  • Zombie movie day 6! Another one from the perspective of the Zombies : DeadHeads. This has slightly more of a roadtrip movie to it, interspersed with zombie action. Still, it works pretty well and has some great characters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPWGkvk7b2I
  • Zombie movie day 5! Wasting Away (aka Aaah! Zombies!!). This is a good twist on the normal zombie comedy, as the main protagonists are zombies themselves. The use of black & white to represent reality and colour to represent zombie perception is particularly effective as well. Definitely worth putting into your horror…
  • It's a pretty apt metaphor. Except that zombies have more mass appeal than their respective careers usually do. Zombie movies day 4! The Mad, starring Billy Zane. Another cheesey actor you just don't see enough of. In this one infected burger meat turn people into ravenous zombies. Because SCIENCE! Also starring Maggie…
  • Zombie movies day 3 - The Zombie King. This movie is largely nonsensical plot-wise. But there is some amusing dialogue here and there. Plus you've got both Edward Furlong and Corey Feldman hamming it up to a high degree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRn2pGAFE78
  • Zombie movies day 2 - Something a little bit more contemporary with Rise of the Zombies! The cast in this is great. You have Danny Trejo as a badass, Ethan Suplee as surprisingly badass, LeVar Burton as the worst scientist ever and even French Stewart as a lunatic scientist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9cxIOU9MNI
  • Well in that case, you may enjoy hearing some Horrobilly music. This is The Creepshow. First track is 'Zombies Ate Her Brain' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu3Rfc9fr-0 This second track is 'Hellbound' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V-zM6IhChw
  • Zombie week it is! We'll start at the classier end with La Horde. It's in French and it actually has a pretty decent budget. The plot is pretty simple: Enemies forced to unite together against a greater foe (in this case a shitload of zombies), but the action and pacing is excellent. It also has a very good rate of…
  • Lockout. Awesome popcorn movie. Explosions, cheesey one liners, a cynical antihero, more explosions all IN SPAAAAAAAAACE! Good fun as long as you don't think too hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLTOzu8N1Pg Anybody got any genre requests? Or favoured actors? Or whatever. Failing that you'll be getting a full zombie…
  • I think they're more firmly in the metal camp.
  • Aachi and Ssipak This movie is insane and awesome. With the insanity dialed up to 11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_rKuqM_8XM

  • Happy birthday! I assume that you got birthday level drunk. IMAGE!
  • I'm pretty stumped for another. None of the various King Kong movies are in any way scary. Planet of the Apes is an awesome flick, but it's still not quite there. The Lawnmower Man has a bit of monkey with a gun action. But that's right at the beginning for all of two minutes. 28 Days Later has some monkey murderin', but…
  • Home brew is delicious. But fuck this hangover. You guys don't suck.
  • How about Orangutans? You should watch Link. He's an adorable orangutan butler, oh wait he's murdering the fuck out of a bunch of people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyHdLJ3B9jk
  • I listen to some, but generally the more accessible stuff.
  • Monkey Shines! The tale of a quadriplegic man and his evil helper monkey. Need I say more? How about it was directed by the undisputed King of Zombies: George A. Romero? The premise for this movie is ludicrous. But it somehow works. Plus there is heaps of adorable capuchin action tempered by murderous capuchin action.…

  • Time to go retro again with the 1989 film, Blind Fury. Starring Rutger Hauer as a sort of American Zatoichi (sans the masseur career) Blind Fury has a lot of action, spectacular one-liners and a heaping of total badassery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgnlJ38ntQw
  • Today I present No One Lives. A twist on the usual slasher model, with the hunter/prey role switching over very early in the film. It's well-paced and doesn't skimp on the gore. Plus rednecks getting slaughtered is always fun viewing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Eiko_J6mfE
  • I think it still counts as 'original concept' age, I guess. That or they're cryogenically freezing him between brainstorming sessions.

  • Crazy. Australia fail. Try this one. You have to hit the 'show annotations' button for the subtitles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umyms8JVYWg
  • I am complete agreement. A complex story would have really gotten in the way of the arse kickery. And how good was Ron Perlman?
  • How so?
  • Today we're going with a video game movie. Ace Attorney, based on the Phoenix Wright games. I'll admit, I never actually played the games but I did really enjoy this movie. It's funny, exceedingly stylish and all round good fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBkA4bQsTY4
  • Some friends and I started rewatching the old show last year after we invented a pokemon drinking game. It was pretty good fun.
  • In honour of illithid's spiffy new teaching gig, how about an education based movie? Welcome to the Class of 1999, a dystopian future (well, past now I guess) where the school systems are overwhelmed by violent crime and Malcolm McDowell is a principal. What's the solution? Why ex-military combat robots re-programmed to be…
  • Battletoads. Brutal. So, so brutal.
  • I think congratulations are in order! Be sure to stick around and tell us how it all goes. What's Wisconsin like? I'm vaguely convinced they have a lot of cows there... I think that's the extent of information gleaned from too much American TV.
