"Shaun of the Dead"

Finally got around to seeing it.

Awful.

Might have been funny if I was drunk whilst watching it. Hardly a Braindead/Badtaste or even as funny as an episode of Spaced.

A real letdown.

I'd say it fully disappeared up it's own ass during the queen video spoof.

That was cringe-worthy.

that's how to create a well knitted world for the story to happen though.
Kevin Smith movies wouldn't be as funny without "meeting" characters that are referenced in the other films.

i guess it just boils down to how much you're willing to suspend your disbelief and not just sit there picking apart the movie.

I got a good laugh out of it.

Spaced with Zombies.

I think they over-indulged themselves with the references they included.

Shaun of the Dead was funny I thought.

What exactly were you expecting?

Take a sip everytime they kill a zombie. :)

I obviously meant dry. We almost turned it off after the beginning of it. Tho' we managed to get through the rest. Wouldnt have bothered me if we had turned it off TBH, we could have started the drinking games earlier ;-)

Thought it was average at best.

See that's my point. If I was 14 I'm sure it'd be hilarious but I've seen much better stuff than this that actually made me laugh.

Crappy studios, watered-down crap and buffy = Bad stuff.

I'll just lie next-time and say something that's rubbish is great...
