Anyone watching zombie movies to celebrate the upcoming holiday?

[cynatnite]

I do have Passion of the Christ on blu, but haven't been in the mood for a gore flic. There is a cool zombie movie with Woody Harrelson that I might watch tonight. The kid does want to do a bit of the holiday, so I'll probably boil some eggs, and eat a chocolate cross.

1. WHERE CAN I GET A CHOCOLATE CROSS???

[cynatnite]

20. Wally world had a ton of them on the shelf...

I settled for chocolate eggs instead.

2. Zombieland is a pretty good zombie movie. Check it out. nt

[realisticphish]

3. yeah

Emma Stone and Bill Murray. Can't go wrong :D

[EvolveOrConvolve]

4. Emma Stone is hot, hot, hot!

[realisticphish]

6. first saw her in Superbad and loved her character

She reminds me to a certain extent of a Lindsay Lohan who ISN'T a drug-addled attention whore. And who can actually act.

So, ok, not much like Lindsay Lohan ;)

5. Watching "Life of Brian" for the upteenth time and chowing down on meatless meatloaf.

It was all I could do to get out of going to bf's mom's for dinner.

But they are going to ask me to say grace eventually, so I could use some suggestions, my fellow evil atheists. :(

10. Ooh, haven't seen that in a while...

think I will pop it in tonight when I get home :hi:

[beam me up scottie]

14. A true classic.

History of the World Part 1 is one of my favorites, too. Watching the out-takes has the same benefit as a half hour ab workout.
(pee first)

15. "I bring you these 15...

(crash) 10 commandments" :)

12. Practice gibberish?

If it doesn't go over well, you can say it was Tongues :)

13. LOL!

With my yankee accent, they'd never know the dif. :rofl:

16. Hey, I've been wanting to ask you since you got back...

What did you think of the Star Trek reboot?

I've never been a Trekkie. My son however, is a BIG fan. He also has awful taste in movies. The last flick he chose without argument from me was Ghost Rider. I never let him forget that :)

So, he really had to work to get me to see Star Trek. No, Dad this is a good one, you'll love it, really, I promise you.

And you know, he was right. I was charmed and I had a blast. It was great to have the twinkle-eyed cocksure brat back at the helm, and everybody rubbing each other the wrong way again. Uhuru shutting down Kirk and starting a thing with Spock... SPOCK!... while Kirk boggled had me rolling.

[beam me up scottie]

17. I wanted to hate it,

but it grows on you.

*minor issue that pissed me off:
I was expecting the female officers to be wearing unisex uniforms would that have been too much to ask? :freak:

Uhuru was great, but, - call me old fashioned - she would have been better in pants.

[charlie]

18. Ah yeah, the short short skirts

and go-go boots, the most practical attire for shipboard service. Even better than the crotch-sock armor worn in 300 (another of my son's must-see picks, oy). You're right, they changed the story arc -- fatherless Jim and emotional Spock -- but hung onto the uniforms? For what, fidelity to the show? Where are the beehive do's, then?

[beam me up scottie]

19. Their excuse was because it was the '60's.

They must still think the huge majority of Trekkies are adolescent males.

[darkstar3]

22. Short, simple, and containing only the barest of lipservice should do nicely for a forced grace.

"Good friends, good meat, good god let's eat!"

That's why Dad doesn't say grace at family gatherings.

*BTW, if there's no meat I can't help you...it's just better if it rhymes. :)

[beam me up scottie]

25. Heh, reminds me of Archie Bunker: "Bless the meat and damn the skin. Open yer kisser and cram it in"

I'm vegetarian, bf and family are not. I guess I could start by apologizing to the soul of the poor trusting little pig who was violently slaughtered after enduring what must have felt like an eternity on an indescribably inhumane factory farm.


Picture bf's mom in kitchen: "What do you mean 'nobody's hungry anymore'?"


After that, bmus will only be allowed to have dinner with them on holidays if she sits at the kiddie table.

:evilgrin:

7. I didn't see many on today, weirdly enough...

At least Biblical zombie movies. Usually on Easter a bunch of channels are running them, especially classic goopsters like King of Kings and The Greatest Story Ever Told.

But all I really saw that jumped out was a non-Jesus movie, The Ten Commandments. I think it was on AMC.

The History Channel made up for it yesterday, with religious shows running almost 24/7: Angels: Good or Evil?, Decoding Christianity Parts 1-57, The Real Face of Jesus, etc. etc. etc.

My Easter laugh - MSNBC ran a true-crime show, The Kindness of Strangers. About twin sisters who are con artists, especially targeting churches. One of them, at the age of 33, passed herself off as an abandoned 13-yr-old boy. Before the suckers caught on, she had two trust funds established for her and people all over the country wanting to adopt him/her.

The best part is the sisters' name - Birdie Jo and Becky Jo Hoaks.

:rofl:

11. History channel

has been getting more and more religious lately. Rather sickening. A week or two ago they were promoting a show about the real face of christ, and it looks like they used the shroud of turin (which has already been proven to have been created around Leonardo's time) as a starting point.

8. When Passion came out on DVD

I rented it. I was still a somewhat believer at the time. That movie stirred feelings in me I never want to feel again. Anyone who thinks this and the passion plays Europeans used isn't meant to stir up anti-semitic feelings is full of it.

[trotsky]

9. Nope, just staying the hell away from the poor victimized Christians...

whose persecution complex ratchets up a dozen degrees come their special day, and rather than spend it oh, I dunno, worshiping their zombie god, they roam around DU looking for reasons to be offended and then exaggerate or just make shit up to bash atheists and everyone else who isn't respecting their religion enough.

For fuck's sake, it's as if Billo Reilly robots have come to wage the War (for) Easter.

[iris27]

21. No zombie movies, but Monty Python's "Life of Brian" is becoming something of

an Easter-weekend staple at our place.

[onager]

23. I watch that at Xmas! And can also recommend, for major Xian holidays...

And God Spoke. With Soupy Sales as Moses, Eve Plumb as Mrs. Noah, and Lou Ferrigno as Cain.

"Mockumentary" about a pair of Z-grade movie producers ("Ninja Cheerleaders") who decide to film the entire Bible. Takes good swipes at everyone in the movie biz, from producer's nephews down to the catering truck operators. Hilarious!

"Err...did Jesus have ten disciples, or only eight?"

[Goblinmonger]

24. I'm so stoopid

Didn't see your post when I posted mine.
