An anti-Bush,anti-Iraq war,anti-vote stealing corrupt Republican, zombie movie doesn't come along too often. The "David Murch" character was David Frum to a T.

3. I live in Canada and saw it on the Scream channel.
I was sure it said HBO in the credits,but I could be wrong.

4. I thought it was scathing. So pointed and accurate.
Much more political than scary. This is not your father's zombie movie.

Notice how there's almost no talk about this movie from any of the right wing, or corporate media? It seems that when presented with a piece of work this targeted, the best counter-attack is to pretend it doesn't exist.

Wait for the Season 1 DVD. They'll ignore it too.

6. It was great (Showtime)
the right wing was a parady of a parady if you can believe that...they did a great job

I wonder if the wingers see themselves as the loons they really are?

7. I thought it was uneven, but the underlying message was great
And that Ann Coulter character was a scream.

Who's scarier, an undead Army Zombie or Thea Green with a lighted candle? :evilgrin:

8. Thea Gill. She's the nice lesbian on Queer as Folk.
Quite a departure from that Mommy figure she played on that show.

My friend is into Dom and she couldn't get past the fact that this girl didn't know how to use the cat-o-9-tails properly or safely, and the tit clamps were improperly intalled, which causes unnecessary pain, and could damage the slave. She said that her slave would've got up and left for Jane Cleaver's incompetence. :rofl:

I said..."See? Repugs can't even do dominatrix right!" HaHaHa!
