Dead of the Dawn...

I was checking my e-mail today, and when I signed out of my hotmail account, the news article on MSN was about the new remake of Dawn of the Dead.

Now I've never been a scary movie person. The only reason I know anything about this movie at all is because Ward and I went to the most terrible movie that ever made it to the theatre (I'm talking about a little Canadian-made movie called Decoys if anyone is interested in terrible movies). There was a trailer for Dawn of the Dead before I suffered through the main attraction...But anyway, Dawn of the Dead is a zombie movie. In this remake, the makers have decided to take a few liberties with the whole zombie criteria. First of all, these zombies move at, like, lightning speed. Apparently, they also have super-human strength.

At this point, every single movie monster has been messed with. None of the original weaknesses occur in today's monsters. Well, really, the only two that never seem to follow the "old myths" are vampires and now zombies, so maybe I'm jumping the gun a little.

Really, the thing I wanted to share was this quote from the article which goes like this:

[Zombies are] the perfect villains because they're fearless, tireless and ubiquitous. You can't reason with a zombie. Zombies are the mindless masses who forcibly convert you to their way of life.

I really like this quote, if only because it seems true to real life. People try to do this kind of thing to each other; make everyone the same. It's an interesting parallel that I found, is all...

Other than that, there's not much happening. I'm helping Dan with a project for school, and then I work on Sunday.

What an uneventful life.
