Can I get there by candle-light?

[sovay]

I can't believe zombie apocalypse came and went and I missed it. I spent too much of today at doctor's appointments, reading Deep Secret in the waiting room; I suppose I wouldn't have noticed. It does explain most of the shambling.

Under the joint associations of Shaun of the Dead and Diana Wynne Jones, however, a realization has occurred to me. Bill Nighy would make an awesome Sempitern Walker.

He's got the deadpan anguished looks. He's lanky enough to storm properly. And the pre-ceremony scenes would be worth the price of any ticket.

Why does Hollywood not bow to my every whim?

I've always figured a lot of the mallrats and suchlike would turn into the moral equivalent of zombies

I believe Kevin Smith considered doing a Dawn of the Dead parody for the opening scene of Mallrats after he discovered the existence of "Mall-walkers", generally elderly people who walk the mall in the early morning for exercise.
