL movie.As for Flash and Wonder Woman, it would be pretty easy to introduce one of them as our point of view character (kinda like Wolverine in the first X-Men) and an origin movie would not be necessary. In the right hands, the film could work really well.

Bob, Zulu? I get your point, but anybody who hasn't seen that movie and now sees the its poster associated with a zombie movie, but in an imperialistic racist tone, will get the wrong impression about it. Being made when it was made, in the country where it was made, about a sensitive issue, I think that Zulu was a superb movie and the producers took great pain and effort to make it as race-less as you could get. It's a war movie unlike any other even by today's standards, a "Helm's Deep" where you actually fear and respect the orcs. I've seen it a long time ago but it made me see the real Zulus as something else than just idiots with spears and skirts. If it did have a fault it was to make the Brits too endearing. I think the movie was less about protecting civilization from the "Savage man" (which granted, is how people saw things back in 188x) and more about the Brits coming to terms with loosing their empire and trying to win face by saying "we were wrong anyway, in a National Geographic modern way".
Bob hates douche-based shows because he was bullied, so he has a butt-hurt vendetta about them. What's wrong with this is that Entourage does the douche thing but is sincere about it as well, the main rising-star character is actually a really good guy and an honourable man of principle, his friends are all leeches and assholes and that's why it's funny. That being said I've only seen like three episodes, so maybe I shouldn't act like I know all about it.Sean951 said:
The whole "eats brains for the memory's" was used in the awesome Vertigo comic iZombie.MovieBob said:

Indeed I am; Cracked thought my last name was too long. And who, pray tell, are you?MrGalactus said:
And as for Martian Manhunter, I'm disappointed too. On the other hand, Doctor Strange is getting a movie [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1211837/?ref_=sr_1], so I have hopes the Manhunter may yet see the silver screen.
STRANGE MOVIE? Cooooooooool. Marvel is on a roll. Maybe they'll tease it at the end of Iron Man 3. Big twist: The Mandarin is really Dormammu...or something.Thunderous Cacophony said:
On Cracked, and pretty much every website except this one, I'm THEJORRRG. I comment on most articles, but not til a day or so after they've been out.
I saw this just today...Didn't even comment on the romeo and juliet thing? or was it too obvious?
Pretty good movie for a romance/horror/drama, there were a few things made made no sense to me but nothing that jepardises the plot.

Just saw it today, I enjoyed it. Also while I'm completely sick of this phrase applied to everything, it works here: "Still a better romance than Twilight" (much better actually).
There's too much of a knee jerk reaction to this movie whether it be over the ridiculousness of a zombie romance, or the fact that they didn't get the zombie rules right. It's already agreed upon that there's different kinds of zombies - virus, radiation, supernatural, slow, fast, etc. so there's no problem with the idea that these zombies being curable by love. You just kind of have to buy into it, and I mean, as geeks/nerds/gamers/etc. we buy into a lot of crazy shit already anyway.

But the idea of the "satire" is that they're in the same class of "undead," so it's just pointing out the grossness of it by saying "yeah, that vampire may be good looking, but it's still the same thing as having hots for this zombie."canadamus_prime said:
i just need to know something, if there are any Norwegian escapists here who know if, when or where in Norway this movie is showing or when, could you please tell me? Google isn't much help and filmweb[footnote]the Norwegian film database for all movies and screenings[/footnote] aren't giving me any information either.
i love it. i wanted to see this since i first heard about twilight. zombies inlove (that sounded like a movie that would only run in the Simpsons universe). i wanna see it for the same reason i wanted to see iron sky and how framed roger rabbit. the concept is just so rediculus that it must have entertainment value.........right?
Entourage? did we run out of comic books to make movies of already ?

I think you got it down pretty good there. I've seen a few episodes. It's a watchable show, I'm not to sure what Bob is going crazy about here. It's a very unoffensive pseudo-drama about famous people.TheSchaef said:
