I had mad, mad love for Shaun of the Dead. I caught the video game bit, and the zombie-training sequence, especially the shot of them putting it into action made me laugh so hard I almost choked on my popcorn. I still think back on bits and giggle. One of my friends had to miss out due to a rehearsal dinner so I gets to go again!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Another thing I liked were the shout outs to 28 Days Later in the news reports.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, I saw a promo for The Grudge. It reminds me a lot of The Ring in look (which makes sense), though they seem to be mining more diverse creepiness, which may just mean that the movie's less focused, or more creepy, or both, hard to say for sure. Apparently, SMG's going to be one of those actors who, as long as she looks just-like-Buffy, it's gonna be a mental block for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Me too, so far.
EW last week had a great set of photos of Buffyher.

You can go ahead and call them Buffy pictures. Their cover certainly did.
P.S. Thanks, Matt. I watched "The Punisher" without the slightest bit of attention to the plot, and I think I was happier for it. That movie certainly does do its part in bringing a shirtless hero to the screen. Moreover, a hero who should be consistantly shirtless, which is just nice.
(Consistant? Consistent? Why is my brain having so much trouble?)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
She looks startlingly like Michelle T in a couple of those.
I was thinking that if she'd dye her hair for a couple projects, that would be a goodness, but it might just make her look even more like MT.

Someone described the grudge trailer as "randomly flipping through TV channels, one of which has Buffy on", which sums up what I thought of it

Glad it's not just me. Sometimes I've joked that post-Chosen, Buffy becamse an actress.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I have a nasty feeling that when I see The Grudge, I'll keep wondering why SMG just doesn't beat the crap out of the monsters, or call Willow to help her out.

This is why her roles in the Kevin Williamson movies never worked for me. No way could the Gorton's fisherman or spooky face take down Buffy.
