    Zombieland (aka best movie ever made)

    From IMDb...

    Harrelson To Star In Zombieland

    26 August 2008 5:08 AM, PDT

    Actor Woody Harrelson will star in forthcoming comedy film Zombieland.

    The No Country for Old Men star is set to feature in Ruben Fleischer's zombie action film.

    The movie revolves around a mismatched pair of survivors who find friendship in a world overrun by zombies, and Harrelson will play one of the men, a fighter named Albuquerque.

    Great.

    I find it funny how the actors are always "the star of (the latest hit they made)". When I think of Woody Harrelson, the first movies that come to mind are Natural Born Killers, White Men Can't Jump or Grass. Not No Country for Old Men.

    True, but Woody actually had the best lines in "No Country." He was also hilarious/awesome in that film, if only because he was a cowboy hat wearing hitman. His scene with Javier was pretty damn good. But yeah he played a much bigger role in the other movies you mentioned.

    I need to see a trailer for this movie. But hey it has zombies, which is a plus.

    Bold prediction: This will not be the best movie ever made.

    Though I will concede that "Albuquerque" may be one of the best names for a hero character, particularly played by Woody Harrelson.

    Suggested alternate plot: Two entrepeneurs are shocked (shocked!) to discover that their idea for a Zombieland theme park powered by and featuring real live zombies goes horribly awry!

    But in the end, Woody, some chick and a couple of random kids helicopter their way out to safety, and the zombies are left to die in Zombieland...

    ...Until they learn how to swim and attack San Diego in the sequel.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    The alternative plot=pretty awesome. At the very least it would be a hilariously sharp satire.

    Zombieland

    Trailer

    They should have just renamed this Dead Rising: The Movie.

    Sure it looks like fun, but it's all really pointless since there is only one true definitive zombie comedy.
    Sure why not?

    STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
    STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
    THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
    THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
    LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

    Peter Jackson's and Edgar Wright's. That's two.

    I haven't seen PJ's.

    I'm just really tired of the zombie franchise. Is it still really that big of a marketable seller?
    Sure why not?

    Fido's fine but it doesn't come close to Shaun or Brain Dead.

    I think Fido was when I became done with zombies.

    Though I never liked them that much to begin with.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    i'd consider zombie's a genre rather than a franchise (i assume that was a miswording on your part wats). like any genre it has its fans and detractors

    Ah, this. The movie that Woody Harrelson used as an excuse to punch paparazzis.

    Yawn. These films are getting a little boring.

    I like the piano bit, though.
    The Boat People - 9
    The Power of the Dog - 7.5
    The King of Pigs - 7

    Do you even need an excuse for that?

    It's almost as if the zombie satire is becoming its own Horror sub-genre. At least this one is not called Shit of the Dead or of the Dead something.

    I'll pass until they start doing something truly interesting with zombies.

    And Fido was not good.

    Yeah, Fido was kind of mediocre. It has some good moments though.

    Good-to-decent (pseudo)zomcoms:

    Return of the Living Dead
    My Boyfriend's Back
    Braindead
    Shaun of the Dead
    Slither
    Night of the Creeps
    I was a Teenage Zombie
    Biozombie
    SARS Wars
