Everyone pretty much jizzes their pants whenever you talk about Michael Haneke. I've sat through endless conversations with film grads, excitedly discussing how profound Haneke's work is; how his subtle social commentary and take on violence is "unbelievably thought provoking", how his meticulous and flawless filmmaking practices will haunt you for months, and so forth … Continue reading Funny Games Revisted.

Big cat
What's Big Cat? We don't get it in the UK, so I just assumed it was a Lion bar-esque type of chocolate treat. I googled it and much to my dismay, nothing came of my search. So apparently you can't get it anywhere in the world, unless the manufacturers specifically specialise in snacks of the … Continue reading Big cat
Jagged little Beth- episode recap
Poor Beth, all she ever wanted from Daryl was a shoulder to cry on, in fact all she wants to do is cry, and talk about her feelings and then maybe cry some more, but as was made mind-blowingly obvious from the last episode, Daryl is a redneck, and rednecks aren't really into tears, or … Continue reading Jagged little Beth- episode recap
Breaking The New Season Silence
What are we like 5, 6? maybe 7 episodes in, I stopped counting. You know things have hit rock bottom when you just dont give a shit and fall asleep through the end of every episode. Or when Carol drives off into the sunset and you kinda just shrug your shoulders and go 'eh', or … Continue reading Breaking The New Season Silence
The Conjuring. A film thats not about zombies. Also a true story
It would have probably been a good idea to go and watch World War Z and talk about how much i hated it, because I now have such high expectations from the undead that anything outside of my comfort zone (like zombies that run), are a no-go area for me, an area filled with hate … Continue reading The Conjuring. A film thats not about zombies. Also a true story
stuff to remember: Apocalypse edition
So here we all are, keeping ourselves busy until October 13, in what seems to be the longest wait ever. Will the governor reemerge? will Hershel grow his leg back? (judging by the trailer...), will Caesar Martinez get even hotter this season? Will zombies start to become a focus of a 'zombie show', or will … Continue reading stuff to remember: Apocalypse edition
Zombie Playlist
Evil Dead is out next week.... Translated this is my equivalent to the royal wedding. So I felt this was an appropriate time to utilise and confuse my Spotify and create a zombie playlist. a) because I have nothing better to do prior to writing my dissertation (which sadly will not be about zombies, or … Continue reading Zombie Playlist
Night of the Living Dead….a night with Nu Goths and other stuff I dont understand
I went out the other night and saw a whole lot of this going on. Not that Bjork, the mid-ninetees, or brothel creepers trouble me. Its just I've never really seen it all together. On one person. Heres another example of what I mean Do you get it? I dont get it? Should I get … Continue reading Night of the Living Dead….a night with Nu Goths and other stuff I dont understand
Girls…A show about the walking dead, only they’re not Zombies
So this week i'm doing things a little differently. Rather than talking about Daryl's potential betrayal, and that interesting situation going on in Rick's mind, I'm going to discuss the HBO show Girls, because sometimes its nice to mix it up a bit and discuss other things that may trigger a zombie apocalypse. So Girls, … Continue reading Girls…A show about the walking dead, only they’re not Zombies
Lori Grimes: Things I would’ve done differently
Theres never a dull moment during a zombie apocalypse, but aside from flesh-eating zombies, everyone on earth decided that the real enemy was none other that bi-polar Lori Grimes. It wasnt her thing with Shane that bothered me, to be honest I couldn't care less about that. She thought her husband was dead for fucksake, … Continue reading Lori Grimes: Things I would’ve done differently
