Omega

That Black Mirror episode was interesting. Although I couldn’t do it on my main device. I had to boot it up on my Playstation.

Also, it was a bit awkward to go through all of the different endings with someone less patient than I am.

People in zombie movies and shows that don’t know what zombies are. I know it’s so they can use cool descriptions like “the infected” or “walkers” or “the dead”. The zombie word sounds kinda silly. But I still don’t like it.

Van Helsing did the mirror thing which was cool. I think Dracula Dead and Loving It did too.

Side thought. I loved in From Dusk Til Dawn when they’re trying to think of all the folklore that they could remember. Like whether silver was supposed to hurt vampires too or just werewolves.

Another side thought, I love when they know about the monsters like in Shaun of the Dead. It always bothers me when it’s an alternate universe that’s never heard of Zombies before.

It’s been a minute, but I thought the audio logs showed that it was just people fucking each other over and doing morally shitty things WAY before everyone went crazy.

Also, the lack of regulation allowed the drugs to be created and allowed it to be distributed to the level that it was. You could come up with different methods for the same disaster, but that doesn’t undermine it. It still caused this disaster and was seemingly preventable.

Also, you could argue that absolutism is the real evil. I think in the second one they tackle socialism. I didn’t play much of it and the timeline in comparison to the original confuses me. Buy it kinda implies that going to the extreme with no safeguards is problematic.

Funny, I just responded a similar response with 28 Days Later as an example and didn’t notice yours.

Interesting that you like the tropes. I like the fact that there’s some variation depending on your preference.

I like zombies that are infected and not reanimated. They’re fast but die from normal damage. 28 Days Later is one of my favorites and it’s a major point of emphasis.

The Walking Dead on the other hand is hard to take seriously sometimes because of the contrivances from slow moving zombies, and the fact that 10 year old zombies are still around bothers me. Although the idea of having a normal running society, but the dead reanimate is a very interesting concept that I would love to see explored.

I loved Sandman’s first season. I’m going to resub to Netflix just to watch the second season when they release it.

Now that you know this is connected, is there any connection you can think of?

I don’t remember much from that movie. Only that it was amazing and John Leguizamo was the best part of it.

You’re not wrong. Imagine a movie being made nowadays that just dogs on backwoods hicks from start to finish.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

She’s just always in a state of implosion and looks like she’s going to fuck everything up on stage. It’s the most anxiety inducing thing I’ve ever watched.

Idris Elba was a casting that shouldn’t have worked but turned out amazing. Kind of like Will Smith in Aladdin.

Zombie baby in Dawn of the Dead remake.

28 Days Later when Jim appears absolutely unhinged after killing the captors.

Walking Dead with the barn.

What If…? the moment they realize Vision’s intentions.

Planet Terror, the immediate aftermath of the “lost footage” when everything goes to shit.

Zombieland, BM’s regrets.

Shaun of the Dead, Dianne unsuccessfully fighting the zombie horde.

What was the last decent comedy that Adam Sandler made?

I love that movie for the simple fact that it gave us what I consider to be the perfect song, Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

6 is a little too dark of an example. But I like the thought process. I 100% assume there will be a meta element like The Lego Movie and Barbie where they will acknowledge a bunch of the stuff.

Also, I’m assuming that the ladder will be there and disappear. The Sims will then try to murder their creator.

Then again, that’s been done before.

First intense scene like that comes to mind is the opening to Inglourious Basterds. I’ll let you know if I think of one I like more than that. But that’s probably it.

It’s probably been 17 years since I saw it, and I didn’t love it. So my memory on it isn’t the best. So I’m going to give the obvious example of the coin scene. Which from what I remember commanded some gravitas.

I’ve seen all of those but Citizen Kane and I like them all well enough. I’d put The Truman show well above the others. I could see myself putting that in a top 10 list.

I don’t think Equilibrium is necessarily a good movie. But I still liked it.

My top 5 is probably:

• Pulp Fiction
• The Fifth Element
• Hot Fuzz
• Baby Driver
• Inside Out

I’d have to think of a top 10. The Truman Show, Lord of the Rings, The 13th Warrior, The Green Knight, Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse are all movies I can think of off the top of my head.

I don’t really think it’s accurate. I love when the main plot is deeper than just what you can see. I just watched The Green Knight and I was constantly trying to find the deeper meaning to whatever was happening and how it related to the overall plot in a more symbolic way.

My favorite movies are Pulp Fiction and The Fifth Element which both have multiple storylines. Although for The Fifth Element, the overall plot is straightforward.

I just didn’t find this movie interesting and the “intense” scenes didn’t really land for me.

Wow, that’s my top 3 that you don’t like. I love that you went and found at least something we both like though.
