Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

There are, but hte problem is I saw them all on late night TV during bouts of illness, so I have to google titles to find details.
One of the post WWI that I am 90% sure is "scientific" rather than vodou is the again awful "revolt of the zombies". Zombies were used successfully in WWI, and now a soldier has been sent to Cambodia to recover the formula. But he abuses it for his own purposes. Revolt of the Zombie is another tormented scientifically created zombie out for revenge. There is also "revenge of the zombies" in which zombie slaves are created to serve Nazis, and the zombie maker has even turned his wife into a zombie. Zombie wife ends up leading the revolt of the zombie slaves against the zombie maker. Plague of Zombies does have the zombies raised by means learned in Haiti, but it is a Welsh squire raising the dead to work as miners. I think Romero took his dead rising from the graves scene in 1968 from this. I'll bet Hec can remember more of these than I can. There is also "strange creatures who stopped living and becaming crazy mixed up zombies" which I have never scene, because I always assumed no film could be either as good or as bad as that title.

Typo had me trying to remember the name of a b&w zombie movies I saw years ago, and in the process I discovered the existence of Shock Waves (1977), in which Peter Cushing leads an army of Nazi zombies.
The movie I was thinking of was "I Walked with a Zombie," in which the woman's zombie-like state may be from disease, abuse by her husband or voodoo. What I remember about it is that it had a wonderfully spooky atmosphere and the sort of acting in which lines are delivered with a lot of dramatic pauses. "Yes, she is ....... a zombie."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Just finished watching the first two eps of Korra. Oh, how I missed this world! I loved Tenzin's son falling asleep while meditating, and Toph's daughter calling Korra out on vigilante justice not being her purpose in life.
Can't wait for more! I really hope that the rest of the episodes are available on Hulu or somewhere online, since I have no tv.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I caught the eps too and I happened to look at the credits at the end and imagine my surprise when I saw J.K. Simmons name. So then I had to rewind the credits to see what other names I recognized. There is a carnival of famous people in this show. Beau was surprised I recognized so many voice actors, but it was hard not to with all the famous people.
There is one person who is credited who I don't remember appearing (Stephen Root), so I look forward to more from him.

Ooo, that's the one with the iconic image of the Nazi zombie rising out of the water.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm looking at google image search results for 'shock waves zombie'. Is this the zombie in question, even if it's not the shot?

Lance Henricksen is in the Korra credits! And Eva-Marie Saint! WTF.
ION, I saw Fringe last night. If I express dissatisfaction with the outcome, does that mean I have no romance in my soul?
Also, if the love of Peter's friends/family is responsible for bringing him back from nothingness, what about the people who died in this reality because Peter wasn't there to save them? Shouldn't the love of their friends/family have brought them back, too?
I'm going to mourn the lost possibility of Olivia/Lincoln: I thought they had a really nice insomniac's rapport going.
