Holiday Public Service Announcement: Tips For Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

Don’t prioritize your pies.
I finally saw Zombieland on pay per view. I wasn’t able to catch it when it was at the cinema, none of the pieces really came together at the time and it just slipped away.
Anyway, ninety minutes of zombie slashing goodness while eating dinner. Thank goodness goreishness doesn’t intefere with my appetite.
Overall, I quite enjoyed it. Zombieland wasn’t as uproarishly funny as I expected from the trailers. In fact I think the trailers raised my expectations a bit too much. Most of the sight gags in the trailers were presented fairly early on in the film and actually weren’t the features I thought they’d be. No matter it was worth the $6.95 cost of a PPV viewing.
Downsides, perhaps a bit short at 90 minutes. The Bill Murray cameo, while good, was entirely predictable from the first wiggle of his fingers.
And the source of the zombie virus this time? Forget the evil corporations testing man-made virii. Whatever you do, don’t eat the burgers at roadside diners. You don’t know where they’ve been.
And now, that wonderful trailer.
