There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hey, there's nothing cooler in the world than zombies.

Although, IMDb says it's directed by the dude who wrote both Scooby Doo movies, which is somewhat more worrisome.

But hey! It has Jameson's secretary from Spidey 2!

He did also write the Dawn of the Dead remake, but that is not too much of an improvement.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought that was a good movie for the first 3/4 of the time. It was the kind of way I'd like to deal with a zombie attack.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

I thought it was pretty good actually - but soooo scary. I couldn't sleep the night I watched that.

It was the kind of way I'd like to deal with a zombie attack.

Yeah, Sarah Polley's character was so sharp - really quick on the uptake. I liked it that she wasn't standing around going "Oh my god, what's happening, how can this be" for like half the movie, the way the lead actress often does in horror flicks.

Would a sledgehammer be the best weapon to have for a zombie attack, assuming limited/nonexistent supplies of handgun ammo?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It depends on how fast the zombies are at evading attack. If they're really slow, then a sledgehammer would work well. If not, then I think some sort of sword (used for decapitation) would work better. Maybe a Samurai sword?

Hmmm. I frankly wouldn't be very confident of being able to decapitate a standing opponent very easily, particularly if the opponent was fast-moving.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

But, you can only use a grenade once. I am thinking, something like a long-handled broom, with something spiky on the end, to make the zombies keep clear of my personal bubble. Because, depending on the Rules of Zombiedom, just one touch could be the thing that turns you undead.

Maybe one of those Asterisk-on-a-Chain dealies, like the Witch-king had. What are those?
