RIP: Peter Steele

I was a fan of Type O Negative back in the 90’s, but had lost track of them, and everyone else, since then.

Zombieland – review

Finally managed to watch Zombieland. I had tried once before, but had to shut it off because I was eating and the first minutes were too disgusting for me to continue. This time, I waited until after dinner. The intro is still gross, but it does get better after that. Then it’s just damn funny. Not just smiles, but actually laughing out loud funny.

This movie takes a small approach to a worldwide dilemma. Instead of the blockbuster approach involving huge military actions and Presidents, blah blah blah. This starts with one guy, who has survived 2 months since the Zombie virus bloomed, and then he meets a couple other people. It’s just a peek into their world of survival in the chaos.
