Watching "Shawn of the Dead" . . . don't comfort me, laugh with me
This wasn't intended as a copycat thread, I was just coming to rave about how damned funny this movie is!

I love it :)

Best zombie movie ever :evilgrin:

1. You have to see "Bubba Ho-Tep" !
Hilarious--if you like Zombie movies, I think you'll like it.

Shawn of the Dead is on my must see list; but we're banning ourselves from the video store--just can't seem to manage getting vids back on time. :P

2. Best part is when (spoiler)
they're going through his album collection & throwing them at the zombies

"New Order Blue Monday?" "NO! It's an original pressing!!"

6. We take Pete's car, we drive over to mum's, we go in, take care of Phillip
- then we grab mum, we go over to Liz's place, hole up, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

7. Most excellent
we are supposed to be snowed in this weekend so I made a movie run. Haven't seen it yet but so far I have heard nothing but good things.

8. It's one of the funniest movies I saw last year
Some great moments...

"You've got red on you."

"Fuck-a-doodle-doo."

The slip when he's walking out of the convenience store.

The scene with Shaun, Ed, zombie girl Mary, and the camera.

Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" on the jukebox.

Classic! :D

9. The camera was the first big laugh out of me :)
LOL . . . this movie is just sheer fun.

Nothing deep or meaningful, nothing thought-provoking, just flat-out fun.

It's now a permanent part of my collection :)
