28 Weeks Later

[retro_eidas]

An entry NOT about Dr. Who for once! I amaze even myself.

Refugee British People: The Americans say we can go back to our country again?! YAY!!

Audience: But there could still be infected around? They can't have searched the whole country in 28 weeks.

American Soldierboys: Trust us! We're Americans!! And we will defend this country with every ounce of dirty jokes and voyeurism! Which we have TONS!!

Refugee British People: You see! Totally safe!!

((Americans FAIL. Then KILL. EVERYONE.))

Refugee British People: WTF?!?!?!?! DIE YANKS DIEGRRRO;DALGK;AKDJ;FLKSJ;DF...... BRAINS!!!!!!

In other words, leave your shit AT HOME KIDS!!

Loved the movie (of course I could be thinking that partly due to Spidey 3 being so abysmally ass, but not discussing that), but oh my GAWD.... I don't know if it was just my theater or it was directorial/creative decision, but the beginning and the very end? RINGING. EARS. So loud I could feel my organs shifting around with the concussive sonic blasts. So loud I thought some recessive, throwback portion of my DNA would awaken, I'd inexplicably expand ten times my size and go on a life energy draining rampage ((whovians giggle at dodgy skience)).

One part of the movie I snorted at the incompetence of the mighty protectors was the safe zone "for their protection" of the helpless rabblecattle by cramming them all in that garage... of which they didn't bother securing all the exits. So of course there's Robert Carlyle drooling on the other side of the unsecured far door. The exit that actually was guarded (by a flimsy chain) was broken through easily by the panicked horde. dohHOH!


Two nice, resourceful adults in a zombie movie? Yeah. They were so going to die. Only the resourceful, not-rapist assholes get to live in zombie movies... unless they're Cillian Murphy. But he did go on a bit of a psycho rampage at the end of 28DL, so not quite so nice, thus he gets to survive.

Hero sniper-boy Who Isn't That Guy From Final Destination (but frak, he looks like him) was quite sexy with all the crispy self-sacrificing heroism. Although I couldn't remember for the life of me where I'd seen him from. ((runs to IMDB)) Heh. I've heard of some of those things he's been in but haven't watched any of them. Eh. Probably saw his face in trailers or something.

I wonder though.... is 28 Years Later going to be some grizzled middle-aged man with one brown eye & one green eye eatting spam and holed up in the mountains? Batting away the vicious, drooling baddies in his bathrobe like in I Am Legend or something? Fun times!! I'm sure the aliens will save him (unless they got their pointers from the Americans or they just want to rape some women... then all is eff'd).

LOL see I don't get why they made this movie. I loved 28 Days Later, even bought the dvd despite being the most pathetic sissy you have ever seen. Seriously, that doll Chucky from Child's Play still freaks me out, and don't even get me started on "It"...I can never look at another clown without secretly thinking he will murder me. So yeah, I'm kinda proud that I own 28DL, and yes Cillian is lovely Irish eyecandy but I genuinely liked the movie. So wtf, why is there a sequel. Looking at your review though, it seemed moderately entertaining so you know i'll have to check it out. I hate that Cillian isn't in it though, cause *drool* it's nice to see something pretty between all of the zombies. Now write me a DW review, cause I am dying to know what you thought.
