Has anyone else had a belly full of the Zombie trash?

[Rickenbacher39]

I envy you.....I'm hooked on the TV screen, so there's no hope for me.

I found at first that Rum helped but then I had to join AA.
Kind of a viscous circle............

But seriously we really don't miss it.
We catch a glimpse every once in a while at a friend's house
and can't believe what they call "entertainment" these days.
If it was free it still wouldn't be worth it.
But like I said, we all like different things so there's room for everyone.............

Chuckle....If I was a reader I could go the no TV route. I just can't sit and read for some reason. I read fine, just can't do it for extended periods.

Your being a bit harsh.
Most Zombies don't look down there nose at you.

The truth is. About half of them can't.

I had enough of it back in the early '70s Captain, when I was leaving the theater after watching Night of the Living Dead.
So I didn't think much of the resurgence either.

The whole thing makes about as much sense a "Sharknado" Where to they get this tripe? No true thought processes her, folks, If the networks pump it out, they figure the public will "feed at the trough".

There's no real mental stimulus involved.

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

Liberals and Hollywood types love zombies because they let them live out their badass firearms fantasies without "real" people getting shot.

This trend will probably never end, same with the superhero movies, and Star Wars/Star Trek. I remember listening to an actor and a director being interviewed on a podcast and they talked about how most screenwriters and directors are hard core, comic nerds. This is why there is a glut of these movies and they will keep cranking them out as long as they make money from them.

 

[Captain O]

Yes, but these remind me of Jeff Albertson (Comic Book Guy) from The Simpsons. These people live in a world of complete and utter fantasy. (It's no wonder that they've completely lost touch with reality).

If Jesus The Christ came down to earth tomorrow morning and introduced himself, they would probably ask Him for identification.

I thought this thread was about the people living in cars, tent trailers, bushes, tents and motorhomes on the street behind the Meadowland Bimart.

Take a walk around Seattle some time it's Zombie land part 2

 

[Captain O]

Try Portland on 2nd and Burnside, the scent of urine and body odor will "bowl you over". Yecccccch! Judas Preist, it is hideous!

You ain't smelled nasty 'til you been in the Tacoma Tideflats at low tide... OMG, so horrid I hope to never have anything to do with that city ever again.

 

[CountryGent]

I hear you. There is no secret that I am a big fan of all things early movie monster (e.g., vampires, werewolves, mummies, gillman, Frankenstein's monster, space invaders, and, yes, zombies), so in general I enjoy the classics and their modern renditions. That said, yes, the zombie genre is completely oversaturated circa 2017. And I'm saying that from the vantage of someone that hasn't seen a single episode of The Walking Dead nor watches cable television. Parenthetically, I've always found the retail crossover between fictional zombies and the shooting world pretty silly, but too each their own.

There's always the saving grace of Brown and Haley Chocolatiers.

 

[Captain O]

Blah blah blah....blah blah boom.............

I'm sorry, I believed you were more intelligent than that. (Are you really that inarticulate)?

I don't hate the "zombie" genre entirely. As you stated, the "saturation" of the media by the particular setting is growing old. The "Sharknado" bull sauce got old fast as well. (I never watched any of that tripe either).

Were they to resurrect The Invisible Man (and do so correctly) it might be worth watching. Until then, *yawn* I'm not interested.

True, they're about the place's *only* redeeming quality. Maybe Surplus Ammo and Bull's Eye, but I try not to spend very long away from my foothills lair to find out.

That's called the Tacoma aroma lol been that way forever

Back to the original subject...

"Why "zombies"? Because calling it 'training to stop a rioting, starving, panicking, desperate mob after a complete governmental financial collapse apocalypse' is just too wordy."--user "rocsteady" at M4Carbine.net

You have a point.

That looks like the local bar crowd at 2:15 am on Sunday morning.
