And on a lighter note:

Stolen meme-age:
You are in a mall when zombies attack. You have:
1. One weapon
2. One song blasting on the speakers
3. One famous person to fight along side you

1) I know shotguns and chainsaws are traditional zombie fighting equipment, but one has to wonder how many zombies there are? If we're talking a shuffling horde then you've only got so much ammo/power for the chainsaw (and the splatter? These are dead people, that can't be hygienic). And in Britain where am I going to find fresh ammo? Sure those computer games have convenient shotgun shells left in every dustbin but I doubt if even the most gun-nutty corner of America has that much convenient ammunition lying around. So I'm going to stick to a biiig melee weapon for convenient hacking.

2) I'd probably want some nice techno dance/trance music to get me in the zombie killer zone. Anything by Eric Prydz or Darude would be good. Or something completely inappropriate and wrong like the Best of Eurovision or Aqua or some teenybopper crap. C'mon can't you imagine hacking your way through the living dead while "I'ma Barbie Girl" blasts out?

3) Well first of all i wouldn't want ANYONE famous. That's suicidal. They're famous, I'm not. That makes me the extra, right? Oh yes, that's going to lengthen my life expectancy. So I'd want someone who's very very very Z-list (maybe a Big Brother contestant) who is more likely to be killed off than me (Jade Goodie would be perfect. I could wound her and watch the zombies chow down) OR an ethnic minority (because the black guy ALWAYS dies first in those films - which is good fodder for a rant about racism in film to take at a later date) or at least Orlando Bloom - sure I'll die first but if it's a gay version of your classic hetero horror film it won't be until AFTER we've had sex, so that's some consolation, yes?

And no Englishmen if they are classicly trained actors or have decently proper accents - they're always bad guys who will double cross me.



(And yes, this meme is brought to you by the drunken film guessing game: where one guesses who's going to die next (ethnic minority - because if you don't kill 'em off quickly you may have to develop an actual role for them unless they're providing comic relief or couple/woman who has just had sex - because sex is BAAAD and everyone knows that if you aren't abstinent before marriage you get killed by a serial killer. The Bible says so. Maybe. Especially if you're a woman - everyone knows an intact hymen is the only way to survive an axe murderer) Who the bad guy is (English. Always. Occasionally other European, but usually a classicly trained British actor. If Sir Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee or Alan Rickman are present this is just no contest at all. Coincidentally 3 men I consider extremely sexy without being sexually attractive. Guess I have a thing for villains).

Which brings up the question, in a roundabout way...

If you had picked Jesus, can he resurrect the undead?

[mrmeval.livejournal.com]

Jesus is a zombie.

[brownkitty.livejournal.com]

So could he resurrect himself? And if he could, would he defeat himself by doing so?

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Sure he can - but the creature produced is still missing most of its cognitive function from having its brains eaten...

This may explain several election results

[vamprino.livejournal.com]

Hmm, would Ensign Ricky count as being famous?

[vamprino.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, personally, I would choose something from the Cheeky Girls, because that always gets me into a zombie-killing rage :p

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Gods you wouldn't need a weapon!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Possibly? I've never heard of him but I'm no judge!

[home-of-usher.livejournal.com]

I'll have to disagree about the black guy. Usually the angry black man with the shotgun lasts longer than half of the white cast members. unless the angry black man is already undead, then he's the most likely to kill you in the the end because he's a persistent sumbitch.

[solid-squid.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Anyway, it's always the suburban white man in a hat who tells everyone to stay calm and it'll be fine who dies first

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

And rightly so! Ruining our survival horror by being calm!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

My horror film watchage is probably a little dated :)

my answers were

[makarov.livejournal.com]

1. my MN 91/30
2. Danse Macabre
3. either Vasilly Zeitzev or Alvin York

Re: my answers were

[makarov.livejournal.com]

my choices for question 3 is because they were shooters

Re: my answers were

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

The original Danse Macabre? It's a little slow isn't it for zombie killin'

Now you're being practical with your zombie killin' kit - but what when you run out of ammo?

Re: my answers were

[makarov.livejournal.com]

it calms me, and as for running out of ammo ? thats when i join the LAST ROUND club *using my last round on myself*

Re: my answers were

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

What? You're too good to grab a melee weapon with the rest of us? pfft :P

It's not like a good mechete is going to take up too much room :P

Re: my answers were

[makarov.livejournal.com]

Sparky, my using a machette properly requires my wearing a hockey goalie mask *that should tell you what my true 1st name is*
(ki ki ki mah mah mah)

Depends on where you are in America. When I lived in Minnesota, they sold bait for fishing and shotgun shells at around 40% of the gas stations/convenience stores. They had shelves and shelves of the stuff. Whole aisles. They're very into hunting and fishing up there.

cuglas

[makarov.livejournal.com]

sounds like the bait shop on Arthur Street in Tomah, WI, and yes, we are very into hunting & fishing here, fishing ? that way i KNOW my fish is fresh, & hunting ? yeah, thats how i get 75% of my freezer meat *meat in the freezer'll get you through times of short money better than money'll get you through times of no meat in the freezer*

Re: cuglas

[cuglas.livejournal.com]

I can hunt and fish, but I just don't. It's too much work.

My youngest brother loves it, though, especially bow hunting. (Which mystifies me... You shoot the elk with an arrow and then chase it on foot for a couple of miles while it bleeds to death. Then you have to field clean it and carry the huge, heavy elk corpse out to your truck. It's WAY too much work, but very manly I suppose.)

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

lol, i suppose I can never get my head around the idea you can go to the corner shop and supermarket to pick up ammo... *does not compute*

[makarov.livejournal.com]

hell i can go to wallyworld & buy groceries,ammo for my rifles (SKS, AK & No.4 Mk1 SMLE), shotgun (Mossberg Model 500A), and handguns (Beretta, North American Arms, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, & Glock), & Jack Daniels, all in 1 trip

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

ooooookaaaay.... because being able to load up on weapons, ammo and alcohol at the same time is a good idea.

Uh-huh let me just check the Atlantic is still there... it is? *phew*

[makarov.livejournal.com]

actually, for my guns, i got most with my C&R FFL

[mrmeval.livejournal.com]

1) *mocks*, I am the weapon. All else are just accessories. Given your limitations I'd say "hardware store" as the weapon. :)
2) Rob Zombie - Dragula
3) Any comedy sidekick cause you know what happens to them!

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

pfft, if you kill zombies with your bare hands it takes too long and you break your nails!

Comedy sidekick? At least you could feed him to the zombies as a distraction

[mrmeval.livejournal.com]

Me+hardware store == molotovs, machete, chain sabers...

I picked the comedy sidekick so I wouldn't be one.... :)

[solid-squid.livejournal.com]

1) Petrol tanker combined with pressure hose and lighter. Fire usually works quite well against zombies :3

2) Theme tune to the Carry On films as I chase the zombies through the mall with my custom flamethrower

3)Someone wearing a shell suit who would be willing to carry several bottles of a clear liquid which I refuse to name for them. Preferably a chav

[makarov.livejournal.com]

NAHH, just send battalions of PRINNIES

[solid-squid.livejournal.com]

dood, why didn't I think of that?

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Yeah but you're limited as to where you cna go with a tanker. And can you imagine the smeeeeelllllllllllll?

But with the carryon theme? Yes, that would be special :)

[allthepettylies.livejournal.com]

Sir Ian McKellan and Sean Bean make the best villians ever. Although Ian was a magnificent Gandalf...

[allthepettylies.livejournal.com]

Oh and for my answers:

1) Machete. Love it

2) Bridge of Khazad-Dum, from the LOTR: FOTR soundtrack. Creeeepy, and slightly heroic.

3) David Wenham, dressed as Carl from Van Helsing. Comic relief, sexy, and I can totally bully him into making impromptu weapons for me.

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

Both to be worshipped

[amynnah.livejournal.com]

I'm posting this in my journal... oh mah gaw...

[sparkindarkness.livejournal.com]

lol :)
