And on a lighter note:
Aug. 3rd, 2008 01:15 amStolen 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).

Date: 2008-08-03 07:35 pm (UTC)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!

Date: 2008-08-03 08:32 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2008-08-04 02:13 pm (UTC)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.)
