Yesterday night I finally managed to watch Zombieland.
After a dinner with pizza and beer I collapsed on the sofa and put the dvd on.
I already heard that the movie was good and I found it so. Zombieland it's one of those movies with no pretence of being an award winning film and that's probably one of the reasons why it's so enjoyable. I practically liked everything of Zombieland.
First the setting. I just love apocalyptic movies and this is set after the father of all the Zombie outbreaks.
Then the charcaters. The main character Columbus, a guy that reminds of one of Revenge of the Nerds, meets Tallahassee a kick ass Zombie Hunter and later the though-sexy-wild Wichita and her twelve years old sister Little Rock.
The movie is not only comic, fast and full of raging zombies but succeed in mixing these elements so well that it caught me from the beginning to the end without glitching.
The finale with the massive Zombie shooting in the theme Park is just epic.
There are rumors of a sequel. I hope they'll do it because I sure I want to see how the four keep on surviving when even the last Twinkies expired...
Halloween is coming so I'm thinking of posting some stuff to appreciate our most loved night of the year.
Here's the first one. By surfing TeeFury website I came across this wonderful project by a designer called Jared Moraitis of Pop-Monkey. As I'm both a zombie and Obama fan, I find myself in the position of appreciating this work of art as an appraisal to one of the most influential and beloved statesman of the world modern history. If you think the tee's just offensive please read the following excertp from the designer interview at this page.
There are many possible meanings and interpretations of this design, but if you're assigning some sort of racist, hate-filled vibe to it, then I suggest you take a long walk off a short pier. This is a commentary about rabid Obama fan-mania coupled with his missteps as a new leader, as well as a commentary about appropriation art. I'll leave the details up to your imagination. This is not a photo-manipulation of that other Obama piece, though it's obviously based on it -- it's completely hand-drawn from scratch, then rendered in Illustrator
