Rate Shaun of the Dead

[Captain Tagon]

This was the best movie I've seen in a long long long time.

Best movie ever though, I've gotta go with the old stand by...Citizen Kane.

Just saw it tonight, and gave it a 9.
Great movie, very well done all around.

Great movie: Gave it a 9

Best Moive ever? Pulp Fiction.

 

[Particle_Man]

Well put together and works on both the horror and comedy/parody levels. 8.5 rounds up to 9.

Loved it! Instant classic. Well acted. Well crafted. Great story. It works on so many different levels, simultaneously. I love how it shows everyone living zombie-like lives before things even get into the "real" zombies. I loved how the whole storyline was just developing in the background.

I can't say enough good things about this one. I highly recommend it.

And a cool tagline:

A Romantic Comedy. With Zombies.

I have another question. What was so funny about "I'm sorry, Shaun"? Does sorry have another slang meaning? Does it sound like something else in British?

He was appologizing for letting out a stinking cloud, of course. You know; say you're sorry in the most sincere manner possible, they don't know why you're appologizing, then the smell hits them.

 

[Chun-tzu]

Thanks for the explanation, Galethorn and Ferret.

I must have missed that because I never apologize when I -- er, I mean, I never fart. Yeah, that's what I meant.

To not thoroughly disrupt the Shaun lovefest, I have one question. Why did Shaun get upset when people called them "zombies"? I mean, apart from "it's ridiculous!" At first I thought it was just denial, but even when they're in the Winchester and he knows what they are, he still says that at one point. Is this a zombie movie in-joke that I missed?

It's kind of obscure, but I think they were referring to the fact that in the old Romero movies, the characters never called them zombies. They always said something like "those things". Either that or it was referring to the whole 28 Days Later "they're not zombies, they're angry people" thing. Either it's one of those two or I missed it completely.

If you guys all liked Shaun of the Dead, then you absolutely HAVE to get hold of the Spaced series on DVD here. SotD is NOTHING compared to this! And that's saying something.

Many of the same actors appear in it, particularly Simon Pegg (Shaun) and Nick Frost (Ed) and it, too, is directed by Edgar Wright. No zombies, though.

Oh, and Big Al says dogs can't look up!

No zombies, though.

Not strictly true.

Season One - Episode 3. ART

Where Tim and Mike take some cheap speed and Tim (Simon Pegg) ends up having Resident Evil induced hallucinations, throughout much of the episode.
