  • The last stand for mutants and zombie hunger pangs

    g0poppy: actually he has much respect for a person who has a zombie contingency plan like he does
    coffeeweasel: he and i actually need to discuss this
    coffeeweasel: i have been wondering what exactly happens to zombies if they dont get brains
    coffeeweasel: nothing negative, based on the movies
    coffeeweasel: they just get cranky until they DO get brains
    coffeeweasel: except 28 days. then they die of hungy
    g0poppy: yeah or else they stop being zombies after a looong while
    coffeeweasel: ooh…really?  hmmm…that might call for a new zombie contingency plan

    So to briefly expand upon my zombie thoughts from the other day, i just
    realized that we dont really know what happens to zombies who don’t get
    brains.

    Think about it…all these zombie movies, people are running terrified,
    b/c if you are bitten, you get infected, become a zombie and then go
    questing for the flesh of others, yada yada yada we all know the drill

    but only one movie (28 days) has any sort of negative effect for the
    zombies…they starve to death. Every other movie (dead alive, evil
    dead, resident evil, night of the living dead, dawn of the dead,
    zombies ate my neighbors, etc) if the zombies can’t get brains, they
    basically…erm…wait until they can get more brains? they get cranky?
    WE DON’T KNOW!

    your thoughts?

    in the meantime…some more ADVENTURES IN AIM!

    coffeeweasel: dude, you want to meet someone based on his bong size? that cant be right
    xxxxx: well, they guy has a 6 footer
    coffeeweasel: so size matters that much to you huh?
    xxxxxx: i just bet it would be crazy to take a hit off of
    coffeeweasel: i can imagine that convo…excuse me, you dont know me,
    but sometimes i look through your window at night and i couldnt help
    but notice that you have a huge piece i would love to get my mouth
    around…
    xxxxxx: i hate you

    TaoTeDrew: shall i call you on the phone of triumph tomorrow?
    coffeeweasel: better than the phone of sorrow
    TaoTeDrew: yes, i do not like that phhone… in fact… why did we even get that phone?
    coffeeweasel: name sounded cool
    TaoTeDrew: true enough

    I went to Whole Foods the other day (or as my bro calls it, the hippie
    mart) and purchased some soy yogurt and soy cheese. It is touch being
    evolved beyond the need for milk…now i know how the xmen feel.

    And speaking of the newest xmen movie *WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD*

    here is my opinion: if you can ignore the fact that the story is
    terrible horrible and no good, and that brett ratner as a director
    sucks at life, the rest of the film is quite enjoyable.
    I cheered when cyclops died. No one grew up reading the comics and liking cyclops. The man was a bitch. whipped and a pansy.

    Other thoughts i had upon watching xmen 3:

    1) angel was totally uneccesary to this movie. All they needed was the
    name worthington. Angel did nothing except jump out of a window and
    save his father. He didn’t even fight with the xmen. lame.

    2) why did logan have to kill jean? Here’s a though…why not stick her
    with the mutant cure? or send the mutant nullifying little kid up to
    meet her?

    3) Where the hell was nightcrawler? he could have popped in, knocked jean on the head, popped out. problem solved

    4)for that matter, when did wolverine become invincible? i like him as
    much as the next guy, but mutant healing does not cover pieces of your
    skin flaking off and immediately growing back

    5) beast being a diplomat is good. but it didnt take him that long to
    decide to become a warrior again. One minute he says…churchill blah
    blah blah…next second…sorry mr pres, i have to retire to rip out
    people’s throats

    6) the all encompassing climatic battle consisted of 6 xmen versus the
    100 or so mutants that magneto could muster? and they WIN? wtf? These
    people are not that powerful…the whole point is that xmen and
    brotherhood are evenly matched

    7) rogue would not have given up her powers…this was covered in both
    the comics and the animated series in an episode that features angel
    and a supposed *cure* for the mutant gene. An episode, which, if ratner
    had watched, he could have expanded into a much better story than he
    came up with

    8) Professor X in this movie was so out of character ethically it was
    ridicoulous and i could not get past it. He would not limit another for
    safety w/o their permission, he would not take over the body of a
    comatose patient, he would not up and decide scott is unfit to lead the
    xmen (really…scott has always been a little bitch, but prof x loves
    him)

    9) I’m the juggernaut bitch. One of the few things that they did right.
    Way to pay attention to your audience. For those of you not in on the
    joke, click here and see the real reason the whole theater was laughing

  • my roommate and i have chosen to view this x-men movie as an alternate marvel universe and therefore thoroughly enjoyed the movie.  so in this alternate universe, rogue could want the cure, xavier can die, etc.  i agree with most of your points except that in point 6 it is pointed out that none of these 100 or so mutants is above a class 3 so the x-men should be able to do something against them because they both are more powerful and have had more training.  only magneto and his close cohorts were above class 3 and they waited until the underlings (who were not really part of the brotherhood) had done their thing.  also, my roommate pointed out that as the comics progress prof x is shown to be more selfish and self-righteous than is initially apparent.  therefore x being a bit more “end justifies the means” is not totally out of left field.

    now that i’ve treated this far too seriously, i will retire.  hope things are well.
