IF zombies took over the Earth

Lounge Lizards Forum

IF zombies took over the Earth, what would you do? Where would you hide? Would you salt your beer? Would you get a gun?

I would make my way to the military base, and somehow, sneak my butt onto a fighter jet, fly to NASA, hijack the space shuttle, and launch myself into outer space.

I watched "My Name is Earl" last night. The one where they all think that Y2K is the appocolypse, so they decide to live in the local department store. I could totally picture a bunch of us living in a Wal-Mart or something if Zombies took over the Earth. Ron would take over the gun section, I'd want the books or pharmacy, Kris would want books, and we would all be nuts.

I'd take out every Zombie I came across. They would call me David the Zombie Slayer. Or maybe, since Zombies are alread dead, they would call me David the Zombie Crusher .

I would run them over with my 4x4 and squish them with my Gumbo Monster Mudders. I'd shoot the rest with a cool *** 12 Gauge Shotgun. In my spare time, I'd romance a scantilly clad blonde cutie and forge a new world by creating a city, called FORT WHIDDEN .


Then I would drink beer and play patty cake with the Blondie.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, held up in a Wal-Mart, Sher!!! That could be fun.
But, I like the thought of being in Fort Whidden... and us all doing some major ass whoopin' on zombies. We could take over an air force base, and nuke 'em... and all that fun stuff. And, while we're at it... play some cool drinking games too.

I saw the Omega Man when I was a kid, the one with Chuck Heston. Freaked me out. But it taught me one thing.


You see a zombie, you take it out, before it sticks you with a spear and leaves you in a water fountain in the park to die.

Well Fort Whidden sounds good, but I'd want a pirate in there somewhere. Hey, if the world is ending, I at LEAST want an "ARGH" or two thrown my way.

I can throw darts, so can I do that at Fort Whidden?

Chuck had the right idea. Shoot the Zombies and ask questions later. Too bad they got him in the end.

Did anyone see that movie "Sean of the dead?" it was really funny. I would go around with a bat clubbing zombies.

I'd kill you if you turned zombie. I would hope you would do the same for me.

We would have to get HECK! drunk and then mess with him.

No, but I did see that movie, 28 days later. That was pretty slick. That guy that was in the Last Potter movie was in it, the one who had the eye patch with the moving eye on it.


I don't get into horror movies, don't like them, but 28 days was more of a thriller than simple gore.

"Sean of the dead" or was it "shaun?" wasn't scary at all. It was funny.

I would have to get a mega supply of chocolate. No way would I let a zombie stand between me and my addiction.

Dave if you get all Trash Can man, so help me I will go over to the hardware section, get some duct tape and tape your sorry butt up to a pillar and feed you chocolate until you snap out of it, and if that doesn't work, I'll read you romance novels.

that's right mister, I said romance novels, so NO TRASH CAN MAN!

Trashy was nutz. He made friends with all the Dark Man's people, actually experienced unit cohesion, fit in for the first time, then it just overpowered him, he couldn't take it anymore, and he started blowing up planes and starting fires again.


Then, in a guilt induced fit, he decides to find a nuke, to make up for blowing up the Dark Man's planes. What a nimrod.


Trash Can Man screwed up the whole thing.

yes he did, and if you got all strange, I would duct tape you to something for your own good. Hell, from now on, I'd run around our zombie safe Wal-Mart with a tool belt with a bat, scissors, 3 rolls of duct tape, a feather, and a hammer.http://bestsmileys.com/movingeyes/2.gif

Me thinks Whizzle might be a zombie

*paranoia sets in

*puts on tin foil hat

Time to get out the bat!

I'm no zombie, but I found this pic on the net, while brushing up on the Omega Man.


Is it just me, or does the Zombie in the middle, bear a striking resemblance to Gaboman?

No one trust Gabo till we get this figured out. Don't shoot him, but don't leave him alone with the women. And if he turns out to not be a Zombie, don't leave him alone with the women either.

I've got duct tape! Let's tape him up until we know for sure.

I call dibs on his C.D. collection.

And I get all of his books.

I woke up this morning wondering what Zombies do all day. The movies I seen, they just walk around a lot and grunt, then try to kill you. They act like they have a group mind, they just all come at you with their arms raised up like Frankenstein.



I had a buddy back in 1988, he loved those day of the dead movies, and I watched a couple just to be polite. I found them stupid and sick, more or less just gross. The zombies in those movies were already dead, which was stupid. They all had their eyes, which is the first thing to go when you decay. They were getting up out of graves, etc. It was laughable.

I hate that kind of Zombie and reject the concept outright as plain BOGUS.


However, I have seen 3 excellent zombie movies in my life that were a lot of fun. Some gross parts yeah, but the premise of the ultimate hero fighting them and winning, (even if they died in the process) was a lot more fun to watch than some silly graveyard full of dead people killing everyone for fun.

Now, these movies are super cheese, and pure escapism, but they at least "try" to make an effort to make the plot plausible.



3 halfway decent Zombie movies:

1. The Omega Man
This was the old 70's movie with Charleston Heston. I forget the details of the plot, but Chuck was in the government and was involved with transporting some super virus somewhere, or had a vaccine or some rot, and the helicopter he was in crashed.

The virus escapes and turns the whole world into Zombies. These guys have Grey hair, white eyes, they just look Albino really. They can talk, they are intelligent, but they still want to kill you.

Chuck is the last man on Earth, hence the title. He hooks up with a lady, and I think they find some kids, and they battle zombies. The lady winds up turning into a zombie and Chuck is killed by a zombie with a spear, or some long wooden pole and dies in a water fountain thing. But there is hope, he has made an antidote and given it to the kids, some of whom are teenagers, so they can repopulate the earth.

I saw this movie way too young, at the age of 10 or 11 over at my grandpa's house on t.v.

My grandpa was laughing at it, but it terrified the tar out of me. It's an old cheesy 70's movie, full of crappy music, bad film, poor acting and bogus special effects, but still a CLASSIC.




2. Night of the Comet
This is a feel good 80's quirky movie, about a comet that passes by and turns everyone into zombies. A couple of good looking chicks and Chakotay from Star Trek Voyager survive, (if you were in a metal encased place, it protected you from the very short lived radiation that turns you into a zombie).

Actually, the radiation kills most everyone, but it turns a few into zombies. Some government people are in a bunker, deep underground, and most of the movie you think they are good guys. One of them, an older chick, you think is pure evil. All the government types want to go and find the "survivors". The one chick is against it. You pretty much hate her most of the movie.

However, it turns out the nimrods opened some vents during the comet to let a little radiation in, to build immunity to it or some rot, and they all are zombies, even the "evil" chick. She is really good, she don't want to go and kill and eat the survivors.

Of course, good wins out in the end, and the good looking chicks and Chacotay from Voyager defeat the zombies and the government types, and they get to live happily ever after in the new brave world with nobody around, and where the electricity still works.

The logic of this movie was out there some, but it was a fun movie to watch, as long as you leave your expectations at the door. A solid B movie, not great at all, but a cult classic.



3. 28 days Later
This one was recent, within the last few years. A virus gets out from a government facility that is experimenting on monkeys, I think they called it RAGE, it is supposed to turns them into fighting zombies.

Well, it gets out, and everyone goes super bloody zombie warpath like. If the blood from a zombie touch's you, you become a zombie.

The main hero is in a coma in the hospital, wakes up, everyone is dead cept the zombies, meets up with some survivors, they hear a radio message to go somewhere, (they are in England) they cruise over, it's some military types that are not zombies, but they want women. Bunch of killer perverts.

So, our hero defeats them, and he a few others make it out. The end of it, was about a month later, all the zombies are dying or dead from starvation, cause they won't go out and harvest food, or work, all they want to do is kill.

And the survivors are rescued, and the zombie epidemic was only on the Island of England or Great Britain or whatever. Geography over there is confusing.













Anyhow that wraps that up. Funny thing, how all 3 of those movies, the government was involved in a sinister way, and the hero's of the story were the "average" man or woman, stepping up to the plate, and prevailing.

I LOVE Night of the Comets. I remember seeing that movie a good 15+ times.

I have just been informed by my "loving wife" that if zombies did invade the earth I would be fine because I would pass for one of them. I was offended until I had a good look in the mirror.

I have not seen many good zombie releated films TV shows but 2 stand out

1. 28 days later Whidden has mantioned but he missed out what was for me the most impressive thing in the film. The beggining where the guy is walking through the deserted streets of London. They had to do that at 4am on a July morning so nobody got in the way.

2. Simpsons Ok not a film but a hallowean episode call ther Homega man a very funny episode.

I try to forget that scene, as the dude was buck nekkid. It burned my eyes to see him walking around nude.

Arghh now you have made me remember that scene, I had put a mental block on it and it's all come rushing back. Honestly though why show that it's not as if an apperance by the little general is integral to the storyline is it.

All I know is, I seen some stuff floppin around down there, and in shock, I realize the dude is nekkid. I was like, "Damn."


I seen some bad stuff in that movie, like bloody crazed monkeys and cool good guys get turned to zombies, but the nekkid guy made me want to hurl.

*puts Lodgebo on the list of people to duct tape up because he might be a zombie.

His wife outted him, he is a zombie.



Lock him and Gaboman in the root cellar.

I'll do it after the World Cup. For now he gets duct taped in front of the tv. I might even be nice and duct tape a Guinness in his hand too.

Hmm being forced to sit in front of the TV drinking and watching football. Yep I could go for that and this Guiness you speak of only sweetens the deal.

Well you just pretent to be a zombie, and we can arrange that. Mr. F. would go for the football, but not the Guiness. He likes beer.

Soccer is the beautiful game, but you don't have to watch, you just can't enjoy the quality beer that is going to be in our "taped up cause you might be a zombie" room.

Paramount & Pitt Planning Zombie War
Source: Variety June 15, 2006


Paramount Pictures has acquired screen rights to the Max Brooks novel "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War." Brad Pitt's Plan B will produce.

Written by the author of the satire "The Zombie Survival Guide," Barry's follow-up sparked a bidding battle between Paramount and Pitt, with Warner Bros. and Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way on the other side of the table.

The book is a sober telling of the aftermath of a war fought against a legion of humans who were inflicted with a virus, died and were reanimated into flesh-eating zombies.

"World War Z" will be published in the fall by Crown.

yeah, we blew it.

I'm telling you WHizzle, we could come up with some good cornball comedy. We have the ability, heck we skewered the Stand, crashed a plane load of celebrities onto Lost Island, now we are on to Zombies

http://bestsmileys.com/sick/6.gif

Oh no, since opening that email from Whizzle, I'm feeling sick, kind of like I have a virus or something. Maybe I had better go get some rest.

the infamous Simpson's episode based on the Omega Man. My favorite part, is Homer is kicking dead people the whole time, gets in a hearse, kicks the dead driver out, then is scared of the coffin in the car.
