I just did. It reminded me to some degree of "The Life Aquatic". All the film's touching moments are supposed to me laughable. Like I said in my review, it's Ludicrously Poignant. <br /><br />There is humor in both these movies that I can see a lot people just not caring for at all, and that's fine. But it's right up my alley. I loved it.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-13634321264590652592009-10-05T13:25:25.087-05:002009-10-05T13:25:25.087-05:00you've seen Night of the Living Dead and don&#...you've seen Night of the Living Dead and don't think its better than Zombieland? I don't even know where to begin on objecting to that. It not only brilliantly tackles social issues in 1968 of all years and is creepy and suspenseful for the entire movie. <br /><br />Zombieland is shallow. Really shallow. I stayed positive in my review simply because of your hinted about scene (and I do mention it in my review). I knew it was coming and didn't feel it was lessened by knowing it was coming.<br /><br />Jesse Eisenberg is Hollywood's back up Michael Cera and just as annoying. The film's attempts at touching moments are painful when they aren't downright laughable. And frankly it does try to get clever with some of its kills and trying it fails.Rory Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368929505838549463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-21756318993677832992009-10-05T11:21:12.286-05:002009-10-05T11:21:12.286-05:00Don't worry.

I don't even, as I said, hint at it.<br /><br />And imagine, I would never have seen it if I hadn't seen the movie, which I wasn't planning to. But I decided for whatever reason I was in the mood. The movie gods helped me. I'm so glad. It was so good.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-6502491765779828272009-10-05T11:00:57.406-05:002009-10-05T11:00:57.406-05:00I stopped reading when you said, "don't r...I stopped reading when you said, "don't read a review before watching this film".davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-81045138079571474582009-10-05T10:19:56.112-05:002009-10-05T10:19:56.112-05:00And just think, only a few blog entries ago you we...And just think, only a few blog entries ago you were saying that you weren't really looking forward to this film.
