AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Hollywood hacking

Saw Monsters U. Twas good. I'll probably elaborate later.

If you're referring to the young girl "hacking" the computer systems, it was a simple UNIX reboot, which she actually remarks on in the scene. The system in question was designed specifically for the movie and then released to the public.

The question is did you wear your dumb Guy Fawkes mask and bring a protest sign

Was it? That's kind of surprising to me.

So... just went and watched World War Z. It's time to face the music... *inhale*

World War Z is a good movie.

It honestly is every bit the original masterpiece that redeems itself for deviating from the book. The acting is top notch, the writing is better than the DevHell would ever allow me to believe, the characters are all sympathetic in ways, and the cinematography is pretty breath-taking. When you watch the film, you can tell every cent of the inflated budget was well-spent, and you'd never know anyone in the cast or production crew was fighting with someone else.

Again, the only thing I don't like about this movie is the zombies. Their behavior is outright silly, their physicality is bizarre, and the CGI depicting them in tackles, grabs, and the "anthills" (oh god) is awful. This might seem like it'd ruin it for you, but it really doesn't break up the pace or the tension. The fact that these are just ragezombies straight out of 28 Days Later with an even more impressive evolution time (ten Mississippi seconds) kind of makes sense, because how else would a world so genre savvy go to shit so quickly? Oh! And YES, they do refer to these things as "zombies" and "undead" because that's what the fuck they are. Sort of. In fact, the first mention of them is an alluded government communicae from Korea that specifically has "zombie" as the triggerword that sets off Israel's paranoia.

I have hope, guys. I have hope that the sequel will be more like the books and follow a flashback interview style because it would be far more entertaining and far more exciting with rage zombies thrown in the works. Let's see you plant that explosive underwater charge now with a rustled off meat grinder with big, frozen tiddies trying to chew your nose off, Mr. SCUBA-Submarine Guy!

Oh, and Volvo gets possibly the best and most subtle advertisement ever: Just when shit starts to hit the fan, an ambulance T-bones the protagonist family's car at about 50mph, mainly where the youngest daughter is sitting in the behind-driver seat. She doesn't have a seatbelt on. Fuckin' unharmed for the rest of the film. Not a significant spoiler, and its pretty much at the start of the movie, but it ruins some of the moment's suspense to know that.

I had zero confidence in a film I'd not yet seen and was certain would be terrible, but I'm here to say this: My name is Medic, and I approve of World War Z.

It's not the mask that's dumb, what was dumb was the intent you were going to use it for. The Guy Fawkes mask is a symbol of rebellion, both in the actual Guy Fawkes figure and the V For Vendetta aspects, it's not something you put on when a movie might not be good.

My only question is how silly you felt when you came to that revelation.

I could wear it for whatever reason I like

That you intended to pester people about a movie you hadn't seen yet, and ended up liking in the end anyway.

A better way of protesting a movie (hahaha) would have been to not buy a ticket. Buying a ticket for that movie you hate contributes to it's Box Office Sales.
