Yes...Glad you're a "Dead" fan too, X. Yes, Romero's films are all as intelligent and thought-provoking as they are terrifying. I'll have far more to say about the spread of zombie culture soon. There are "zombie survival" training courses you can go on which I'm going to go on hopefully. They're running one in a Reading shopping centre!

I've often wondered who some of these 'Zombie Run' esque events are organised by under the guise of a harmless day out, a bit of fun?. Programs like this are really disgusting, it's almost the equivilent and return to of the crowds that gathered to watch a hanging or public torture in the not too distant past. This type of program introduces sadism in a tongue-&-cheek manner, but as you say, what's the real motive here other than to make someone look like a cu*t, and worse frightened to death. I think there is a greater issue here intimately connected nevertheless. It's the bismirching of sadism even when people don't mean it, mimicking-psychopathic (which still has the same effect. Like the neo-punks and neo-dark-metal that have all the studs and satanic symbolism but when you put the subtitles on their videos its hillarious because they are lyrics like: "I remember our first kiss under the blood red moon"..It's worth trying Ben. My point is is that the whole Zombie thing 'cult of the dead' as popular culture is worrying because it's all for show, it bismirches and trivializes the name of cruelty and sadism. It's the same as the non-empathetic training given to those in charge of our security services and multi agency agenda Ben<br /><br />CheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907980016894811549.post-8539645789474275852015-04-11T20:49:04.253+01:002015-04-11T20:49:04.253+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
