A guy I used to work with had written his own script for a sequel to 28 Days Later that was way more fun than the actual sequel. Just for funs, but it was still a better idea than the one they ran with.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How'd it go, basically?

It was a 28 years later thing, and Britain had been entirely quarantined since the outbreak, surrounded by great big walls and boats with guns and such. But teams of bounty hunters/thieves and such would try to break in and track down money and works of art and such to sell once they got back out.
ETA - Are you still in the ER? I can entertain you with ridiculous things until you feel less/more human, if it helps. Either that, or turn off the computer and get some sleep!

Just got home. I'll scroll upthread and read the 28WL whitefont, and then it's off to pillowland. For, like, seven seconds.
Interesting premise for the movie.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I thought the theme of 28WL was that kids should obey their parents and not go traipsing off. :-)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Did anybody see 30 Days of Night? It's only just come out over here. I went to see it yesterday on a whim, and it's actually quite good, I thought.

I haven't, but I am planning on getting the first volume of the comics this weekend. Which is... not relevent.

Jars, after seeing it I'd quite like to read the comics. Which is also.. not relevent.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hunt for 'odd' Star Trek extras
Producers of the new Star Trek movie are to hold an open casting session for people with "unique" features to appear as extras in the film.
The studio said it was interested in people with unique characteristics like "long necks, small heads, bug eyes, large foreheads and oversized ears".
Hopefuls also have to agree to have their eyebrows shaved to portray a "Vulcan-type" eyebrow shape.
Auditions will take place on Saturday in California.
Extras will get the chance to play Star Fleet military cadets in the new film, which will centre on the early experiences of Captain Kirk and his team.
...
Some of the facial features the studio is looking for include:
* extremely large heads and foreheads
* wide or close-set eyes
* over or undersized ears and/or nose
* facial deformities
* pronounced cheekbones
* ultra perfect or ultra plain-looking people
"Everyone must be thin, athletic, fit; wardrobe will be form-fitting. All hair lengths on males and females welcome," the casting invitation added.
