If you haven't seen this one yet then give it a shot. Watched it again after Ghat, Pappa and Rachel talking about it in the movie challenge thread.

It is indeed a classic. Twinkie, anyone?

For the win! Great cast too.

I'm gonna be honest, as much as I like Simon Pegg (Or at least used to before he sold out with Star Trek and Paul) I think Zombieland is better than Sean of the Dead. :coffee:

I liked it well enough, but I think you're just coming down off a Zombieland high. Once your head is back on straight, you'll realize that Shaun of the Dead is the most brilliant movie ever made.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

I hate to be "that guy". I thought it was slightly funny and ever so mildly entertaining. Everyone else seemed to love the Bill Murray bit. I thought it was cringeful and obvious.
Definitely not better than Shaun of the Dead.

Honestly Tat, I wasn't that big a fan of it. SotD is funny at bits but a lot of the humour falls short of actually being funny and the plot seems to lose direction when they reach the Winchester. It was well directed and possibly the last decent thing that Simon Pegg was in but other than that I think it's really overhyped.

Zombieland was amazing... but Shaun of the Dead is in another league altogether.

The Bill Murray bit was one of my favourite parts, it was one of the most intentionally detached scenes in the film because it was supposed to just be a nod of the head for movie fans who've grown up with his comedies. Everything from the way it's Bill who has the hoover when they're pretending to be Ghostbusters to the "Any regrets?", "I dunno, Garfield, Maybe" was well done in my opinion.

It was cheap and tacky and didn't do anything for the film. In fact, that whole Bill Murray bit really pissed me off.

My bad, I forgot Hot Fuzz was after Shaun of the Dead, I liked that more, probably because I grew up watching all the movies that Nick Frost references in it.
