... Zombies, Spaced, Orange and Jedi's

Sometimes I am not angry. It might shock people who know me, but I do have a lighter side. Due to the fact that i've recently had a massage in the last few hours, I feel extremely relaxed, and due to this I feel like I must share. Share good things to you good people - and by good I mean MY favourite things. Things that I like, and which I find cool, and if you don't - well, you're wrong plain and simple.

Zombies rock period! Doesn't matter what type you have, they rock. The typical, slow-moving, George A. Romero inspired zombie - cool because you could have hours of fun just running faster then them and slowly picking them off with various household objects - OR - the fast-moving, scare you shitless, evil bastard types, made famous from the 'Dawn of the Dead' remake (and I use the word remake loosly) - cool because they are just such evil fuckers that chase you down as fast as undeadly possible, and then rip you shreds!

So firstly may I present you with the trailer for George A. Romero's new Zombie flick called Land of the dead.

If you look closely at this poster you should notice the dude in the middle with yellow eyes. Well forget him, and now look closely at the people either side of him. The one on the left is Edgar Wright, and the one on the right is Simon Pegg. Mr Wright and Mr Pegg brings me nicely onto the "the Spaced crew" subject. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg are in the middle of writing their new flick (Hot Fuzz), and yes Nick Frost is due to be in it.

Sticking on the film tip, i'm sure the majority of you have seen the recent adverts for Orange with the 'Orange Film Fund Board' - hard to miss. Well here are a couple of little gems featuring the "Board", and playing at a cinema near you (Darth) (Poverty).

And Darth Vader takes us nicely onto "oh to be a Jedi" subject. I'm sure some people have said that to themselves at some point - granted they tend to be geeks or children - but they've said it. Feast your eyes on these 3 little gems (Dodgeball) (Paperboy) (Pigeons).

I leave you for the time being with a little article taken from the August edition of Empire Magazine. The writers from Empire decided to share their Pet Theories with the public, and here is Kim Newman's one:

"James Bond is a Double Agent"

James Bond is either a traitor in the pay of the former Soviet Union, or the most inept spy who ever lived. The whole point of being a secret agent is to keep a low profile and work undercover, but this overprivileged idiot swans around casinos in tuxedos announcing his real name to all and sundry. Since 1962, he has flushed millions of pounds of taxpayers' money by losing or destroying expensive equipment; as you quibble with the tax-man over your petrol receipts, remember he has trashed a series of gadget-packed Aston Martins. Furthermore, he works for the downfall of the West by targeting the entrepreneurial businessman upon whom capitalism depends (how many jobs are lost everytime he kills a mutli-millionaire industrilist?). Everyone who gets close to the truth winds up dead - notice how many agents who work with him wind up being eaten by novelty wildlife. Worst of all, Bond consistently gets Britain a bad name by driving at high speads (after imbibing endless vodka martinis) through Thirld World street markets, trashing peasant produce stands and shagging women whose IQs probably qualify them as mentally disabled.
