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 after a few days' interruption of what passes for civilisation, not because of any of the usual zombie-movie reasons but simply because without television et cetera they'd not know what else to do with their time. ;-)

I'd never thought of that, but yes, I could definitely see it.

A Tale of Time City movie... I'd be worried, but I'd go to see it all the same, unless I heard from a reliable source that it was rubbish.

I don't know, but I suspect it has something to do with their allegiance to the forces of Evil and the Three Teletubbies of the Apocalypse. In any event, they definitely should.

I missed it, too; no internet.

But I did the survival of the zombie apocalypse quiz. 50% odds of survival. Can't ask for better than that, I guess.

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.
