Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Finally saw Zombieland. Yay, fun! Inevitably my thoughts turned towards comparison with Shawn of the Dead, and while I think I still prefer Shawn for sheer cleverness and consistency, Zombieland had much to love. And for the second time in a matter of weeks in this thread I'm in complete agreement with iSm regarding Flippy's bit of criticism. Any determent to the film, which I can understand where he's coming from, is totally outweighed by the sheer delight the sequence instilled in me. And I remarked as we left how surprised and happy I was that, even weeks into the run, I had not heard even a whisper of said sequence, so it was a totally unexpected treat.
