If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
But ZOMBIES ARE MY FAVORITE THING!
This is just begging to be filked.

Idle Hands is fucking funny.
It was a total "Dude, Where's My Car?" moment for me -- I fully expected to find it shamefully, painfully, watch-from-the-hall BAD. And then I found myself laughing my ASS off.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Putrified noses and brains that get bitten,
Stumbling cadavers with them I am smitten,
Rotting appendages tied up in strings,
Zombies are one of my favorite things!

I certainly have to at least mention G Vs. E if only because it recalls the panel's title.
I'd forgotten about Ghost Whisperer and Medium! Unfortunately, I've not watched either one.

There was a recent-ish remake of Dawn of the Dead, as well as Romero's Land of the Dead (4th in his series of Dead movies).
Resident Evil 2
The Ring
The Ring 2
The Grudge
(and also the American release of Ju-on: the Grudge, the Japanese film it was a remake of...)
Dark Water
Freddy vs. Jason
(hey, a ghost and a zombie!)
On the TV front, there was that UPN show Haunted a couple of years ago, and Brimstone a good bit before that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Just got back from a screening of Tristan +Isolde, which BF is reviewing. It was baaaaad. It was attractive people with paper-thin characters suffering while being lovingly photographed. I told BF it was the OC in Leather tunics. However, if I was 13 years old, I think I would love this movie--due to the many male model types brooding and striding about, and the tragic love, which is expressed not through craxy passionate sex, but through slow motion kissing in close-up with backlighting.

Can anyone think of recent genre movies that featured zombies, ghosts and just about any characters who are kinda sorta life-challenged?
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but Peter Jackson's THE FRIGHTENERS definitely goes into the good dead vs. the evil dead.
Actually, Jackson's DEAD/ALIVE, although not so much with the good dead, makes up with double-extra zombie & mom issues.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, way to harsh on The OC.
